Not exactly a shark fighting and eagle, but a wutang laser buffalo could also work? Add a megaphone and I think we're good to go. (not sure who did the tattoo, but its friggin AWESOME - stolen from the old 12oz tattoo thread, RIP)

The troy denning teaser trailer is out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhMPkxXHncA Troy Denning - Teaser - Tattoo Age | VBS.TV so great! i love how cheeky he is, i can already see all the hipsters denouncing their hipsterness or just hating him for that clip, i love that guy! i'm really enjoying the fact that so far every tattooer's approach to work/life has been so different from the others.

My Dad got this same design in Fayetteville, N.C. in 1953 (obviously not from Sailor Jerry, but the same design anyway). It's the only tattoo he ever got, and at 75 years old you can imagine that tattoo looks like total shit, and it does. I'm almost 46 now, but I can remember seeing seeing this tattoo since I was three years old. It got me hooked on anything and everything to do with tattoos ever since then. Pop's is on his left arm, about the size of a softball. I don't have any room on either arm for it so I'm gonna get it on my left leg on Saturday. Opinions?

I made another reaper, I wanted to share it 'cause I'm stoked on it. This is 6.5x6" embroidery and paint on linen. More people need to start posting in this thread again!

Didn't anyone teach you to share, if your going to draw it for her then you have to draw one for all of us.

Tattoos can represent stuff?

that frankenstein is unfadeable

NOT WOMEN!!!!!!!!

Ill draw it for you.

its hard to bunch collectors into one group as they seem to vary a lot. in the tattoo world some of them have played key roles in preserving history but like anything its a mixed bag. often times people are more concerned with money or how rare something is.. tattooers and collectors both.

What disappointed me about the spread was that the tattoos weren't in anyway compelling/arresting/beautiful/thought-provoking/subversive or really anything, which for me is kinda the point of art. Holds the 'modern artists' responsible for that.

If I get it I'll do a review.

(for talking about non-juggalo-ness lol)

I'll draw it for you so you can draw it for her.

After drinking 4 PBR tall boys, My friend who also happens to be my tattooer asked me what tattoo I wanted next on my smoking animal arm. I said I don't know an ashtray? So he drew it on a cocktail napkin, I paid the tab and back to the shop for some after hours tattooing. I think my second favorite is my avatar pic.

Thanks to a great suggestion by @Iwar we have updated the Tattoo Gallery voting system to use 'Like' instead of star rating. Now you can simply click the green 'Like' button at the top right of the Pictures you want to vote for - much simpler! The contest rules still apply, but it will now be based on the total number of Likes rather than rating. Enjoy.

Dope shit for all Higgs fiends .

I don't want this. I need it. Even though I rarely draw. Way to go advertising. You worked again. Inkling | Wacom Americas

i like Troy's sign idea.

"I don't know what Jack White did to Dan... but he did produce his current album"

Saw High On Fire/Black Cobra a few nights ago. Holy shit. Black Cobra blew me away. Ive been into em for a while and never seen them. Two fucking people make some of the heaviest jams of all time. And High On Fire as always was great. Pike was wrestling some shirtless dude outside. Twas rad.

classic design and the back story makes getting it really cool

That's awesome, I love Sailor Jerry art!!!

Useful or non useful tip (you take your pick) from my juggalo friend. If you plan on going to see ICP and want to be served alcohol don't paint your face, unless your face is painted on your drivers license.

I feel anything with bears and wolves is a win. Bad ass bears and wolves that is. You should also throw some snowy mountains in there. Lightning. Fire Rivers. If you are into quotes, just read a bunch of Cormac Mccarthy books... something will jump out at you.

The bass player Perry is from the Chicago area. and Phil has DJ-ed some Mod skin weekenders here. I don't know why they don't play Chicago. I guess cus it can get pretty goofy at shows here. I saw them once in St. Louis and had to fight a group of Chicago guys to do so. That would explain why they don't come here I guess? But yea they are rad. Not to be a know it all but the original lineup had 2 whiteboys and then Phil. Carl and Phil basically ARE the Templars. The other guys are just players in their show. Carl also has some cool side projects. Stamford Bridge is his current one. It's almost Powerpop. It's pretty good.

The funny thing about tattoos is no matter how good or bad they are the only thing that matters is that you like the ones you have.

If you are of the male gender, when you piss... this is what you look at in my bathroom. and to make the ladies uncomfortable...

If I had of known that ICP played a show at a venue I frequent in SF I would have gone. All dolled up and everythang.

Thank you to everyone who has posted in this thread. I thought now would be a good time for a first post. This is a photograph from my Daniel Higgs collection I thought people may not have seen before. It was done in Newport, South Wales on September 24th 2003, the night that Lungfish played at TJ's. It was done in the backstage area and was whitewashed within a day or two. I received the photo through the show promoter. Also, Daniel signed my Doomsday Bonnet a few weeks ago, it was a great experience.
