i think someone needs to get this

Looking at pictures of amazing tattoos on a tiny screen makes it harder to really appreciate them. Kind of watching a movie on your smartphone.

I'm on it

i nominate shawn porter for most impressive in this thread

i only do it if i'm at the gym; because i hate most people and it helps me block them out like white noise.

what kind of music (if any) do you guys run or work out to? for the longest time i was just au naturale while running at the beach but now that its nippy and windy i use the gym, where i use a beatles or willie nelson playlist. not your typical workout music, but it works for me for a long (hour or so) run. but my new shit is drankenstein.

been following this on ig and jesse showed me what he is including. so excited to buy this.

I feel like I should send everyone a link to your book every time I am asked the same question.

with any luck it will have a tattooed piece of paper in it, but thats a long shot

yeah i really dig it too - - - Updated - - - For a moment before clicking it, i thought the thumbnail with the bow was a tupac skull haha

Plodding tortoise I'll get you guys and girls on there as soon as I can figure how to efficiently use a smartphone. Novice.

yeah I assumed someone would post that before long. i can picture him burning through 5 cigarettes while doing that interview haha Old sticker made into fridge magnet.

Tux, 1994

That would be the beginning of what is to tell, yeah. Still the most elusive tattooer as far as internet info, which I think is what he would've wanted anyway. Tux did almost all of my tattoos in the first 3 or 4 years of getting tattooed starting at 18. His influence on me still continues to this day. Everything I learned about Real Tattooing started with him. His shop was amazing. If you see pics of DeVita's house, that would give you the idea how Tux's shop & house were as well. The lineage from DeVita>Tux>Higgs is easily noticable in each of their artwork.

yeah thats an amazing deal. getting a copy of eye tattooed america is also suggested.

Mike Wilson

nobody gets just one or two.

yeah he's super fast. i was just there yesterday & had a great time.

I've never read the book. It was visually interesting but it got boring/silly fairly quickly. started off okay, but went downhill after that.

although not my style of stuff i would wear, i still appreciate how amazing his work is.

everytime i hear the term 'human canvases' i cringe and hope nobody ever uses that term in real life at the shop.

So long and thanks for all the fish everybody! It's happening today! so how's it gonna end? big ass meteor is a great one even if it's typical. epic if nothing else. alien invasion = see above zombie virus = kinda bored with that one. blowing everybody up in nuclear warfare = kinda sucky. nagl to the whole human race massive underwater earthquake causing 4 mile high tidal waves that crush every continent flat = also epic. hadron collider creating a black hole = i'm with it skynet = perhaps the most awesome possibility a friend of mine suggested that apes will rise up to be our masters. good call. My plans are to go to work, make some cool shit happen, take my girl out for a bit, go home and do the same thing tmrw. You guys?

Plus you get a big portfolio with your name and address written on it by Thom. Everything I have by Thom is worth 100 times what I paid for it.

lately I really prefer light reading. no need to be so serious all the time. also they seem easier to read on a plane, which is some of my best reading time as weird as that sounds. i have plenty of 'the classics' and a lot of contemporary writers, but you can only read ham on rye (or other such stuff) so many times. sometimes it's nice to take a break from high-brow or low-brow type of books. books i have read (or re-read) this last year;
