It's up n workin Marcus Kuhn's - The Gypsy Gentleman - Home

I use the Morimoto method with steaks- I get a dry aged ribeye, put the cast iron skillet over a high flame and let it sit. And sit. And sit. Little oil (he uses rapeseed, I use whatever I have on hand) until it's smoking- then I cook it about two minutes on each side. Crispy on the outside, raw in the middle.

@ChrisvK Nobody believes you when you say you don't want to be a tattooer. But like everyone else says, practice. Practice, then practice some more. Here's a golden nugget: Doodling requires you to repeat shapes with your hands. Drawing requires you to use your mind more than your hands. Good luck.

Red Ink hurts the most.

Then take look at this "Spencer Kmyta" tattoo And compare it to the original @Valerie Vargas tattoo which he obviously tried to rip off It's like the second picture in his online portfolio! The fucking nerves on this dude.... Same thing happened to @Stefan Johnsson a little while back (different hack though)

I think it's my same list as last year: 1. Palms 2. faces junk.

Well this thread should get some of us motivated.. http://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/lst-announcements-contests/1771-monthly-contest-best-tattoo-month-january-2012-a.html#post25698

I'll cheers to that

Integrity is great and important. I think you can still have it and do something like this but it can be hard. Still you cant retire or support your family on integrity. Good on Oliver.

I know a bartender who'll trade a comp'd shot for an AA token. So.... edge tattoo gets you a PBR?

I was in Pittsburgh, PA this week and ended up at a MEGA grocery store called "Giant Eagle Market District". I think Giant Eagle is a chain, but Market District marks it as a more upscale Wegmans/Whole Foods kind of joint. They had black truffles, and I mean pungent little fuckers, for $12 a pound. In Philly, they're between $300 and $600 a pound. I shit you not. It must have been a mistake on their part. That said, I picked up a handful of the som'bitches and packed em in rice for the ride back to Philly. I also picked up a pound of python meat. Just cause... seriously... how can you not? I made use of a few of the truffles tonight in a pork sausage. Porcini, Crimini and Black Truffle with majoram, black pepper and parsley. I'm letting them air cure right now for the casings to tighten up a bit, but lordie-lou they're already nice and pungent with that amazing fungi odor. I saved two truffles for either mac'n'cheese, deviled eggs or steak & foie gras. I'm going to have my friend up there stalk the fungus section and if they stay $12/lb, have her stock up for me!

I have a total tiger tattoo fetish the now and you cant get much better than those on you Hogg, simply stunning !
