I'm at the stage where who am I to judge ? I dont like the thought of disease being spread and unhygenic practices , but those tattoos are punk as fuck . lol .
Love drum n bass myself and love ed rush / no uturn , tech itch , think all that skullstep gein cooh cv has gone a bit mad now . More interested in dark minimalist stuff like rockwell, sabre, loxy, data etc
Brotherhood of the bomb is so good, so is "bad blood" by ICE. Amazing how Broaderick and Mick Harris (Scorn) both predated and helped form the dubstep sound , and the both done time in Napalm Death
Anyone been to any of these live art battles , too good. Theyve changed their name to Secret Walls too -
thesecretwalls
For anyone thats not aware - its a live art battle with the following rules :
90 minutes on the battle clock
Only black SW special markers and black acrylic paint can be used as battle weapons
No pencils / sketches should be on stage or used as reference
Each artist has to stay within the allocated space, if they creep over then there will be a 1 point deduction
Battles are judged by 2 nominated and neutral guest judges + crowd vote (3 point system) (using a decibel reader)
Hosted on giant white walls
Pure fun . I think theres an event in New York

There was always people with tattoos where I grew up , mostly home made blurs on their forearms or old guys with hand tattoos ... The first tattoo I saw that kinda made me go wow was on one of my Fathers friends. My dad was a bigot and involved with the Orange Order and when I was really young he used to take me fishing with his pals (ie a bunch of guys hire a boat and get pished drunk for the day - it was back in the 70's where drinking and driving and driving a boat whilst looking after a 10 year old was acceptable ....) He got one of his pals to show me his back and it was a huuuge back piece of King William III on his white charger crossing the Boyne and a banner with some suitably sectarian bullshit underneath!! Kinda like something youd see painted on a wall in Belfast .... I hate everything that it represents but its was a fuckin wow tattoo that stuck in my mind all these years!!
