Agree with Jake. They seem to have gotten nice work, but I suspect that the tattoos are more a part of the rockstar-emokid-image type of thing for these dudes than it is a true passion for tattoos. But who the fuck am I to judge or speculate... I got my first tattoo because I played in a band and wanted to look cool too.

That panther is badass! Are you adding background to this?

GRIME part 3 is up:

Grime Part 3 - Tattoo Age | VBS.TV

he was at his warehouse working on a lamp that he was super excited about

Sorry to go off topic here, but I saw a picture of this lamp on Tim Hendricks blog, and it was truly stunning!!

2'nd Ursula's suggestion. I bet matching roses would look really cool on the knees. Actually, I think I just found out what I want to get when I get my knees done :)

Cat heads seems to be a good fit for knee-designs.

I especially like these:

Jim Sylvia

Valerie Vargas

Badass Bob Roberts the realest and the illest .

That blew my mind! Holy shit....

Ryan Mason's work is awesome! I've been wanting something from him for quite some time now. Check out this amazing backpiece:

Since this site is open for anyone to join I suggest a policy of no "breaking into the business" related questions as a forum rule. All that does is keeping tattooers away, thus making it alot less fun for all of the other members who are genuinely interested in talking about tattoos.

Guys, why care to discuss anything other than the quality of his work? This is a tattoo forum isn't it? The whole hipster thing is not that big here in Norway, so maybe that's why I'm not getting as annoyed by it as some of you. We got more than enough bad vibes from bubblefuck's endless tirade a while back, so why get fired up and argue over something as trivial as the way Cris chooses to dress or cut his hair? I'm not trying to fuel the fire with this post, just merely trying to put it out... Can't we all just get along and ride beautiful unicorns across the double rainbow?

I really like his tattoos and paintings. I was trying to book an appointment with him, but he told me he would have moved to NY and Saved Tattoo by the time I was going unfortunately. I think he comes of like a nice fella, and he makes really cool tattoos. I thought the video was cool and well worth a watch. Don't really get why blessedmatter seems so negative about Cris and the video.

I have snakeblood pouring out from my bellybutton! The navel lint must be the snake's guts spilling out.

Incredible! Scott's daggers man... I'm getting one soon, though a wee bit smaller.

Second!

Welcome!

Is there any way to make blog posts and blog comments appear when hitting the "what's new?" button? I always forget to check what's new on the blogfront because usually just hit the "what's new?" button whenever I log on here. I know it's pure lazyness, but it would be a nice to get the blog updates when using that function as well.

It would also be nice to have a "new photos" button that basically did the same thing as the other one only with photos posted since you last checked.

I'm sorry to ruin the good atmosphere of this thread, but this is worth watching if you haven't seen it already....

I've also encountered a couple "under the fingernail" tattoos on the web. I cringe just thinking about it.

There's a seth wood tiger/rose morph that makes me shit a little every time i see it. please, for the sake of my clean shorts, don't post it.

I totally forgot about that one! Here ya go:

I arrive on the evening of September 19th and leave early on the 27th. My appointments so far are Scott at noon the 20th and Grime at noon the 22nd. Lehi said he'll probably be able to fit me in sometime during my stay, but I won't know when untill I get there.

I guess the meetup probably will take place in the evening? If that's the case any day would work on my behalf :)

I'll be there in less than two months and would love to meet up with some of my LST friends while visiting!

Here's some of the artists that have been on heavy rotation on my iPod the last couple weeks:

Thomas Dybdahl - From grace

Kvelertak - Ordsmader av rang (Kinda shitty soundquality, but the only clip I found. Funfact: bassplayer Marvin has his hands tattooed by Thomas Hooper)

City and Colour - What makes a man

Rumble in Rhodos - Flavoured Envy

Animal Alpha - Bundy

The Cumshots - I drink alone

Chris Grosso just mailed me a link to this:
