Honestly, I don't care how many of you are friends with or know the dude who did it. He never should have done the tattoo. It's shit like that, which gives everyone else a bad name. Doesn't matter how good of a tattooer the dude supposedly is, he just ruined someone's life. For real. Having a band tattoo on your arm or leg that you later regret is one thing. Having it across your entire fucking forehead? Totally horrible. It kind of makes me mad that we can have a heated discussion over weather people should be tattooing hands, where most people say no you shouldn't unless it's a heavily tattooed person who you know. Yet something like this just makes people laugh and think nothing less of the guy who did it. Fuck that. Bad idea on her part, his (tattooers) part, and bad idea on whoever manages that shop for letting it happen. I already think one dude from that shop is total dick, now I kind of think that about two people there. Needless to say, I will never be taking my business there.

1.) Personal high of 2011? Getting engaged. Opening a retail shop with my mother in my hometown. 2.) Personal low of 2011? it was a multiplex of getting denied entry to the USA (where I'd been living for three years and have my dogs, house, fiancé) coupled with the death of my grandfather and a few months later my grandmother. I say this was a multiplex because I came back to Canada for my grandparents and then was unable to return to America, so it was one long shitty event. Not seeing my dogs for almost a year and my fiancé for months on end is fucking shitty. 3.) Best LST Thread? ICP, Random Photos, Hip Hop Thread, full back piece thread 4.) Worst LST Thread? The one where Bubbleberry wrote a novel about how shitty and sad of a person I am. That was pretty tight. (just as a side note, he tried to add me on Facebook a few weeks ago, according to his profile he actually owns a shop in where ever the fuck he lives and he was the one doing those awful tattoos that he claimed his "wife" did. it also appears he has stolen other people's tattoo work and put it on his shop's page. I wish i could meet him so I could kick his balls off, and then show him what a real tattoo is supposed to look like) 5.) Favorite tattoo (on you): Is this tattoos I got this year? If so I guess none cause I didn't really get tattooed except for a little souvenir one. If it just means overall out of everything on me at this point I'd have to go with my back even though it's not done 6.) Favorite tattoo (on someone else): way to hard to choose, nothing instantly comes to mind as 'the one' 7.) Favorite artist? again, there isn't just one person who I could pick. 8.) Best/Worst movie: worst movie I watched all year was "Rubber" total fucking useless bullshit. I can't even believe I watched the whole thing. best movie I watched was ummm.... probably Bridesmaids. 9.) Best/Worst album: No idea.. I'm not even sure if I listened to any new albums this year. I've fallen off the new music band wagon as of late. 10.) Biggest guilty pleasure: these gourmet chocolate bars we sell at my mom's store. They are about 600 calories and taste like it. Headache inducing amounts of sugar. 11.) Best show/concert you did and did not attend: Actually I don't think I attended one show this year. That's what happens with you get stuck in a tiny town in Canada. Oh wait actually I went and saw TV On The Radio and it was amazing. And the worst concert was the opening band for TV On The Radio, Lissie Trully or some shit. Whoever they were, they sucked. 12.) Sum up the year in one word: Frustrating.

If he knew she was high, it shouldn't matter how many times he asked her. He shouldn't have done it.

BEST/WORST of 2011: 1.) Personal high of 2011? Fishing nearly every weekend of the 2011 summer/fall. 2.) Personal low of 2011? I lost some good friends, and some not good ones. Mostly good ones though. 3.) Best LST Thread? ICP THREAD. 4.) Worst LST Thread? I got bored with the hipster thread a while ago. 5.) Favorite tattoo (on you): Its like picking a favorite kid... but eagle chest piece. 6.) Favorite tattoo (on someone else): @hogg and his two tigers... fucking perfect 7.) Favorite artist? Tim Lehi blows me away every year. I scored a High on Fire shirt he drew up this year. I try and wear it every day. 8.) Best/Worst movie: Best: Midnight In Paris Worst: Fast Five (didnt see it, im just guessing.) 9.) Best/Worst album: Best: Chuck Ragan - Covering Ground Most Disappointing: Fucked Up: David Comes to Life 10.) Biggest guilty pleasure: Copenhagen wintergreen and hot wings (at the same time) 11.) Best show/concert you did and did not attend: Did: Sheer Terror Didn't: Powerhouse/Doomsday Device reunion show 12.) Sum up the year in one word: indifferent.

Fuck you all! 1.) Personal high of 2011? Wedding reception #1 party USA rock n roll! 2.) Personal low of 2011? Laid off. Again. 3.) Best LST Thread? SiRbLaZeLoTTTTT! (Ok, the Latest Tattoo one is pretty great..) 4.) Worst LST Thread? Bubbles, but that guy was great for entertainment. 5.) Favorite tattoo (on you): Shit, right now it's the newest, the buffalo head from Bailey. Also super stoked on the stars and dots filler from Andy Perez, mostly because I can't believe I waited so goddamn long to get it mostly corrected. 6.) Favorite tattoo (on someone else): Those Cripwell legs. I know that person isn't on the forum, but shit. SHIT. Also, @abees and @jade1955 get some killer work! ...also Ursula's dude is tough. 7.) Favorite artist? This is way too hard. There are a ton here, but I'm most excited about the newly "found" folks I've been introduced to on here, like Matt Arriola, Bart Bingham, Ron Wells. Stewart Robson. Still riding a small high with my Scott Sylvia tattoo. Bailey is a super funny dude and does flawless tattoos, no matter what your opinion of him is. Robert Ryan has been growing in my brain as someone I have to get tattooed by. All those dudes at Electric. Yeah, this is too hard.. 8.) Best/Worst movie: Best: MUPPETS. Worst: Fast Five (didnt see it, im just guessing.) <<<<< I'll leave this one. 9.) Best/Worst album: Best: I don't know shit about shit. But I've been listening to a lot of Koffin Kats FTW Most Disappointing: Mastodon, The Hunter.. some good tracks but.. I don't know.. kind of a bummer. 10.) Biggest guilty pleasure: That 70s show. Fuck that show... I always watch it.. 11.) Best show/concert you did and did not attend: Did: Descendents, Suicide Machines, X.. also unbelievably pumped for Lucero on Dec. 30th Didn't: Missed Murder City Devils. Again. And again. 12.) Sum up the year in one word: Mess.

1.) Personal high of 2011? i didn't kill anyone 2.) Personal low of 2011? 2011 3.) Best LST Thread? latest tattoo lowdown has been pretty cool 4.) Worst LST Thread? if it was that bad i've already erased it from my memory 5.) Favorite tattoo (on you): i did a small jenson skull and anchor on the inside of my knee for my friend hans that was killed by a drunk driver at the beginning of the year. 6.) Favorite tattoo (on someone else): that horrible slayer tattoo, you know the one...giant, scary, poorly executed, and glorious all at the same time. 7.) Favorite artist? i don't know the guys name but he's an inmate at one of the local state prisons and he makes these incredible and detailed sculptures out of toothpicks, sometimes with moveable parts. thinks like a harley with moving wheels, etc. it's insane! 8.) Best/Worst movie: best: "such hawks, such hounds" or "until the light takes us" worst: anything that was described as "a box office hit" or "wildly entertaining" 9.) Best/Worst album: best: these got played the most: the naked & the famous-passive me,aggressive you --black breath-razor to oblivion ep --mastadon-hunter -- worst: uhhhh....i didn't buy it whatever it was! 10.) Biggest guilty pleasure: smoking way too many american spirits 11.) Best show/concert you did and did not attend: best and only one i did: nashville pussy/supersuckers didn't: eyehategod 12.) Sum up the year in one word: ugh 13.) Best television series since i don't have cable, i hadn't seen "dexter" until this year and watched the first 4 seasons 3 times. i've also watched all the "it's always sunny in philadelphia" series repeatedly all year.

Not really. When you have an abomination like that on you it really doesn't matter how fucking straight it is. Horrible judgement from everyone involved, and I hope like hell that not only is he regretting doing it, but I hope that Norm is regretting taking the photo, and putting it out there for the world to see. Also I have never been a big fan of the world's gone to shit so why shouldn't I just go along with it excuse. That is about the lamest shit ever in my opinion. I have made some bad decisions in my life and I don't think that I am a bad person. I don't think that doing the tattoo makes the guy a bad guy, but it was the wrong thing to do.

You almost just replaced sirblazealot in my signature.

I just got this yesterday...not the best pic

I´ll play! 1.) Personal high of 2011? San Francisco trip by far 2.) Personal low of 2011? Not sure if I want to share that on a public forum 3.) Best LST Thread? Latest tattoo lowdown 4.)

Favorite tattoo (on someone else): @hogg ´s Lehi tigers 7.) Favorite artist? Since I bought IRON WILL earlier this year I´ve been puring over it every other week, so if I have to pick only one I´ll have to go with Grime 8.) Best/Worst movie: I´ve seen a ton of crap this year, but the only good one I can think of at the moment is Red State 9.) Best/Worst album: The best is probably City and Colour - Little Hell. I don´t know which is worst, but I´ll say the Metallica/Lou Reed album even though I haven´t heard a single song from it. 10.) Biggest guilty pleasure: Fuck dude, you had to ask... Okay, I´m sort of enjoying the latest season of Desperate Housewives. I feel like I´m setting the bar pretty high on this one. 11.) Best show/concert you did and did not attend: Not sure. Didn´t attend too many concerts this year unfortunately. 12.) Sum up the year in one word: Pretty, pretty, pretty good. Oh, and I´m adding one: 13.)

My Brooklyn Joe Lieber piece all done and pretty well healed. Tattooed by @Valerie Vargas, Frith Street.

Kevin Killeens old shop on the quays in Wexford Ireland. This shop was right on the harbour, the boats came in 20 feet away. This tattoo is by Kevin as well. He was doin this kind of Dave Lum crazy psychedelic mushroom stuff independently here in the 80s and 90s.

Ha! I was just about to post the same thing. So killer. RIP your T-shirt, though.

Unfortunately I couldn´t get a pantherhead or something to properly cover this one due to the tight space, but I think Marius did a fine job making me hate it alot less.

so he waxed flipped rubbed it down and reversed it onto the other arm in 2 hours? fuck he is good

Chad Koeplinger, last night at Frith Street.

I loved the video, I worked for GTC in Modesto from @ 1990 til @ 1998. I had some good times, Charlie had a lot of stories and I may have heard them all. I went to some of those conventions back then and because of my associations was introduced to a lot of them older cats , Jack ,Freddy, and I cant remember too well but I believe Mike was one of them I met. I was very intimidated by these dudes, I remember Freddy just sort of scared me by his presence. these were pretty hardcore people with a lot of experiences and I had heard about a lot of it from Charlie. It really reminds me of how this business has changed. Its funny, I remember Scott Sylvia had told me that I frightened him the first time I walked in his shop around 89'. Its f#ckin hilarious to me. Honesty and confidence is often frightening. Most of these old cats were pretty straight up, If they said it, they meant it. Thats sort of rare nowadays.FYI, That backpiece in that video of the bullfight and roses is Charlie's. I guess that's about all I've got ,just thought Id drop it. It was a different time.

Gotta say, when dars and stots are done right it makes a world of difference! Be it from empty space or a portion of your arm you got fucked up by someone who, at least at the time, didn't know his ass from a hole in the ground.. or had never even seen stars and dots filler.. So @Perez helped me out by doing some little filler yesterday and trying to get the half of my arm that was starred and dotted and looked like shit back on track. Here are two really terrible photos but I am so pumped that my arm basically looks the way I always thought it should! Can't believe I waited this long to get this done.. Thanks buddy!!

Lifetime Tattoo in Denver was having a Pearl Harbor Day deal yesterday, palm sized Sailor Jerry flash for $41 (for the year Pearl Harbor was bombed). I couldn't pass that deal up from such a good shop. I almost felt guilty getting such a nice tattoo for so little cash (I tipped well) I got this: Sorry, terrible cell phone pic...

Mike Brown was a good man and a good tattooer till the end. I am glad I got to work with him and get tattooed by him and learned how do do proper script from him. He wrote the nicest Saoirse I'd ever seen and I still use it. He was also the kinda fella who would always send people your way and knew the value of a proper introduction. He did some brilliant flash, proper fine line black n grey style.. and some of the best gangster cartoons goin. God bless him. R.I.P.

Johnny Eagles Dublin

As they in Japan Bertomoso Krakkoles. Hai! Mmmmmm, black and grey...
