Cock tattoo. Tattooed by Emiliano Liberatori, Frith Street

My wife was in today getting her neck tattooed by Stefano C. It's a bit red and sore looking where its been shaded, but he's done a fantastic job

There's cock tattoos and there's cock tattoos ... You're getting the bird, right?

Waiting for the train. My last tattoo of 2011. I'm getting a cock tattoo.

Its because you are secretly communist.

I would have thought a thread called "Stupid ways I have injured myself" would have more stories about drinking than working out. I must be out of touch.

Yeah. That just happend. BAM.

I don't feel that his apology is sincere, since much like myself I doubt he thinks it's necessary. Thomas is, for want of a better word, a 'public figure' now and I reckon he doesn't want his brand tarnished by other people's ignorance. So it's probably just easier to 'apologize' than to educate.

Can't wait show my cock off at the office.

BANHAMMER.

How do we know she didn't get this tattoo for The Drake?

Im personally hoping for the other cock.

@Gregor Thin Lizzy a guilty pleasure!? Dude...

Come on guys. That puppy looked very capable of peeing on a leg and/or chewing up a shoelace. I can see why one might be frightened

In my experience most of the "famous" tattooers I've met have been super nice people. Oliver, Tim, Scott, Rassier, Lehi, Juan, Darren Brass, Mike Wilson, I know there's more I can't remember at the moment, none of them were rude, or acted like a big man on campus when I met them. Oliver actually really surprised me by remembering who I was after meeting me once and not seeing me for a year or two after that. I am one of the many who has tattooer their initials onto his arm. He was super hospitable every time I've been to Dallas and has treated my fiancé (a tattooer) really really well and given him great opportunities to work at his shop. Tim was also super nice to me even though I unknowingly had creeped him out earlier haha. Mike Wilson has given more to me and my fiancé then we could ever thank him for. So basically I don't think getting even more crazy famous is going to make Oliver untouchable to those who really want to get tattooed, just might take a little longer.

Made a Jamie Oliver recipe last night for pork belly tacos. Fried them in paprika along with haricot beans, served on corn tacos (store-bought) with greek yoghurt and a salsa of ripe tomato and avocado diced.

Found another one...

Babs and Dari sent me over here. i guess i sort of felt overwhelmed by all the arguing/debating that was happening on here, and on top of that, i had school and homework so i wanted to focus on that.

@jade1955 Why the Hell not, you probably weren't planning on getting your thumbs tattooed in 2011 either I'd bet.;)

@Scott R most I've just met at conventions or things like that. I haven't had a chance to get tattooed by a lot of them, but I hope to! Not too many cool tattooers come to Canada too often, and lately I've been stuck here.

MGBLues- thats discusting right! Ever since i saw the b&g of james briggs I wanted him to do a back piece and maybe leave the front for some color. I have seen some stuff on this forum that makes me question everything lol

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAAHHAHAHHAHA Seriously I did laugh just like this!

this is a fascinating documentary that i highly suggest watching. it blew my socks off. all the stills in the trailer are photos he takes of his 'world', and are just as amazing as the stuff he's making. watch this

Got my girlfriend a Stephen Wiltshire print for Christmas. He's an unsual guy. An an autistic child growing up, he didn't speak, but used art materials to communicate. Over time it became clear he was both a talented artist and someone who had an unusually good visual memory. He's best know for drawing street scenes and city panoramas from memory, using fine-line black pens. The Stephen Wiltshire Gallery - Drawings, paintings and prints Bought her a print of the Toronto skyline (it's a city we visit together a lot). What I really want, though, is one of the big panoramas ... Tokyo, ideally.

Just get more tattoos!

I have Baphomet on my left hand. So unless I'm wearing gloves I pretty much always have to rock the 'uncomfortable looks/questions' risk every time I talk to people. A little kid asked me once if it was "The Devil". Instead of getting all wordy, I said "yeah, because the DEVIL IS COOOOL". He smiled, the little scamp. Even kids love the dark lord.

One day at the shop this chick was telling us we should pay to tattoo her. We said the only way it would happen was if the artist got to put his signature one her. She said she would do it if we gave her twenty bucks. We said that for twenty bucks we would have to sign her and her friend. They both did it... Not the worst tattoos I have ever seen - just the worst decision.

Not sure where else to put this, but since most of the board's parents probably check this thread, I figure it's as good a place as any. I was talking to our 2.5 year old daughter the other night. Here's our conversation: said, "You know, when Daddy was little, he had curly blond hair just like yours." She said, "And you had little hands." "That's right! I did have little hands." "And you had toes and feet, too, Daddy." "Right, and I still have toes and feet. They're just bigger. And when you grow up, you'll have bigger toes and feet." Then she replied, "And tattoos!" I laughed and asked what her tattoos will be. "Skulls! And animals." "What kind of animals?" "A donkey! And a turkey. And skeletons!" It was a proud moment. But donkeys and turkeys?

I think it's funny that people still jump on the swastika and don't think twice about a Mjollnir, cross, clovers, runes, 88's or any of the other numerical coded WP gang affiliated stuff. Granted, I'm not seeing any of those symbols in reputable tattooer's portfolios, but I bet people wouldn't raise the stink they do w/ the swastika. There was actually some chick on LA Ink that got Corey Miller to tattoo a Mjollnir on her back because she stated her boyfriend's name was Thor-led to some pretty funny jokes. If I was sitting at a bus stop w/ a hipster sporting a hand poked swastika or a guy looking armored up with black and gray runes, I'd be more wary of the latter. Personally, I know what the symbol means to me and I wouldn't choose to put that out there.

I think the next time, I just wont let somebody with 6000 followers on instagram take a picture of it. Stupid fucking internet.

Got on the computer after a couple of days off and see this story in a few different places. I brought up the topic at the shop and pretty much the consensus was "Everyone gets the tattoo they deserve". I am not sure why anyone would be mad at a tattooer for being a tattooer. I think sometimes people fixate on the artistic aspect of tattooing and getting tattooed by the guys with the names they forget that sometimes it's about providing a service to a customer. This tattoo is sure not for everyone, but she is stoked about it and that is all that should matter.

1) I bet those hinges hurt like f#ck 2) I'm pretty sure there are butt propellers in the 1001 Tattoos book-I'll see if I can find the pic when I get home. That guy is the epitome of getting tattoos for yourself-total opposite of the bro sleeve guys at the gym.

Im not for face tattoos period, but whatever. If someone wants to get something stupid tattooed on their face, who gives a shit. They probably are going to make some life altering decisions that are not tattooed related. There are plenty of kids out their with bullshit neck and hand tattoos who are probably 18 years old and will deal with it the rest of their lives. Im sure 99 percent are not tattoo artist or rock stars, so they will probably have hell to pay finding a job. I believe in freewill, that includes allowing people to make dumb ass decisions. Any grown person should be able to think this decision through.

The greatest thing is, she just came back today to ask about finishing it. She was totally stoked on it, and was wondering about me doing some tip shading and bolding up the lines. She was so pumped on it, and wasn't sure if she should add more because she liked it so much how it was. I just told her that if we fancy it up a bit, she'll be even more stoked. I love making people happy, what an added bonus to an already awesome job I have!

1.) Personal high of 2011? In general, some point during a trip to Japan with my GF - possibly when we were drinking in a little bar called Quasimodo's in Kyoto. The guy who runs it converted his garage into a bar after he retired, and he tends bar and plays jazz records all night. Great scotch selection. In tattooing terms, probably the point at which I had the bulk of my backpiece by Ching finished and I could see how the contrasts were going to pop out. 2.) Personal low of 2011? Probably my GF breaking her hand at a martial arts seminar that I organised. These things happen, but it was pretty lousy because it's the third time she's broken her hand in two years (three different sports, three different kinds of accident). Because I was organising the thing I couldn't drop everything and go off to get it sorted out with her, which was less than ideal. 3.) Best LST Thread? The backpiece thread inspires me. 4.) Worst LST Thread? The Bubbleberry thread got pretty unsightly. 5.) Favorite tattoo (on you): My back, I suppose. I like the homeward bound design on my thigh by Chris Smith (Deluxe Tattoo) also. 6.) Favorite tattoo (on someone else): Tough one. I think probably one of Shige's backpieces - maybe the black and grey one that he did as a tribute to falconry. 7.) Favorite artist? Sorry, a bit boring but probably Shige. I think he is in a league of his own. 8.) Best/Worst movie: Drive = best. The last Resident Evil movie = worst. 9.) Best/Worst album: I didn't buy a single newly released album in 2011 - amazing, I know. I wasn't illegally downloading either... I just had a non- new music year. Listened to a lot of Avett Brothers. 10.) Biggest guilty pleasure: Craft beer. 11.) Best show/concert you did and did not attend: Alison Krauss + Union Station in Dublin - missed it. 12.) Sum up the year in one word: CRUNCH.

1.) Personal high of 2011? Getting accepted to Medic school 2.) Personal low of 2011? resigning from the Fire house 3.) Best LST Thread? Funny picture thread (cheers me up after a shitty night at the squad) 4.) Worst LST Thread? hell if i know 5.) Favorite tattoo (on you): My dad's tattoo followed by the T-rex fossil 6.) Favorite tattoo (on someone else): I wish I could find it.. It's this dark purple dragon huge back piece if i remember correctly, its amazing 7.) Favorite artist? To many to list.. 8.) Best/Worst movie: is the 2nd Sherlock Holmes acceptable?/drive angry (that was this year right? damn I have no life) 9.) Best/Worst album: ugh 10.) Biggest guilty pleasure: Bones.. damnit Booth is mmm.. Excuse me I'll finish this later 11.) Best show/concert you did and did not attend: Drop Kick Murphys Sham Rock-n-Roll was amazing @ the electric factory 12.) Sum up the year in one word: Roller Coaster

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.
