From what I understand, copying has always been an issue. In the Hori Smoku documentary, they mentinon that Sailor Jerry sometimes deliberately made mistakes in his flash, to fool copycats into doing them. I recently read in Jon Nordstrøms "Northern Tattooing", that the old timers in Nyhavn often made their flash kinda shitty, with much less details than the actual tattoo for the same reason. The internet wasn't an issue then, but now we have photoshop, so who's to say that an artist couldn't alter a picture of a tattoo a tiny bit before uploading it to instagram... -
Iain Mullen from Imperial Tattoo in Stockholm did the one one the left on me last year. Took about 2 hours.

Just exchange "How to shave your beard like a man" with "How to tattoo without an apprenticeship" One of you pros out there should make that video. Seriously.

Like any other situation: use your brain. Observe whats happening and act accordingly. Wash and rewrap until it doesn't throw any more ink.

@Johannes Is it the one called "The Life & Times: August Bernard Coleman"? I'll start of by ordering that one, then. Just e-mailed Book Mistress and asked for any info on a more comprehensive title on Coleman. I'll post when if that leads to anything.

@gougetheeyes Thanks a lot - I'll go check it out! @ChrisvK Thanks, buddy!

I've been studying the oldtimers for a while, and for now, my favourite is Coleman. I'd like to study his work some more. Can't seem to find any books dedicated to him, though. There has to be something out there, I'm sure! Anyone here, who can recommend me some titles? It would be awesome if they at least has a decent amount of flash by Coleman in them. Cheers

Me and my girl went to Riga in Latvia this summer, and that was INSANE! Everyone stared like crazy - some even stopped and pointed at me. I wore a sailors cap, so I can't for the life of me figure out, wether it was because of the tattoos, or my resemblance to Lenin (guess they're not that fond of him). I thought it was hillarious.
