Dan's still a little too Paul Booth for him. Think Baphomet or goat head in a pentragram as opposed to "horror" themed stuff.
Now do you see his dilemma? I told him to just get tattoos, like a normal person. Then he laughed and punched me.

I have a friend who is looking to get some evilous shit* in New York City. He has work from a few artists, but he hasn't found exactly what he's looking for. Any suggestions for an artist who does evil, dark, devilish stuff?
*I should add the disclaimer that he's not into Paul Booth, as he feels his stuff has gone so far beyond evil as to cross over into comical. Yes, my friend is particular, and he's aware of it. :)
Thanks!

Went in for outlines. Came out happy.
You get more than a tattoo from Robert Ryan, that's for sure.

Conn posted this on Tumblr:
Mostly just affirming what has already been rumored. I like the part about his helping with travel expenses, though.
What I want to know is how long he will be tattooing for this time, but I guess we can't really know that.

Forgot I didn't have pic of these up here. My 3rd tattoo- Inside right bicep from Ezra Haidet, Triple Crown Tattoo, ATX

Tattooed by @mario desa @Frith Steet Tattoos. The picture is from Marios Instagram/Frith Street Site.

It's on the inside of my thigh.

What the hell was I babbling on about. The tattoo is on the inside of my shin

Here's one Ron Henry Wells did on me last October at the State of Grace Convention:

Definitely my favorite tattoo so far.

New piece from Tim S. @ Anthem in Gainesville, FL.

Going in June 2 to get a tudor rose on my elbow, with a compass rose above it covering up some old garbage, my birthday is the 3rd so its my present to myself. Stoked to finally cover up that old tattoo, and i just got out of a job where i couldnt have tattoos visible with a t-shirt, so im happy to finally be able to go on/below the elbow!

*I am still laughing really hard at this. There is no good reason, its extremely juvenile... and I'm ok with that lol.

Thanks @MadeIndelible, I tattooed that on a friend a couple weeks ago.

So, why does this moke need to use vinyl gloves? Is he that freaking toxic he's afraid to catch something from himself???

I don't know if I uploaded these correctly, so I hope the pictures come through along with the explanations.
The first few, of the peacock, skull/top-hat and snake, were done by Al Schiefley. The guy got the tattoos in the early 70's, shortly before Al died. I ran into this guy in southeastern Ohio and asked if I could take his picture. He didn't know what the big deal was, and seemed a little weirded out at first. I told him I liked getting pictures of old tattoos, especially done by guys from Ohio, and after talking with him a few minutes he seemed delighted about it. I also have a couple pictures of Stoney St. Clair tattoos that are on an old guy around here, but I can't seem to find them anywhere (one was a rad little skunk, that the guy said he just did on him freehand). They're on an old photo card. I'll upload them if I find them.
The guy in the stocking cap got almost all his tattoos from Sailor Jerry Collins. I can't remember the exact dates he told me, but I remember thinking they had to have been done before the time period that I read about where Jerry got pissed at the IRS and quit tattooing for a while, so the 1950's I believe. I took the pictures in 2006, and he said the tattoos were like fifty years old. My memory might be wrong, but I think that's what he said. This dude was salty and had no problem lifting up his shirt for the picture. He got tattooed while in the service in Hawaii, and had some rad stories.
The last pictures are of Tex Rowe. I took them while at a convention in Pittsburgh in 2008. Actually, I went with Rich T., and we were both snapping pictures...I think it was his camera and he may have taken the pictures and sent them to me after. In any event, I remember Mike Skiver saying that Tex's back was done by Brooklyn Blackie, and I believe he said his chest was too, although I can't remember for sure (if you know, I'd like to know, thanks). It was pretty cool that Skiver brought him there and was bringing him around the convention. I seem to remember someone telling me that Mike did this for him often, and was close with Tex and his family, which I thought was really neat. Respect. Tex seemed fine with the pictures and it was nice to actually meet him. The dude was not only this rad old timer in tattooing, but I'd heard he was a highly decorated WWII veteran who (I heard) trained where I did (Ft. LeonardWood, MO), though I don't know that for sure. Tex passed away the next year. I got tattooed by Bowery Stan at that convention too, and I know there were a couple pictures of him and Tex, but I don't know what happened to them.

My dad's tattoos, Eagle from Tacoma Wa 1969, Sparrow from Ft Worth TX 1972

I don't think that i have ever seen any photos from Bob's New York shop (apartment). I wonder why he spelled it Spotlite then, and changed it to Spotlight in Los Angeles. No matter how you spell it I am excited to be getting tattooed by Bob in a couple of weeks.

'Nuff said

That is exactly what I want! Great minds I dare say!

@Tim Burke That's one awesome tiger. Are you having Mario do your panther, too?
I just emailed a tattooer last night about a flower mandala on my knee.

Here's a T-Rex on the back my girlfriend's calf. I think it's pretty much her favourite tattoo. Done by Matty D'Arienzo from Melbourne AUS when he was in London. This was taken straight after so it's a bit angry. I love it!

Done by my fiancé James Buie at TCB tattoo in Toronto years ago...
