Welcome to the forum!

No need to be starstruck though.....they are all just people trying to do their art and pay their bills is all!

;)

Here are two Dave Gibson gave to me....

Hahahaa You've got a couple of fox "Widowmakers" there.

Just doing my best to uphold the American "stereotype" is all.....he he he

One Shot....One Kill! ;)

This photo is actually about 4 years old but I couldn't find a photo of my PINK ruger 10/22 rifle.....lmao

I go saturday to get this finished and to set up another appointment for Hunter. I am looking for some ideas to fill the blank spot to the right of the Koi's head. Are there any ideas anyone could throw out to help me get started putting something togethor. Maybe a lotus?

Thanks all!

I say ask Hunter.....and let him do his thing!

;)

Is that .22 rimfire?

Police authorities in the UK won't allow .22 rimfire as it is not considered powerful enough to get the job done. Most centrefire .22 is ok though.

You all need one of these if you want to make sure the fox is gone!

I tend to go back and look through the older threads from time to time and i saw this one and was surprised I hadn't posted in it originally!

I too have gotten a few tattoos from acetates over the years!

Good score by Perez!

I picked up a couple that Tony Polito was letting go!

Just wanted to bring this thread back from it's grave because it is a pretty nice collection....and because I do collect acetates as well! :)

this is so awesome......sounds exactly how i do these trips to get work done.....I never leave enough time to really fully enjoy the trip other than the actually hanging out at the shop thing!

Sounds like you planned it all well and are getting it all done!

Enjoy LA.........I am just seeing this or we might have taken a ride up to Brooklyn! :(

I think it always helps to let people know a little bit about yourself in your profile info too.........just a suggestion!

Hunter does very nice work....I have a piece by him as well!

Tony P on the BBC . Thanks Jade1955 .

BBC News - Legendary tattoo artist still inking aged 77

When I was getting tattooed by Mike Perfetto and Tony came in to visit me.....Mike was telling me how the BBC had done the research and found that Mike's shop was the oldest shop still in operation in NYC! Mike told them that he was honored that they would come to him looking for "history" but they really needed to include Tony Polito in their "documentary" (of sorts)......so tony came down and you can see the outcome in the link.....Tony tattooed Mike Perfetto.....fucking awesome!!!

Thank you for posting this up!!!

I will pass it on to Tony on FB.....

:)

Yeah....Seth is really a bad example to try to use....and agreed a very random name to throw out!

I am sure the guys on the Read Street Forum would love to answer that question for you though!

And the answer is yes.....seth has been tattooing on occasion....I have gotten two from him in the last couple years! ;)

dude i'm talking about tattoos...

I don't know Jenn....I got a little excited there with you talking about lube and poking and penetration....and......

I am gonna excuse my self from the convo for a few minutes..... ;)

he he he

So....is Easyrider considered porn?

Just curious?

I can't remember a shop 15 years and back I didn't see an Easyrider mag laying around in!

And most of the new tattoo mags are as good as soft porn....mostly girls half naked all up on each other with 2 or 3 tattoos....lol

My bad, tryin to delete mine.

I don't think you went too far and said anything you shouldn't have @hawk ...... I personally was just reminding just in case someone else chimed in and wasn't thinking!

:)

Now if I had a shop then I would just buy a donkey and paint it up like a zebra....then it would make the female clients happy and be safe for kids!

Everyone gets a ride!!!

And it's an alternate source of income!

:)

P.s. --- Kids should be exposed to tattoos and the process earlier in life! I personally see no problem with that and think that it may aid in them understanding that it's okay for people to be different from each other!

Of course I do understand this is on a shop by shop case......and you shouldn't just show up with a kid to be tattooed without asking the artist AND shop owner!

I think the newer female client base that has been brought up on "Ink" shows has a perception now of what a tattoo shop should be like based on television and anything raunchier than playboy would probably turn them off!

Would that matter to me.....hell no!

But why give any client a reason not to come into your shop?

I thought about riding up....but I am planning trips to Georgia and Ohio so I am gonna have to pass this year!

Tony Polito is gonna be there for a little while (not tattooing) just checking it all out with Richie & Mary Montgomery!

If you see him tell him Bunny says hi!

Have a great time though everyone!

:)

Talked about the unicorn thing a few weeks ago at Philadelphia Eddie's with someone who put a lot of them on guys back in the 70's.......those and cartoon characters were some of the most popular tattoos!

Anything can be made to look less feminine if you have the right artist doing the job and you tell them your concerns!

Here is my hummingbird by Eric Gregory....i don't think it is feminine at all to be honest!

Welcome to the forum!

:)

I don't tattoo......and with respect to those who do.....I want to remind people this is a public forum!

:)

Thanks for posting that @Iwar

@Jason Lambert wrote a piece about his views on conventions on his blog today:

Defying (the) Convention « Tattoozen

I spent a little time with Jason & Cara at the convention and Jason pretty much summed it all up very nicely!

Well.....I went to the baltimore convention!

Friday night it was nice to just see friends but I still missed seeing a few that i didn't know were going to be there so......I went back on Sunday! It didn't seem too busy to me......

If I hadn't wanted to get tattooed by John Black.....I probably wouldn't have gone back down though!

And maybe it is I've changed and not the conventions.....but i think it may just be both have changed!

I'm sorry to hear about your loss!

Sucks when this shit happens!!!
