    Posted

    Running the streets of Oakland, and causing havoc, raising hell, and all on a blogger's budget. Slept in mansions, slept in a house that had so much shit on the walls that I couldn't stand up straight. Talked to some witches, and smoked hella reefer. Sat at a table with two drug dealers at a bar in Oakland's Temescal.

    This Goes The White Way

    Fellow LSTers,

    I've been writing as a means of travel and before that, a means of study and just plain fun. So, since I have such a respect for this forum, and the people whom I posted with in the days while it was just budding, including some of you assholes who stuck around, I'm gonna celebrate the year of the Goat, mid-August, The Month of The Mystic Black Rose, by naming my nom du plume, Maks Coren Wylt, which channels my studies into writing on Facebook, and in other spheres. I've spoken with Sonju Rattler, one of my good friends and one of my bar mentor's tattooers, about making these pieces of what I have deemed my entrance into writing in Oakland senses and what was the most influential part of my life for as long as I can remember, the works I do in my off time, and with close friends. I have emailed Ron Henry Wells with a draft of my past 8 days of travel, staying with musicians, and reading religious works. He's always been a bit off schedule as far as human time. I've been busy with connections between a friend's band and Tattoo 13, where they shot a video shoot that I set up with Hector Fong. There are many more places to go, and many more moons to howl at. I'd invite you all to read, and see what you make of it. I am going to be sending the writing to tattooers, as I see proper. Money just started becoming an item on the table. Gotta hustle.

    Ephemeral Tattoo Ink

    [video]

     

    So, there's this company, a start up, that made tattoo ink that disappears in a few years. Looks like the guy in the video either has no tattoos, or chose to cover them up, the latter of which I highly doubt. That's just a start as to why I think this is a terrible idea. I'll leave this here for your viewing.

    Posted

    An update.

    I got an email from Bridget Punsalang today stating that the bill was amended to not require single-use caps.

    Here's the actual bill, in case anyone wants to read the fine print. The parts in brackets are to be removed from the bill.

    Section 1. Subdivisions 10 and 11 of section 460 of the public health

    law, as added by chapter 230 of the laws of 2015, are amended to read as

    follows:

    10. ["Single use ink" shall mean a sealed and pre-filled package of

    ink that is only intended for a single use] "APPROVED INK HANDLING

    PROCEDURE" SHALL MEAN TATTOO INK STORAGE AND USE PROCEDURES THAT ARE

    APPROVED AND DEEMED PROTECTIVE BY THE DEPARTMENT.

    11. "Single use needle" shall mean a [sealed and sterile package of a

    disposable needle] NEEDLE THAT IS STERILE AND THAT HAS NEVER BEEN USED

    ON ANOTHER PERSON.

    S 2. Section 467 of the public health law, as added by chapter 230 of

    the laws of 2015, is amended to read as follows:

    customers and to maintain customer consent forms for a period of not

    less than seven years, is amended to read as follows:

    BEFORE SUCH DATE.

    NYS has successfully postponed the law that would force tattooers to use single-use "ink-shots."

    https://www.change.org/p/andrew-cuomo-david-carlucci-kenneth-zebrowski-new-york-state-department-of-health-change-nys-bill-s1421-2015-to-allow-the-use-of-disposable-ink-caps-in-tattooing/u/14481534?tk=BgSlyLPy2fyPrm01Hv1IPN4iDS5bpUU16wKuwP91sHA&utm_source=petition_update&utm_medium=email

    Not sure if that link works for others, as it was a hotlink in an email that I got from change.org

    Basically, it got postponed, but there is a new bill being written that may be very similar to the one that was postponed.

    Long Beach

    I know of Port City and High Seas Tattoo Parlor. Is there any real reason to search elsewhere? I'm leaning towards there not being, but I don't claim to know everything :)

    I've been following Shon at High Seas for a long time, and I love everything he does, but I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place, because Marc Nava is in Long Beach, where I'll be staying. I don't have any cats yet, and a panther (and, may I be as bold to say perhaps a chrome panther!). On the other hand, Shon does no bullshit traditional that I love.

    HELP ME, LST! lol

    What do you think of pocket watches?

    in Tattoo Designs, Books and Flash

    Posted

    @pidjones is diving into a whole nother topic of appropriation, so if I may, I'll try to add something impactful. Pocket watches, outside of tattoos are timeless. Obviously the vast majority of physical pocket watches are of no real significant value other than a gimmick or a novelty. If timeless is what we're after, then it is up to the person getting tattooed to choose which it is. Gimmicky or timeless.

    repost of stupid idea?

    in WTF in the News

    Posted

    if I may, I actually have a formulated opinion about this. Stick and pokes are all good and fun. I mean, who here hasn't seen an instagram post by a professional tattooer that he/she respects? Or even those ironic tattoos done by respected tattooers that look like kitchen jobs, but are essentially done because specific tattooers have built a reputation to the point that they can do those stupid tattoos and make a temporary fad (and I hate that word) out of it. I can think of one tattooer, however, and I'm sure there are many I haven't come across, who can do tattoos in that fashion and make it look good. It's the "bad ideas done well" idiom, which I totally back. That being said, the link that started this thread just seems like a clingy indie way of making money off something that should be done outside of the neatly formed package that it seems to promote. Without saying too much, tattoos are still gritty, and stick and pokes are still sacred. Fuck this stupid vegan bullshit. Why the fuck does someone need a kit for something that can be done in a sterile manner with a sewing needle, thread, and india ink. Fuck the internet.
