Yes, that book has been a great resource for info. This book would not have been possible without Chuck Eldridge and Dana Brunson. So many people have been very helpful in piecing together everything. Right now I think we are close to having all the material needed for the book but we are still trying to track down any photographs of Zeis (they are hard to come by). One thing we really need is an original copy of a Zeis supply catalog. The one I have is a copy and I want to scan a few things off the OG catalog. If anyone has one you would be willing to loan me for use in the book please contact me. Here is a small list of artists (not all, still working out the details) that are contributing paintings of commercial flash sold by Zeis. Scott Sylvia Theo Mindell Scott Harrison Chad Koeplinger Jason Brooks Robert Ryan Timothy Hoyer Mike Wilson Tim Lehi Nick Colella Valerie Vargas Stewart Robson Bryan Burk Steve Byrne Tony Hundahl Nick Rodin Jay Chastain Danny Reed Shag Cory Lenherr Aaron Coleman Jay Chastain Thomas Morgan Charlie Roberts and a bunch more... Again its humbling how many people have been willing to help with this project. Zeis's influence on the tattoo world is much greater than I had expected. I hope we can do him justice and preserve his legacy for others.

Thanks for calling this to our attention Hawk. I met Daniel at the Philly convention, and he had so much cool stuff and old photographs that I had to bring Scott back to the table with me, and they shared a moment over the Lyle Tuttle shirt given to his grandfather. Any possibility of a paypal account being set up? A lot of people might not be able to send a large amount, but I bet a LOT of people would be happy to paypal a smaller amount. It's super easy, and there's no embarrassment around "here's my $10, sorry it's all I can do." We've gotten up to a 1000 viewers a day here on LST, and I think at least half of us are parents, I'm sure tons of people would be happy to help out in this way.

Here is a video that I found on Marcus's Facebook.

My son has been bugging me since he turned 16 to get tattooed. Nothing from my personal experience- me waiting til I was 30/had money to start getting tattooed, a family friend that went through a painful laser removal on a teenaged tribal arm band, discussions with tattooers at conventions have turned him off. I am honestly less concerned with him getting tattooed and more concerned with the quality of the tattooer he uses at this point. I think education is more important at this point = /
