I told a co worker of mine that I'm getting a rattlesnake and a skull tattooed on my torso. He said "are you getting a Harley with that tattoo? hurr hurr hurr." From now on when someone at work asks me what I'm getting tattooed, I'm just telling them I'm getting a dead relative tattooed on me.

I like having general idea like "I want an eagle" or "I want a dragon" but that's as far as I go. I like giving the tattooer as much freedom as possible because if I'm seeking them out and traveling to their shop, I trust their abilities and I trust their advice. I wouldn't seek out an artist from a shop across the country just to micro manage every detail. I want their tattoo. Plus, I want them to enjoy doing the tattoo as much as I will enjoy having it. If they tell me "Dude, I was excited to do this thing when I heard what you wanted." That, to me, is exciting and gets me pumped up to get that tattoo. I think the highest compliment I can get on a tattoo I have is the artist that did it saying they love it. That, to me, is the best compliment ever.

I searched around and found no threads about punk music. Well here it is, all things punk rock. Post some new bands on the scene, or some classics. Also any punk tattoos, jackets, vests, mohawks, or anything else related. Sorry in advance if there's another thread like this.

Thought I'd throw this in. I hope no one minds as I've not posted too much on here.
Done by Stewart Robson - Frith Street Tattoo

Can't remember if I posted this here
Sundancer but Valerie Vargas, Frith Street Tattoo

Grez just made this one on me a few hours ago...
I'm in love.

I'll enter this one because I love my eagle. Happy to see her every day, and she has a name :o

well. i did not get my touchups. but i did get a new tattoo which did involve a tear-out:

My pug. Winston. Riding the red rocket. Which was really hilarious. Until I got a call 3/4 of the way through the tattoo that my mother passed away. Shout out to my pal Ollie for working like lightning to finish the tattoo before my ride showed up to go see my family. So some more to add to the arguement that a tattoo is more than just a silly picture on your skin. It's not just about "what" the tattoo is of or the "why"...but the "where" and "when" and "who" of the experience is of equal importance. A colourful timestamp for this lifetime. And now I'm left with a lot of sorrow to deal with, a good laugh and a great tattoo. Laughter is the best medicine. And my Mom really loved my idiot pug. But I think my next tattoo will be little more serious and carry a lot more weight. Peace.

got my second tattoo from claudia de sabe today

needless to say i'm extremely happy with it (and sore)
on the back of my upper arm

My ultimate tattoo crush has got to be Shige because of this warrior back piece he did. It's incredible and I wish it was on my back.
Other tattoo crushes I must be tattooed by include but are not limited to:
-Valerie Vargas because of that punk rock girl she did with the green mohawk. Amazing.
-Jason McCafee
-Uncle Allan
-Gordon Combs
-Mike Bruce
-Chad K
-Grime
-Scott Sylvia
-Grez
-Aaron Bell.

It's how we used to kill panthers and gorillas.. before the internet RUINED TATTOOING.

it is a sexual thing. the dagger symbolizes a penis.
i have a dagger stabbing through a skull and eagle because i love skulls and i fuckin love america.

Hmmm...you know what this thread needs. More thrash.

Aus Rotten will always be one of my favorites. So are these guys.


Here's a favorite from Aus Rotten


And another Texas band, Damage Case

I never see anyone talk about Regulations these days. I was never super into them recorded but they were cool live. I was able to see them a handful of times, including in a tiny Syracuse basement where the singer got freaked out by spiders dropping down from the ceiling.

More old favorites:

What a great thread, thanks! Some old, random favorites:

One of my favorites from Sweden. Had the privilege of seeing them in Madison on tour with Dropdead. There was no stage so people kept getting thrown into the band and the vocalist was getting pretty pissed.

Propagandhi - Showdown
This is an inescapable track from my sophomore year in high school.

And then a band called The Adjustments did a cover of "boys of summer" called "the boise summer" (before any other punk covers, dammit) that was ALWAYS in rotation...I tracked down the CD recently because I couldn't find a digital copy....and after writing that i went ahead and uploaded it to youtube, thankyouverymuch, so here it is.


I should throw some Op Ivy in there to complete my high school set; it's sort of a given.

I'll start with some of the d-beat greats

No pretty much whatever is punk @beez. I'm always looking to hear bands I've never heard before.
