    ain't nothing wrong with a little erotic asphyxiation! and if the choking doesn't work I guess you could just smother them with a snuggie...

    Gotcha. It's interesting hearing different people's perspectives on this stuff.

    I like those roses and how that bright gold/yellow part at the top contrasts against all the blue

    for those of you in the bay area- there's a piece of Conn flash with 3 awesome lady heads that me and Lochlan always drool over. I've seen it in both Temple and Blackheart. I only found this tiny picture of it online. In person it's fucking rad

    My question is why let your son get tattooed so young but not your daughter even when she's well past the legal age? Granted I feel like what he did with his back was a mistake (I hate unfinished pieces- let alone something that was tapped out after 30 mins of lining) and maybe you didn't want her to make the same mistake- but like you said she is 23! Just curious

    so I just saw this gem on a homie in the studio I was recording in last week: LEWLISW stands for "Live Every Week Like It's Shark Week" hahahahaha so great! he said it was done by Erick Lynch @ Redemption Tattoo in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

    Post links to streams, reviews, etc. here. Or you can talk about that new album you just picked up and love. To start it off, here's a link to a stream of the new Social Distortion album "Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes." I know we've been discussing this band's upcoming tour in the Showlist Thread Social Distortion "Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes" pre-release stream

    fuck yes! I get some of my best laughs from that thread

    All good man. I know I just posted a lengthy response to the post in question, but it didn't anger me one bit. A difference of opinions is natural- without it there would be no such thing as a discussion board. Here's to approaching ideas with an open mind and a positive outlook! Welcome to the site!

    I'm going to preface this with the statement that I don't watch much TV and I've never seen Miami Ink and I've only seen one pitiful drama filled episode of LA Ink (ugh). From what I've heard from artists involved in the Miami Ink stuff though, they've all had nothing but positive things to say about their experience hanging in Miami and tattooing. You reference how Temple is in the same list as Ami's shop... I was just getting tattooed by Freddy Corbin yesterday and he was telling me how he had fun in Miami during that time. I agree that it's stupid to see people with fake tattoo sleeves and tattoo clothing and tattoo cologne and all this mainstream bullshit. I don't think that Ami's shop is a manifestation of this ignorance though. Yes he chose to broadcast stuff on television and make some money, but he still hired a staff of people like Hendricks, Wessman, Corbin, etc. who all do phenomenal work. It's like hating on a band for choosing to join a major record label and saying they sold out. If they're still putting out quality music then fuck it who cares how many people are buying the record. If these artists are still doing quality work then fuck it who cares how many people are getting tattooed by them. Yes the drama is stupid and that's why I don't watch these shows but the artists I know who were involved are still reputable and that's why one should really choose a shop. Also I don't think the point of this site is to piss on the mainstream bullshit so much as it is to promote positivity and good tattoo craftsmanship. You could probably argue that Miami Ink doesn't promote positivity within a seemingly overcrowded trade, but on the other hand it has lead to an influx in customers for a lot of better shops which can only be helpful. Here's a link to a thread that discusses the dilemma of these TV shows more in depth, Cable Invasion ( Miami Ink, LA Ink, Tattoo TV Shows). It's definitely a loaded topic that someone who's actually watched the show is probably more qualified than me to speak about it.

    weird. I love that painting but those just don't translate to body that well. maybe it's just because they're only the elephants and they're very literal interpretations. I think a sleeve inspired by that painting could actually turn out awesome. like with the man holding the cross down by the wrist and a variety of crazy contorted animals wrapping all the way up the arm. the artist would HAVE to put his own personal twist on it to fit it to that space
