Terrible cell phone picture, a little red n bloody, but you get the idea. Yesterday was a blast -- ran into @Perez and an hour or so later got one knee webbed. Hopefully we can knock out the other one next week or soon.. Thanks again dude, you're the best.

No you are

Doug Hardy was here the other day and told us about being in a bar talking to a guy who struck up a conversation with him about his tattoos. At one point the guy said, completely seriously. "Y'know I always wanted to get a tattoo, but I never knew anyone that died."

Thanks TV.

I love you.

No, we dont.

Cheyenne Sawyer from Atlas tattoo in Portland Oregon.

Not only is he one of the most unique human beings I have ever been friends and co workers with, he has the ability to make ANY idea look amazing. big or small.

The man taught me how to be a real "professional" and I was his boss, lol!

He and Gilsdorf are some of the best and most inspiring tattooers working right now.

Can anyone hook me up with the names of some shops or tattooers? The only tattooer I know that currently tattoos in Hawaii is Shon Lindauer.

You sure he hasn't been kicked out of there yet?

I'll be working the convention this year with Mike Adams, Josh Stephens, and Daryl Rodriguez. Come through to the booth and say what's up! I'm taking appointments as well as walk-ups the whole weekend and will be tattooing designs out of a book of flash I'll have with me. Hope to see some of you guys there!

And me, jerkoff!

I went once a day every day it was up. I bought a big insanely beautiful scroll painting from Thom. Had the pleasure of meeting Scott Harrison, who was the coolest fucking dude. Got to hang with Binky and Higgs for a minute. Watched Grez tattoo some. Took a polaroid with DeVita. Met some nice folks, saw some people I don't see too often. Chris did an amazing job setting it all up, attending this is already the coolest thing I've done in 2013 and I have a feeling it's gonna be tough to beat.

...On second thought, maybe you should just let Tim pick out your dragon.

Andy Perez, I love your stuff, cant wait to see some stuff in person! Our shop has a double booth this year, so if any of you LSTers need a safe spot to stash some newly purchased goodies, feel free to stop at the booth and say hello! Safe travels to all of those out of towners

thanks man! swing by the booth!

I'll be there from Friday till Sunday with at minimum one other person. Probably not getting tattooed but my friend is going to. Im pretty sure @ShawnPorter will be there and if I remember correctly @Perez is on the site as going.

Im here all the time, just get @gougetheeyes to call me and i'll come out

Last night a girl asked me why I had a butterfly tattooed on my hand, I told her "Because when you're an actual tough guy you can get whatever kind of girly tattoos you want."

I wouldn't be bragging about either picture.

When I catch people staring at my hand tattoos on the train I'll slowly move my hand towards my crotch and then pretend like I caught them staring at my dick and give them a disgusted look. That or just lock eyes and don't break for a solid 3 count, it freaks the shit out of people, actually had someone switch train cars after that once.

Bunch of my shit on there too! bummer. I wish it was easier to just DDOS their site, fuckers.

I travel to MAKE tattoos! 3 hours each way two days a week to New Jersey.

Those photos are rad.

if anyone wants to get down on some adventuring my Battletag is: PEREZNYC#1725 I'm in nightmare difficulty at the moment, and this game only gets more fun!

There were dudes on another tattooers-only board I used to post on, that were trying to get this guy shut down for years.

In my opinion, the "misses" aren't so much the overall design or composition or anything like that.. His lines are a little loose for my liking, some of his tattoos turn out pretty clean but others it just looks like he blew through it and didn't take his time. Not talking bad about the guy or his art, just something that I personally wouldn't want tattooed on myself. He did do a pretty crazy torso piece recently that Im quite jealous of though!

Something I've noticed from working with Robert is you can't photograph a Robert Ryan tattoo. It just doesn't work. I'll see tattoos he does at the shop, (like Shawn's for instance or Greg's front torso piece), and in person they'll put you on your ass. but i'll see a photo of it he puts up on instagram on my way home and i'm taken aback by how little of the power can be contained in the picture. His tattoos really have to be seen in person to be appreciated. and like T.D. says "Any Imperfections only add to it's beauty"

Hey Tim, I used to live in G-ville and am old friends with Dave K.

I think Perez was amused by the choises you gave. Is he great or best. Is he god or Lemmy :)

exactly.

Regino is an amazing tattooer, and an equally amazing painter/artist.

Hahah "Regino Gonzales, Great or Best?"
