Anyone mention Eddy Reyes? Secretsidewalk.com I think that's his site. I think he used to be in Fremont but moved? Still in northern California though. Super nice tattoos and a really cool guy.

Daaaayum I'm glad somebody brought up dick warsaki. My old boss has a huuuge front thigh piece by him. Huuuge buffalo head. If you get close enough you can see a tiny Indians head he tattooed in the animals eye. It's fucking amazing!!! Tattooed Dicks nephew a handful of times. He bugged out when we told him all about his uncle and how famous he is to us guys haha

Chad Koeplinger Tattoo Artist Video Interview
Julio Avila commented on Scott Sylvia's blog entry in Scott Sylvia's Interviews, Articles, and Blogs
That guest spot in San Jose at Marks of Art was to cover for me. I met him before I left for vacation. Shook his hand and noticed he had a piece of my flash tattooed on his other hand that I believe he did on himself haha. I believe he has since covered it (good move). Bizarre hand shake haha -

Cuvée Von de kaiser. Blue and red label Spotted cow Cheap beer....regular ol leinenkugels and coors lite. I do enjoy Sam Adams cherry wheat in the summer. Sounds girlybut I don't give a fuck. My wife makes amazing sangria in the summer. And no you can't have her recipe.

DONT SHOW UP EARLY!!!!! 10 minutes is acceptable. Any more time and it makes the tattooer feel rushed.

Bridesmaids was filmed alot in my neighborhood. Movie reminded me of "the hangover" for women. Buuuutttt just as funny for guys. I ask because people here don't know corn about poop. I once worked with this fool. Actually ive worked with a handful but this one I never really cared for. This woman came tO the shop on my day off. Turns out she had a bob Roberts back piece. The fool had no idea who he was. Uggghhh there was a show that night and it just so happened I ran into her there. We strike up a conversation and we realize I worked at the shop with the dork who didn't know who bob Roberts was. She then showed me an amazing back piece AAAAAND her boobs. Moral of the story.....know your history kids. Knowledge gets you boobs.

Once a tattoo you did or have on you is printed, you run the chance of it not being yours anymore. Every tattoo shop gets people bringing in magazines with images they want copied on them. I find this practice tacky and frustrating. I try to get them to let me redraw the image. Customers are usually pretty cool with getting something custom. I know there are plenty of shops that will just try to copy the tattoo verbatim. The copied tattoo usually turns out to be some watered down bootleg lookin crap. And that's why people dint want their stuff in magazines. If they really want it in a magazine, they'll just send a package of photos out. Nice of you to ask your subjects before snapping away
