Here's one of my favorites. This is on another friend of one of my customers, who wanted to know how much it would be to cover this tattoo. I told him that the tattoo was awesome and it didn't need covering...

A guy came in who's wife I had tattooed, asking if I could "touch up" some of his tattoo he'd had a friend do. He said he had seen some of the guys other work, and it looked good, and he couldn't understand what happened to his arm. I suggested maybe just covering it all with something better, but he said that all the different skulls had sentimental value and represented some of his dead homies or something...

Shit if I go to the bank and the teller has tattoos on their hands, I don't want to hand over my money. People with tattoos are scumbags. I know this firsthand.

It healed up rad! Yeah, the last time I stopped by over there I think you guys were closed and I might have freaked out whoever was still there...

I had my wife tattoo me for a few reasons...One is that when I show her my portfolio for critiquing, she is way harder on me than anybody I know, which is awesome. I figured I should let her try it so she can see how difficult it is. The tattoos she did on me turned way better than I expected, so I guess my point wasn't really proven, but whatever. The only blowout on the whole thing is on the line that I did, and the yellow she put in it is more solid than the yellow in a tattoo right next to it done by an actual tattooer...The other reason it happened was that we were getting drunk at the tattoo shop after hours, and it seemed like the thing to do.

Shit it's been up and down over here, but we're doing alright considering...I still gotta get by there and say what's up to Joe, but I guess he's off on the same days as I am. How did your Bert Krak tattoo heal up?

Uh oh, the competition is here! What's going on, man?

I haven't worked there before, but you are working with my Grandfather of sorts, my mentor's mentor, Rob Silva. Rocco, my mentor, learned to tattoo from Rob, back when he was known as "Rude Rob". He's an awesome dude!

I ordered the Zeis school of tattooing booklet from the Tattoo Archive, and it's pretty awesome reading. For sure if something like that was going on now, people would be freaking out. -

Hey Shane how big are those prints? -
Yeah, I'm probably going to ask for "faggot shit" next time I get tattooed as well.

Haha I know you. (not in real life, from the computer. So I guess I don't really know you then. Whatever.) How's it going buddy?

Yeah, I would think they would put some thought into that kind of thing. Although after meeting Chris Brown, I kind of think that he might not put much thought into anything at all. He came in one day with a bunch of people, and kept talking about one of the girls with him getting "her pussy pierced", and then asked me to help him locate a tattoo. I asked him "what kind of tattoo are you looking for?" and he said "I don't know, just don't want no faggot shit". Then some kid asked for his autograph and he ignored the kid and had his body guard tell the kid to fuck off.

I have a Scott Sterling liner and I use it everyday, it is a pleasure to use and everybody should own one of them.

At the shop I work out in Hollywood, Chris Brown and Rihanna came in (before he kicked her ass) and they both had some pretty ridiculous tattoos on them (some of which were done at our shop). On his upper arm, there was a Jesus in the clouds with ninjas popping out of all the clouds around it. I asked what was up with the ninjas, and he said they were to protect Jesus. I'm Jewish, so I don't know all that much about Jesus I guess, but I'm pretty sure homeboy doesn't ninjas to protect him when the shit hits the fan.

My first tattoo was done by Cody Miller in 1998 when I turned 18, it was a little Frank Lee skull on my leg. I think it was like his 6th tattoo or something. I still work at the shop he did it at. Ha.

That's so awesome that you wrote this. It trips me out because earlier today I saw an old design in a book of flash from the 20's, and some of the designs were so familiar that I looked through all my books of more recent flash painted by living artists, and was totally tripping out on the progression or lack thereof of some of the designs. A lot of the stuff looked like they had pretty much traced the old acetate and added a few flairs or whooptydoo's here and there, but otherwise kept the design pretty much the same. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I was talking with my friend the other day as we flipped through the new Ben Corday book, and he made a good point that I agreed with...If people stopped drawing tattoos today, there is so much rad shit out there that it wouldn't really bother us all that much. People were getting tattoos at the turn of the century who's designs still look good 110 years later. -
Wow thanks!! -
