Frog, I feel your pain. I'm sitting on the tarmac at LAX apparently all planes get grounded when Air Force One or Two are in the vicinity. No word on how long we are going to be stuck here... Thanks, Mr. President! -

anybody know if there's shuttle service from the hotel to the venue, or is it a taxi thing? -
hey fox, i think every tattooer has been where you are...even multiple times throughout his or her career. if you give a damn about what you do, then you will experience a bit of discouragement at not being further along than you think you should be. sometimes i have to remind myself that this shit is supposed to be hard. and as relative noobs in this career, we have it so much easier than those who preceded us. we are standing on the shoulders of giants, dude. hang in there and keep the faith...

upper arm/deltoid was a breeze...

Guilty pleasure for sure. Any show that keeps Hal Holbrook out of retirement is okay by me. But seriously, first few episodes this season felt a bit "off," but I think it's starting to gel better for me now.

Hey Dari, Will do. Actually, I think the plan is for Scott to tattoo me on Friday...super excited!

hi there my name's gabriel massey and i tattoo at scorpion studios in houston, TX. it's great to see all the remarkable work on here! looking forward to catching up with some of you guys at SFO this year....

yeah, this is a particularly grating problem in my neck of the woods, and i may post an adjunct thread (if it does not already exist) about shops opening up close to each other. anyhow...i think that there's several factors at play here. because tattooing is no longer a marginalized subculture, and because in general, there has been a huge influx of new shops opening up everywhere, i think entrepreneurial/opportunistic "civilians" look at tattooing as a legit business opportunity. from our perspective, of course, this is completely wrong. i don't think that people coming in care about respect inside the community. success, sure.... the rub for me (at least in the specific case in which a shop has opened up two doors down from us) is that these people are not opening without help from tattooers...wtf is up with that?

haha lost a decade somewhere....yeah it was '05. didn't get the opportunity to stop by 713 and say hi when you came to houston, but will most certainly catch up at SFO...
