222 Tattoo - stories, memories and pictures!
Julio Avila replied to dari's topic in General Tattoo Discussion
i made an appt to get a rose and my moms signature in a banner by scott. he showed me the drawing and goes.... "i think its too big. what do you think" i say..."whatever you think is best" he goes..."ok" now im the dude with the biggest rose tattoo on his neck ever haha sat down in the chair and he reaches over to a literal pile of machines. there had to be at least a dozen all up on top of eachother. he spread them out a bit and grabbed the two or three he needed. i think i owned two liners and a shader at that point in my career haha. it was such a cool ass experience. and for future reference, if you let scott do what he wants, you end up with a huge neck/face rose or a grim reaper riding a rooster pointing up at your "good times" haha one last thing... got to meet Hector Fong there. cool dude for sure!!! havent spoken to him in a while. i hope hes doing well. and i remember scott yellin at him then callin him "a chinese mexican or whatever the fuck you are" went to the closing party/auction. it was awesome but shitty timing. it was in february when i had nooooooo money. i just got back from a trip home. wanted to bid on a rassier painting, but my roommate wanted to as well. i let her buy it. she got it super fucking cheap!!!! i hate her guts now. oh i remember noah also scraping shit off the floor with a razor because eddie said he fucked up haha -

Qualities that make for a successful tattooer

Haha!! Apparently you need at least 10 characters for a post -
Agreed Lizzie. I just want to concentrate on the tattoo and having as much fun as possible doing it. Not whether or not my client safety is at risk

so i live in wisconsin. there is absolutely no shortage of obese people here. this topic is NOT a bash on them. i was tattooing a gay bear the other day. had him sit in a chair to outline his half sleeve. i need him to lay down to outline the inside of his arm. he layed down, no problem. i did need him to sit up for a second to readjust something. he got off the massage table and sat in the middle. we heard a very loud SNAP!!!!! he sat down and i told him to stand up. i turned the thing over and one of the wooden support bars snapped in two! he was mortified!!!!!!! sooooo embarrassed. i was just relieved that he wasnt hurt. hes a cool guy getting some cool tattoos. i was able to finish the outline with him sitting down. so i have to get a replacement table. but now im super scared to get another like the original one because i dont want it to break while a big person is on it. ive been looking around online and found one made with metal legs. welded aircraft aluminum. anybody have any tips on a massage table that i can fold up? ive been freaking out over this the last day and a half. i just dont want anyone to get hurt. im sure i tattoo an obese person 3 or 4 times a month. by obese i guess i mean over 300 pounds

ok heres another about the same dude.... there was a convention in dallas a long time ago. he went down along with a few other dudes from the shop. i did not go. the bossman made a shitload of money i guess. he decided to treat all the dudes to hookers. apparentely they were all "really fucking hot" sooooo they come back from the show. bossman humps his girlfriend. he also was humpin this other hang around broad too. threw one in her. guess what? that hooker had the clap and gave it to bossman who in turn gave it to the other two not so lovely ladies in his life. that musta been one awkward drive to the free clinic. girlfriend stayed with bossman. actually they eventually got married. or so ive heard.

ok if you are in milwaukee..... honeypiecafe.com this place is THE SHIT!!!!!!!! im there like 3 times a week. its actually across the street from the shop. if you are on a diet, stay away. once every four months they do this thing called SECRET SUPPER CLUB. they make a 5 course meal and pair a beer or wine with each course. they are small portions but by the time dessert rolls around you are STUFFED!!!!!!!!!! cometcafe.com same owners as honeypie. the meatloaf is way better than your mamas kopps its a jumbo burger and frozen custard joint. burgers are awesome! frozen custard is a midwest thing. its like ice cream but with eggs. its much creamier and richer than ice cream. that shits all over milwaukee. and they will deliver within the continental US. you just gotta order a shitload. nite owl its closed during the winter. the burgers are THE BEST BURGERS I HAVE EVER HAD. i love burgers. all of them! this shit is the king!!!!!!!!!!! ok thats enough.
