I know I SAID I wasn't going to get my hands tattooed any time soon (and technically these are FINGER tattoos) but last night I had my co-worker, the lovely miss Ashley Love throw these on my digits.

just had one put right below my throat in my clavicle today, thought it would be bad, seriously didn't feel a thing.

Fuck I wish I would have known about this!

Exactly, you don't get to be an old lady in the Lower East Side without seeing some shit.

Whatever. It's New York, dude, Tompkins Square no less. Those old ladies probably walked past two dead junkies and a homeless dude shitting in the street before they saw Scott. A tattoo is the least sketchy thing you're going to see go down in that park.

Marcus Kuhn, Jason Goldberg, & Katja Opel Also Scott doesn't actually charge everyone $300 an hour with a 1k minimum, but telling people that does a really good job of keeping tire-kickers and time-wasters at bay. I have a bunch of friends that have tattoos from Scott as well as having a pretty nice one myself, nobody I know of paid a grand. Not to say he probaby didn't charge Marc Jacobs or Courtney love that rate, but I mean, why wouldn't you?

My wife commissioned Daniel to paint a painting for us as my wedding gift. It's incredible! He hand delivered it to her in brooklyn. It's at the framers right now, can't wait to get it back. One of the 1000+ reasons I married her.

It's gonna be sad to see what happens to her...

I remember seeing that grandfather clock tattoo in his spread in ITA in 90's (I think it was the issue with Jon Clue's girlfriend on the cover maybe?) BLEW MY FUCKING MIND. I used to stare at that tattoo for hours.

There is a time and a place for both.

I love shirtless tattooing.

As a friend and client of Bailey's let me give you one bit of advice, DO NOT be late to your appointment. there is no better way to piss that little fucker right off! Also, no chewing gum or energy drinks. Aside from that, let him do his thing. He's probably my favorite person to get tattooed by, I hope you like country music and dry humor.

My friend in FL does THE FUNNIEST THING to scratchers that come in asking to buy ink. He tells them "sure, 20 bucks." Takes the $20 up front, goes in the back, fills a small ink cap to the top and hands it to them and goes, "here, DON"T SPILL IT!!!" and watches them walk like tightrope walkers through the parking lot. (and then presumably to their cars where the shit spills everywhere)

I took it a step further and have a RECORD LABEL tattoo!

I don't know if I posted this before but I tattooed a guy that was on that boat and got one from Oliver. He told me the story and I was like "Holy SHIT that is a great tattoo story!"

"New Jersey Tebori" is just slang for handpokes done at the bar at 4AM.

I think the saying actually goes: "Opinions are like assholes, and bubbleberry is goatse"

Thank you very much!

Murray is a Tattooer's Tattooer.

That other dude is by no means a bad tattooer, but when you get a Murray Sell tattoo, you're getting a "MURAY SELL TATTOO" he's got something special, like Robert Ryan, or Ron Henry Wells. You can't get that shit just anywhere.

YESSSS!!! Bucket cat RULES!!!!

yup, sorry bro. Chest<Ribs<Stomach

OOH NO YOU DID NOT!!! You might as well have just called this: "Andy Perez, the thread" Heere We Gooooo!

I did versatile tattooers because having spent pretty much my entire career thus far in a street shop, versatility is what I've come to respect and aspire to most. I mean I have tons of friends who are amazing tattooers and have very specific styles, and they very rarely work outside those styles, But they also have a very tailored clientele seeking out their work. I just don't feel that's my path. at least not yet. I love having to push myself to rise to challenges as they come to me in whatever style the client wants.

we already have that: It's right here
