Some people can detect anti-semitism even when its a mile below the surface of the earth in a top secret bunker that doesn't exist.

There's this great new site called Snopes.com you guys gotta check it out, it's AWESOME!

I've noticed this too, but I just figured it was unfortunate souls posting pictures of tattoos on THEM, not stuff they'd tattooed. Either way it's kind of a bummer, but what are ya gonna do, y'know?

"I cant believed I even watched this trailer. Made me sick. Why Oliver Peck is involved with this project, I cant tell you, but I guess at the bottom line, money talks.
I cant even begin to get in to the problems with this type of programming. What good can come out of timed tattoo competitions between a bunch of people who think they’re “the best”. What kind of attitudes about tattooing is this promoting? No good ones.
They’re just going to milk money out of our industry for as long as they can, while using bullshit ideas and clever editing to put false ideas in the general public’s head as long as we keep letting them. It’s a damn shame." - what a tattoo artist posted on tumblr about it.

Ps: When everyone is in town, since I like food as much (ok, my waist line may say more) than tattoos... we should get dinner.
There's a great place by my bar that's open till 2am, and they have Pheasant confit....

I have a real sneaky one on the inside of my arm.

If you have to ask, you can't afford it.

For anyone who can't afford a copy, for $15 buck I'll wear a red beanie and give you a personal recitation. $20 if you want me to wear pants.

Okay, I asked my Japanese wife what she though about a swastika and her reaction was "temple"... as in a Buddhist Temple. After I showed her the painting Jinxproof has and she said kiss (rock band). I then asked her if she had any connection between the swastika and Nazi's, nope.
Could just be that she is ignorant of the past 80 years or that in the east the hooked cross stands for something different.

My pleasure pal! Like I said Happy to do it, now when we hang out I can actually pay attention to our conversations since I wont be staring at that shitty patch of dots dying to fix it ahahaha! Funny though I was looking at the links and was like "man those look funny, ...did i fucking shade those backwards!?" then i looked at the lettering on your bailey tattoo.. haha.

who did that panther poking out on the inside of your bicep it looks great
those stars and dots make think thats the way to go good choice and artist

Gotta say, when dars and stots are done right it makes a world of difference! Be it from empty space or a portion of your arm you got fucked up by someone who, at least at the time, didn't know his ass from a hole in the ground.. or had never even seen stars and dots filler..
So @Perez helped me out by doing some little filler yesterday and trying to get the half of my arm that was starred and dotted and looked like shit back on track. Here are two really terrible photos but I am so pumped that my arm basically looks the way I always thought it should! Can't believe I waited this long to get this done..

Thanks buddy!!

Mike Brown was a good man and a good tattooer till the end.
I am glad I got to work with him and get tattooed by him and learned how do do proper script from him.
He wrote the nicest Saoirse I'd ever seen and I still use it.
He was also the kinda fella who would always send people your way and knew the value of a proper introduction.
He did some brilliant flash, proper fine line black n grey style.. and some of the best gangster cartoons goin.
God bless him. R.I.P.

Me and my wife both have this same tattoo (same but different), because we always thought he looked a lot like a kewpie doll. Mine was done by Justin Dion and hers was done by Mario Desa.
Of course I also got a hot stuff devil for him too because of his not so cute times.
I really like that rib piece that Scott Sylvia did with hot stuff riding a panther and kewpie riding a white tiger. I thought that was really fun and traditional but still worked well with Japanese work. Obviously wouldn't work for the chest but there is a pretty cool hot stuff in this book wearing a kimono with some background that would be a good idea for one chest panel. If the book wasn't at the shop I just take a pic and post it.

How about Mike Perfettos in Bensonhurst, Goldfields in SF, Kadillac Tattoo in Philadelphia, Crazy Eddies in Philadelphia, Tattoo Peters in Amsterdam, all great shops that have been around a long time and are crammed with tattoo history. R and D tattoo in Queens is floor to ceiling with hand painted NY style flash. These shops have been worked and are steeped in tattoo mojo.
On a Monday Shamrock in Hollywood has Mark Mahoney, Freddy Negrete and Rick Walters, thats over 100 years of tattooing there and its a great lookin shop.
Spotlight in Hollywood is another great shop with real character and a waiting room with 4 walls of hand painted Bob Roberts flash.
Bert Grimms on the Pike R.I.P. was the benchmark for all tattoo shops and when I went in there I knew there was no way I was leavin without gettin tattooed.

Buying a king size print from one of your favorite artists, getting it framed properly, hanging it on your wall and taking two steps back.

I´ve been staring at the original hanging by Marius´ station for hours while getting tattooed, so when he decided to make giclee prints of it I had to rape my wallet and buy one.
Stoked!
