she's a fraud, not all of those are her own work. I see this kind of behaviour all over the net and even walked into my shop in Port Orchard.. . . people stealing photos from others and passing it off as his or her own work. . . .sometimes not even good photos of good work. . . .I have walked into shops and seen my work taken from magazines in other peoples books. They did not know who I was when I asked about the image. the nerve of some people.

Rib cage is a big deal - and especially for a first. As a long time tattoo artist, I would most likely say no. I have done many rib pieces, and I can say besides a few other spots - top of the foot, underarm, elbow - the ribs hurt. I have a pair of portraits that were done in a 9 hour session - split for dinner, by Bernie Luther in 89 or 90. I have my back done and have sat 9 hours in one session on that - but nothing felt like the ribs, however to play devils advocate - you must get what you want where you want. It just may not be the best place to start imo.

Hi all
in Initiation
My name is Cary Brief, I started tattooing around 1986. Started building machines in 1988. I worked at Bob Oslon's in Chicago for a spell, (thanks Bob RIP), I tattooed in Austria in the late 80's . Opened my first shop about 1991 (Revolutionary tattoo). Eventually opening three others, Powerhouse Tattoo Montclair NJ, Ink-credible Tattoo (montclair NJ - Now Jinx Proof) and Studio Tattoo Morristown NJ . Two of those shops are still running strong (In Montclair NJ). IN 1993 and 1994 I hosted the Ink-credible Tattoo Convention. Hr Giger was our special guest. We had a great time and all but two years of busting our hump for the shows was enough. I tattooed full time in my shops until the mid 1990's when my back went out and required a number or surgeries. Now I tattoo occasionally but build machines full time. I started Rings and Things, INc Body Jewelry in 1993 and we ran a Full CNC shop, also making machine frames and parts until we sold in 2004. I will have a new line of machines out this spring. While I haven't been able to tattoo full time due to my back issues I took to painting and printmaking more - and have really enjoyed these other areas of art making, although tattooing always was, is and will be my first love. I am amazed and at times dismayed at the road tattooing has taken - Tattooing has been down bumpy roads before and will survive.
For TATTOOERS ONLY, what's your biggest pet peeve?

people trying to bargain. I always charge a fair price for a good solid piece of work. ANd the people I have always found trying to bargain are wearing $150 sneakers and name brand everything, but want to save $20 on a lifetime investment
