Oh yeah, I met Erik Estrada while wearing my CHiPs t-shirt, that I got from my cop friends as a gag gift for christmas.

HA!!

Just say JuggaNo! Nope, Nope

Eric Inksmith. One of my favorite people of all time. Mom......but I'm a little biased for sure. :) Roy Boy.....I mean come on its Roy Boy

Mom did the kanji for Mom on my sternum when I was 17.

One of us should go win the 2nd season of inkmaster and then use the money to fund a second season of Tattoo Age.

This was done by a guy up here in Ak that has the same attitude as the jgoss guy that got banned yesterday.

How about a fixie bike raping a minivan.

That does suck.

I really like your front door!

Hahahhahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's an adorable picture.

Agreed. Just had to say something. The entitlement attitude just makes me furious. And once again I'd like to apologize to the rest of the forum.

My point exactly.

Ugghh.....Okay, I want to first apologize to the rest of the forum, I just started posting yesterday but I feel VERY strongly about this subject. I'm a 2nd generation tattooer, my mother has been tattooing for 33 yrs, and learned how to make "machines" from Paul Rogers, I'm sure that name means nothing to you, but it should. My father has been tattooing since '75, his first shop job was with Bob Shaw and Col. Todd, once again names I'm sure mean nothing to you, but should. My step-father has been tattooing for 23 yrs, and he guests once a year at Inksmith and Rogers, once again a name that I'm sure means nothing to you, but really really should. I myself have only been tattooing for 10 yrs, I was a little late getting to it, and realistically still just a journeyman. My family has been tattooing for a combined 104 yrs. So yes they are called machines, coolness has nothing to do with it. It's about respect, respect for the craft that has fed my family for decades, respect for those that have come before, respect for those that have paid their dues and dedicated their entire being to Tattooing. When new tattooers who know jack shit about jack shit have over inflated egos and meet any criticism with comments about "haters", they pretty much shit on everything that my family has worked for. So in summation go fuck yourself. You're not welcome in my world.

guns.......awesome

This is year number 10 for me. And being so isolated up here in the frozen north, I try to meet as many other tattooer online as I can.

Turned out to be a really nice guy.

I sure will. She has been instagraming.
