Patriot Ink Tattoo

Wow, you fuckers are strange. LOL. j/k. I had one the other night. Long story short, I was tattooing flames on this guy, I got done, went to bandage the tattoo and noticed the flames were real. The fucking guy was on fire and instead of trying to put him out, I screamed and ran, but there was no door to the shop, so the guy just chased me around until I woke up. I actually woke up, and jumped out of bed trying to find the door. Then I started laughing my ass off.

Guessing those tattoos are for Autism Speaks, an advocacy group for people with Autism. The puzzle piece is their logo. Or was the the joke..?

I just wanted to note that I just did a copy and paste with that photo. I did no research. I just found the caption funny. If I would have known it was for Autism Speaks I wouldn't have posted it.

Lol. Tim Hendricks is awesome though. Did you know he builds machines? Funny watching Montaya mess around too.

I have a One Off by Tim

Not sure if this fits here, but Tattoo US to help support LIVESTRONG! | eBay

Well, I just got done unbraiding my beard.....thanks :(

Just wanted to add that I was just kidding

lol! Welcome robd.

Back to the actual thread (thanks Kev)

I actually had someone bring me a picture, taken of their TV while watching Ink Master, and wanted "that tattoo".

Sadly I think this will be a trend this year. "TV Tattoos"

Haha, by the sounds of it - YES! (you can't leave it at that though, the people want more!) ;)

Seconded. I propose a new thread entitled "Porter Stories"

"The flow of the GOD DAMN LINE!" - Mr. Oliver Peck

hmm I have strange feeling that claiming to want a tattoo by Oliver Peck is going to be the new claiming to want tattoos by Kat Von D, or any of the other reality show tattooers.

Just a note about the Wizard tatt trend. I briefly talked to Tim Lehi about doing one a couple years ago, def still want that to happen. His wizards are the fuckin jam. All evil and magical and metal-ey.

Unfortunately think I think you're right. And I hope that the Tattoo Age doc.s don't go viral and shit, don't get me wrong, but some people don't deserve to get tattooed by some of these great artists, not saying that I even do, but fuck man, I'm scared of how stuffs going. Remember when you had to do your homework to find out whose these people were, then in turn (somehow) earn the right to get tattooed by them. (hope this makes sense, I'm super tired)

Welcome bruva. This is an awesome place. The regulars are great people. Hope to see you around the threads!

I just watched Ep1.

You're right.... "raw talent" and Nunez's "thats my opinion" are going to get old.

Word! Peck is the only one that hasn't pissed me off yet.

Regardless of the topic, why must every reality show have some douche who says "I didn't come here to make friends".

I'm going to go on a show. I'm going to say "I totally came here to make a bunch of friends, hopefully have sex with someone, and maybe just maybe not look like a big ol' douche on tv."

I would love to add "fuck raw talent".....

I love The Who

Welcome

Got this little guy from a buddy of mine on Friday, filled a nice little awkward spot

That frikkin' cool

Who did they sand home last night anyway?

Squirrel Nut Zippers all day long.

Josh Woods works out of Black 13 Tattoo Parlor in Nashville, Tn. Here's a link to his gallery : gallery meta title*|*Black 13 Tattoo

His style of tattooing is totally not what I'd wear, but I can appreciate the skill it takes to pull off the tattoos he does.

I didn't much care for the show, but then I hate "reality TV" anyway.

I agree the tattoos are super clean and everything, but I grew out of the "new skool" style about 8 years ago.

I am kind of drawn to it even though I hate it. Like looking at a car wreck..lol

I am not into facial tattoos on my self, but I think there is a fine line of what looks good as a facial tattoo and what doesn't. For sure no tribal on the face unless it is your heritage.

Well...I got my first when I was 16 in Sturgis. I'd like to say that my kids would have to wait until they're 18 but since I tattoo and own shop, it will probably be when they're 16.

Anyone count all the times they said "raw talent"?

I think it was about as many times as Oliver said "tats" in his SPT interview!!

But this one......
