I definitely understand that reaction. I can appreciate where he's coming from though, since he's genuinely interested in things of a certain era. If you like hunting, you line your walls with antlers. If you like cars, your place might be filled with vintage metal signs. ..if you like tattoos, you're covered in tattoos but other people might think, "Who does that guy think he is?" Maybe the gag reflex lies more with the presentation in the video. It seems like it's tough to make a little video like this and not come off as a little self-aggrandizing. Haven't met the guy, but I doubt he's riding around on an old boneshaker with a handlebar mustache. Those types are the kind I view as the "ironic hipster" types, but he just seems like a normal dude who likes an older aesthetic and I can appreciate that. I like his tattoos and just wanted to share. Thank you and goodnight.

Cris Cleen fucking works. I know some of you have tattoos from Cris.. http://vimeo.com/27647687

Joke's on me, I bet that's a dude.

I bet she's a demon in the sack. Crazy chicks..

URSULA YOU ARE RUINING MY LIFE. Also, looks like that jugalette with a bat probably has the nicest looking tattoo of everyone that listens to ICP..

C'mon, everyone loves to use "nincompoop." I did read the thread, it's good you ask and are respectful about taking photos, I'd just advise not to assume people like having their photos taken. Would the electrician's union invite you in to take photos of how they wire something? Or a salty old fisherman let you watch while he baits his hooks with his special stuff? Bad analogies. Apologies if I was a little badger-y, it was late.

They're not Paris Hilton or a Kardashian, nobody has a net worth of 15 million dollars, so why are you surprised when a tattooer asks you not to take photos of their shit? Any publicity is not good publicity in an industry that prides itself on not being a bunch of vacuous fucking nincompoops. Also, I find it incredibly insulting when people assume they can take photos of tattooed folks simply because they have tattoos. $0.02.

Work towards starting a back piece. Then when it's finished if you're in the same job, you've got your legs to do. And on and on..

Your woman sounds awesome!

You pretty much can't go wrong with Bailey HR. I've found the more tattoos I get, the less "planned" they tend to be. Makes it a lot more fun!

As long as you're not a deckhand in the navy out getting sunburned for weeks at a time, you'll be ok. Just aloe like any burn and next time slather on that SPF 100.

I've been ready to move outta NY for a long time! And on that note, off to NJ with the lady for some porch-sitting and beach-going.

Ha, I suggested it last night and I'm pretty sure she called me out on just wanting to get tattooed. SMART LADY.

I'll fly out to SF to train with you guys. Got let go from my job yesterday so I got nothin but TIME. (Ok, I don't have the money for a flight, but still..)

Hell of a start! I mean, sometimes I may end up saying things on British television I don't remember, but at least I always give proper advice.

Just saw a new one Cris Cleen posted on his site: cris cleen works

I didn't read any of this shit, but that guy sucks and his show sucks and everything he represents sucks. I did catch something about vegan pancakes though, and I would eat the shit out of those things.

I don't know shit about shit but while I think the VBS series is great, the one dude invaded my barbershop and was a total douche to my barber. I remember thinking, damn, if you can't respect an old sicilian dude, how can you respect fucking antying? Then he rode away on his fixie -- thank god he could break the hundo he won in AC.

Aw man, that Jim Jones photo is actually kinda heart-wrenching. DOUBLE PAIN strikes again.

And clearly Dari edited this. Awesome though, and nice to get your perspective. Though I feel a little bashful for getting called out. In the best way possible, of course.

AND I see there's a little Adam Shrewsbury interview by Rob Ryan up. Thanks TAM, good stuff.

Just read it this morning, really nice little piece. You don't hear much about China and tattoos. Bonus it's by McCabe.

MsPout. Who cares about the big kids anyway? Buck up.
