Avery Taylor Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Ha but I guess equal treatment for equal rights! Would I have expected him to stay if I wasn't a girl? Probably not! Fair enough, but it doesn't make it any less cool. I doubt that Don would have left anyone whether it was a woman or a man sitting there by themselves in that situation. But that is probably one of the many reasons you married him and not Roy Boy. Deb Yarian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irezumi Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Hogg hipped me to Dave Lum. I don't know how I slept on him for so long. every tattoo i've seen of his looks bulletproof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avery Taylor Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 every tattoo i've seen of his looks bulletproof. I have never seen one of his tattoos that I would want on me, but everyone I have ever seen was incredible. I love looking at his tattoos. The shit he has in Tattoo Time is so good, and not all that vulgar compared to a lot of his work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnPorter Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Hogg hipped me to Dave Lum. I don't know how I slept on him for so long. I just got done checking out the Heavy Duty Tattooing video over at Shawn's blog. Someone help me scrape my brain off of the ceiling. Amazing stuff. I remember watching that video and wanting a Lum tattoo SO badly. 20 years later and I still haven't. No idea why.

CultExciter Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Zeke Owen. He seems to appear younger and better looking as he gets older. I really love this video: NickelRad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickelRad Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Rick Walters! I went to the last Shamrock Social Club St. Patties Day Celebration and was so honored to get a shamrock done by Rick! Such an awesome experience to happen and to meet such a tattoo legend, a man with a wealth of information and amazing stories! And gotta love the whistle he does when you get a tattoo.

jade1955 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Got a Friday 13th tattoo from Alex Binnie at Into You in London yesterday. Alex has been tattooing since the late 1980s and it was a real treat to get something from him.

Tight-Lines Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Heading down to LA next month. Thinking on booking a spot with Bob Roberts. I think this is a good idea. Duffa, Ismael Plascencia Zavala and CultExciter 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tight-Lines Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Quite possibly the understatement of the century. Im a modest kind of guy on the internet.

hogg Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 In real life, his bark will make you jump a bit. That said, he was great to listen to and get tattooed by. I read so many stories about tattooers saying they were too scared to go to Spotlight because of Bob, and I can see why. kylegrey and CultExciter 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avery Taylor Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I would love some stories. Im quite nervous really. I was there a month ago, and he was very cool. I got a great tattoo, and enjoyed talking with him. Also I received your email, but have not had time to put together a response. I should be able to do it this weekend.

Bunny Switchblade Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Here are two living legends that i know have already been mentioned but I got to hang with them both this past weekend and had such and awesome time! Mr. Tony Polito....who showed up to surprise me....and in the background you can see Mr. Mike Perfetto tattooing! Sorry....I look like crap....mostly because I had already been tattooed earlier in the day by Steve Delgatto...ha ha ha!

Jack Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 i feel like this thread should be renamed "List of people Bunny gets tattooed by because she's way cooler than I am" Seriously though, awesome. Jack Wier and Petri Aspvik 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Switchblade Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 i feel like this thread should be renamed "List of people Bunny gets tattooed by because she's way cooler than I am" Seriously though, awesome. Nah....i am a pretty simple chic! I ran with the cool kids in High School which led me to becoming a drop out......not too cool huh? BUT....I am def not as cool as most of the people around here! I am just a very lucky lady (and please don't ever think I don't know it) to have met and been tattooed by some of the people I have been tattooed by AND I owe that to friends in the craft and people like you guys who point me in the right direction! I have a long list and I am doing my best to add those people before some of them stop tattooing! If anyone ever feels I am grandstanding, name dropping, or anything....then please message me and I will pull back....definitely not my intention! My appologies if that is the case! I just thought it would be cool to post a photo of Tony with Mike tattooing in the background was all! :) irezumi, Jack and CultExciter 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CultExciter Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 How is Mike Perfetto is way better shape than I am and he's probably 10-20 years older than me? Oh wait, yeah, he probably works out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Switchblade Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 How is Mike Perfetto is way better shape than I am and he's probably 10-20 years older than me? Oh wait, yeah, he probably works out... I was really surprised how in shape he really is! He has to be at least 55-56 because the shop opened it's door in 1976! He told me that the BBC had just been there doing a TV taping because they had done some research and his shop had been open the longest out of all the remaining shops (either in Brooklyn or NYC)..... so he told them about Tony P. and he had Tony come in to talk with them.....and Mike wound up tattooing Tony during the taping for the show!
