    Homemade and Jailhouse Tattoos

    in Crazy Tattoo Stories

    Posted

    As mentioned before, I'd still be interesting in seein some pictures man. If you want I can give you my email address in case you don't want to post them up. I'll keep them strictly for personal reference. I've been trying to compile some jailhouse stuff. It'd be nice to see some from different places.

    I've still got one piece of jailhouse, but the rest I covered. I have been going through my pix, and I have some picked out I may post, but I'm going to have to do a lot of cropping and blacking-out. Now, none of these are pix of the tattoos, they are, mostly, pictures of brothers representing, some in prison, some on the street, and you can see tattoos. Some clearly, some not so clearly. If that would be of interest, I'll get some up, but if you really want to see the tattooing plainly, most of them won't interest you.

    I tattooed a purple daisy on the lower calf of a fairly notorious sniper/killer from back in the early seventies...

    April 2013 Tattoo of the Month Contest

    I guess I'll go first, but I already have a feeling that I'll be going up against some really tough competition this month.

    Nick Colella formerly of Chicago Tattoo Co., currently going rogue until he makes an announcement about whatever he has in the works:

    Nick's not really going rogue, he's in the midst of setting-up his new shop...but you for-real got a hella souvenir of CTC there! REally something to brag about, Heathenist!

    It is neat stuff-hooked-up with Nick to put on one of the old flash pieces here shortly.

    That arcade at 500 S. State is the first place I ever saw real tattooing done-neat stuff.

    Don't follow IG, so I don't know about his accounts, but I know that Nick got hassled my FaceBook for having too many followers because of the tattoo business, he had to start another "commercial" page for Great Lakes.

    Either way, it's good to see people appreciating Nick's work, the man is a trip.

    Chicago Tattoo Arts Convention

    in LST Get Togethers & Tattoo Conventions

    It was interesting, Else. Don't know that I'd get tattooed at a convention, but it was interesting!

    TOO DAMN CROWDED!!!

    I gotta say the people attending worked really hard at being polite, and I didn't see or hear of a single testy exchange. That said, the promoters need to work with the venue to get a little more room. The aisles were just too damn crowded, no way around it. If you stopped to look at something, or to talk to someone, bang-instant traffic jam.

    Ah well. IT was a trip, and I did see quite a bit of interesting work there.

    Some Scary Shit

    in Tattoo After Care

    Posted

    Hey, i got a new tattoo about 3 weeks ago and in the last 2 days it has come out in sore, itchy red bumps on the grey shaded areas only. I have found alot of articles about Mycobacterium Infections being caused by contaminated inks and am now really worried.

    Please excuse the quality of these images as i took them on my phone and dont have another camera available to take them with. The red areas are actually all individual red bumps (they kind of look like red blisters.)

    Does anyone have any experience with this or any idea what it could be?

    Thanks

    Looks like a serious case of over-lotion. Let that thing dry out completely and see where it goes. Pretty doubtful you've got a bizarre infection, but hey-it could hapen! If it really worries you, go to a dermatologist.
