  1. I hope he enjoys his hep c. fantasy tattoo is disgusting. I know scratchers that won't work there.
  2. Everyone is talking about the dogfish beers havnt tried them myself. I love oskar blues I believe every beer they can is liquid gold.
  3. Ha ha these are awesome stories! Here's mine. I was 18 (2005) I had just torn my acl skateboarding. I had a drawing of a pair of trucks that i had drawn while laying in bed on painkillers. I got tattooed by my buddy guido baldini in Santa fe nm. Just walked in and gave him my design. He ate some pizza and tattooed the design on me in about 20min. Still love it. I got it hooked up by marie sena a couple years ago. Not as cool but figure I could share.
  4. Been seeing this on fb. First time I heard that skin candy is involved. And my fw's are taking way too long to get here. Are they actually going to carry tattoo supplies? Why would they sell ink but nothing else? This sounds a little fishy still. I also havnt been following this too closely.
  5. word up. I have not been to radegast, I am down to try it. Peculiar is pretty sweet. thursday shouldnt be to crowded. we can also try the rabbit club on mcdougal. the dude that owns it is an extra cool guy. As long as good beer and the music isnt too loud/top10 im happy.
  6. Im in on the 5th I work everyday pretty much.
  7. Im with this guy. I work in the bronx where there is a 5-1, haggler-serious client ratio. I just dont mind the hagglers. they come in ask "how much for a sleeve?" I tell them my price, and I even tell them that im willing to work with a budget. they just say ok thank and leave. I believe that they are not serious anyways and I focus on those who come in and dont even ask about a price. you will notice there is a major difference in the conversation alone. hagglers just are not ready to get a tattoo. and if they talk you down and you tattoo them chances are you wont be into tattooing them and you will regret it and so will they. I dont ever try and explain my price. thier adults they should know that you get what you pay for. especially when every shop in the nyc area has that stupid "good tattoos aren't cheap, cheap tattoos aren't good" sign... i hate that thing. edit: i forgot to mention that we are also located across the street from "tuff city" so its easy to be right in between really expensive and really cheap.
  8. The Jewish cemetery problem isn't true. they will bury you. They chop off part of your Dick and still bury you. The misconseption is about leaving this world as you came in. Some cemeteries will give you a hard time apparently but its b.s. I grew up in israel, plenty of us walking around with tattoos. And buried in Israel. I think its more of a disgrace for the old folk who went thru the whole nazi thing you know...
  9. I eagerly check my emails and this thread daily.. waiting for tge day that i can order this book.
  10. Ha ha I actually forgot about it. Then my buddy called me up, he wanted to grab a beer in the village. So we went to the pub. No worries man. We can still grab a brew another time.
  11. The LST nyc meet up was a great success! It was me... And well... Thats about it. The peculier pub is pretty cool lol. @gougetheeyes we can grab a beer soon!
  12. Lol my buddy was supposed to be on this show. Wtf does dave navarro have anything to do with this?
  13. Welcome! There are a few nyc heads in here. Head over the the nyc meet up thread.
  14. I bet the parents let it happen. I also didnt take money into consideration when commenting on the situation.
  15. Lols sorry I skipped that part. Yeah equal trade....
  16. Well isn't that why we tattoo? Cause we enjoy it and its cool... If it wasn't we would have to go down to home depot to get tattooed. Luckily our society has a set checks and balances to weed out phonies. Course kitchen magicians will exist till the end of time. I just don't think you should knock every kid for trying. They might be the next Tim Hendrix. I honestly think that our education system is fucked but that's a whole new discussion.
  17. I bet you would trade for laser hair or tattoo removal. I get bugged when cool hipsters photographers offer their services in a trade.
  18. *points at the Oliver peck interview* if you could tattoo at 15 you probably would. I know a dozen tattooers who started hand poking in their punk days. If life was perfect it would be boring.
  19. On a side note, My girlfriend has a half sleeve done by a pro working in a more then legitimate shop. Blow outs, skips uneven line work it has it all. She however did her homework and paid a lot for terrible work she was not happy about. What about "catching crumbs" and stooping down to their prices? If anyone here has ever worked in the west village or st. Marks in nyc should know a few "professionals" charging $80 an hour. While doing ecstasy tabs at work. People are just dumb... They don't look aT portfolios and certificates. They don't ask about hygiene and sterility.
