I think the title says it all, really. This is a truly scary guy.

How Tattoos Are Done
Straightedge Toast
Possibly because I have a real soft spot for straight edge tattoos and punk/hc tattoos, possibly because they are just hilarious.
Description from the horse's mouth below:
All my friends have toast tattoos, because when you're poor and dumpster for your food bread is always readily available - it's this thing that kinda unifies us at this point in our lives. The Earth Crisis theme came about when some silly hardline XVX kids were staying at this punk house and talking about how belittling a band with serious issues is a bad thing, and how EC was cool and really helped push ideas into hardcore, and then they started insulting the people who lived at that house by degrading them and saying they had bad views, even making someone get near the verge of crying because she ate sparingly fish.
I realized that the lyrics for the beginning of Firestorm worked really well with toast (the original lyrics for those who don't know are "Street by street/block by block/taking it all back", referring to cleansing a neighborhood of drug dealers.) I went and got the tattoo done in an hour, showed them, and started drinking and eating cheese for the rest of the night (even though I was vegan at the time.) They stopped talking to me, and left shortly after.
I'm going to be getting a tattoo really soon that is based off of the anarchist atheist saying "No Gods, No Masters", but its gonna say "Dogs, No Masters" and have a kennel on fire and someone holding a leash with his brains blown out, and upside down crosses made of milk bones. I didn't think up that saying, though

More amazing back pieces
What happened to this angel's feet? Don't they look just like stumps? Also why is one angel stomping the other one's head? I think I see some horns on the bottom angel there, so maybe it's Lucifer being shown what's up.
Let me show you a wonderful trio of ridiculous back tattoos:
Now I know that this photo was taken mid-scabby-stage so I won't be *too* harsh about the quality of the tattooing here, because it's really hard to tell. HOWEVER, it's impossible to tell what's going on! I do see some flaming dice, and a '3', but what are the weird globby things on each shoulder? They look like rotting lettuce.
Okay, now this one just confuses me. I am under the assumption that it's not finished. The triangle thing on the left is one of the worst tattoos I've seen, but seems like a pretty explainable bad tattoo to get. The Japanese guy on the right is not actually that bad, and obviously isn't done yet. What REALLY baffles me though, is what is on the bottom. It looks like a scratched on sunbathing girl at the beach! IT CAN'T BE SO! sdlkfjslfjs! Amazing.
Awkward Work Schedule:
Over the next couple of weeks I will be moving to a new apartment. Hooray! As some of you already know, I have a very cute pet rabbit who happens to be very sick with an ear infection. Boo! (She's on meds and bedrest, don't worry, I'm taking care of her.) Add these two together and I have about 15 hours less in a day than I need... I'm sure you can relate.
So, I'll be at the shop as close to normal hours as possible until May 1st. Those of you that have appointments don't have to worry, this won't change our plans. I would simply suggest that anyone looking to come in for a consultation give the shop a call prior to coming down. This way you don't waste your time schlepping to a tattoo shop minus a tattoo artist.
Also, since when it rains, it pours... my laptop has gone screwy again. Email, as always, is the best way of getting in touch with me.
I expect things to fall back into normalcy quickly. Have no fear!
If anyone's still wondering what ever happened to that surgery I'm supposed to have, here's the uneventful update: I haven't had it yet! According to the insurance company, I will be eligible to have it covered come July. When I have a date set, you will know ASAP.
Thanks for paying attention. Hope you're all well.
See you soon!
Financial Aid:
Bella Vendetta needs some help.
she's been supporting herself and her husband, Trash, (who is in prison) for the last two + years and has another year to go. she's been working a shitty job w/ even shittier hours just to try to make ends meet. with the economy tanking, things have been getting really tough for her. please help out and donate anything you can. $5, $10, anything will help.
right now, she hasn't been able to even talk to him on the phone, let alone make the trip to Maine from Massachusetts to actually see him for a few minutes. i have donated to people i don't know before when browsing various sites. when i needed help a few years ago after my car was broken into, a lot of people helped me out even though i didn't know them. i'm hoping this community still has the same view of helping each other out.
thanks.
Cover Ups:
Maria needed a cover up, as well. We traded lettering for some orchids.
