This tattoo was done on my boss Ross Ferrie by Pinky Yun in 1982. Ross always tells this story of getting this dragon along with many others of Pinky. Pinky basically dipped a toothipick in some black ink gave himself a few reference points and just started tattooing on his arm. Ross admits he wasn't so sure at the time but the end result turned out.
The other photo is Ross and Pinky in 1982 and a painting our friend Ashley did for Ross shortly after Pinky's death. Note Ashley painted this while in New Zealand only from what he remembered it looking like.

Ha ha Gregory is Gregory Peck (neck) .Thats an obscure one so if you can get your gladys knight and the pips round that you must ave been born within the sounds of Bow Bells.

Ask the Bubble Man. He'll know.

It will cost somewhere between the price of a large sandwich and the price of a house.
But seriously, listen to David.
also, that's one of the 10 pictures we see multiple times every day from customers, along with celebrity tattoos and the wonky outline-only tiny swallows.
Let me guess, you don't want it as high up toward your neck, or as low down your arm and a little bit less across the stomach?
I wished all the guys who used to bring this to me would bring Tom of Finland drawings instead. Usually the same motivation but much better designed, drawn and a hell of a lot more fun to tattoo and wear.
The best advice would be to check out guys who specialise in large black tattoos and get them to design something that actually fits your body and works with it instead of this squiggly, ugly crap. - There's a tribal/blackwork thread here on LST somewhere. I know you're not going to read it.

First episode up now!!!
Favorite part - "hey we want our tattoos to look classic- we don't want them to look dated. you know? when somebody comes in and wants like an owl on their chest it's like "why don't you just get a fucking eagle on your chest?""

a friend of mine went to the Brighton convention earlier this year and emailed me this picture of one Valerie Vargas did.. such a great tattoo.
i'll post my panther head by Chad Koeplinger once it's finished.

When Higgs talks its with much emotion and conviction -"spiragraphed symbolic snot " .Nice one Shawn ,thanks mate

kylegrey - i have a staffie too!

Greg Irons ships are some of the best in my opinion .Although this beautifully simple piece by Tokyo Hiro may just take the cake for me .

Its cool you pumped for a rescue dog .Sampson ,our Staff is also ,poor guys just been diagnosed with under active Thyroid,Diabetes and possible Cushings syndrome so we are looking at our rescue center for a girl to keep his spirits up .

Yep, the tattoo is on my leg. And new week there will be another one... he does not mind her tattooing me, saying that fake skin is crap. I gotta be honest, I really had a hard time choosing what I wanted as I needed something easy for her but that I liked. I guess I wanted my arms finished and had forgot about the legs.
It hurt bad in places, especially round the shin as has he kept telling her to push the needle in deeper and deeper..she was holding back trying not to hurt me, he kept telling her to be firmer, I kept squirming in my seat... And off we go again...
Poor girl was a nervous wreck at the end of it and I was GRUMPY !
He is a friend so he wants to see her do well, but he also does not want anyone else being harmed as she learns. He will not let her get a machine, or any other equipment, he made her promise that she only tattoos under his guidance etc etc.
As for the $50.00, as soon as he says she is allowed one it will be our first purchase. I am not sure who is more excited about her carrer path, me or her.

meaning it's the best flash we've probly ever seen!

mario said it best. well better yet rollo did. but technically we are always wearing our uniforms. if we werent, then how come that nice meth head at wal mart at 3 in the mornin asks if we do tats??

Got this a few weeks ago in Chicago from Nick Colella.

I'm waiting for someone to yell "SURPRISE!"

David,
I'd probably make you nuts, I intentionally overuse awesome all day long. It's actually intentional, it's like a personal joke between me and myself, I do know that it drives some people crazy. It's almost like how some people judged and discounted me 25 yrs ago when I got my nose pierced, I know that some people make a judgement about me for saying "that's totally awesome" all day long. Got to keep the haters away somehow. I also like to say hecka. You should try it, just for one day, you might find that you also enjoy the awesome lifestyle.

Wardrobe malfunction?

Ha ha I thought only my wife said "clunge" .
