Cool little video with Duncan X. Seems like an interesting guy.. I like the style of his tattooing. I'd like a piece from him for sure, probably on my torso somewhere... has anyone got work from him?

This is the best picture I could get of the Thom Devita backpiece when new. Snagged from my copy of Tattooing A to Z by Huck Spaulding

This is not mine, but I wish it was!

That seems so strange to me...
Actually, reviewing "the list" in my head I've only ever been in a relationship with one man without any tattoos at all... and he was a schlecht. Not to say that all the tattooed men I ever dated were awesome catches- but the one particular guy with no tattoos was especially awful.
I always knew that I liked tattoos (and liked men with tattoos), but I had never actually stopped to review my dating choices in regards to tattooed vs. not tattooed men until just now. I'm learning all kinds of things about myself this evening!

sorry for the shitty picture, but this is from my instagram. here's a little garbage can cat filler i got from dan santoro on saturday. he also spider webbed my right shoulder. my right arm is so close to being done.

Found this one of Tony D'Annessa on Getty Images. They say the photo is from 1955, but Tony started tattooing in 1958 so who knows exactly when the photo is from.

And one of Tony from the 4th of July this past year, posted by Dave Cummings on his instagram:

That also answers the question about what a tattoo will look like with a scar through it: hard as fucking nails.

I was on Xam's waiting list for about a year and a half, and had my appointment last month, so you should be up soon! It was worth the wait!

Amputation seems to be your only bet. Better get that fucker cut off ASAP.
Nice anchor btw. Desa do that one?

Irish micro take on American pale ale. I think it would pass muster.
You can't tell but the bottle cap was a ring-pull... Great idea.

My latest, another torch. Done by Xam at The Family Business in London, last Monday. Healing up pretty good. Pic is fresh, as you can tell from the bloody paper towels!
