  1. I think I've mentioned this before, but I heard from an artist on Season two about how heavily edited they were. You shoot tons of footage and use the best of the worst to 'create a show' that has 'villains' and drama and tension. You're also coached on things to say. You look like a giant ass on tv, but... after the show airs... you find your appointment book is a little fuller, even though you looked like a giant ass on tv.

    Turning a culture into a commodity isn't new, its just affecting us a little closer to the chest because... well.. it's us. We had to bleed for these damned things. We had to get stared at in line at the bank. We have to answer the litany of dumb questions on a daily basis... "why yes ma'am, it did hurt" and "yes, I AM tattooed other places... wait, we mean my dick, right?"...

    Im kind of biased though... I grew up on Royboy videos. Tattooers hated them, too, but.... damn they were fun.

    I should mention that a tattooer friend asked me to write some Inkmaster erotic fan fiction that he's going to illustrate and we're going to accidentally leave at tattoo conventions the 'stars' are at. If he ever finishes the first chapter I'll write more.

    Kay Kutta and Sarah Miller are in it. "Penetrated by more than your needles" comes up a lot. Because we think it's ok to make fun of people we don't know. People who may be genuinely nice. Because we're children. :D

    you had me at "Penetrated by more than your needles"

    Im not sure if I mentioned this, but I had an email conversation with a producer about my contempt for the show, and despite him trying to be very PR conscious... mentioned that he 'personally wouldn't get tattooed by' one of the Judges... based on him thinking that their work wasn't good enough.

    i'm gonna guess that it has to be oliver peck, only because i feel like japanese tattoos are more main stream than traditional american.

  2. @Our Endless Days It's not very pleasant.

    Probably because it goes right across the area near your kidneys. Even a soft touch with the hand and there is a natural tendency to pull away and flinch.

    Towards the end I was feeling a burning sensation.

    When we were all done Emiliano, one of the other tattooers at Frith St, cracked open a bottle of JD Honey and we all had a slug. That was pretty cool

    Can't wait to see that one. Aaron Coleman turns out some amazing work

    My of my favourites one is that popeye tattoo.

    haha that's awesome you got to do a shot with them. Never had JD Honey. Any good?

  3. Normally I would agree with you, but I didn't get the impression he was here for the right reasons. To be honest I think he wanted the ladies to swoon, and the guys to compliment his "sick ink." When he didn't get that reaction, he was upset.

    I think he was a quantity over quality guy who wanted to get tattooed because it's cool, and the chicks will dig him. I might be wrong, but I doubt it.

    those poses were some straight up lame ass shit in those pictures. he was totally digging for people cool points. as reverend said, this dude coems off as someone into tattoos not because they genuinely appreciate the art and craft, but because it's the cool thing to do.
