You guys have heard of Scott Sylvia, right? Believe it or not, he's fairly easy to book with.

My girl just started this over the weekend. Mike Moses, Thicker Than Water Tattoo, NYC. This guy is consistent blowing my mind with his illustration skills. (Photo courtesy of Mr. Moses' iPhone.)

Depends on what type of tattoo you were interested in getting. Most of these folks are able to do just about anything, but they do specialize. Are you looking for an American traditional piece? A Japanese style? Something just plain weird? You can run the gamut in San Francisco with some of the best tattooers in the world.

Not actually. The reason dark skin doesn't "take" color is that tattoo ink is placed below the layer of skin that contains the natural pigment. The color is in effect being shown thru a filter tinted by the skins pigment. Depending on the warm or cool values of the skin you can determine what colors will show up best. Example yellows don't show well in warm skin tones.

P.s. New t shirt idea I joined LST and all I got was banned

Im way too awkward when people ask me about any of my tattoos to progress onto my lower arms. Im fine having my torso/upper arms done, but cant see ever moving down to the forearms. I think you are good to start anywhere but neck/hands. Warped Tour body suits are no bueno.

Sure, but I can tell you-you're definition of "different and weird" is probably not the same as mine. Weird to me is Dave Lumm, Jeff Rassier, Scott Harrison

it's worth every penny :D So are his rates IMO, I can't wait until it's my turn.....

Anybody at Black Heart can make this happen!

Welcome to LST.....do we get to see your tattoos?

Tomorrow is my next session - YAY!!

Awesome. Fu Manchu next week for me.

You're stoked!! Actually, I'm stoked for you!! :D

Contact him now: https://www.facebook.com/GrimesBlackClaw Personally, I think Lango gets slept on at that shop, so check him out, or any of the other awesome shops in the Bay Area (Blackheart, Temple,etc.) Besides, San Francisco is definitely one of the nicest/coolest/interesting places in California and worth the trip on it's own.

Without a doubt I would go sit with Jess Yen Horiyen:

If you call Skull & Sword and tell them when you are coming....the worst they can do is say Grime is booked up! I have heard of people walking in though and getting tattooed there....probably all the planets aligned or something BUT if I were you I would call and ask! You may be asked for a deposit though but it will definitely be worth the money! And if he can't....there are a ton of great tattooers in the area! Good Luck!

the Lucero show was one of the best nights out I've had in ages. Even though I'm a square. :D

I love ass cobras!

I played a show and they had free pizza. I stole 5 boxes of pizza and ate it all week. Now I hate pizza.

The ol' tiger on the ribs! I'm a big fan.

Melvins/Unsane later this week.

I will interpret your post the way I want to, which is that you wonder what barbecued vegans taste like. I mean, most of them are grass fed, free range specimens, right?

well the story sounds completely fabricated to me. So, I did a google search for tattoo shop car accidents in California and came up with none. There was a shop in Ohio where a female former employee ran her can into the shop on purpose. I do believe this is a completely made up story and so is the tattoo. Get a life trolls. I also like how he says 'look at my profile to see my other ink' or something like that. He has no photos on his profile.

if you get a bible tattoo, then that'll cover all the verses

no one else is using this? ya'll are so 20th century

merauder - life is pain. done by brandon montero

That is a great story, thanks. Dead Milkmen were a great overlooked band.

the original singer of the dead milkmen lives up here in spokane..moved up here a long time ago, sadly he has parkinsons disease really bad..he used to come into the shop i worked at and get tattooed with important memories of his life...cbgb...dm...cool jew..stuff like that...well we were grabbing drinks one day after he got tattooed and asked if he would tattoo the dm logo on us...well after a few more drinks he was in....said it was the coolest thing that has happened to him in a long ass time...haven't seen him in awhile so hopefully he is still around and kickin...great guy with cool ass stories..here's a pic of his first tattoo ever...
