I keep coming to this thread, writing a post, then... I end up not posting it, and maybe that's a good thing, because sometime shit happens when it happens, and it's good that way... So. . .
I feel like a ping pong ball sometimes all the running around we do, and I know if there is anything I constantly get surprised by, it's the new tattooers I meet, and the level of skill, maturity, humility, and manners in them that makes me admire them, and really get into their "vibe"... And the lesser knowns, that fucking rule this craft, and keep it on a level that I will never get tired of being involved with and around... The new and unknowns keep the blood pumping and the fresh ideas circulating, maybe not inventively, but in a design or fashion trend way...

It's usually the squeaky wheel always getting the lube in a shop, but these dudes are the wheels that just keep rolling, no matter how hard things get... And they all take this stuff seriously, but manage to keep it fun at the same time. My heros of the moment.

I think the back piece is really one of my favorite things when it comes to meeting other people with lots of coverage...
My tattoos on my back are my favorite, and it just sucks I can't see em... but that's what a photo is for right, so here goes...
Top Chrysanthemums were by Casey Corklic Garland, TX, and the Jigoku Dayu was done by Doug Love, Santa Cruz, CA..
And of Course, theres a cover up or two. . .

Both Richard and I have appointments to get tattooed after the SFO show by Jondix. . . Super stoked...

I like to imagine that Valerie and Stewart sit around sipping Earl Grey, sketching horses while (ok, whilst) old episodes of The Young Ones play in the background.

So, I feel a little bad about having only shown old Trevor McStay work as I'd forgotten about that thing called Myspace? So here is an update :cool:






These aren't exactly back pieces... but who really cares in this instance?

I hate to be up front but from what you wrote here and in a couple of other posts, I gather you haven't really been around tattooing much. I hate to be frank but if you don't like getting tattooed you don't like tattoos. There are too many people who get into tattooing as an escape to their job they have or some sort of midlife crisis rock star thing, but don't understand what people put into this craft in order to be good and how many people are half assin it out there. I knew right off the bat I would not be a tattooer not because I don't want to be, but plain and simple there are too many people doing it and I could never do it as well as the people who have mastered it. I have managed to find a way to be part of tattooing without tattooing by working at a shop and getting tattooed by great artists, I would suggest you do the same.

Richard doesn't like horses at all really, but they do make pretty images, designs, paintings... These are from a while back, but you get the point...

There can't be a pinup thread without something from my home girl Lina Stigsson! :cool:




There are more on her website:

just to play devils advocate... what about ny adorned. that shop is owned by a non tattooer and i cant see anyone saying anything bad about that shop.
ive been tattooing going on 14 years this summer and ive worked with/for some of the biggest douche bags on the planet. it unfortunate to say that a lot of the purity in our industry is gone and this is one of the many results of it
at the end of the day it is what it is, isnt it :/

I was about to say "How can there be no Judd Ripley in this thread?" and then saw that Perez had posted something awhile ago ;) so here is a bit more
Judd Ripley

Another from Miss Stigsson

Can't believe this thread isn't blowing up yet... Oh, I'll write myself a note to go through photos and pull a bunch of stuff to post...
