Still not working. I will try to load one in here.

Yep tried again, to no avail. After I hit proceed it brings me to my photos. Except the new ones aren't loaded. Tried one at a time and also multiples.

Not sure if it's just me? I couldn't upload pics. I tried on two separate occasions. It initially uploaded them, except they never actually showed up in my pictures section. Not sure what happened?

Having magazines with somewhat tasteful nudes is not a problem. Having gaping holes and chicks being sprayed with cum out in public is low class. Those mags are made for private viewing. Yeah I judge people. So what. Anyway, I have nothing against porn. But a smart business man/woman wouldn't have such red flags out in the open for "just anybody" to see. My 2 cents. I mean if you have hustler in your lobby, chances are some creep is gonna jagoff in your bathroom. You think they won't? Think again. You wanna clean that up? Most shops get playboy delivered free these days. We keep them in the office. They would just get stolen anyway.

Ha ha. Thanks folks. The position was filled a couple of weeks ago. By an experienced tattooer.

Tatu Tattoo is looking to fill a position at the end of May. Not looking for apprentices, drama queens, lazy asses, junkies, or anything else that is shady. Would prefer somebody with 3 yrs shop experience. Tatu Tattoo is a hustle and bustle street shop, where walk-ins turn into long time clientle. It is located in the trendy Wicker Park neighborhood. If you think this is a fit for you, come on down, or call the shop. 773 772 8288. You will be asking for Ricardo or Marci.

I just got tattooed there. As an appointment. But people were getting walk ins. If it's small they'll fit you in.

I kinda only like getting tattooed by Fast tattooers. It's efficiency. Take your time with the drawing, then bust that tat out. I personally think it says a lot about a tattooer that can tattoo Good, and fast. It's like Illegal graffiti writers versus permission wall guys. One is working on the fly with the cops possibly breathing down their neck. One is taking his sweet time, looking at his sketchbook. That raw, real shit is always gonna be king in my book. Anyway. haven't seen the show. But I like the time limit thing. It will separate the hustlers from the fartists.

I'll be there with El Brad Mariachi

Fine line Traditional, and American Biker Jap. Because all the cool tat bros that were Old Timey, or Doom metal are now Custom Biker dudes.

More garbage brought in from an iphone. Nothing will change. At least if you work in a street shop.

Yeah, whoever did that has no business doing Japanese stuff. Maybe you can do a giant panther crawling down your arm to cover it all? Different artist though.

I will be loitering around SF and Oakland for a week.

If you're not already? May I suggest getting some tattoos at the Aloha Monkey in Burnsville? Josh Arment.

I hate that PBR is considered hipster. In Chicago most of us grew up with PBR and Old Style. It's what our father's drank. It was Union made, working man's beer.

I still got a box of cassettes. I can't seem to part with them.

That kid probably never even touched a cassette tape.

I can't say I'm into this stuff. However, I think the people doing these tattoos are putting on clean lines and very solid color. It's no worse than some of the other " no outline crap" out there. I didn't even know there was a name for this style.

The bass player Perry is from the Chicago area. and Phil has DJ-ed some Mod skin weekenders here. I don't know why they don't play Chicago. I guess cus it can get pretty goofy at shows here. I saw them once in St. Louis and had to fight a group of Chicago guys to do so. That would explain why they don't come here I guess? But yea they are rad. Not to be a know it all but the original lineup had 2 whiteboys and then Phil. Carl and Phil basically ARE the Templars. The other guys are just players in their show. Carl also has some cool side projects. Stamford Bridge is his current one. It's almost Powerpop. It's pretty good.

So you're drunk listening to the first album? You know the Templars which is an all black skinhead band (though they have been rotating in their third member not black lately) rip their sound from recording to progressions straight off Skrewdriver and have even said Skrewdriver was a great band but their lyrics sucked. How I love every time The Templars play in the Bay Area! The stories and ??? that are just not okay for the internet. Who's been? They are brilliant on and off the stage!! A must listen if you don't know them!

The Templars are not all black. Just the drummer. The on and off again Bass player is mixed race, and the Singer is White. I have 90% of their material collected on vinyl. When I was lucky enough to see them( For some reason they will not perform in Chicago), they also had a second guitarist(who was white). They also have many different influences other than Skrewdriver. They have quite a lot of jangly guitar sounding stuff. Check out this off their first album.

I went last year and had a great time. I hope to go again next year,and possibly even work at it one year.

Did this about 4 years ago.

These were done on South State St. Chicago, circa 1960's. Artists unknown.
