hahahaha merit badges!. The fraternal order of girl scouts.......what goes on in those meetings no one knows, true occult. Those who know don't speak and those who speak don't know, now buy my cookies.

With a girl scout merit badge on the head-dress for fraternal/occult theme.

the person who apprenticed you should have no problem answering this question. ask him/her. lol.

Here's one Ron Henry Wells did on me last October at the State of Grace Convention:

Definitely my favorite tattoo so far.

I love the heavy overfills he does, when he just slams a scary looking skull or something over whatevers underneath

Here's hoping he does a huge "SUCK MY BIG HUGE BIONIC COCK" tattoo for TITD fans.

Also its great the today is the day quote in that old Whitehead flash from 98 haha.

Jef is painting alot more now and flying east to work at the upcoming richmond (virginia) tattoo convention in november. his tattoos are looking really clean and that Deno tattoo is proof of it. that thing is slick, and he did it at my shop in DC. i have a bunch of Jef tattoos but not anything thats been done in the last 10+ years.

Ohh Dan....we know your old school, im sure you can take some ball busting. irezumi is a great contributor to this forum/site so relax lets not push away the people here who make this place interesting as it keeps thinning out more and more and we keep getting "tell me what tattoo to get,tattooer to get it by and city to get it ins posts"(not from you, dont worry). That said, I like your posts and your loyalty and history you bring as a long time tattoo "collector" for lack of a better word. No need to have a chip on your shoulder.

Henry Lewis:

yeah those melanistic panthers stell does are so badass.

ease up buddy. it's ball busting, and everyone i know does it to each other. especially when a client uses a slang term that makes us cringe.
also, there isn't anything wrong with $100 pieces of flash, and anyone who looks down their nose at someone who walks in and picks something off the wall gets less respect from me than someone who thinks less of that person.

I have also noticed many of these people uploading shitty work aren't even members who are participating in the forums or the blog sections so it makes me feel like they are just trying to post pics in hopes of getting customers, which kind of defeats the purpose of the website...

Ok at the risk of sounding like a huge bitch i'm gonna post this anyways...
As far as I know Scott and company started this site to promote good tattooing, and good tattooers. I've noticed lately in the members gallery there have been a lot of bad tattoos uploaded. Is this just going to turn into another tattoo photo gallery where anyone can post photos of every horrible tattoo they do, and then have people thinking that work is good because they saw it on a site that claims to promote only good tattooing? I feel bad when I log on and on the very first page there's awful tattoos being shown. Am I just a horrible person for thinking this or do others feel the same way? I feel like if I wanted to see average bad tattoos I could just do a google search or visit one of the numerous tattoo design websites. Is it wrong to have a moderator removing bad work at the risk of offending the person who uploaded it? We seem not to have a problem telling people in the forums when a tattoo is shit.

Searched, and didn't find a thread on wolf tattoos, so I decided to make one.

This thing is alltime by Jef Whitehead .

its nice that your paying attention, and its nice to know your can quote a respectable tattooer but at the end of the day its your choice. youve seen regino's work so if you like it what difference does it make. go get tattooed. plus whos give a flying fuck who the best is.

I think Perez was amused by the choises you gave. Is he great or best. Is he god or Lemmy :)

Hahah "Regino Gonzales, Great or Best?"

Check out this chest piece, both by Nick Colella. Can't go wrong, the man has that Traditional thing going on!
This pic is from the Chicago Tattooing Company website, there are many more there and on Nicks site, which is linked from there.
And if that ain't enough, take a look at his Tumbler feed...

I know what you're saying Avery, but I don't think I'm too old to hang it up. The day you say "i'm too old to skate" is when you start getting old.
Some of my best friends, P Wee & Joel Long from Bolder Ink, are over 35 and 40 and still skate, just like me. I'm pretty sure Grime still skates. Obviously Mike does too. All of us have broken an arm (or two!) but it doesnt mean it's gonna stop us from ever skating again.
3 years ago P Wee & I were at Vail and halfway through a day of riding when we noticed the guy in front of us on the lift was 60something and still ripping. PW turned to me and said "we still got 30 or so years left of this". This is how I see it too.
I'm also not scared to look like the old man and wear wristguards and a helmet.

Nothing "neo" here, just straight-up Traditional American tattoing done by the man I believe is one of the masters of the style today, Nick Colella of Chicago Tattooing Company. He laid this on me this afternoon in about three and a half hours.
