Hello
in Initiation
Welcome to LST

Some stuff I look at from time to time. Keeps me going.

Chad Koeplinger told me he visited Roy before he passed and that it was a very surreal experience.
I met him and Debra once at a convention and they scared the crap out of me, but that's not really a negative.
Has Chad Koeplinger shared the story on LST?

Haha yeah

Just putting this out there for Mr. Sylvia and the other administrators.
I just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to interview all of these really talented tattoo artists and machine builders. You often speak in the videos about the level of exposure that tattooing has now. It is far more exposed and open than when you first got into the business. The number of scratchers is a lot higher. That being said for me personally, I believe that exposure to artists of the caliber that you interview is still rather limited. I'm currently a graduate student and won't be free of academia for some years yet. Your work on this site helps bring important aspects of tattooing to me, and I sure as Hell can't travel and see many of these people at this point. Tattooing right now isn't all sunshine and lollipops but you know better than I do that there are good, down to Earth people doing high quality work.
Thank you,
Jack

I grew up in a hippy ass section of Minneapolis called the West Bank, and there were a few biker bars on the south end of the neighborhood. I remember I was about 8 years old when I really noticed them and thought they were rad as shit.
On another note, I remember when my son first noticed tattoos as something unnatural on the body. When he was 3, he was sitting on my lap when his eyes locked onto my arm. He grabbed my arm firmly and scanned it over with intense focus...then let out the words "cool, dad"
Awesome story. I love the West Bank of the Cities.

The epilogue makes this story awesome.

How many colors are in that snake?

Native American Lady head is probably my next tattoo. Tiger Lily from Peter Pan, man.

This show is terrible.

There is so much cool flash in Stoney Knows How (the book).

I think we should start ending discussions about tattoos with "It will be til butt cheeks."
-
Cool, thanks

Also sorry for the strange location and angle. It's hard to take a picture of your own leg.

I agree. in the last few decades Lyle Tuttle has been quick to say that his success is more a product than anything. We've had some insightful correspondence about modern tattooing in the last few years.

I heard that Chris Conn quit tattooing because hr got burnt out on it. Can anyone back up this claim? Any idea if he's still doing other art now?
-
Oh man, some good stories here. Living in spring break central (panama city, fl) it's always fun to people watch while getting tattooed and hearing the crazy ideas and outraged voices when they hear what a good tattoo will cost.
Last tattoo I got, was talking to a mom and her kids during a break and she was about to get a sand dollar on her foot. All you could hear was her screaming the whole time and got so panicked, she farted. Awkwarddd
Awkward is right, what did you say after she ripped one?
-
I like this a lot.
Why can't people simply appreciate a tattoo for it's artistic quality?

Delicious said it better. There will always be negative people out there, to that end
