SkateboardingManiac

Looks very nice!

Hello from montreal!

Thanks dude!

No problem, and I'd also recommend watching the artist interview videos on this site, Vice's Tattoo Age series, and the Gypsy Gentleman videos because they'll give you insight into the people making tattoos, and there are some great tattoos and great stories in them.

I do watch Tattoo Age :)

Man, if I'd found this place when I was a teenager...(if it had even existed)...I'd have the most freakin' awesome tattoos EVER. But I'd prob be out of space. Wait....my tattoos rule!! Take that, teen Val! But really...I found LST two years ago; and my tattoo knowledge has increased exponentially - much more than the previous decade. But that hard won knowledge from the previous decade set me up to really appreciate what I was looking at and the incredible resource that is LST. So @SkateboardingManiac - listen to @Graeme and watch those shows. Read the forum, immerse yourself in the art and soul of tattoo - and then, when it's time, get tattooed and be stoked. Woo!

Thank you!

@Graeme thanks for the suggestions!

@MadeIndelible Thanks for the welcoming:) And yeah, I know people who are 13 with a tattoo but they look simply shit.

Thank you Graeme for the advice, I could wait until 18 because that would be the smart choice. What are the best tattoo shops in Montreal?

@BrianH I've talked to some very interesting tattooed people too.

Oh my Brian Andersons tats are sick, Lizard King has some nice tattoos (not much artwork, mostly just random). Bobby Worrest's tattoos are nice also. Yeah, I love going to the skatepark and seeing all the sick skater tattoos that inspire me for my first piece.

Understood, exactly what I want to do. But I just love the art, and the dedication these artists put in to please their clients. I'm the kind of guy that notices everyones tattoos at water parks and amusement parks they just fascinate me.

Hey, my name is Olivier from Montreal, Canada. I'm a skateboarder, and that's my main hobby. Watch a lot of skate videos, I take a close look at my favourite skaters tats, that's where I get my appreciation from. I've really been into tattoos since an early age of 13. I'm 15 now, and hope to gain about 2 years of experience on this website before I get my first tattoo at 17. I have a question, how do I convince my mother about getting tattoos and that people with tattoos aren't bad people.

Thank you!
