Your a brave man getting all that work on the same leg.But damn,you have some excellent work to show for it.That grime skull is amazing.

What artists are you shooting for for the NYC trip?

This is the best forum for discussing tattoos that I've ever been on.I know your a busy man,but i would like to see more participation from you on the forum.I think you,and some of the other artists add credibility to the site.

Dan is a great storyteller...He makes you feel like you were right there with him in that shop.Makes me wish i was a tattooer back then.

Very good interview..I just wish there was a picture of him,he's just so cute.

Yeah,I'm interested.I'm a big fat pirate,and i wan't to get a carnival culture image of a freaky lady with one leg,three titties,and two vagina's.And i wan't a world famous artist to do it.

I remember ITA did a profile on him like 10yrs.ago,and i really liked the way he blended realism with asian work.In the interview he said he was going to do some guest spot's in the New York area.I called him up to inquire about when he would be visiting,and about possibly getting tattooed.But after talking with him,i was turned off by him.He wanted to know what artists tattooed me.And he said you know i only do big pieces.I felt like he was interviewing me to see if i was good enough to be tattooed by him.But after watching the video,i have to say it was probably my favorite interview so far.It seems like he's a different person than the dude i talked with awhile ago.

I watched the first show last week,and was disappointed.I guess i thought this show was somehow going to be different than the other's.It seems like there's going to be A lot of drama,and bad acting.It's a shame TLC doesn't realize the majority of people watching these show's wan't less drama,and more good tattoos being showcased.I think your percentage of 8 out of 10 tattooers who would wan't to be on these show's is off.If it was more focused on documenting good tattooing than making it into a soap opera,then i would agree with you.Then again,i don't know how much these artists are getting paid...Maybe that would up the percentage of artists willing to participate.To the question are tattoos to mainstream.I was in SD last week on Garnett Ave,and there was like 7 tattoo shops in like a 1 mile radius.I also took a ride to Julian,CA which is a an hour east of SD in the mountains,and is like a block long,and there was a tattoo shop there.
