Tattooed in September last year

anyone operating a good laser that "pushes the envelope", will soon find himself in a horrible situation. not all lasers are alike, in fact for tattoo removal, most suck. so who knows what that guy was even talking about. what you should do is do your homework when finding a person to remove your tattoos. check reviews and find someone who's been lasered by that person. you wouldn't let someone tattoo you if you knew of no one that had their work, you could find no reviews, and they had no portfolio would you? its unfortunate, but not many people know how to use the lasers successfully. i guess since none of their friends will show them how or they can't get a hack apprenticeship or they can't learn it on youtube the market is slim pickings. haha. i love it.

I don't have any work from Dave,but saw some of his work on a tattooer in NYC.He used to be a guest artist at a shop in Queens.If you wan't excellent asian style work,he's your man.I also met this girl who had most of her body done by Dave Knight,and was also really nice work.

i love bryan burks eagles. im leaning towards having him do my torso battle royal

found this interesting while visiting tims hendricks blog Saltwatertattoo

Took me a minute to register what this was, then I remembered the whole butterfly vagina "Garage" cover fiasco.

That was fucking awesome! The final words weigh very heavy with "Every second muthafucker I pass on the street has one, hell my Mom has three" and/add more... Very good insight into whats considered mainstream to mainscream, just gotta love this as a whole and very well done study that begs the question of "who does it belong to" and raises questions as to where will it go. Thanks for the treat Cu_Bu

I really can't knock him for that, some old timers did that same thing sometimes not in a trailer how he has but in a van. It may seem strange but kept clean its no different then any building. I'll allow it, but I wouldn't get tattooed by him in his trailer.

@cragdw tell Bert I said "Hi" Sorry, I'm not posting a picture of the tattoo Bert did on me. You'll get an awesome tattoo.

@JAllen Thanks a bunch for that! This is what i love about this forum, people from all over the world know of shops that are within my reach that i never heard of. If it wasn't for forums like this where people actually take time to talk youngsters like me out of going to the first shop they can find, i'd probably have horrible tattoos on my now, instead of one decent one that cost me a few months savings but i'm very happy with. Thank you all for educating me on the fine art that is tattooing:)

The correct answer should probably include the words "Spider" and/or "Murphy's." Am I close?

wish i lived closer to the netherlands King Of Kings Tattoo

Cool pics ,that last fellow is very fortunate to have that clipper ship, but far less so when it came to his name lol.

Life is expensive for a collegestudent so saving enough for a new piece of ink will probably take a while:( but damn her portfolio is amazing. I love the girlhead with dagger on one of her flashsheets, that might be my next leg piece

Cry Baby tattoo. Tattooed by Oliver Peck.

Sorry @dcostello but I got this from Todd Noble yesterday whilst he was guesting at Frith Street. Didn't know what I was getting before I turned up, but he showed me the drawing and we got to it 5 minutes later. Instagram Awesome guy and a pleasure to get tattooed by him

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.

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.

I watched 90% of it, but for some reason the DVR didn't record all of it. (maybe it became self-aware)lol I thought it was pretty good. It was alot better than hearing the sob stories of all the other tattoo shows.......it was actually about tattooing. And it wasn't tattoo school. I don't think they put it on the air thinking that actual tattooers would watch it, so of coarse they Hollywooded it up. I will keep watching just for the FAILS.

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
