  1. @dcostello - nicely done my friend, god damn that must have hurt! Thats a nice amount of black to remember haha
  2. Ah yes, Brisvegas - The f*cking greatest! ;) hahaha Sorry to anyone else from Aus but I love my home town (Melbourne is a real close second) What are you starting this week and by whom if you don't mind me asking? (Just please tell me your going to a good studio as there are some amazing ones here!) And probably a good call on finding out what they like first. Anything I've had done here in Bris has been from good friends so I've already had the inside scoop on what to bring haha
  3. Ask and ye shall receive my friend ;) in all its glory - The "Vans Warped Tour Body Suit"
  4. Shieeeeeeeeeet. I better just back away gracefully before @hogg comes down with the ban hammer... see ya guys :cool:
  5. @Amok - Completely agree. It's almost 'worse' when it's a fashion shoot with blurred boundaries of sexual exploitation ("oh it's ok she has clothes on" clothes or not, no young girl should be posing like that IMO) and when the designers and/or photographers are called out on it their excuse its automatically "no its not kiddie pr0n, its art" And incase anyone not in Australia is wondering what we are talking about in Amoks' post above Teenage nudity closes Bill Henson photography show | The Australian (I seriously doubt that its only happened in Australia, but I'm pretty sure this was what you where referring to Amok?)
  6. Does anyone have an update on whether this is legit or not? Did this man really tattoo a pair of sunglasses onto his face - or is this viral video just a Ray-Ban publicity stunt? | Mail Online
  7. HAHAHAHAHA I wish I could hit 'like' more. Sorry Dan, normally our musical tastes are pretty close... except in this instance ;) (unless your being held against your will and this is being played to you Git-Mo styles?)
  8. Haha! And the two blondes if you quickly glance at the picture. My questions is, although reluctant to ask and not sure if I really want to know - where or why was this picture taken?? lmao
  9. @ThaliaCamille - Tipping is definitely not standard here in Australia thats for sure, but it could never hurt to offer ;) As you've experienced, unless your in a restaurant/bar etc and there is a clear tip jar, most aussies will just say "nah, she's right you might need it" lol, and its true, you might need it. My understanding of the reason for tipping was to help supplement a low income/low hourly wage? If anyone wants to help shed some further light on this feel free to jump in, I'm from a non tipping tribe As mentioned, what does go down a treat here with tattooers (and anywhere else in the world I'm sure) is a beer or 3, nicely rolled joint (should they be that way inclined) or even some snacks or a cold refreshing beverage for the session. Where in Australia are you at the moment?
  10. I admit I had to do a double, possibly triple take to fully grasp the hilarity of this photo "What? I don't get it? It's just some guys with thei... oh. Carry on."
  11. Yeah I know... I thought the exact same thing hahaha. But damn, she looks like him!!
  12. @CaptCanada - bahahahahaha now thats some cultural differences! I was sort of aware about the Japanese and their attitude towards nudity with bath houses, the naked man festival (google it if you have no idea what I'm talking about!) but this is on some next level steez ;) (and clearly the greatest high school system in the world!) Honestly though, cheers for sharing those stories, especially the pr0n one haha, you could have taken that one to the grave Oh and my quote of the week this week people is:
  13. *Stolen from Revoks' blog Revok1 MIKE DIANA – CRIMINAL CARTOONIST Posted on September 30, 2011 by Revok My friend LOGAN HICKS just sent me this… UNBELIEVABLE. Saw your post on the FLA rapper who was sentenced to two years. It’s not the first time someone has been prosecuted for the art they made. Check out the case of Mike Diana which happened in the early 90′s. Mike drew these comics that were super unrealistic and looked like kids doodles. they had people eating each other, guys with spiked dicks fucking chicks, kids getting ground up into meat. the kind of stuff a prepubscent kid would think up. They arrested Mike on Obscenity charges, and he nearly went to jail, was prohibited from being around any child younger than a certain age (i think 13) without supervision and this included members of his own family, he was prohibited from drawing!. Bunch of other shit happened too. if you have the time, check the link below. I did an interview with Mike in 94. he’s a good guy, but he really got fucked too. he can’t go back to his home state cause he’ll be arrested. Mike Diana - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia “Diana was found guilty on all three counts, and was sentenced to a three-year probation, during which time his residence was subject to inspection to determine if he was in possession of or was creating obscene material. He was to avoid all contact with children under 18, undergo psychological testing, enroll in a journalistic ethics course, pay a $3,000 fine, and perform 1,248 hours of community service. He was also ordered to cease drawing for personal use, and his place of residence was to be open to inspection by the police, without warning or warrant, at any time, for illustrations violating this ruling.[6] He was not sentenced to any jail time, but spent four days in jail between the dates of the verdict and the sentencing. To fulfill the requirement of undergoing a psychiatric evaluation, Diana was informed that the doctor whom he would see charged $100 an hour, which he would have to pay for himself, and that his evaluation would take two hours. After the evaluation, Diana was informed the session would cost $1,200 because the doctor claimed to have spent 10 hours reading Boiled Angel in preparation. Out of funds, Diana was unable to pay, and the doctor refused to give her evaluation to the court, effectively making him in violation of his probation."
  14. The other day I was looking at Shiges' site and saw this photo I then realised that this client must have the same concerns and considerations for his artist as @hogg does ;) Shige to client "Lets get a photo of your chest piece and sleeves" Client to Shige "Just let me take off my pants"... lol. (yes I am aware that on shiges' site you can see that the same client was getting photos of his backpiece at the same time... but for the purposes of hilarity we won't acknowledge that)
  15. Speaking of Miyazo ;) http://www.miyazo.com/welcome.html ^^ wow. just wow. In the series I posted above, Horistune talks about how important the background is, and how when a client comes to him with an idea its the first thing he thinks of. Well, I think he has passed on those ideals to Miyazo perfectly - every time I look at his backgrounds I could get lost for hours
  16. These are by Horitsune II from Osaka Japan. The first is on his pupil Miyazo and the second is on tattooer Rob Admiraal (The piece on the lady is one of Robs' clients/his work) ^^ So friggin good!!! I tried to find a better photo of Robs' backpiece, but good luck finding much if any of Horitsune IIs' work online. There is a series of videos though called 'Onko Chishin' and are well worth checking out, so do it ;)
  17. @JAllen - "WAFFLES, WAFFLES, WAFFLES" hahahahaha that was awesome
  18. Ok, where the f*ck do I sign up for this association :p haha... but seriously, where?
  19. @RoryQ - nah man, your KEEPING your word ;) you said if all goes well you would post pics. There was no stipulation on when that would occur . Oh and your back is looking ridiculously good also :cool:
