There are a lot of shops run by/affiliated with various clubs. That doesn't mean that they are in any way operating illegally, or unethically. To assume that a M.C. is a criminal group is a typical candy-ass mistake.

Read it through, and all I can say is from the perspective of someone who has ridden in a club, who has friends in a large, mainline club, and who rides. Fuck him and the horse he rode in on. Does this douche-nozzle stop for one fucking second to think about the ramifications of the spew he writes about how the entire industry is being extorted by M.C.'s?! Fuck no. Straight sensationalism. If he qualified it, and said "in this city...", or gave some type of back-up, "this is my friend who ran such and such a shop that was extorted...", but no, he just ssquirts it out there and runs.' Thought the rest of the article sucked too.

Saw Ozie bite the head off his first bat at the Ampitheater in Chicago...he sure nuff didn't expect it to be the real thing! Ah, the bad old days...

Everything's better with Ozzie...

CTC is the oldest shop in three states, and until relatively recently was the ONLY shop in Illinois. Can't go wrong there.

Been in a few jernts where the tattoos dint glow in the dark, but the people wearing 'em did.

Maker's MArk got hit the same as most other companies making bourbon, by an unexpected, radical increase in bourbon consumption. There are something like 116 premium bourbons out there now, and more being drunk than ever before. According to the guy making the projections for MM, they got so radically oversold that it was just a question of trying to satisfy most, if not all, of their market. But it sucks. Never really thought of MM as "premium" bourbon when I drank, I'd just as lief have Old Granddad-at least you were getting an honest glass that way.

Another argument for buying bottled in bond whisky.

Estonia is in northern Europe? Here I been thinking it's on the threshhold of a dream! Just shuckin'...welcome to LST, and please, enjoy your stay!

What you be about, Homes?

That bad boy looks like a Clutch Cargo tiger!

Eisen, you really need to get some tattooing, son!

And here I don't even have a hip pic that's less than ten years old. So...this is out in Washington state last year, near Sequim at a place called Eddy's Hook. And this is the ancient version...I THINK this pic is from about 96, 97, like that.

Hi Jack, you seem to have a number of posts here, so obviously know your way around! Hate to see intro's go unanswered, so here you are...welcome to LST, hope you enjoy your stay.

Geetings and salutations, Alexander, and welcome to LST. Hope you enjoy yourself here, and looking forward to seeing your work.

Okay, I'll totally buy the chicken dinner for this, but you're gonna hafta visit Scary Gary to collect, it's the only place I go for chicken!

"Lamp black" or candle-soot...in a joint in Kali? Dude...where'd you cell?

I've got a large cover-up on my upper-arm that was put together using pieces of three different flash pieces. Worked out well. CTC has always had a huge amount of flash, first on the wall, then on flip-panels, and it ranges from old, old familiar pieces, through the decades. You can really trace the history of tattoing, say from the forties through today. There is old traditional designs gotten from tattooers long ago and far away, to iconic sixties and seventies flash, to modern stuff. If you are in a decent shop, you should be able to find something, or pieces of something, that can be made into whatever it is you are looking for.

HurChuBad. Actually, a mixed style that incorporates elements of TKD, HKD, Jiujitsu, Judo, boxing, wrestling, and anything else that works.

Juggalos...CWB at it's worst.

Eilin, you've got nicer fillers than lots of people have tattoos!

Well, as long as you aren't jailin' tough, drawers hangin' out in the breeze, 6X white tee-shirt, baseball cap with an ironed brim n the tag still on all busted sideways, klown shoes with the tongue flappin' n the laces draggin, yo, then you should be okay!

Hammerskins own those crossed hammers straight the fuck out. There was another group that used the axes, but they were nowhere near as big, and I'm not sure they're even around anymore-go for it!

It'll get there, Jessica...we all have those old tattoos lurking 'neath fresh ink!

Else, that is the finest looking knee I've seen in an age! I think you're my new hero!!!
