hey everybody we have been coming out of pocket on this site it actually cost money and a ton of time to run. so i would like to introduce you to the donate button down at the bottom right. feel free to use it if you like. thanks

the problem is in my opinion is that just because there are more and more tattooers everyday the ratio of hard working creative and original ones are falling off.. part of self promotion is you have to make yourself and your work public. if not no one outside your town would really get to know your work. its obvious valerie is an amazing tattooer, with that comes all the no tallent as clowns who rip everyones shit off. i think its sad that people arent just willing to sit down and learn to draw a girl head with an animal head of their choice. instead to rip it off. then there is the part of a customer wants the exact thing. fine . try to steer them away but if they are persistant dont fucking publish it on the internet.... i love how people are called out on it...

Sorry about the hassle. It really is only in place for new users, once you've made a few more posts (not sure how many) they won't need to be approved. But the messages would be under notifications on the top right of the page next to your name, but it wouldn't show if you had anything pending. Thanks for signing up for LST, though. And thanks for clearing up that you weren't a troll from the gate.

PLEASE Bubbleberry change your avatar please man, that shit is definately NSFW, thanks for gay ass every time I see you on here.

Cheers

Is that really what they're saying?

A bunch of tattooers went shark diving for 5 days 2 years ago. Oliver brought some tattoo equiptment, and we all tattooed sharks on each other while the boat was rocking all over the place, and then we all got in wet suits the next day and soaked them in the ocean. The one I did on Oliver got so infected that it's no longer recognizable as a shark. I'll try to find a picture of it.

bob baxter is a failed banjo player who happens to look just like angela landsberry from murder she wrote and is a total uncle tom of tattooing.oh and mario barth blows too.

what the hell are you people talking about? fuck i am clueless.

lay of the chrome virgin mary woman...it was the 90s and eddy did it.

no tattoos.....no love.......fuck you in the face for thinking you can tattoo and not be tattooed, the trade involves a commitment a dedication to the craft. if you dont respect it or like it enough to get the product you produce on you then you are a parasite.....''robbing from the host." i think that would be the definition. as for boris i have no interest in what he has to offer. has anyone seen how many ink caps that guy uses. how many fucking shades of skin tone can you need? or does that weird rotary you take the tips of not blend a color. christ!!!!!!!

that settles it im making all the guys at the shop dress like they work at in and out burger, white paper hats and all.............................................dude get a new job. for the record i wear a pair of levis or bens red wings and what ever shirt is the first one on the pile, thats how i work best. not really a fashion plate over here..

your an ass to give it away and a bigger ass thinking you deserve it, stewert is right we are just borrowing it. and that painting sucks, as it should its your second one. by the 250th one you will have somthing to hold up for public opinion. not trying to be dick just love where this thread has gone.

all i can say is thank you....for reminding me how awesome this job is..and for bringin your a-game with these videos, the cholo don knotts cracked me up. then came the knit tie stage....wow.

christ i owned it.i also lived up stairs was a hell of a comute. was one of the craziest and best times of my life, one that could never be duplicated. that shop had a bathroom where the ceiling was 6 foot so if you were tall you had to bend over to piss, the whole shop was like 6 foot 7 maybe..what a shit hole. rent was 400$ cant beat that with a big stick.

my first tattoo shop was when aaron cain worked at miller cottons in monterey when we were still in highschool, i went to get my first tattoo touched up from him.the place was pure shit. he had stollen the pipe and drape from some convention hall and used that to seperate the waiting room from the work area. he worked off of desks from a motel that he got for free. class act.

that philip body suit dragon is on richard pinch who is the guy that makes philips tubes. anyway that thing has some rediculous amount of cover ups in it,i have seen it in person and im not jocking when i say they go completely un noticed. it explains that there is no skin in the dragon body but god damn.

there is a boxing gym adrian spit boy told me about that was cheap as fuck, i thought uot by fruitvale/diamomd district that wasn't suppose to be full of yuppies and the kind. i knd try to find out what it was called. well next time i see her at berkeley bowl.

just for the recored devo crack that wip BETTER be played at mine..dare you not to laugh..

at our shop i work with 5 other assholes who think they are the only one with good musical taste and your just a dick for playing anything, so lets say it gets tricky..we listen to an ass load of sabath which i use to love. a bunch of shit like tom petty, zep,van halen,high on fire, sleep, waylon, if it was up to me i would listen to a combo of sleep and country that would be the perfect mix. i agree leatherface is amazing. i love oi and older punk/hard core not the shit when everyone heard slayer for the first time that can blow me. all of the crap about music at our shop and how some people take what you want to hear as a personal attack has led to" music free mondays"..where im the only boss that works and you, meaning the co workers can play what ever the fuck they want. smiths, dance hall, rap, whatever it rules..when customers complain, if its not black metal playing cuz i dont know why any one would want to get tattooed to that unless your trying to find a spine to sit good? if its not that i tell them they get a pick when they pay the rent, or i give them "oh you didnt pick this? wierd?" they usually get it.

i do however think that customers should NEVER be offended as in nigger or faggot crap, they are paying me for god sake they shoildnt be miss treated by there suroundings,oh and yes i like the smiths just hate the fans....so sensitive.haha

32 fucking years wow...too bad you cant remember the name you could get that shit tattooed on you. congrats we are all better for people like you doing this shit right. thanks for being you and doing tattoos.

hi there. i'm wondering if anyone can recommend some shops in Rome or Venice, Italy. I'll be travelling there soon and would like to be tattooed. I've been tattooed by Eric Jones, Sid Stankovits, Jef Whitehead, Scott Campbell and Mutsuo (Three Tides, Osaka) for reference to style, etc. anybody got something for me? - thanks,

- jeff

beppe works in verona which isn't far from venice he has a shop called ink addiction he rules on many levels and is a great tattooer and has the craziest looking tattoo shop you will ever see. worth the trip.

i worked at inksmith and rodgers and those fucks watch tv...mike said thats how he knew how long it took by how many shows were on. i however kept looking at the tv while i tattooed. not the greatest idea, im sure its good for the customers but i think my full attention is more important for them.i have the big butt book in my station which i fully recomend to any one and i meeeen anyone this should be considered religous text. anyways when my customers look at it i cant stop looking over their shoulders. we listen to music which we all fight about cuz honestly we are assholes with voices.

has any one watched that movie bronson? fucking awsome sort clock work orange meets fight club. awesome

I was 14 and my mom chased me through the house trying to stab me with a pair of scissors. Ha-ha lets say it didn't go well.
