And the winner is...

No face or neck for me.

I don't mind the show so much, but the counter people need to be kicked in the neck.

1991 @ G&G Tattoo in Ohio. Went with a friend who was getting a celtic tramp stamp. I got a Borneo tribal scorpion on my chest. At first they didn't want to do it, told me it was too big for a first piece, rough spot, ect, ect... Two and a half hours and $150 dollars later I had my first tattoo.

Thanks for checking out the shots, glad you liked them. If you ever need any advice hit me up. I hear you on the bad shows, I haven't shot a show in a few years... People keep trying to hire me to shoot festivals but I hate standing around in a hot parking lot all day.

Anyone else here take pictures at shows?

Here's a link to some of mine...

My last piece. Thigh. Done by Chris Smith at Deluxe Tattoo, Chicago

Another good exercise for the wrist is to get a stick/bar/pole about a foot long, tie a 5lb weight to the middle of the bar with a rope going about to the floor. Hold the bar out straight and use your wrist to twist the bar and work the weight up and down the rope. They sell something at most sporting goods stores to do this or you can make your own. I used to have really bad wrists from falling a lot skateboarding and it really helped.

Congratulations.

Thanks sir.

I used to use Dit Da Jow when I was training in Mantis Kung-Fu, if made up fresh it's a lot stronger and works a little better, but the bottle stuff is good too. If there's a Chinese doctor in your area they can make you up a batch. I used to have huge bruises from blocking drills and they would be gone completely in a matter of of a day or two.

Graston Technique saved my back for sure. Also while I'm not a doctor some of the hand and arm numbness could be caused from upper back problems. When my back was out I had a lot of numbness in my arms and fingers caused by build up in my back that was pinching some nerves.

The skull on the kids face is well done, but damn I can't imagine looking at myself in the mirror with that everyday... But yeah quality work for sure.

Henri Cartier-Bresson called it the decisive moment.

Boot nose got killed in prison I heard, or maybe not. He'll live forever online.

And lets not forget this guy...

It's a Dr Marten on his nose. Oi!

Hatebreed stash anyone...

Nice blog. Here's a Pupils set list I picked up after a show that Dan wrote out. I have a ton of live shots from the mid 90's and more current stuff I'll scan and post at some point.

Yeah I'd for sure like some interviews with some of these face tattoo guys. This guy and maybe Earth Crisis face would be a good start. I think the guy in jail with the boot on his nose might be dead.
