I was 15 and I forgot to bring my clothes into the bathroom with me to shower(so I was fully dressed when exiting). I went out to get my shirt and my mom saw the tattoo on my arm. After gasping she said, "well I guess I should've expected this". Soon after she kicked me out of the house. Four years later she let me move back in for a little and let me set up a 'home studio' in the garage and even tolerated all the cholos coming over to get tattooed. Very hip lady

You are some sort of a saint Shawn.
Thank you.

lol what the hell are people in florida smoking? spong bob on a construction workers hands? never seen that out here in cali, Now that would make for good tv, fucking garden gnomes on trailer trash chicks with no panties and spong bobs on bikers and shit, sounds a hell of a lot better than watching Garver tattoo a crazy piece on some jock thats crying about some anal herpies he ex gave him, nothing againts Garver, shit I really want to get tattooed by him, its just if Conor's had a show I wouid be watching that laughing my ass off.

Dave: So. What were you thinking about?
Me: Dunno. Maybe a trailer trash pin up girl.
Dave: I thought you wanted a Japanese demon?
Me: That works too. Pick which one you want and draw it up, I'm going to watch a movie.
Dave: Ok.
Haha.

guy comes in a few years back, part of a construction crew. smelled like weed and beer first thing in the morning. the tattoos on his face let me know he was serious when he asked for a " hood spongebob". best ever.

yes! yes! yes! most everyone at one of inksmiths many shops deserve a lil' nod. i saw some mike wilson work in person today and it made all of dudes other tattoos look like ass. just that good.

I wish it wasn't an april fools joke...

Oh damn I feel like i opened a can of worms with this post, It kinda seems like we are flushing something out, whatever that is im not sure? Its good so hear all you guys chime in and give your two pennies worth, I guess we all have one thing in common, uuhhh tattoo's?

Please tell me exactly how you were able to refrain from saying "your mom."

Erica, I recognize your brilliance.

Awesome recognizes Awesome, obviously.

Plus Gil Montie rules.

This is the best I have so far!
The lettering and negative drop shadow was done by Dave Cise at the Baltimore Tattoo Museum.......the photo was taken by my good friend Lauren Barnhart right after the tattoo was finished! Lining on the lower neck (woman blowing leaf petals) was done by Jon Glessner and his art as well....and the color was added by Brady Duncan! And everything on my chest you can see is by Brady as well!

i told my friends about squidpants
:D

i am guilty of so many of these annoying things. not the worst or the ridiculous.
but i sometimes say; ink, work and i love to call shitty tattoo artist that work at home kitchen wizards.
do i care that it may annoy other people? not really.

You guys, don't worry about Gia, she's just easily annoyed. I suspect it's the people, and not really their choice of words that's bothering her. Or that her squid slacks are itchy.
