    ICP thread

    Well it looks like I've got Halloween figured out
  2. Man I wish I could pull that line on my customers but they're all a bunch of whiny dicks who would email our owners complaining. I just walk away as soon as I see that twinkle in the eye that means some random wants to talk about tattoos with me.
  3. A little clarification to my previously blunt post- the execution of the tattoo is more than acceptable. there's clean linework and shading. the style is what I have issues with. the blue tribal wave background stuff takes away from the tattoo in my opinion. I second the other LSTers opinions though that if you put a bunch of other tattoos around it you won't even notice anymore. Also considering it's on your hand it will probably age much faster than a place like your thigh. Constant exposure to sun/cuts/chemicals/etc.
  4. Dude you should've seen the one he made a couple years ago. Shotgun lamp was awesome!
  5. face tattoos aside, all the chest/torso work looks pretty solid from what I can see...
  6. You want honesty? That's nothing I'd want on my hand.
  7. I can't click "like" enough Kyle...
  8. every time I see a Conn lady I have to stop and drool a little bit. god damn.

    I served a table of 4 juggaloes the other night. They were the stinkiest, messiest, cheapest (no tip and shared unlimited refill sodas), and most disgusting customers all week. Seriously- who needs ten refills of ranch dressing and then mixes a whole plate of ketchup, mayo, and ranch together? Fuck em. They also had some of the worst tattoos I've seen all week. One dude had an anarchy symbol next to one eye and a peace symbol next to the other eye.
  10. one of the best threads on here. thanks for all the contributions guys.
  11. I think there's a video of Horiyoshi III in the blog section of this site doing the same thing
  12. does not matter. a good tattooer is a good tattooer and a good tattoo is a good tattoo. the end.
  13. ain't nothing wrong with that
  14. And then you'll get your stomach tattooed and you won't be able to say that anymore ;)
  15. You're already on the right track by referencing Valerie's work. Those are all great tattoos. I'm pretty sure you could go to her (or someone of her caliber) and simply say "I want a lady head tattoo" or "I want an anchor tattoo" and you're gonna get something pretty bitchin'. If you're going to a good tattooer, 99.9% of the time what they draw is going to look cooler than anything you imagine and layout in your head and (in my opinion) you're best off letting them create the design and ask you whatever pertinent questions they have.
  16. Also this talk about Hooper has me aching to get tattooed... I'm trying to get in with him sometime around the SFO convention
  17. bigjoe: geographic expert of LST all the "what's a good shop in ______?" threads should be called "Dear bigjoe" threads
  18. I think the guy I saw with a nail bed tattoo got it tattooed after he had accidently ripped the nail off. fucking gnarly

    cool cats. love your elbow tattoo as well!
  20. hahahahaha this thread has me laughing so hard. awesome!!
  21. Well, looks like I'm gonna be the dickhead to say this..... SOME PEOPLE ARE BETTER THAN OTHERS. Do you really think your opinion on tattooing is equal to Horiyoshi III's (picking a random important artist just to illustrate a point) Are you not right now trying to change our outlooks? That's a bit hypocritical....
