yep, a beavis and butthead one, no less. still, it had been stained from when i wore it to get my first tattoo a little while back anyway.

I saw that on IG yesterday. AWESOME!!! Did he do that in one sitting?

went from the attached picture, to the the picture in my earlier post in pretty much two hours.

bert krak did a really great one. it's on his myspace.

this place closed down a few years ago, but was open since the 70's (i think).. i always used to walk past it and think it looked pretty cool -

BBC News - Tattoo Club of Great Britain's 'home kit' warning

the Tattoo Club Of Great Britain is about 10 minutes down the road from the place in the video.

the T.C.O.G.B. is where Curly works, if you've ever read an interview with Thomas Hooper, you'll have (probably) seen him say how much he likes Curly's tattoos (in that i've seen him mention him in two different interviews).

i presume the guy in the video is 'big lee'.. here's a gallery :confused:

Man charged over unlicenced tattoo party | Glasgow and West | STV News

A man has been charged with tattooing without a licence at a so-called "tattoo party" in the Falkirk area.

The 51-year-old was detained after a member of the public alerted police about the event.

Earlier in the week, Central Scotland police had issued a warning over unlicensed tattooists operating out of the area.

The force was particularly concerned about people under the age of 18 getting inked illegally after a nine-year-old child was tattooed at a party.

Current laws only allow for under-18s to receive a tattoo to indicate a medical condition such as a chronic illness or allergy.

However in this case police confirmed the person being operated on was over 18.

Dr Henry Prempeh, NHS Forth Valley public health consultant, warned of the health risks of receiving a tattoo in an unlicensed environment.

He said: "Getting a tattoo can lead to serious infection if it is not done with clean equipment and under safe conditions by a properly trained tattoo artist. The risks increase significantly if tattooing is carried out in premises that are not fit for purpose and regularly maintained such as a licensed tattoo parlour.

"Typical symptoms of a local bacterial infection are redness, swelling, warmth and pain. In some individuals these infections may become complicated and pose a serious threat to health.

"The use of inadequately sterilised equipment or contaminated pigments can also result in blood borne infections, such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV, which are spread by infected blood entering another person's bloodstream."

A Central Scotland Police spokeswoman said: "We thank members of the public for coming forward and we encourage anyone with information on unlicensed tattooists or the tattooing of those under 18 years old to contact the police on 01786 456000 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."

A report is being submitted to the procurator fiscal.

sweet ink, brah. clearly ed hardy is the one who 'sucks' :rolleyes:

What in Christ's name is wrong with that young man's hair?

willing to fly to London if Valerie Vargas gets an opening.

did you know Valerie will be in New York next year?

King’s Avenue NYC guestspot April 2012 @ Valerie Vargas

i've tried 'helping' people in the past.. i no longer bother, as it goes in one ear and out the other.

take screen shots of your previous emails and send them to him?

Jax is about 4 hours away and I dont know that I am willing to go that far just for the tattoo. Again, my budget is small. I guess if we were going up that way for something else and I made it part of the trip it would work.

i feel i'm probably wasting my time in saying this, but that's not the right attitude.. do you need to get tattooed right at this very time? no.

if you like Mike Wilson, and think he'd do the best job on whatever you want to get tattooed (which i'm sure he would), then i'd suggest saving for however long it takes.

a little bit further up this page..

i'm sure Jade could answer for himself.. but i just had a look, and it's available on amazon.co.uk

it may not be a popular opinion, but i really don't like those kind of tattoos on the first page.. stuff like that is usually the bottom end of poorly done 'neo-traditional'.

the attached picture by chad koeplinger is great.. i guess it helps it's done well, and is tasteful.
