What would happen if you put a Monarch, an elven-eared old man and some biomech together? To be honest, I never had–but now I know the answer!

I’m sure I could pull all kind of deep meanings out of this, but I’d rather just look at the colors and feel like I’m staring at some high-end Lisa Frank image instead.

There was a man who was walking along a sandy beach where thousands of starfish had been washed up on the shore. He noticed a boy picking the starfish one by one and throwing them back into the ocean. The man observed the boy for a few minutes and then asked what he was doing. The boy replied that he was returning the starfish to the sea, otherwise they would die. The man asked how saving a few, when so many were doomed, would make any difference whatsoever? The boy picked up a starfish and threw it back into the ocean and said “Made a difference to that one…” The man left the boy and went home, deep in thought of what the boy had said. He soon returned to the beach and spent the rest of the day helping the boy throw starfish in to the sea….

It’s always been inspiring to watch tattoo apprentices really develop over the years, but lately it seems like it’s been happening faster than it used to. We received this tattoo below from John Kang, and he’s a perfect example of what I’m talking about.
I’ve been apprenticing under Mark Duhan for two months now…

It’s Friday the 13th, and whether you hate it or love it, the $13 tattoo special is once again upon us. A number of shops are holding various specials, so I would suggest checking with your local shop if you don’t see anyone nearby on the list below.
Before you take a look at the list of shops, please remember that tattoo shops hold special events like this for fun. That means if you’re extremely picky about what you want, this probably is not the day for you to get tattooed. It might not be a bad idea to dig out a couple of extra dollars to tip your artist as well. As much fun as it looks, these days are fairly stressful for the artists.
