i feel ya. we have 8 other shops (!?!) within about a 5 block radius, so we deal with a ridiculous amount of "price shopping." it used to be hard for me to turn that work away, but over time it has become apparent that some people simply do not give a fuck about the quality of the tattoo and just want a bargain. a few learn the lesson, but many never do.

Woof mildly hung over. Bob Seger does strange things to a man. -
Star of Texas Tattoo Art Revival January 13-15, 2012
amoxill replied to Kev's topic in LST Get Togethers & Tattoo Conventions
Kev, although the artist list isn't posted, I think most artists know at this point if they are going. If you have someone in mind it wouldn't necessarily be too early to contact them. You'd be surprised how early some artists book up. I missed the boat on someone I wanted work from @ SFO this weekend; they were booked over a month ago. -

hawk pretty much took the words right out of my mouth, but i'd be remiss not to reiterate that my post was never intended as a dig toward any particular body type. i would've posted if it had been a bald skinny chick from Baytown, a hirsute Armenian bodybuilder, or a Hindu dwarf. the salient point being that despite the sanitized and glamorized tattooer-rock star image perpetuated in reality programming, for me the reality of a good bit of this profession is being elbow-deep in some stranger's ass meat while my friends are at the bar. (which, by the way, is fine by me.)

Yeah contrary to popular belief, the cool Grimm and Jensen redraws are the exception rather than the norm. At least that's been my experience thus far.

now i feel obligated to incorporate the woop woop on general principle. a variation on the old drinking game, perhaps. so whenever gary oldman shows up on screen and makes a very serious look of consternation, i will probably feel compelled to yell out "woop woop." if roving gangs of 14 year olds are allowed to carry on phone calls/serial text-bookface marathons at every movie i attend, surely i am well within my right here (?) end thread derail rant.
-
It would be woop woop only if I got to see it before some yokels in freakin Finland
-
Lucky bastards in the UK got Tinker Tailor last month and it doesn't open in the states til December. Which means we probably won't see it in Houston til March. Womp, womp.

weird. my money's on at least 1 scene with gosling ripping out someone's heart and/or throat with his bare hands... logan's run seems strange and refn was supposedly on the shortlist for die hard 5 *shudders*. though drive was apparently stuck in studio development hell and attached to hugh jackman (?) for some time. gives me faith that he (refn) could probably make anything watchable.
-
drive was the first movie i've seen in a very long time that exceeded my expectations, and easily the best film i've seen this year. refn has been steadily ratcheting up his directing chops since the pusher trilogy - the michael mann comparisons are apt. i've had the soundtrack as heavy rotation drawing/painting music for the last week and want to see the movie again...
