I think the next challenge should be when Oliver Peck tells the contestants to "Build a tattoo machine out of hair dryer parts. You will have one hour to complete this challenge, and it must have three speeds".

i would be willing to donate some cash to help a season 2 happen.

That's because your old mate makes his opinions based on the internet and tv shows, not the real world.
He obviously has never seen Oliver take walk-ins all day and totally nail every single tattoo drawing, regardless of style in less than 15 minutes. Then execute every tattoo, regardless of style, cleanly, quickly and accurately without rock star attitude.
Just to make this clear, Oliver manages to give walk-in customers what they want and make a great tattoo that he can be happy with and other tattooers will appreciate. Think about that for a minute... walk-in customers who don't give a shit who he is... and just want a tattoo they can like.... great tattoos... It's a rare talent among tattooers and even more rare among 'artists' who make tattoos.
Making great tattoos, making customers happy and having a great time while being so fucking cool to everyone else in the room and helping tattooers less experienced than him, yeah, fuck that guy. I'd hate for the guy who does my awesome tattoo to have a toothpick, like ewwww, gross, totally not cool.

you could also get a giant panther.... just sayin!

it crushes me that Al Flictions interpretation of the Pearly Gates was stolen. He had so much RAW TALENT.

I'm totally going out for next season. If for any reason, to help keep people like al and b tat from being on it. Ugh

doesn't look like a tattoo to me. not my thing.

Had this done today on the front of my thigh.
Sailor Jerry design. Tattooed by Stewart Robson, Frith Street, London.

Thoughts on e2:
Ton Jones isn't "heavily tattooed". He's just heavy.
My fiancee's 81yo Jewish Bubbe used to have the same sunglasses that Chriss Angel... errr.. Navarro is wearing on the car challenge.
Peck calling James "hillbilly" was funny.
Al Fliction's glasses are stupid. As stupid as Al Fliction.
I want to see Peck and Nunez tattoo a pig in a 32* meat locker, pinstripe a car and braid Navarro's hair to match Al's goatee.
I want to eat crawdaddies with James at a hoedown.
I can't believe the producers didn't have a backup for psoriasis guy other than two tons of fun.
I feel bad for having watched another episode.

I was going to attempt to watch the first episode, and recoiled at the very first time I heard that. 10 seconds later, some clown had a braided beard, and I needed to turn it off. There are certain things I have no tolerance for, and braided beards are at the top of my list.

The lettering on Al Fliction's tattoo made me laugh. The entire thing was awful but the lettering really caught my eye in a bad way. I enjoyed seeing the look on his face as they judges told him his work was garbage. Funny that Dave Navarro had a hard on for that tattoo. I was really hoping Oliver would be a little more brutal when judging. Who knows what they cut out I guess.

Oh yeah; when you're comparing Shane O'neil with... B-tat... somewhere someone had to look at their portfolios and say "wow. B-tat's work looks like it was done by an epileptic colorblind koala bear with one eye missing*". The only reason he was allowed on was as a sacrificial lamb.
*With one eye, the colorblind koala wouldn't have any depth perception. Thats why.. .you know... he doesn't have RAW TALENT.
I'm Shawn, and I'm not here to make any friends.
That's my opinion.

I don't have an opinion on this, but I'd like to share a lingering resentment. I was at the Salt Lake City convention a few years ago, and had just gotten a tattoo by the fabulous Mike Wilson. I was trying to read the ingredients on this alledged aftercare product when this shmoozy sales guy proceeded to ask me who did the tattoo, pretend to know who Mike was, and in a very condescending fashion tried to edjumacate on how to heal a tattoo. As far as I could see, this asshole didn't have a single tattoo anywhere on his body. For the rest of the day, I could hear Brad Pitt muttering "Don't condescend to me motherfucker" in my head. Actually, I can still hear it now.

i keep that bandage on overnight if i can. no joke.
then unscented fragrance free curel.
keep it simple

Regardless of the topic, why must every reality show have some douche who says "I didn't come here to make friends".
I'm going to go on a show. I'm going to say "I totally came here to make a bunch of friends, hopefully have sex with someone, and maybe just maybe not look like a big ol' douche on tv."

pre orders should start in the next few weeks. i will be sending out an email to everyone that signed up on Yellow Beak Press about the specific date. first 150 get a limited print. i don't expect them to last long given the amount of interest we have had.
this book took almost a year and a half of research. the biography aspect of it was a huge undertaking. i hope the end result is something milt would have been happy with.

I was fortunate enough to live around the block from 222. I went in there a bunch and was the pesky kid with no money, i bent Juan and Rassier's ear a few times with tales of tattoos i didn't have money to get. They had a pretty good bullshit detector but humored me anyway. I got to watch Paco paint the side of the building and when i was a bike messenger I delivered a heavy ass box of flyers or something from the print shop to 222. Scott was there to receive it and asked me how the hell i road there with that package. I told him I rode it on my bars wedged in between my forearms, and he gave me a $20 tip. It was one of the only tips I ever got while messengering.

i would like to have mike wilson do one of my knees and scott sylvia do the other. The last spot left on my arms is being saved for boltz. i hope all of those can happen in 2012. running out of space.
