It doesn't matter what you call yourself or what others call you........just get good, solid tattoos....and enjoy yourself while you are doing it!

True enough.
I hate when people say "but tattoo artists HATE it!!" about something.
Here's something: Some tattooers are douchebags. Them being a tattooer, even a GOOD tattooer, doesn't make them right or profound. It makes them another asshole with an opinion and there's nothing special or unique about having one of those.
If you think you're a collector, you probably are. It's a way to describe what you do- collect tattoos from people you dig. I collect toys. I collect dvds. I have a lot of passion when it comes to my collections; I think about which swatches to buy, know when some obscure film is going to be released on dvd, read articles about toy production.
I guess if you looked at it like that, I collect tattoos too. I find myself interested in the whole culture of it, not just "gettin' a new tat'.
Verdict:
It's not bad to be called a collector/call yourself a collector.
It's not bad to not WANT to be called a collector/call yourself a collector.

Whoaaaaooohhh so many amazing tattoos being posted!! Love love love the white tiger and the dragon lamp. I don't know why great tattoos are so romantic, I swear I actually swoon when I see them.
Very hard to follow up on these awesome pieces, but I just wanna post this one from yesterday. One session, 3 hours, lots of fun! Dunno what I'd do without such cool clients, they're always the ones with the crazy ideas, I'm just lucky enough to get to draw them :)

Four hours is a loooong time on the back. Kudos!

Not quite sure where to post this, but I'll stick it here.
My non-biological daughter gave me this awesome piece of art for my birthday. Some of you saw it on IG. Now I have to go get it framed.
I think that at some point I'll end up wearing it.

I'm reading "The Shadow Over Santa Susana" A bunch of theories and tangents of the Manson family murders tied up in one nice little package. I'm not a conspiracy theory nut or anything, but it does make for a good read.

Phone calls and visits and a nice cook out, and a memorable ride to the grocery store in my old VW. And I got this awesome dashboard hula girl for the bug.

@else just as info, my daddy/daughter tattoo day was funded by me. The kid had her heart set on a Homeward Bound tattoo, but was resigned to putting it off this year because of trying to remodel her house. It was a unexpected treat for her and a great memory for me. (And I got Woodchuck Norris!!!!)
