Martin T. TRIBBLE Obituary: View Martin TRIBBLE's Obituary by Daily Press

It's funny. They leave out so much. So much of the crazy shit we did when we were 23 years old. The stupid hardcore bands. The stupid drugs. The stupid nights getting shit-faced on the worst malt-liquor. And repeating it every night over a summer when you had a shit job and you weren't worried about anything else. But, I suppose, it really wasn't stupid at all when you were having fun.

I hate to speculate, but it also becomes a bit of a red herring. If you're serious about going through the trouble to get tattooed by him, then etc etc. If not, see this, that is enough of a deterence. You never know. Either way, it's FUCKING Chris Conn!

Man, those must be a lot of "infos."

Chad owns Tattoo Paradise in DC and Maryland.

Then flow on over to Virginia! :P

Oh Baroness, so good! Not to drop names, but kinda, the old Baroness guitar player tattooed me ages ago. Solid dudes. Good old Virginia boys, by way of Savannah, by way of Philadelphia/Brooklyn.

I wish this wasn't slightly ironic now.

I should also mention, Marty was an apprentice for a short time. He put some of the shittiest tattoos on himself, which, if you knew him, was just his style.

He also had some of the oldest Brian Bruno tattoos I had ever seen on his legs. Sigh.

Thanks y'all. Truly truly appreciated. He definitely did. There are a bunch of us here in Virginia who are at a loss.

I lost a friend over the weekend. Marty was brilliant and he was also a mess. He told stories that were almost never true, but he also had a kind and empathetic heart. When he listened to you, you knew he was listening. Not sure why I am posting it here...some sort of memento mori, or epitaph? Not sure, I just wanted to let the world know that I loved my friend.

!!!!!!!!!!! I think I just shit myself.

Yeah, that skull is nuts! Totally doesn't look like a Koeplinger tattoo either, which is so rad to see.

Indeed sir. We're all obsessed with 'em here!

Finally! Get some pics up!

Blah, messed this post up.

Im gonna photoshop "tub girl" into one. You don't have to make that your avatar.

This makes me remember when Consumption Junction was in full effect!

I wasn't jumping off stage fast enough, so I got smacked!

BRIDGE9 BOARD! It's been years!

It reminds me of the time Wes from American Nightmare punched me in the back of the head...with his nub.

Also, in reading this, it make me think of the short-lived FX series Starved. Sigh, these should be my friends.

GAH...I have to wait until July until I can be tattooed again. But, it's with Chris O'Donnell. So I'll wait.

RIP Billy

I've always enjoyed the Philly convention for the things it is, and the things it isn't (ie, THE BEST SHIT SHOW ON EARTH). Richmond Convention is always hit or miss. I like seeing the people I know. I don't like seeing the people I do not know. As they say, things ebb and flow...who knows what things will be like five years from now.

Coleridge said it best:

“The fair breeze blew,

The white foam flew,

And the forrow followed free.

We were the first to ever burst into the silent sea.”

Welcome. Grez is rad!
