It's great- it's called Signatures of the Soul; hosted by Peter 'Easy Rider' Fonda. Ed Hardy, Bob Roberts and Leo Zulueta, Doc Webb.... I'm not sure if it's available on dvd.

I host a yearly afterparty to the Philly tattoo convention at my bar; pretty much looks exactly like that. We have a liberal policy on what you're allowed to wear, afterall :D

[Barrett Dobra]

Thank you so much for these! I've watched them all, simply amazing.

[ShawnPorter]

I just unpacked about five years worth of bound (3 ring binders with magazine spines) tattoo magazines from my house in NJ.... been going back and reading all the Hardy interviews with his staff in various Tattoo Revues..... great stuff!

SOCIAL SECURITY - British Pathé

SOCIAL SECURITY - British Pathé

That was quite interesting!

On a side note, while I may no nothing about tattoo equiptment, I found it weird that the machines they were using were very narrow (tube?). I saw an almost identical machine in my two tattoo history books that my sister got me.

Many thanks for posting. @klyegrey That brought back a load of good memories. I've seen most of the bands on that film, The Clash,The Jam, Subway Sect, Chelsea, The Adverts.

I'll even admit to going to a Boomtown Rats gig, even though I thought they were bandwagon jumpers and that Bob Geldof was a massive poseur. During one of the numbers someone jumped up on stage and busted Geldofs nose, blood everywhere :cool:. That was worth the admission fee alone.

So many of them no longer with us. Joe Strummer and more recently Jimmy Pursey from Sham 69 (he’s the guy who got his arse out near the beginning of the film when Mark Perry was being interviewed) Gene October the lead singer with Chelsea and Poly Styrene from breast cancer last year :(.

Hard to believe that was 34 years ago. Great days.

Correction. I thought I read somewhere that Gene October had died. Apparently not, he works for Brighton & Hove Council in Recycling Dept.

Not dead just recycled.

Not dead just recycled.

So there is HOPE for the wicked?
