Chemical Composition of Tattoo Pigments
Jake replied to William Burgess's topic in General Tattoo Discussion
Great post Stewart. Someone in one of the interviews on this site (Freddie maybe?) mentioned how he'd love it if tattooing returned to being illegal because then you'd only have people getting/giving tattoos who really love it. I think this falls into that category. I'd get tattooed in a house by someone using pigments they illegally and lovingly made themselves before going to a studio that uses watered down government sanctioned "safe" tattoo ink that inevitably will look like garbage. -
looking for advice on pricing paintings...
Jake replied to smiling.politely's topic in Paintings and Prints
You are correct. Quoted from Ed's own site, "In some ways, the popularity of tattooing has backfired for me." Regardless of all the present day apparel/popularity, imagine where the Bay Area tattoo scene would be if Ed hadn't created Realistic/Tattoo City... -
2011 Horitaka's San Jose Tattoo Convention
Jake replied to Lochlan's topic in LST Get Togethers & Tattoo Conventions
Some artists you can email/call in advance and get appointments while others only do walk-ups at conventions. The best bet is to contact the specific shops/artists you wish to get tattooed by and find out what their schedule looks like. -
God damn how could I forget about this one... I always want to reply "and your point is?" to customers at work but I would be pretty much kissing my tips goodbye then.

The tattoos should separate you from the scratchers- not your clothing. There are plenty of ways to appear professional without looking uniform. You KNOW IT when you walk into a legit studio, regardless of the wardrobe of the artists. You can put a scratcher in a uniform but that doesn't make him PRO.
-
a uniform? as a customer I would walk out of a shop like that just as soon as I entered. I deal with enough attempts to increase conformity at work and I don't want that from a TATTOO STUDIO. I feel like a tattoo studio should embrace the weird (getting tattooed is strange no matter how you think of it) and not the false sense of "sameness"...

I couldn't find the list you mentioned. I also got immediately turned off by the rest of the content of that website. Their tattoo design of the week was cheesy generic killer whale flash. hmmmm no thanks.

Out of curiosity what's unethical about it? The person who got Golden Palace tattooed on their forehead willingly chose to brand herself like that. Yes, I agree she's an idiot, but I fail to see what's unethical about it. They offered, she accepted, they paid, she got tattooed. Seems fair (albeit stupid) to me...

I've known someone with a voice even worse than that. Not fake. Although the content/hysteria very well may be fake.

amen brother!

I would get crazy on that guy and delete him after he got my facebook face tattooed on him. Just to be the first one he had to cover up.

Personal preferences on tattooing necks and hands
Jake replied to Iwar's topic in General Tattoo Discussion
Slightly off topic but the people with neck/hands done and no other visible tattoos never tip good (I work food service-not tattooing.) They're dumb asses in more ways than one it turns out. -
