It's our job as tattooist to be knowledgable about what will hold up over a longer period of time. When someone comes into the shop to get tattooed it's not for today or tomorrow or next year. IT'S FOR THIER LIFE... If I saw a tattoo 5 yrs down the road that looked like shit because I put way to much detail in and it didn't hold up. I would be disapointed with myself and change the way I look at what I've been doing. Both articals make very good points, and Dan feels like that for a reason. It's cuz hes seen his tats 8 yrs down the road and hes not happy with the outcome. We need to learn from others experiences to elevate the industry as a whole

8. Thou shalt not get a Juggalo tattoo unless done from the Hatchet Man flash at Smith Street.

This has been doing the rounds for a few years now.
It's still funny as fuck.
Each time one of us at the shop does a Hendrix or Marley tattoo, someone else dares them to put the other's name.

Honestly it's so true. Theres this guy in E Boston who tats outta the house near my shop and he does EVERYTHING right in the skin with NO stencil or marker drawing. He has a pic of some old english on someones chest. It's horrifcally crooked. He even made his own style "primitive style" he does ALL the shading with a liner!! LOL it's so bad, but 100 dollar sleeves aren't!!! LMAO! Paul Mucci check him out... You might wanna set up an appointment lol! ^___^

I know!! when its slow @ the shop sometimes we check out whats new just for shits n giggles. Def good for a laugh! Someone I work with posted "whys be that sock on that bible" under a faux name hahahahahaha!!

First off it should only be referenced to as squid appendages. I got a squid shirt and some squid pants started but only after the tatty zap gun finishes inkin me bro.
All joking aside, I use the term (even though I hate it) for lack of a better word to most people, but never refer to anything less than a "sleeve". Half, quarter, third-pounder, all sound like shit.
