thanks Tammy!

thanks! i'll be researching more heavily on tattooing within native tribes here in California, as there is a significant lack of published research on the subject. i want to investigate if native tattooing further influenced the development of tattooing here in the state considering it's widespread practice amongst 41 tribes. i've really just cracked the surface so i've got my work cut out for me!

what's everyone's opinion on this? i know there are some artists out there that feel that if one artist bases their design off of another artist's work, that is stealing. however, almost every artists incorporates the use of designs that have been used for many, many years. what's the difference to you (if there is one)? since i'm not an artist, only a client, i'm just curious to hear what everyone thinks.

Hello friends and welcome to Last Sparrow Tattoo
MsRad commented on Scott Sylvia's blog entry in Scott Sylvia's Interviews, Articles, and Blogs
nevermind, i found it! i guess i'll be one of those turds someday (what can i say, i'm a sucker for school), but hopefully a little less of one because i'll have a collection of ink and some personal stories. at least it won't be in anthropology. -
so i'll be headed to Chicago next week (oct 5-11) and i thought i'd ask if anyone had any recommendations for things to check out and do. i'll be going to Riot Fest all 5 nights so my evening plans are set, but i'll be there by myself and with lots of time to explore the city during the day. i think i'm pretty set as far as museums go, but i have no clue on where to go for good record shopping, used clothing, thrifting or anything else fun. i would love to get tattooed while i'm there, but unfortunately, i don't think i'll have the money to do so. any suggestions?

hi Lochlan! i did see the interview with Sammy and that's what brought me here. i have some hardcore pictures from when i was in highschool that i want to scan, but it's been a while since i've shot anything at a show. now i mainly use a 6x7 and a 4x5 camera and shoot subjects with historical/social significance. i'm pretty shy about showing my work but i do have some images of Sammy (ABO days) so maybe i'll scan and post those. i would love to start a blog about my research (and yes, new found passion) about tattoo history here in California. i work at the OMCA and so far our exhibition has gone through two approval stages with flying colors, and now we're up for funding for further research. we really want to collaborate and have community involvement with this exhibition, but that will depend on if we pass the funding stage. i'll keep anyone who's interested posted. we should know by early/mid november.

i only asked because i really like it. it's very simple, but i love how your signature (or i'm assuming that's what it is since you feature it on several of your other paintings) is at the top and almost looks like a little crown.

wow! Deb, it sounds like you've led a fantastic life.
-
hi Bill! for those of us who are collectors, maybe you could do a blog on pigments? i'd be intersted in knowing more about what's in them.
-
Hi Lefty! you've definitely already made a great impression :)
-
Hi Bunny! Are you still currently collecting?

hi Calbee! i'll be in Chicago next week for riot fest and it sounds like we may have some things in common (i have a BFA in photography). i'm going by myself, so if you're interested in maybe grabbing some coffee and shooting the shit, maybe we could meet up?
-
your work looks great Dano!

Hello to everyone! I'm Robin. Before anyone get's the wrong impression, I like McRad, I'm a girl, and my initials are RAD (yes I'm serious). I'm not full of myself I swear! I'm pretty much a shy, nerdy girl who likes hardcore, photography, and tattoos. I work at a museum, and while it's not always fun, it's usually pretty rewarding. I've been researching about tattoo and body modification history in California over the last 3 weeks so I can't complain too much. I'm slowly getting more and more tattoos. I've got 8 right now, including two that were done by Scott on the back of my arms over 3 years ago. I keep working on getting more coverage, but I'm a slow poke. Hopefully this year will be different.
