I know the Mike Wilson interview got posted recently, but will there be more released? I feel like the time between each one is growing and i just wanted to see if other people noticed this...

Someone before asked why people didn't like myke chambers i simply answered.

Ross Nagle is the fastest ive been tattooed by he did the dagger i have in like 20 minutes. It was kind of amazing to see someone line a tattoo that fast

All the younger dudes at Inksmith and Rogers kill it on the reg, also Tyler Monaghan has been doing real well lately. personally my favorite younger tattooer is Frank William from Great Lakes Tattoo.

Well I guess I don't think of it from a necessity stand point, more from my personal standpoint. For example, if I were lucky enough to get a tattoo by Myke Chambers next year, I would like to have him initial it with 14, not so people would know it was Myke's work but for me as if it were a commissioned painting. There's no Point, as much as a dislike Myke chambers he does have a distinct enough style that you don't need to get it timestamped or whatever.

For me, the biggest problem with Myke Chambers is that he's been tattooing for 20 years and his work looks the way it does. he dumbs down great traditional iconic images so that people who don't know traditional tattoos that well, will like them. he also uses the same stencils for every panther he does, so anyone with a panther from him in the last year or so has the same one, same shading same layout. there no variation in his work and i think it actually keeps getting worse.

Yes, I'm so excited for the Stab City Collection, so many great artists involved its going to be amazing

Thanks, that wasn't in the original design, but when i saw that it got added i knew it had to happen. - - - Updated - - - The Flannel wasn't in the original design I was referencing, but once i saw that he added that in i knew it had to happen

yeah for sure im uploading them now. Check my Profile Gallery

definately a younger collector but here it is... Scott Quinney Lucky Matthew Eddy Ospina Luke Wessman (multiple) Ross Nagle Tyler Monaghan Frank William Melissa Baker

he clearly didn't do it right the first time, this time do some research and find someone to either fix it or cover it. don't waste time on people who can't tattoo

Ross Nagle is great with daggers. i got one from him earlier this year while he was guesting in NY

I think that if you own a flash sheet or collection of sheets you can bring that to an artist as long as they are going to do the design your bringing them justice. Recently i drove from MA to Milwaukee to see the Dietzel exhibit and bought the first volume of the flash collection and when i returned home i went to a local artist, who i knew would be proud to do a Dietzel design and she did a great job. to me that is different than printing the design offline and not knowing the significance of the flash you are getting tattooed on you.

Hello everyone, its truly an honor and privilege to be able to be a member of this community, whether its tattoo collectors, tattooers or fans of the craft, it's nice to actually be a member with so many like minded people. i'm from Boston and have been collecting tattoos since i turned 18. What i love about the craft of tattooing and collecting tattoos is being able to meet artists I look up to, not only for being masters of their craft but because they work hard and respect tattooing more than anything else. again, its nice to be able to join everyone on this site, and i hope i get to know all of you. thanks for your time...
