SBoyer mentioned Bert Grimm in the rock of ages thread and it made me remember his piece on Lyle Tuttle's back... God I wish this picture was higher resolution and didn't have that watermark all across it. so amazing
-
holy shit. can you imagine a back piece of this?! thanks for sharing this is so fucking rad
-
hahahahahahahahaha so good!
-
That'd probably work out pretty good. I've got a traditional virgen de guadalupe tattoo with a guitar instead of Mary. Similar concept.
-
so stoked to start my day by watching this
-
That's absolutely amazing for being 30 years old. Thanks for posting that

God those pictures make me so stoked to live in CA...

I've thought about it a bunch and I have a hypothesis about that Lochlan... I think I just took shitty care of my body when I was starting to get tattooed by Scott because my last two sessions after improving my eating/sleeping/self-care have been way easier with him. Then again it could just be that I went straight for some of the more universally acknowledged painful spots at first (chest, belly, parts of the legs) whereas the last two sessions have been upper arm.

Judging solely from your internet actions I highly doubt that comment would be the deciding factor in your heaven vs. hell score card... Just saying haha
-
Great idea! Side note- I'm a little blown away you've had tattoos that took 4-5 weeks to heal.... Gotta be something unique to your body
-
if so I would follow that like one follows a blog. it'd probly be pretty hilarious
-
nice! a stack of records would probably be way easier than that burrito because you'd just layer a bunch of square cakes. would look cool with the art work done with frosting and everything too...
-
I hope you tattooed with a nice heavy hand from there on
-
such a great observation...

I find it rather ironic that my girlfriend's family constantly chides her for having visible tattoos when a lot of the men who talk down to her have visible tattoos themselves. It seems rather hypocritical for one tattooed person to tell another that they shouldn't have tattoos (with the exception of any blue-collar-contract tattoos i.e. hands/face/neck.) This thread's been really interesting. I'm always curious to see how geographical/racial/gender/age/professional status influences people's opinion on visible tattoos.

Being the youngest of five children it was easy for me. All the older kids had already paved the way with things like tattoos and getting in trouble so I really had to do something extreme to shock my parents. My girlfriend on the other hand had it quite different. Her mother cried (she still does every time she notices a new tattoo on her) and I think I remember one of her family members actually hitting her when they saw she had started getting tattoos. One holiday I spent with her extended family and her very old fashioned Greek Orthodox grandfather saw visible tattoos on me... He stated "Alexandra- there are two kinds of people in this world. Good people, and bad people. Your boyfriend is the 2nd kind." Mind you we had only exchanged pleasant introductions so far so this was solely based on how I looked. When he later found out she had defiled her skin he gave her quite the verbal lashing as well.

nice. I drooled over this photo from your friend's blog
-
I'm gonna chime in and add that the SF show on 2/5 is with Devils Brigade (psychobilly band featuring Tim and Matt from Rancid.) Dunno if they're doing any other shows on the tour with them or not...
-
daaaaaaamn. Garver killing this thread again

Ditto. There was a lot of thought, time, and experience put into that post and it ruled. Much appreciated
-
sweet there's hope for us crazy tattooed people yet. high fashion here I come!
-
Ditto. It's always interesting hearing what inspires people to move across oceans. Welcome by the way- I enjoyed your post in the Japanese Tattoo Politics thread
-
wow. I really wanna see a finished product of that. I'm sure it's just as painful as I imagine it to be... Healing period has to be a bitch too. You'd think the pigment would shade your vision and act as a blue filter...
