I don’t know if there’s any particular reason, but the number of tattoos done by Honkey Kong with a (potentially) political message seems be on the rise.
Of course, I could be totally wrong. This elephant might just happen to own a man-suit, a gun, and an attitude problem.

In my last post, I speculate whether or not time-lapse tattoo videos appealed to your average tattoo client. Along those same lines, what do you think about the detailed video recap like the one below? It’s obviously a great way to get a detailed show of a tattoo, but is it more effective than a quality picture?
With over one hundred videos on their Youtube Channel, the king of these videos is Guru Tattoo. I can only assume they take the time to do this because people talk about the videos, right?

At first glance, I thought there was some kind of camera malfunction when Paul took these photos. Then I realized he blurred out all the surrounding tattoo work he did not do. I’m always intrigued by how tattooers choose to show which work is (and more importantly, isn’t) theirs when they post photos online. Big X’s, blackouts and blurs seem to be the most popular.
Do any of you have a preference about which approach a tattooer takes? Why?

From June 22nd to the 26th, Jeremy Sutton will be tattooing at Three Kings Tattoo. If you’re interested in getting tattooed by Jeremy, give the shop a call. As of right now, I believe he still has sometime open.
