Tattoo age on VBS

[abees]

i hope they put these up on youtube, my computer's on death's door and won't load it..

[ShawnPorter]

It's great. Totally worth the hype.

[Iwar]

Loved it! Can't wait for the next one.

[Valerie Vargas]

how good was that?! i smiled and nodded along to everything they were saying, i love smith st and what they are about. the episode was great, im looking forward to pt 2 already!

[gougetheeyes]

Pretty great way to start the day. One positive thing about the current state of tattooing? There is an unprecedented number of fantastic tattooers doing incredible work.

[jayessebee]

very very good stuff :)

[Avery Taylor]

I love that shop.

[Shadow]

That was great. I loved how it was about Smith Street just about as much as it was about Dan Santoro. I just wish is was longer. I could watch tattoo shows like that all day long!

[ShawnPorter]

There are going to be two more Santoro episodes, Shadow.

i doubt anyone's having the same problem as me, but it *is* on youtube aswell. really looking forward to watching tomorrow.

[s33ktruth]

I watched this twice yesterday, can't wait for more.

[Joe Shit]

I wan't more..It's like crack,but better..Do we have to wait a week for the next episode?

[Mel Noir]

It's on YouTube too? My obsessive playlists will like this.

The show is brilliant, this is what real tattooing is about, none of that Jodie Marsh bullshit.

+1 on the jodie marsh thing, it was pretty much version 1.0 of the whole 'tattoo school' thing.

[jade1955]

I thought the story about the gecko tattoo was fuckin hilarious.

Can't wait for part 2.

Thanks Abees, you rock :) When you don't have a TV, YouTube playlists take up a lot of that time you have when you're bored before sleeping, haha.

[abees]

haha, glad to help. really looking forward to seeing the rest of these - smith street is at the top of the list of places i'd love to get tattooed at one day.

[Mel Noir]

Same here mate- in fact, if I could just spend a few months in New York, that would be grand. A lot of my favourite studios seem to be either there or not too far.

[Scott R]

very cool, have heard of smiths street but its enlightening to hear how it unfolded and their philosophy towards tattoing.

[E. Gregory]

first part was cool, cant wait for the rest.

the chris o donnell interview on another part of their site was cool, too.

[AlannaCA]

wow!! i love part 1 and like everyone else i cant wait for the other ones to come out. its videos like this that continue to shape how i think about tattooing and really make me appreciate the people that work so hard at their craft. if you had shown me a piece of art from any of those guys back in september and asked if i would ever get that tattooed on me i'd probably have said hell no! i'll tell you now that it would be so awesome to get tattoo by any of those fine gentlemen! i feel personally that ive come very far in the way that i view tattoos!

[abees]

how come?..

[AlannaCA]

how come?..

i think that i WAS very close minded and i couldnt fully appreciate what the atrists were doing. i also started out looking at tattoos as most young girls do "(*valley girl voice*) it has to be on my wrist, facing me because its for me, and it has to be in white so only i can see it" type of mentallity.

[samsyd]

Very good, cant wait for the other eps, I plan to get at least something from everyone working there when im in NY.

Theres another thread on it but the True Love episodes also on youtube with Eli, Steve and Bert give some more insight into Smith St. and are worth the watch (although Berts episode doesnt take place at Smith St.)

first part was cool, cant wait for the rest.

the chris o donnell interview on another part of their site was cool, too.

Thanks for suggesting this, interview ruled. Had some really good stuff and a little guest appearance by Thomas Hooper.

Heres a link for anyone else interested.
