He's not a prison tattooer. The person getting the tattoo is not a con. Prison tattooers do not have the luxury of wandering around shops or finding disgarded VCRs, when gathering parts to build their machines. It's tattooed in a park. I assume Scott Cambell is not using prison type pigment. It dosn't look like a prison tattoo. But it does look like a load of pretentious tosh. Watching a tattooing sequence from the "The Mark of Cain" is far more interesting.

The twenty-first (this is actually the one year birthday for LST being live) could work for me as of now though I gotta goto helLA around that time for work but dates aren't set yet......

*Cough *Cough. Just kidding pal. Pick where you want to meet and we shall go. Since you are coming here from Europe and all...

I've seen/worked over lazer, with positive results, from: Tattoo UK (Rayners Lane) - multiple customers Laserlife (Baker Street) - one customer Cult Classic (Romford) - multiple customers I was super-impressed with the way Joe at Cult Classic dealt with the skin before and after the treatment. Some of my clients/customers have had laser work at other places with varying degrees of success, some with no success at all.

I'm about to sign up to get Regino Gonzalez at Invisible to get a lady head on my bicep.

Would it be an idea to maybe send out an "LST anniversary get together" email to forum members in case not everyone sees this thread?

SoA just hit Netflix Instaview Seasons 1-3.

If we dont we are all very, very silly people.

Tiger john is a really nice dude.

we've got a bottle of daves at the shop that is at least 15 years old and barely any of its gone. usually we give people a tiny drop on a tooth pick when they say they like hot stuff. very few take it well

Welcome Dan....drove by modesto signs the other day up the five

You are correct I must be getting it mixed up with another shop, I think Idle Hand is on Haight, I think I went to both places same day.

would be better with some blair's 3am reserve!

Just said yesterday how much I wanna visit Austin.

Austin fuckin rules.

Funny you say that I've been told that quite a lot recently. Two of my buddies live in Austin now. While Texas will be a place that I will buy a house in the next couple of years, I'm not too sure if I will live there just yet. I'll be back there again for work soon and maybe get a new opinion but Cali looks awesome so far (weather wise it is EXCELLENT!)

Owls are one of the most interesting (and cute) and intriguing animals alive...welcome to the forum!

yea ive seen you around Trixie and its nice that you decided to introduce yourself and to talk a little bit about yourself. who cares if there was an owl trend, you got it because you wanted it and thats all that matters!

@Iwar, Scott did this one on me around January/February.

I wasn't going to post these until it was completed, but I thought "fuck it, why not" and now you guys can see how the cover up progresses :cool: These are the best photos I could get after the first day in Kyoto (6hrs) I still have to get photos of the second day, which completed all the background on the upper arm. Everything is now nearly healed so I'll get some new ones soonish. Apologies for the dodgy photography but I'm pretty sure I was still vibrating haha

i love how someone from the "washington institute of laser surgery" is attacking tattooing and they don't even laser correctly. typical politics.

Mike Nomy for the WIN !!

My dental hygienist caught a glimpse of my wrist the other day and said, "What's your art?" I should've said, "Romance!"

Okay, here's the update. Hotstuff and Panther by Scott Sylvia. Kewpie and White Tiger by Bryan Burke. Both tattoos were done in 2 sittings, black in one sitting, color in the next. Scotts side was about 5 1/2 hours. Bryans side was 4 1/2 hours total. I started Bryans side first but finished Scotts side first. I lagged on Bryan and was procrastinating getting it finished a bit because Scotts side hurt so bad. Bryan actually had to call me up and be like, "we finishing this tattoo we started or what?". Sorry Bryan. Both these guys are quick as can be and for a painful spot like the ribs I really appreciated that. I gotta say the second sitting with Scott i was feeling a little nauseous and almost ready to tap out towards the end. Scott hurt more!

Oh god Gouge. I want to murder stuff when I notice some look at my tattoos and then start talking loudly about how they wanna get all tatted up. Usually it's dudes that are just trying to look cool in front of the tattooed chick and usually I laugh in their face 'cause that's how I roll. So I'm at work right now and someone just touched my arm and said "you're all marked up arnt you" I said yup I've got a couple. Her reply "do they come off?" "no" " you mean you're stuck with that forever!?" "yup"

When someone says "nice work", I immediately know they have a great eye for the "ink" aesthetic. They should just fart on my salad and get it over with. With all due respect, the concept of an exclusionist dialect for "tatterz only" is about as "awesome" as the fact that a bud of mine was not allowed to buy an issue of TAM that his "sik work" was in. Multiple times. In one issue. Wait, my disgusting ass is going to be in an upcoming issue. I'll guess I'll have to kiss some "fantastic" "ink under the pink artiste" ass to get a hold of an "amazing" issue. All tattoos are "amazing." I am an "amazing collector." I hate language. I hate tattoos. God Bless.

David, I'd probably make you nuts, I intentionally overuse awesome all day long. It's actually intentional, it's like a personal joke between me and myself, I do know that it drives some people crazy. It's almost like how some people judged and discounted me 25 yrs ago when I got my nose pierced, I know that some people make a judgement about me for saying "that's totally awesome" all day long. Got to keep the haters away somehow. I also like to say hecka. You should try it, just for one day, you might find that you also enjoy the awesome lifestyle.

saw somone online today use 'toos how lazy can you be, just type the extra letters and make it tattoos.. my biggest cringe though is people who spell it tattoo's there's no apostrophe in the word!!!!!!!!!! Learn how to spell your own trade!!! And of course the obvious ones that have been mentioned - tatt gun, leg sleeve, tatted up, tattys.... I think the next asshole who tells me I'm all tatted up might get a dick/vagina punch. Actually I'm gonna also add another.. Don't tell me I'm all tatted up or 'damn you gots all kind of tatts' because I FUCKING KNOW I HAVE TATTOOS THEY ARE ON ME.

A tattoo shop should only and always be referred to as "Ye Olde Tattzappery."

I really would like to see a collective effort on LST to start promoting SQUIDS/SQUIDDLING. Anyway, Tats and tat-guns remain the worst in my book.. I don't know what's worse though, getting asked about "my tats" from folks with no visible tattoos or folks who are covered. I almost like LEG SLEEVE simply because it sounds like a euphemism for some kind of weird, cozy, leg love.

The one I really hate is tats

Though we had a brief flirtation with trying to get Fratbros (fratbroz?) to call tattooers "Squids" cause they "fuckin shoot ink, man"... but that never really worked out. Would have loved to send in a bro to one of my friends and have them address him as a Squid. Haha
