Mario Barth, Angelina Jolie, Shaq and the director from Miami Ink are more influential to tattooing than Bob Roberts??!! Someone should kick Bob Baxter in his pussy! I can't believe I just got sucked into that. FML

Stumbled over this today...

i had a job working at the front desk of a college dormitory, including signing in guests after hours. a girl always came in with her boyfriend, who had PERSAVERANCE down his forearm (yes, i misspelled it... so did he), obviously home made. he turned out to be a really cool, funny dude, but that always cracked me up. up there with that is a tattoo a friend of mine who works at a gas station saw one night... a well executed tattoo of the word FAMILY on someone's leg, but in Comic Sans. he said it was really difficult to not say that he loved it and ask for a picture. i really, really wish he would have.

i dont know the year, but a long time ago. i met goodtime charlie cartwright, in wichita kansas, at end of the trail tattoo shop. way before piercings were hip. he tattooed a dragon on my fore arm. i was locked in . he inspired me to be a tattoo artist. i never got a chance to thank him. what a great man.

ok, ok, it was me.

bob baxter is a piece of shit.

I saw a guy with a brass knuckle tattoo below his eye. To me this said "Punch me here, and don't forgot your brass knuckles"

growing up a poor black kid in mississippi oh wait... I am a pale face. I got some sketchy at best tats at a juvenile facility in the early 90s. In my mid 20s I began fighting in smokers tournaments and later MMA. and noticed these tattoos didnt represent me so I had them covered on my arms and back. I never put much thought into it but now in my mid 30s I really have an appreciation for art and artists and want to litter myself with said art

These just make me feel sad for these people, that the other forms of self-mutilation just weren't enough for them. To me, they're not tattoos, just billboards for self loathing, fear, and desperation.

I forget that its there, but when i remember its a nice surprise. We were just sitting around bored so this happened. He took 5 minutes & i love him.

Heres Mine.... Its a memorial tattoo for my grandpa we called him the buzzard. Was an electrician and taught judo for 60 years hence the "judo belt and electrical wires" Done by BIG5 @ Union Electric

i was 15 one of my buddies was going to get tattooed by dragon mike in houston texas and my other friend was getting tattooed by richard stell at scorpion studios which was across the street at the time around '91/'92 and i tagged along all i really remember is how terrified i was of richard after he tossed me out for drawing in the shop and mimicking the designs on the wall. i was 15 and didnt realize what a faux pah that was. also richard was a much bigger and orney looking dude then than now if you can imagine.i still came back and hung out almost daily with my buddies but i hung in the back scared of richard. that impression stuck with me so even as a grown man in my 30's id see richard at conventions and was afraid to approach him til the san jose convention 3 years ago where i walked up and introduced my self and he remebered i believe because the first thing he said after i told him my name and that used to hang out in his shop was "oh yeah, didnt i throw you the F%@$ out?" then i got tattooed by him and he was the nicest guy and very quick witted so then i felt pretty silly for being afraid of him for all those years. ha
