seeking

i don't know.why do black guys wear shorts, wife beaters and those chest/back protectors with their full face helmets resting on top of their head while they read around? life is full of mystery and wonder.

Re: Travel Log - 2011 - USA real talk. i don't wanna hear about what y'all loud mouths wanna do, i wanna read about what homeboy IS doing.

good eye, watson. (oh snap). dude has giant butthole ears and just looped them around his ear to get it out of way of photo. fuck thats disgusting.

totally thought that first one was uncle allan. yikes.

i dont rush tattoos at conventions. i am usually pretty driz though.

dogs not doing shots. my jack russell loves beer though. lil homie goes to the bar with me sometimes. guiness is his shit.

my ability to communicate when drunk is kind of a fucking curse. no matter how hammered i am, i can still make at least a little bit of sense if i put my mind to it. i often don't remember it the next day, but in the moment i'm good. particularly with typing. or maybe $90 at the bar on my own tab just doesn't get me nearly as drunk as it used to i don't know. I'm doing patron shots with my dogs now, we'll see how things stand in a few.

ha, im a big dick drink and have fun guy. i don't speak for tattooing i speak for myself. i try to do the best tattoos i can for people no matter how dumb some people might think they are. if its a baby mama name, i want to do the best baby mama name in that entire project building. I'm grateful to get to do stuff that i enjoy doing but I'm even more grateful to get to make a living doing a job that i'd do for free. thats why shit like this bothers me. its not that I'm jealous of him or his success or whatever, I'm bothered when it seems that people don't respect the opportunities that they're given. this person came to homeboy and wanted this tattoo and this is what he's living with. theres no fucking way he looks in the mirror and doesn't see that fruit stripes gum ass shading in the skin. fuck that. it would have taken him 20 minutes total to smooth that shit out. no excuse. sorry, i don't mean to talk so damn much. i don't fancy myself that important I'm just drunk, typing with my eyes closed listening to isis and aerogramme which if you don't have you should get cause it fucking rules.

ha. don't be confused. i don't think I'm gods gift to tattooing. I'm a glorified street shop tattooer. I'm not some big dick custom guy. i do 'arty' sort of shit, but its just because it seems thats what people want from me. or at least its the stuff that i chose to present myself with. but this shit..... this motherfucker, i know he CAN tattoo well if he wants to. I've got friends who work with him. I'm sure he's a nice guy but fucking christ.... how could you send that thing out the door with your name on it and feel good about it? the skin looks like fucking dog shit. that wouldn't have been acceptable 60 years ago, it sure as fuck isn't now. i HATE the shit nikko does, but theres gotta be some happy medium between the two. that tattoo isn't even 'crude' in the way that people seem to love these days, its just fucking lazy. that design could have been awesome too. its totally unconventional, totally weird. could have been a bad ass tattoo but instead it looks like he treated it like it was some golf ball sized walk in and phoned that shit in instead of trying to make it nice. fucking embarrassing IMO. then again my opinion is heavily influenced by tequila right now.

doesn't gross me out, just looks like shit. how that dude could think that skin tone was acceptable is fucking beyond me. that thing is huge, absolutely no reason for such shitty hands. lazy ass tattooers relying on the mystique of their own legend. seeks/drunk/fuck off

not my favorite biedren tattoo by far, but damn, i love that guys work. so many rad things going on in there. apply it in a different way and you're hurting em.

thats a really, really terrible tattoo btw.

haha. awesome.

that guy has really pretty eyes.

is that the ness fairing? did you cut the sides out or is that how it comes?

ha. whatever. id rather a club member make the money than some scratcher or meth head.

ha, thats the miami ink font. i didn't assume it was any good, but you never know. i like to give people the benefit of the doubt. fuck knows why.

trips (or NBB i suppose), you know which chapter happy (david labrava) from SOA is with? and is his shop (evil ink) any good?

something is rattling in the front of my bike. if i don't find it tomorrow I'm gonna set the bike on fucking fire. its driving me crazy.

bigger bikes are gonna be heavy as shit trying to get up on a center stand. that honda shadow i had for a month was a pita and that thing weighed way less than my dyna. road king or street glide, you're never gonna get up.

indy i used to take my bike to in savannah had them, but instead of 4x8 it was steel tubing welded into the the same shape. so simple and easy. doesn't replace a hydraulic table, but for simple stuff its useful as shit. especially since my bike is too low for a floor jack.

seriously, the amount of dumb shit that these fools deal with on the daily is plantains. enough drama for a lifetime and it all goes down in a week.

so should i start ruining it for all you west coasters?
