tattoos make everything look better.

There is beauty in typing, "Well put, @fuckhead."

I would argue that it's not random, Petri.
As for Cleen being in here to defend himself- not that a defense is needed- that's the line you cross when you step into the 'public persona' realm. If you're going to be producing videos about yourself or charging $500/hr, you step away from just being someone who's part of a weird little community (tattooers/tattooed) and try to make yourself into a brand. When that happens.... alls fair.
We're certainly still going to make fun of Ed Hardy clothing (despite loving Ed) even though he's not here to defend himself.
That said, as a social critic I charge $500/hr. Ya'all need to pay up :D

Hello! Here are some prints i had made by rebel reprints. Really high quality 16x20 prints on watercolor paper. Im asking $50 a piece or 90 for the pair shipped. only 13 of each made and 3 sets are gone already. Hit me up if interested. [email protected]

when i lived in ireland, i used to get a lot of hagglers. one of the best things i had heard was to use the question, "how much did those shoes cost? and you're going to wear them for 4 months?" the shoes usually cost more than they were willing to spend on a tattoo for a lifetime.

I work in a small community that is kept fed by a huge military base. Including the shop I work at there are 10 tattoo shops to service the area, 3 of which are reputable shops. The other seven have crappy artists and cheap prices. I'm sorry but I am not going to drop my prices to compete with licensed scratchers, the guys at the other reputable shops all agreed as well. So what happens is we try to send each other business whenever we are overflowing and they do the same. We all focus on doing every tattoo to the best of our ability so that the quality of our work on our worst days still kills the other shops. Whenever we do have someone saying that Joe Blow down the road will do it for cheaper, we refer them to our local wall of shame, it is a cork board that shows pics of tattoos that we have either had to cover or rework, a before and after. It helps to educate the public on what their "good deal" might look like.

I blame the availability of poor equipment.Anyone who has ever been told they drew a good picture picking up machines and setting up shop in their homes.
The shop I work at is in the ghetto and there's a lot of "my dude do it for fifty'' Most of the time we tell them to beat it, except around the holidays when its dead. Ha.
No we tell them to beat then too.

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??
