Sorry to hear, Jake. That sucks. That said, if you want tattooing to be made illegal and still plan to tattoo... (thus breaking the law)... why not just break the law and go break some hands? :D

Cris Cleen fucking works. I know some of you have tattoos from Cris.. http://vimeo.com/27647687

Surely you don't mean....

no offense but tattoo magazine makes me sad to look at. often times it seems to be mediocre work plastered on half naked girls and if its not that its ads for some shitty supply company or some h2ocean bs. sex sells blah blah blah. all show and no substance. my uncle buys me those things and i always end up putting them right in the trash. i wouldn't want my picture in one of those things. sorry...

a nice big sign that says "if you can get it cheaper then why are you here". they operate in a tiny space that i cant believe people would even want to get tattooed in, so i dont think that making rent will be a problem especially with all the gimmicks they are putting out. some or their crew work at an out door fleamarket on the weekends and raffle off fake coach bags and bongs along with tattoos at local night hot spots. i hate to bring up the negative a negative topic, but i look at this shit and wonder if im going bat shit. and yeah land lord said there was no competitive clause in lease...

I like some of his tattoos and none of his posturing.

im going to paint a sign that says "WE FIX $20 TATTOOS". sometimes i think back of the days when i could still smell green soap, people still made needles, and there was somewhat of a common respect between tattooers in a town. unfortunately violence doesnt solve anything, only gets you an extended stay in a beautiful state run facility. i love tattooing, although lowballers and phonys are making it harder and harder. time to knuckle down and just keep working.

Wait until you smell them out back smoking weed and call the cops. Hard to do $20 tattoos when your shop is shut down.

Maybe you should start running a cover-up special.

About 7 or 8 years ago Bill Demichele took a photo of me at a convention, and I asked him not to publish it, as I had no interest in the tattoo being seen publicly. He said he would not, yet six months later, there it was in print. Every idiot in America has that tattoo, and it makes me sick.

Joke's on me, I bet that's a dude.

Here are some pictures you can drool over Stitch! I have to mention Tim Pausinger from Most Preciouse Ink in Coburg, Germany who does amazing palm tattoos. BTW he was also just mentioned in the http://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/tattoo-101/739-who-do-you-think-deserves-some-recognition-page11.html thread by martin. the first set of religious hands i thought were really cool! the second set is on the shop manager at Speakeasy Tattoo shop in Toronto.

What is it? I guess asking to post a picture is out of the question

Barf. Pretty contrived. Those walking shots are a joke. All these videos are just looking like commercials.

I love the raven (?) that's just beautiful!

hahaha sorry! and about that chick with the bat, she looks fucking crazy and I would never want to have to fight her.

I tried for so long to avoid this thread!!! i just got sucked in and now im laughing my but off at all the pictures u posted ursula.

URSULA YOU ARE RUINING MY LIFE. Also, looks like that jugalette with a bat probably has the nicest looking tattoo of everyone that listens to ICP..

HOW.FUCKING.DARE.YOU. That was addressed to ME Dave. ME. Not YOU. THIS MEANS WAR! Wait. Nah. It's cool. Hah. I'm hoping to start my thigh soon, big some'bitch. (the tattoo, not the thigh. My thigh is pleasantly shaped) And I plan to really keep the nutrition aspect in mind.

I recived my shirt in the mail a couple days ago and its sooo cool! i was thinking it was going to be black like the last ones but i was delightfully surprised that they were white with a red and gold logo! i love love love it! thank you so much!

Gotta start 'em young to make sure there's no question that they'll grow up to be this This reminds be of a question I've long pondered... Do parents of ugly children know the kid is ugly?

I was flipping through some old photo albums today and found a Cliff Raven card for his California shops. Pretty basic card, but awesome none the less!

the morning of the tattoo, i'll go to the market and buy a nice steak (preferably a porterhouse) and some good beer, a chocolate or energy bar and mints, and a bottle of water or gatorade. dry marinade the steak and throw it in the fridge, have a balanced lunch a hour or two before the appointment, and roll up a couple of J's. then i'll drive to the tattoo shop and have this overwhelming weird restless/excitement/nervous feeling the whole ride there. mints, chocolate, and gatorade during. afterwards, go home and throw the steak on the charcoal grill and have a ice cold beer. followed by a J or two. take it easy the rest of the day and wash off the tattoo before i go to sleep.

hello my fellow redditor.

They're not Paris Hilton or a Kardashian, nobody has a net worth of 15 million dollars, so why are you surprised when a tattooer asks you not to take photos of their shit? Any publicity is not good publicity in an industry that prides itself on not being a bunch of vacuous fucking nincompoops. Also, I find it incredibly insulting when people assume they can take photos of tattooed folks simply because they have tattoos. $0.02.

Incredible! Scott's daggers man... I'm getting one soon, though a wee bit smaller.

Thanks guys now I know what to ask for, as I would really like one -so far I'm most stoked on this by Bert Grimm

Just ate an apple. All I have left for today is a banana, peanut butter cliff bar and some black bean/chicken breast/white rice dish from last night. Diets fucking blow.

a few more palm tattoos on Thomas Hoopers's blog - The Inalienable Dreamless « Hoopers Electric – Meditations in Atrament

One of my employees lives/works on a blueberry farm and recently hooked me up with some fresh picked blueberries; tonight I made blueberry with lime zest jam. The bottles are cooling right now; I should be making an amazing pb&j tomorrow if all goes well!

guys, this is my new boyfriend.. we met last week at a really psychopathic bar we were both drinking faygo and vodka.. i think he might be 'the one' ... keep an eye on your inboxes for wedding invites

Hopefully this photo will work. Yes my first tattoo is on my palm. It's really not unbearable at all, maybe that's because I've broken all my teeth and been through way more painful things, also there isn't much bone in your palm. And my tattoo is very simple, I can imagine the top of the hand or finger would hurt more. I'm just putting lotion on it now, the artist said only to use neosporin for three days, so I did.

I live on meat and that sounds hella good.

vegan chocolate mocha cake sounds amazing right now.

A couple whopper jrs with cheese and a dr pepper. After, a really good meal, a beer, and a nap
