You know what.... TIME shows you either know how to get it done, and you do, or you don't... Oliver is a fast tattooer, he was taught that way. besides a time limit also shows who does stuff out of the comfy zone well and who doesn't...
like the dude that could draw the Fu dog but couldn't tattoo it... I'll watch it, Oliver is family. I'm proud...
side note: pointing out problems with the tattoos educates everyones future clients.... my two cents

So.... We're putting on a show....
April 24-26, 2015 in Downtown Tulsa, OK.... We are still working on the site, and getting artwork done, but....

We're trying really hard to get a well-rounded line-up together, and put on a nice event for not only the artists and vendors, but more importantly to showcase some amazing tattooing to our new home state....
Feel free to message me or shoot an email directly to the show if you or anyone you know is interested in participating, or just attending the event...
Thanks,

Ed Hardy on Richard Stell.... I begged for a picture. Worth it.

Tigers... Richard's to be specific, and I tossed his latest Tiger-Shark in too... He can never get tired of the big cats... I have soo many Pantera Pardus, and Leopard heads, and hyena's... But he always comes back to the tiger.

Some new ones, he's been on a tiger and panther kick lately.... It works. Here's a couple pics of the tiger tattoos he's recently done...

In our household... we like our Battle Royals with cheese and no whine, in one shot... Preferably in one sitting. I'll post a couple pics...
It was his kids first tattoo, one sitting, like 8 hours...

Hardy's? Better question: Why am I even on this shit?

Ed Hardy on Richard Stell.... I begged for a picture. Worth it.

I was thinking, and then Richard confirmed... As far as we know, he got one of the first rose morphs on the back of his thigh, a piece by Ed Hardy, it's a design that he saw that was in a slide show he saw back in 1992... It hung for years in the shop, and no one ever got it... He was "amazed" no one had gotten the piece yet... And they actually didn't call it a morph, the term they first used was, "HYBRID"... It's a Panther-Rose... It can be seen in the book, Tattooing the Invisible Man.
It's one of Richards favorite tattoos.

Well.....
Richard's contract had the same clause in it..... No use of illegal substances, or having them....
Lesson: Either share with everyone, so they all go down too. Or don't get caught.

Thanks for the interest but... people have no problem asking personal questions on the internet huh?
But to be less abrasive:
Soap will be working at Modern Classic in Fulham, London one week each month... then we'll see what happens. There are myriad factors to consider after that but the long-term goal is for him to work full time eventually.
The "status" of Lab Monkey for the coming months is the same as it has been for years - it's open, with Soap and others (currently Adam) doing tattoos.
If Soap sells his existing shop isn't really anyone's business but his own. Same deal if he gives it to unicorns, another tattooer, or simply closes the doors forever. Whatever happens, Soap himself will give appropriate information.
Yes, Lab Monkey is the first shop I did a tattoo in. While I was still struggling to learn, without structured guidance and tattooing out of my house, Soap graciously offered to let me sit in at his place for a week. That was the first time I tattooed people that I didn't already know. I'd been tattooing for about a year at that point. I've tried to return when my schedule allows.
The information we've given about the shop is all that we've had the time to prepare. It's been a hectic 12 months preparing the shop. Especially hectic since the end of August when we got legal access to the premises. There's also been a bunch of conventions, visitors and regular work to do with Frith Street while getting our new space ready. - To answer another frequently asked question: Everybody at Frith Street knew about our shop since the end of 2013. They have all been supportive, interested and helpful with myself, Valerie and our new manager. Especially Naomi and Dante.
It's easy to leave a shop on sour terms. Not so easy to keep it sweet. Sometimes we don't get a choice. So Valerie and I have gone to great lengths to preserve our working and personal relationship with everyone at Frith Street. I will keep my Sunday appointments there for the foreseeable future.
Rest assured, we will make public updates with relevant information in due course, when time allows. Right now, we're concentrating on opening a street-level, regular tattoo shop that's practical and convenient for the people who work there and the people who want to get tattooed there.
Your best bet for reliable info is the shop Instagram, Twitter and website.
Keep 'em peeled!...

You know what.... TIME shows you either know how to get it done, and you do, or you don't... Oliver is a fast tattooer, he was taught that way. besides a time limit also shows who does stuff out of the comfy zone well and who doesn't...
like the dude that could draw the Fu dog but couldn't tattoo it... I'll watch it, Oliver is family. I'm proud...
side note: pointing out problems with the tattoos educates everyones future clients.... my two cents

Ed Hardy on Richard Stell.... I begged for a picture. Worth it.

When we were in NOLA doing a few appointments, an artist, and a good friend of mine let me help her make her mind up, I picked a painting Richard had done in Austin back in January earlier this year, and he finished it up at Inksmith... I wanted to see it tattooed, cause it was pretty incredible, a true Melanistic Panthera Pardus....
I got some good pics of it, after outline and with the spot pattern, and one after the shading and everything was done. I love this tattoo.

that's who's gorilla's we find ourselves repeating...

Ed Hardy on Richard Stell.... I begged for a picture. Worth it.
