I am in the process of cleaning/clearing my house out and was cleaning off some of my alters when I rediscovered all sorts of old gems. One particular piece I thought some here would enjoy is an old unused Temple Tattoo Gift Certificate from I think when the shop first opened. I have included pictures below.... What tattoo shop and/or tattooer collectibles have you gathered?

Had this done by Morten at Electric East Tattoo yesterday. Fun little zap that was over in a jiffy. Check out his blog: CUSTOM TATTOOING BY TRANE

Flyer Chris Conn sent out to shops when he started working at Tattoo City. This one was sent to Deluxe Tattoo in Portland, dug it out awhile back and found a frame for it.

I just realised there is no (solo) ODB in this thread yet! RIP Dirt Mcgirt! (ok seriosuly I got shit to do, be back later lol)

I'm from Texas, so I have to rep my hometown heroes, UGK: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-IS2js72WI When Pimp C pours salt on the cow? Come on! Unfuckwithable. And since I live in SF, I'll rep the Bay with Too $hort: I'll try to play nice in this thread, since I've DJed hip-hop (and Jamaican music) since the 90s and am very, very opinionated when it comes to the rapps. :)

This thread is dope. @dcostello your the fucking man for starting this thread. Nuff said. ^^ I lost my shit the first time I saw this clip! Aged 13/maybe 14, up late, high as fuck watching RAGE (Music program here in Oz) Labcabincalifornia is still one of my favourite albums and FINALLY got to see them live a few years back @ Good Vibrations http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cP0wsET8__Y ^ ILL. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMd0gbrXceI ^ unfukwitable classic. I shall be back later ;)

this thread has blown up, i had to go back because i missed some from when i was posting the last batch here's a few more http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QdgC6w0gL4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-28zxHVFMAU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IMs3XDHVus

And here is my contribution ;) Starting off with the mother fuckin' Genius! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwjILuYiBuY&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKCDg76yQbY (it was a toss up between ^this, Labels and Animal Planet... tough choice) Add a dash of Dilated: A sprinkling of some of the finest: And a little bit of Australian stuff for you (My homie Dontez on the hook): And this is one of the acts I manage. Track is old (from 2005) but the clip is still dope for the $2500 budget we had (called in ALOT of favors) And this track from the crew I just fucking dig ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6dmpWt2_dE

Apparently we all love hip hop... and good shit to boot. Glad I get drunk and make threads.

Serious bangers.

@Ursula - That Suite for Ma Dukes is amazing! Cheers for posting it, I'm a tad disappointed in myself for only finding this now though ;) @JAllen - Chino and Doc Oct. for the win ;) (When Kool Keith came out last year, me and a mate where his driver/tour guide. Dude was a champion! First thing he said "Yo! I need to get some Trojans and Chicken. Where KFC at??!!")

Have you all seen Suite For Ma Dukes? It's an orchestra playing j-dilla songs. It's pretty amazing.

THE Classic.

Awesome song and one of the best videos ever an this here is one of my all time favourite songs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=2ee5YdEOS3E

and i finished this one today , hurrah for eagles!

When Rubendall was flipping through his art, I saw a Pushead print I've been chasing for YEARS. And he hasn't even framed it. The horror. The horror. Re: The Corbin episodes. Can't wait. I dropped off some old video of him to the VICE offices for use in the episodes and chatted with the producer about "what comes next". Not to give anything away without permission, but they HAVE shot footage for what could be season two. I had heard about it while getting tattooed earlier in the day; not sure Chris would have told me if I didn't mention it. But it will end up being iconic footage, and if they don't use it... I'll drive back to brooklyn and demand he at least leak it on the internet.

Been jammin this lately.

Post images of things and people that you find rad, gnarly, far-out or inspirational. I'll go first... [images removed after they became broken..]

Project Blowed is one of the greatest things to happen to hip hop.

How can we have so many people from the Bay and not have more from the Bay? And some New York for you East Coasters.

Speaking of- Trailer hit for the Corbin episodes... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coqQyEDrV0k Tattoo Age: Freddy Corbin « Occult Vibrations

the master of the metaphor just in case anybody forgot http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxAEXUyGM94 and a few from the dirty south ya'll http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZJW-rkVKFE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oj16wlZIC9c&feature=related

pretty impressed this thread took off the way it did.

holy shit! seriously, those first 2 fat boys albums and first 2 run dmc albums were the first albums i bought with my own money from mowing grass. i was in 4th grade and used to walk to the record store next the chinese restaurant that we'd eat at all the time.

@Iwar it shall be done my friend ;) And from now on, any LST members who don't blog their tattoo travels possibly faces the all mighty ban hammer of doom. (not sure where @hogg is right now, but I do know he just got a warm fuzzy feeling, he's not exactly sure what it was from, but he does know it has something to do with possibly flexing his ban hammer muscle ;))

Detroit stuff for me- JDilla, Black Milk, Royce da 5'9, Guilty Simpson and Dabrye: Lately, I've been listening to Main Attrakionz from Oakland (heard about them through the MishkaNYC site): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkfjkCBBSB4&feature=related

I'm 45, heavily tattooed, and have a good paying career where it won't matter if I get hand or finger work done. I know exactly what I want on my hands and fingers, but I won't feel like I've earned it yet until I get some other spots done first.

heres my tattoo from mario from the convention and a chad panther head i got

Tattoo Forum | Last Sparrow Tattoo heres one i did two weeks ago, finished it in 1 sitting, he was one tough geezer

I was hoping Sarah McLachlan was going to pop-up at the end of that video, holding a Juggalo "Call or join online right now and you'll be set-up with a subscription to Tattoo Age on VBS and a link to Last Sparrow Tattoo Forum. Right now, there's a tattoo artist who's willing to help-your call says "I'm finally ready to pay for a decent tattoo""
