i guess we know the next fashion trend for tattooers...red hats and sunglasses...and beards still.

[Avery Taylor]

I have been wearing one of those denim shirts for years. I suppose that is fucked as well.

[ShawnPorter]

Sounds familiar.

Saw Higgs with Skull Defekts last night and brought along my digital video camera; it used to be a lot more fun to sneak cameras in.

I wanted to go so bad but couldn't. Did I really miss out?

[ChrisM]

I really wanted to go to that Philly show for the Skull Defekts! Did I miss out??

[ShawnPorter]

Yeah man. It was last night at some punk rock "house" venue.

Dan Higgs Facts

Don't know if this has been posted already....http://higgsgallery.com

Has anyone ever thought maybe the reason Dann Higgs doesnt want anything to do with tattooing is the crazy Dan Higgs posts and sometimes creepy hero worship like the ones that happen here and everywhere else his name is mentioned. I mean ive never been tattooed by him nor met him, but i would think that its all pretty overwhelming.

I can see that. Luckily he's stuck with music, which has no creepy hero worship factor. :D

higgs is a talented, eccentric MAN. not a divine guru. this whole "cult of higgs" that has sprung up the last few years is fucking stupid.

[Bart Bingham]

poor Dan. he left and tried to distance himself from tattooing and persued music only to find himself playing and looking out on audiences packed full of tattooers that look just like him. dude cant get escape.

exactly! rob ryan told me he was playing a show with dan and dan spotted a group of bearded-tattooed dudes in the crowd. dan leans over to rob and whispers "they're here!"...hahaha

these guys act like dan was lowered to earth from a ufo driven by jesus. he was a great tattooer, is a great artist and musician...they're turning him into a sid vicious type cartoon charecter to use as an icon to express your tribe and show how cool you are. what they don't realize is that shit is exactly what dan hated about tattooing. .

[Avery Taylor]

I have never met the guy, but the one thing that I have noticed in all of the interviews that have been posted is that he is seems to be very funny. Much more comedian than guru. I also see that in his tattoos. This one I found awhile back and I think is a good example of his humor.

[Avery Taylor]

Mario, I think that a UFO driven by Jesus would make a pretty good tattoo.

That Frankenstein has a touch of Oscar Wilde -something about life imitating art or vice versa .

I saw Robert Ryan yesterday. He was wearing a denim shirt. I'm going to have to remind him that if he trends into wearing a red beanie hat, we'll all be making fun of him here.

[Perez]

Yeah but the difference between Bink and the rest of those guys is Dan probably left that shirt at his house.

[mario desa]

higgs painted three murals in rr's loft. they're awesome and i have pics, but you'll never see them!!!

[ShawnPorter]

I certainly hope Robert owns that loft.
