Hey gang

Hi fellow LST billies, I just joined because I wanted to post a new thread regarding a pretty cool tattoo collectible that I have available for sale, and as per the rules of forum posting I'm here for a proper intro- my name is Earl, I've been collecting tattoos since 1999 when I started getting work from Scott Sylvia and Juan Puente at 222, after that shop closed I started visiting Temple in Oakland where I was tattooed mostly by Scott Sylvia and Jason Mcafee, since Blackheart Tattoo opened in 2004 I've been getting most of my work there from Scott as well as Mary Joy and Jen Lee over at Tattoo City. I've also been provident enough to have the opportunity get tattooed overseas in Japan, last year a buddy and I visited Three Tides Tattoo in Osaka, Japan where we got work from Hiroshi Hirakawa and Mutsuo Nakabayashi. Hello and regards everyone :D

Thanks very much and I've been using this handle on various sites for awhile now and you are the first person to correctly mention where it came from...lol I thought he was a legend ;)

I am just filled with shame, you have no idea.

My wife and I watch that movie when its on and laugh our asses off. Same goes for the sequel with Hayden Paneteiiieeeiiiiieerrreeeiieieeirrree

Is all your work japanese?

[Sparky Polastri]

Just my torso and asscheeks, the rest is mostly neo-traditional/Americana...and seriously, Hayden Panatearerere krumping is just about the most ridiculous I've ever seen ;)
