Deserved.

It was totally lazy of me just to hit up google for a 10 minute period for my post. Apologies.

I have been thinking about getting moths in my ditches though, do folks think they would work well in that spot?

My friend peewee did some sweet ones in brown sienna style colors that I would post but can't find them in my photo stack.

the spot on my arm I hated the most. I appreciate ones that accent the action of the ditch, but anything there that looks good is a tattoo that works. Nothing beats a good ol' hinge but I can't find any good ones. Wish I had ore time to fish around on IG and whatnot but I'm on my way out the door to work. So here's some shit from Google. Sorry for sizing, I'm in a rush.

Knee ditches are great too.

I'd post mine, but they aren't stand-alone tattoos; the ditch in an over-all sleeve aren't quite the same in impact.

Most of my favorite video games involve 1 quarter and 3 lives.

Mario Kart is my exception to the rule.

i'm sure they will make a 'private reserve original blend' at some point and sell it for double what the standard mix is.

simple marketing.

saw his solo band a few times in the early/mid 90s and it was pretty awesome actually. he ripped each set with ferocity.

hope this helps.

Reunions like this are always disappointing

sorry if you're using a smartphone to see this; its the only size worth viewing.

I just get tattooed. Doesnt matter if it's a guy i work with or a good local friend or a famous tatbro in another state. It just happens at the right time for the right reason from the right person.

awesome^

there are definitely people lower than thieves.

maybe she can get a black-out face tattoo to cover it....

Should have followed my strict policy to "never read the comments"...

cringing from multiple people using the word 'canvas' which makes me immediately dismiss any opinion of theirs.

kinda looks weird to see his stuff in a fancy and expensive frame. thought about it myself when i got my first piece from him but it looks so foriegn and out of place in a fancy frame.

i understand why you want to but it looks so odd and personally i decided not to do it.

i think there is a reason why he doesnt hang his own work like that. i didnt go to the kings ave exhibit, but i did see photos, and every other time i've seen his shows the prints were taped up, and when i went to his house he doesnt go fancy with it either.

imo i suggest thinking outside of the box, or frame is it is, and try a different approach. maybe construct a frame out of found materials or old wood?

that's what i wound up doing with the first print i got from him; i used some old weathered wood boards that i found and used nails and cardboard and tape to construct it and (reluctantly, ha) used a piece of normal (i know its not uv but whatever) glass i had cut at the hardware store. you can bite my style if you want i dont mind.

not that i am poo-pooing expensive framing. i spend a mint on framing a big print by Joel Long and it was worth it.

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 think I'm the only person alive that doesn't listen to music when I workout.

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.

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