A few of Richards Bald Birdies... Animals: Eagles, Snakes, Big Cats... Most of his favorite subject matter to tattoo...

I got two pictures sent to me recently that looked like they were straight from 850 Bryant (SF's County Jail) processing area but the person who sent them to me had no idea on any of the history. I couldn't decided where on the tattoo forum I was going to put them as the "Photography of People with Tattoos" was good but didn't seem right. Then the next closes thread was the "Russian Criminal Tattoos" thread but that wasn't a fit as they were clearly American and one was for sure Bay Area specific. I was thinking how cool it would be to see a tattoo picture book of American Prison and County Tattoos. So I've done a l little research and believe I located where they came from, Robert Gumpert, though could be wrong as the two I got weren't on his site but match his style. So while in the process I gathered some more prisoner tattoo pictures and thought it would be cool to have a thread of tattoo pictures of American prisoners in county and/or jail. It would great to get ahold of all the pictures they take of people and their tattoos when processing new inmates to the county/state bed and breakfast. Here's is an article I found on Juxtapoz about one of Robert Gumbert's recent projects: Please share your photos and also if you know of any books. Here is a book I found that looks good: Prison Tattoos

Thanks for posting this shit. All my buddies at work are dying laughing all the time. We keep setting different ones as desktop images and all of our supervisors are pissed. VIVA LA REVOLUTION.

i actually have 2, as i was given an extra by mistake haha. none the less, i'll refer people regardless of the contest.

I find this one appropriate for the tattoo forum... hahaha

and then there were more pictures of people with tattoos.......This may be one of my favorite batches sent my way..... The picture of Freddy Madball with Maximus may be my favorite.

I mean, this guy is fucking awful and all, but come on Frank, I KNOW you've seen Big Dogz Ink, those dudes make this guy look like Fillip Leu.

Here is the paypal accounts you can send money to to benefit Carley Peace. They are run through First Amendment Tattoo in Augusta, Ga. The first one is Philip's and it is [email protected] and the next is [email protected] and it is attached to the other owner, Fro. Thanks everyone and spread the word.

good points, i'm just too lazy and post all my pics from my iphone these days, as my camera gathers dust. on a side note, i see a lot of hacks making laughable tattoos watermarking their photos, as if anyone would want to steal them! these are the same guys who write on their websites "DO NOT STEAL OR COPY!" hahaha...and they suck!

Ha! Ben Grillo did one like that 3 years ago: He added the caption, "i'm not trying this again so don't ask."
