Smith Street Tattoo

Excellent! Dan is a rad dude.

I know more of you out there have stuff from here. No need to be stingy.

Bert, 2009

Bert.......2010(ish)

[CultExciter]

@irezumi I got you buddy

Eli, 2012

Sorry for all the leg y'all. I ran to the bathroom and took this photo real quick.

God damn, Mike Perfetto is fucking ageless.

Mike is in amazing shape....and he really doesn't ever look like he aged....it's ridiculous....LOL

Strictly speaking neither was mine, I got that at the Inksmith & Rogers 25th anniversary party.

LOL......I got mine at Todd Noble's opening of Right Coast Tattoo!

I got tattooed by Bert and Taz got tattooed by Grime...

The first rule about Smith Street is...

HAHA, I was thinking the same. I thought they didn't want their photos online (even though I've posted my Eli piece on the GRAM).

Yeah, that was what it was getting at, in a jokey way. I don't know if it's still the case that they feel that way but I haven't put up the dagger I got from Steve anywhere.

I'm not judging though ;)

[irezumi]

Bert posts a wolf tat every other week or so. I'm not putting up something that has a secret trick or anything like that.

[RoryQ]

Like I said, I was mostly joking - I certainly didn't mean it as a reprimand.

At the end of the day I think people are rightly free to post pictures of a tattoo that's on them if they want to either way.

[Bunny Switchblade]

I had asked Dan if I take a photo of him tattooing me and of course of the tattoo as well.....and asked if he minded it being posted up!

But yeah......no secret tricks or anything I have seen have been posted up!

[CultExciter]

I believe they mostly are referring to the bogarting of their own photos, which in turn get reblogged and spread to every Tumblr without proper credit given to them.

That is exactly what they are talking about!

I was curious as to "the rules" so I just hit up Bert....he said that if you have a tattoo on yourself that they did then post away!!!

BUT....they don't like the reposting of work from directly their pages.....and consequently the chain of reposting that happens after that!

Yeah I completely agree. I've deleted stuff from my photobucket because of that. People suck.

That Eli piece you recently posted is soooo good.

[Iwar]

Boltz, 2012. Love this little gap filler.

[CABS]

That Eli piece you recently posted is soooo good.

Thanks! It's my second one from Eli. I have one from Bert too. Someday I want to get tattooed by Boltz and Santoro too.

Panther by Bert Krak. Done at SSTP June 2012. My third tattoo ever.

You are definitely getting great work done on you...and yeah....definitely get something from Steve & Dan too! It's so awesome when you walk into shops like Smith Street (or Frith Street in London) and know you really can't go wrong by being tattooed by anyone there!

Is it possible to get off a plane at 3:45 and make it to Smith Street by 5 pm? I haven't spent much time in NYC...

[irezumi]

Depends on day & time. If you have a smartphone get an app called Hopstop.

[hfs40000]

When I searched for Hopstop, the top result was an app called Transit. Do you know if that's the same?
