i just got rid of a fairly large and pretty eclectic vhs collection. i have a pretty good dvd collection but i've started to buy less and i'm just focusing on music and tattoo related stuff. my music collection is pretty outrageous, i've been packing it up and it's taking forever to get it done. i used to work in record stores and i was the program director at a college radio station so i've got a diverse collection. the only other things that i've been collecting lately are teeth. i have all of my daughter's baby teeth and one of my molars that i had extracted.

haha, awesome! glad someone else enjoyed it! @rockelman, check out nick cave and the bad seeds, mick harvey, the editors, the fever, devotchka, moving units, & mark lanegan. if you like mark lanegan he was in the screaming trees also. and did a project with greg dulli of afghan whigs/twilight singers.

i think you should get a justin burner portrait, the irony of getting a google portrait version would equal this: justin burner - Google Search and then of course this: http://www.google.com/imgres?q=justin+burner&um=1&hl=en&sa=N&biw=1280&bih=872&tbm=isch&tbnid=6_v6jjyofndSqM:&imgrefurl=http://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/random-crap/1130-new-music-page2.html&docid=gEwxWmMWpdp22M&w=55&h=80&ei=5fstTt7QKIi3sQKv29zGCw&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=142&page=1&tbnh=79&tbnw=54&start=0&ndsp=21&ved=1t:429,r:19,s:0&tx=26&ty=59

too many people are trying to "be cool", it's like being in primary school. i deleted facebook, it has resolved so much exposure to negativity. my google+ has 2 people currently. i wasn't very shocked that she had an overdose, i wish i was more shocked that people think it's funny or try to make jokes about it.

growing up a punk living in the south during the 80's wasn't really accepted so i guess i've always rejected the heard mentality and society in general. tattoos seemed like the most nature progression and a way of choosing my own path. my life my way

i agree, but i do understand his theory especially considering the time it was written as well as having an academic/sociological approach to the book. also, if you are in england i've heard that lionel tichner has a very nice museum in liverpool. www.Tattoomuseum.co.uk tattoo museum liverpool - HOME i'm hoping to check it out at some point. oh, an if you ever make it to ohio..rich t has an excellent museum that has loads of stoney st. clair and al schiefley stuff. really nice collection as well as having correspondence and photos of schiefley with les skuse.

usually i like it if ever i get comments that are negative, it's easier to determine where people stand. as a general rule, i don't engage in conversations with mouth breathers, idiots, rude assholes, etc...all it ends up doing is dragging you down to their level at some point. when asked what will i do when i'm old, i just say if i manage to live that long i'll probably be more concerned with not having to wear a diaper and who's going to have to change me if i do have to wear one.

what type of stuff are you into?

tattoo: secrets of a strange art by albert parry, it was written in 1933 i believe.

its like a timeline/map of events. the significance or meanings to each of them is sometimes obscure or a reference to something as well as sometimes being an inside joke. the sum total of them being a rejection of mainstream culture. i do from time to time hear people say that they want to wait til they are "in shape" before getting a tattoo somewhere and i tell them that i think i'll just cover myself and if i'm fat and ugly then at least there will be a bunch of scary tattoos to distract from that.

there is never any shame in liking alkaline trio...and i don't care what anyone says, i like all of their albums. not just the old ones. but then again i worked in a bunch of record stores so i like loads of stuff that people may not like. with that said, i'm sure i'll end up getting the new album, from what i've heard their reworked acoustic versions and not just "an acoustic version" if that makes sense.

dude, check out my new piercing...can you take a pic with my phone please? i want to post it on facebook

yeah, i expected something more like "fist fuck" or "shit fist"

currently listening to Dissection - "Storm of the Light's Bane" earlier at work it was monster magnet, betty blowtorch, black halos, the bones, and joan jett.

that's what i'm talkin about

hey clay! grand entrances need bullet belts and reaper tattoos

gummo - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvXSDfC7PLc&feature=youtu.be almost exactly like living in ohio, the town this is about is right next to the town i live in... ironically, i'm going to miss living here

i tattooed the girl that plays cammie, so that's how i heard about this movie. was super happy to see it go to sundance. as far as movies go, there's such a long list but there are a few fairly unknown gems that some might enjoy. the reflecting skin - the dark backward - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9L_pcXuJ384 (bill paxton is truly incredible)six string samurai - northfork - (i like the polish brothers almost as much as david lynch...almost)

just curious about the folks that don't like email but are paying someone to answer the phones, couldn't they also handle emails regarding appointments rather than giving out your personal email? just a thought.

congrats deb, you'll do great i'm sure.

sorry, double post

with cincinnati being close by, we occasionally get someone coming through the shop that has some of kore's work and each and every time it is distinct and impressive. it's a whole different experience than seeing a photo or being at a convention when you see loads of people with nice tattoos. the impact is measurable and it's really something to see a tattoo from literally across the room and be blown away by it. thanks for posting the interview, great stuff as always.

i started getting tattooed because i always felt like an outsider. i think no matter what your endeavors and choices someone makes in life there will always be someone who will disagree and find fault with one's decisions. i think if you are sincere with your efforts in life and you do the best you can to do right by others and showing respect then all you can do is move forward with what you feel to be right. if mistakes are made then those opportunities to learn and grow. the internet is sort of an altered reality, people can quickly voice their opinions see and learn things at a higher level of access which i think many people allow to form a little too much influence on their actual lives.
