@gougetheeyes when Les passed away, his son Danny kept the club going, i believe. and after his passing, it's now run by Jimmie (Les' grandson, Danny's son).. i just looked back through some posts on Jimmie's Facebook, someone asked about if anyone can join.. here's what he said - "it use to be anyone with a chest or back piece or over £ 5 pounds worgth of tattoos could join the club mate now days yes most people can join tattooist an fans mate theres no secret handshakes or teaching how to tattoo mate its just a club that my grandfather ran i continue to run it to keep his name alive".

I bought these shoes online from Greenspan's, they're too small.. i think they'd probably fit a mens (UK size) 11.. i'm a 12 and they're uncomfortably tight. All i'm asking is £10 to cover the delivery cost.. they'll come in the box (as pictured).. i've only worn them twice - in my house (just briefly trying them on).. Only PM me if you're in the U.K. or the postage will be too much.

Are any LST members also members of the Bristol Tattoo Club? I recently joined, and with Jimmie Skuse's permission, here's the details on how to join if you're interested.

hey, sorry, should have posted that it's already been sold.

the post (about this guy and his fake machines) was deleted for some reason.. although maybe you could get in contact with the person/people who run the page to let them know where he is and that he's still doing it.

I have the exact same problem. Having to go in both arms several times.. near enough passed out last time.

yeah, there's a 'Franklin Paul Rogers' group/page on Facebook, and there was a large discussion about this guy and how what he's selling are fakes.

Just out of interest, where did you see them? (i'm from Oxford). & Here's a link to some flash, from the Motor City Tattoo Museum - Vintage Flash motor city tattoo museum tattoo museum tattoo history history of tattooing vintage tattoo tattoo machines vintage tattoo machines Dano Collins Old School Tattoo Traditional tattoo and the site it's self - enter page motor city tattoo museum tattoo museum tattoo history history of tattooing vintage tattoo tattoo machines vintage tattoo machines Dano Collins Old School Tattoo Traditional tattoo

i asked Paul Sayce's permission to post this here.. there are some great pictures.. - https://www.facebook.com/pages/Tattoo-Club-Of-Great-Britain/121932417869208?sk=photos https://www.facebook.com/pages/Tattoo-Club-Of-Great-Britain/121932417869208 i'd encourage you to click on 'about' and then 'see more'.. for some information. Also the Tattoo Club of Great Britain/Lionel's Tattoo Studio is where Curly works. Lionel's collection used to be on display as the British Tattoo History Museum, and can be seen at the London convention. If you go down to the 'Photos of Tattoo Club Of Great Britain', and starting on the third row from the bottom, starting with the sheet with the death before dishonour, you can see some of the old English flash.

i was in this band (playing drums), but we stopped playing about three years ago. we did ok towards the end of it - had something put out on a label, played all over the country with some good bands - brant bjork and the bros, witch, coliseum.. this video was about two years or so before we stopped playing.. we were all 18 or 19 in it - here's some other stuff i made last year.. i didn't know how to play keyboard/organ/piano before i recorded, or how to use a drum machine.. but i tried to figure it out as i went along. - GREEFF | Free Music, Tour Dates, Photos, Videos

before i sold almost all of it, i had some nice fuzz pedals - D*A*M Meathead, Creepy Fingers Creepy Face, Shin-E Companion fy-2, Foxx Tonemachine, Sovtek/EHX Russian Big Muff, and some others. I had a Matamp Minimat which i really regret selling. An oldish Orange 30watt valve combo (which i got after i sold the Minimat). A Les Paul Black Beauty. An Ovation Ultra GP copy. An Ampeg Dan Armstrong (the wood one, rather than the clear one). And... some other stuff.. now all i have is a P-Bass, an old Laney bass head & a cab.

Hadn't seen a thread for this?.. saw the page yesterday on facebook, can't wait to see it - https://www.facebook.com/TattooNationMovie "New Feature Documentary Film, Coming October 2012 Tattoos used to be a sign of rebellion. A middle finger salute to the rest of the world. Outlaw bikers got tattoos. Sailors on leave in Singapore got tattoos. Lifers in the joint got tattoos. Now, your mother’s got a butterfly on her ankle and your kid’s sporting a tramp stamp. What happened? How did tattoos go from the renegade, readymade, carney cartoons inked as fast as possible to the art form they’ve become today? That transformation is the subject of the new documentary film, TATTOO NATION. TATTOO NATION tells how a few incarcerated but very talented Chicano artists changed the world of ink forever. It follows three tattoo pioneers, Charlie Cartwright, Jack Rudy and Freddy Negrete, and shows how a new, fine line style using detail and shading to achieve a remarkable realism revolutionized the world of ink. In 1975, Cartwright and Rudy boldly opened the first tattoo parlor in the heart of East LA’s Chicano community. They hired a recently paroled teenager who, while in jail, unknowingly established iconic images that spoke to an entire generation of Chicanos. Freddy Negrete became the first professional Chicano artist employed by a mainstream tattoo parlor - a tattoo parlor that was embraced as a new vehicle for self-expression by the Chicano community in East Los Angeles. For the first time, these legendary figures tell their stories in a feature-length documentary film. Included are other important figures such as David Oropeza and “Chuco” Caballero, winners of many prestigious tattoo competitions. Their victories brought international recognition to the uniquely American approach known as “Black & Grey”. The world of tattoo, and the way we regard tattoo, was forever changed."

the amsterdam tattoo museum are selling a book of only mum/mother, etc, flash for a very reasonable price.. available on their website.

it's available from a number of places, it just costs quite a bit. i found it somewhere for something like €21 about a month ago (somewhere around or under $30 probably) but they only shipped within germany.

it says on facebook that Timothy's email address is - [email protected]

"It is pretty when you hide beauty. Japanese put the loveliest designs on the inside of our clothing so that it can only be peeked at, not stared at. Similarly, I only allow photos of my own body as I am proud — as a tattooist — to show my work. If I were not in this line of work, I would never show them to anyone, except my family and buddies who also have tattoos." - Horiyoshi III.

saw this on TV last night (14:14) - i know it's literally 2 seconds, not a documentary.. but i thought i'd post it anyway. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6FqqQbg4Zc

i've just recently been re-watching some of the videos.. does anyone know what the book at 9:34 is? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmurqPrp4m0&feature=related

SOCIAL SECURITY - British Pathé
