I meant to put Chris Smith in here before. He tattoos at Deluxe Tattoo in Chicago and also makes machines I think (Workhorse Irons))? I think he does some really clean-looking, bright tattoos. I am almost sorry I went ahead with Japanese chest plates when I see these kinds of trad front pieces:- I like his big cat heads too. His (not updated very often) blog: Being dead looks retarded

It's only a matter of time. It's cheap to make with a tried-and-tested formula. People like to watch it and people LOVE to talk about it. That's why this type of programming has flooded the schedules over the last 5-10 years. Tattoos are just the most recent application of the formula. Right now, as I type there's a reality/contest show with a wedding theme on the tv, next it's probably cooking or someone's children. Crappy tattoos are the tip of the amoral tv iceberg. I'm still waiting for The RunningMan to hit the schedules for real. I'm just left thinking - A conversation about how good something is lasts 5 minutes. A conversation about how bad something is can last hours.

My favorite part is when Chris Nunez said, "That tail is too small to propel the koi's head." I love that critiques included details like hydro-propulsion theory.

Start my back piece tomorrow:cool::cool:....so excited!!!

Richard said the same thing about the koi before Nunez pointed it out.... Then he said over half of everybody that tattoos NOW don't look at the shit they are doing... Without being PC I think both black dudes should go home then the girls.... Some of those tattoos were down right retarded, and I hope that Oliver makes just about everyone cry. GOOD TIMES! I'll take a top chef tat show over a reality tattoo shop, at least people won't be like "I know how they do it at that shop Miami Ink, sooo...." And I will say I didn't and don't watch Miami Ink, LA Ink, or the like... If turning the channel and helping ratings will help our friend, fuck it... I am always on the look out for stuff to make haterade out of, or at least a good laugh.

Fuck Dave Navarro nuff said.

I imagine Drake's "enforcers" look something like this

@Iwar or anyone else just so you guys know @Barbie Doll books travel and from my experience with her booking travel she beats any deal I've found. I know other LSTers use her for travel as well....

like this koi?

For Al Fliction, duh.

Ahahahahaha I didn't even notice. I bet the guy who got that is gonna be bummed that his portrait is so inaccurate.

Got this a week ago from Scott Sylvia at Blackheart on my forearm Pictures don't do it justice at all the colours are much more vivid and it looks a lot sharper in person, and its a bit warped in these as i tried to take the photos myself, but you get the idea

You have obviously never hear of snow http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtILxBszyf8

I'll definitely be watching the show, it's like a reality TV version of the Worst tattoo EVER! section on this forum.

Maybe it's a Catatafish:

Specifically for @dcostello and the long lost @MsRad

@Iwar - not sure if this will help but this site may have what you need ;) Vacation rentals, private rooms, sublets by the night - Accommodations on Airbnb or agoda.com: Discount Hotel Reservations Worldwide - Smarter Hotel Booking! or Wotif.com: hotels, accommodation, motels, serviced apartments, B&B - Online hotel bookings with instant confirmation or hotels.com | Cheap Hotels, Discounts, Hotel Deals and Offers or Expedia Travel: Vacations, Cheap Flights, Airline Tickets & Airfares ;) hope these help homie (I know others, I'll hit you up with them a little later)

Lol. Ok I had to watch this before making a comment... 1. In the intro where the voice over guys says (in a menacing voice) "... Ten of the worlds top tattooers blah blah blah..." This is clearly flagrant false advertising. (any lawyers on here have any advice on what could be done? haha) 2. That Jeremy dude needs a slap upside the head... and Oliver should give it to him. My limited understanding was that the majority of Japanese tattooers had been tattooing full back pieces with their clients on their stomachs for a rather long time? My bad... lol. 3. I will admit that the best part was the judging. some of those 'tattooers' got rightfully pwned. Thanks to whoever posted the link so that any non-americans could have a good laugh.

@Jennifer Stell richard spoke about hydro-propulsion theory?

i smell drinking game.

I think it was about as many times as Oliver said "tats" in his SPT interview!!

I know this isn't a tattoo, but couldn't resist....

Holy fuck is that an actual tattoo from the show??????? That's fucking awful.

all that could be said about it is allready said by the people who commented above me, but for those interested in watching the first episode here it is: Ink Master | Tattoo Competition Reality Show | Full Episodes | Spike | Fresh Meat | Season 1 | Free Full Episodes | Spike

You know what.... TIME shows you either know how to get it done, and you do, or you don't... Oliver is a fast tattooer, he was taught that way. besides a time limit also shows who does stuff out of the comfy zone well and who doesn't... like the dude that could draw the Fu dog but couldn't tattoo it... I'll watch it, Oliver is family. I'm proud... side note: pointing out problems with the tattoos educates everyones future clients.... my two cents

Not sure if this counts, but someone just texted me this picture...

Dude, this is the second time you've brought up some derogatory shit about black folks. First time was in the knuckle tattoo thread (http://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/tattoo-101/244-knuckle-tattoos-best-youve-seen-your-current-fav-page12.html).. It's not about "being PC" it's about not spreading negativity or racism just to be funny or get a rise out of people.. I'm sure you joke with your friends about some things, and when I'm around my good friends, we talk a lot of bullshit about pretty much everything, but we know the limits of what's considered funny within our group.. and that's probably where you should keep your love of ignorant knuckle tattoos and whatever else you wanna do to "continue the hatred." I'm sure you didn't mean anything by it –– I'm hoping you didn't mean anything by it –– but it's tough to see through that kind of bullshit on the internet.

i put this on a guy when i first came to berlin and was doing a guest spot at fuer immer. the appointment was booked before i arrived, and i was a little unsure if i should do, because, believe it or not, the drawing he had brought in was of even lower quality. after some contemplation and discussing it with one of the owners who said he would probably do it, i decided to do it. when the customer came in, i asked him about his design. in poor english he explained that his old roommate had painted it on his shower curtain years ago and he loved the image. he didn't seem retarded, so i went for it. he came back to me a few months ago for another tattoo, which was also weird, but maybe not as weird, and says he still loves the penis. also, his english seems to have improved.

Had this done today on the front of my thigh. Sailor Jerry design. Tattooed by Stewart Robson, Frith Street, London.

^ yeah, awesome tattoos in this thread. forgot to mention, stell was doing a guest spot at rock of ages. didn't see a way to edit my post...

Kind of. They came in and pretended like they had an appointment with me. And then whispered sweet nothings into my ears to the likes of "nobody in the state of California is going to hurt Drake". At some point during this conversation, I pulled my knife out of my pocket and they left.

got this a week ago richard stell

From the edge of the internets...

In Tokyo, I've only gotten tattooed by my friend Megu (Megumu Kamata | Facebook), who also works at Invisible in New York. He did the black and gray fine-line lady head. I think he's very good and has a very unique perspective on tattooing. He works in Japanese style too. I got my latest tattoo the snake rip from Bailey Hunter Robinson in New York last December. I got the tiger from Sara Schor, also in New York about two years ago... Alas my tattoos aren't very "Japanese"!

Wow, great I have someone in Tokyo to join me in what has been my daily solo meet ups. What part of Tokyo are you living in and who has tattooed you?

I second all this.

Aubrey Drake Graham | Facebook if he ever does show up, make sure to call him aubrey instead of drake. actually it'd be even better if you sued him for making threats

In all seriousness, Snow has some joints. All I can find is a snippet online, but I love this 45: Snow - Dancing Alone

Snow is my favorite Canadian rapper ever.

I'm Canadian and I can assure you, "gangsters" here are soft as fuck. I also thought it was ridiculous to say oh i really want to meet the girl but the dude who did it is a fucking asshole. So if it's cool for the girl to get it then how isn't it cool for him to do the tattoo? She's just as dumb for getting it as he is for doing it......... I would watch a video of Kevin fighting Drake hahaha

I forget who did this one; I photographed it at the APP conference and didn't write down the artist. Little bit of pigment loss, but impressive for blue.
