Vitiligo is nothing more than loss of pigmentation in one's skin. Tattooing over skin that's lost it's pigment is just like tattooing a very light skinned person. The skin condition will not have an effect on the color pigment you put in via tattoo. The tattoo will probably look better in the long run compared to peoples without vitiligo. People with vitiligo have to stay out of the sun/wear plenty of sunscreen.

Getting rib area tattooed (by Scott) felt like my shit was slow BBQ pork and was getting a big hot fork to scrape it off for pulled pork sandwiches.

i like that lettering on paper or print or whatever. dont care for it in tattoos. for me personally, lettering should be classy and timeless. when im 75 i dont want graffiti or death metal letters on me.

well, before anybody puts in an order, let me know what youd like first.

the first shop i worked at, i was the first person to introduce wearing gloves while scrubbing tubes. yup for real.

that prick knew nothing about cross contamination.

running out of batteries haha awesome

Oh shit!!! Forgot about mike brown!!

And jack Rudy is white?!!!

I can honestly say I was bugged out the first time I heard jack rudys voice. I truly expected some cholo type shit to come out. Instead it was just the voice of some white dude named jack.

Yeah I'm just not into it. I looooove freddys style but don't think this is a good representation of it. But good for him for being able to jobs outside of tattooing!

Plus, yeah that's a lot of dough for a t shirt!

then im glad i aint white.

Ain't nothin worse than seeing a beautiful black and grey portrait tattoo with some dog shit lettering up underneath it

I agree. It's just frosting over crappy cake

I once had this wonderful young lady bake me a dozen cupcakes after I covered up some crap on the back of her neck. They were the most amazing cupcakes I have EVER had in my life. Instead of oil or whatever one uses in delicious cupcakes, she used pudding. They were intense!!!! I occasionally still bug her about them. How this angel only weighs about 103 pounds is beyond me. She will always have a special place in my heart. I believe my heart is located somewhere in my stomach.

yeah i think chris conn what a huuuuge influence on everybody. but you can take it even further than that. outside of tattooing, you can go with Gibson.

just be respectful. yes tips and cupcakes are awfully nice, but thats not what gets me to work on time everyday. just be nice. leave your tuff guy attitude at the door. dont try to impress us, just be nice. if you know some jokes, please share. if some crazy shit happened to you earlier in the week, tell us the story. if you are coming to us because you saw how awesome we did of a job on your friends japanese sleeve, dont be surprised when we are bummed that you want us to do your celtic armband. haha

come in clean and with a good attitude. thats all i can ask for. anything extra is frosting on the cake

ugh i really hate it when people mess with my food.

im a really reserved guy but i may have snapped.

Green street hooligans

Yeah I had to watch that movie again

A guy I work with can do that shut. He is amazing! He drew on of me and had my goatee turning into a scraggily dragon. I'll see if I can find it. I think it's at the shop

maybe i got sick to avoid more of these people.

man that first night was rough!!!!! cold sweats, body aches, non stop body shifting.....

then to top it off, at about 6 in the morning i woke up with the craziest leg cramp ive ever had. i screamed like a little girl for my wife. no joke. it hurt so bad, i thought i was gonna puke and then pass out. ugh

SOA, Dexter, Boardwalk Empire

Ugh. I hate those people.

A few days ago a guy came in to set up an appt. He started blabbing about his wife that died in a car wreck and he never had closure. He never really got over her. He gave me the name and continued to tell me the story. He was drunk too. I took a deposit from him. Then he goes.... Oh wait that was seconds wifes name! My first wife was Donna! Clearly he never got over her. Then he tells me he heard it hurts less on muscle so he wanted it in the biggest muscle he had. His dick. I told him I wasn't gonna tattoo his dick but I'd be more than happy to tattoo it next to his pussy.

I was certain he wasn't gonna make it for his appt. but he showed up. Moved around the entire time as I tattooed it on his arm. He still kept sayin dumb shit. When I was done and collected the money I told him to walk out into traffic.

Same day, last tattoo of the day.... Dude came in 40 minutes before we closed. Said he wanted a pachuco cross on his neck. I figured, simple enough I can knock it out in no time. Draw one out then he wants an "S" in it. Then he goes on to ask me if I know what a pachuco cross is and that it's a Sicilian thing. Then I tell him he's mistaken that it was a Chicano thing. He tells me," well that's what my dead uncle told me and that's who I'm getting it for". Slap it on his neck and he tells me the "s" is for his girlfriend.

Damn tattoo should gave taken me 6 minutes to do. I got out of the shop ten minutes after we close shop.

As I was walking home, I started feeling sick. By the time I got home (6 blocks away from the shop) I was attacked with the flu. Been outta work for a couple of days. Think I can return tomorrow
