On Friday, February 3rd, Art Machine Productions will be holding an art show based around Philadelphia tattoo artists. With the amount of talent in Philadelphia, there’s no doubt this will be an amazing show.

I’m not going to lie, Julene would do a much much better job of writing something witty about a John Steinback tattoo. Unfortunately she’s not writing this entry, so instead I’m going to leave you with this quote for this untraditionally traditional portrait.

“Give a critic an inch, he’ll write a play.” -John Steinbeck

Myke Chambers spent a couple days at Off the Map Tattoo at the end of October, and it looks like it was time well spent.

If you’re an Instagram user, follow Myke under the screen name ‘MykeChambers‘. Don’t fear if you’re not on Instagram, you’ll just have to stalk follow Myke via his Twitter.

One of the fun parts about these theme days is the interaction we have with fans and artists throughout the day.

For example, Charlie Kilshaw left a comment earlier “This is awesome news. I’ve been looking for fox tattoo inspiration for ages, so I hope you get tons of submissions! Especially … like an old school wolf, but instead of a wolf, a rad fox! Hmmm..”

Hopefully this will inspire you and point you in the right direction!

I’ve been waiting for Ink & Dagger Tattoo to announce the dates for Man Day, and they finally did. The testerone filled event will be taking place Saturday, August 13th. From 12pm to 4pm, the crew will be at the shop hammering out $50 Man Day tattoos. From 5pm to 12am, make your way down to Twains Billards and Tap for all of the manly fun.

Last year I was fortunate enough to be able to attend Man Day, and made a video to recap the event. The video turned out really well (if I can say so myself) and it really captured the spirit of the event. At approximately one minute into the video, I show Myke Chambers and Timmy B. pretending to be very affectionate with each other. While this was obviously a joke, people really jumped on the band wagon and gave Myke and Timmy a hard time about the video. This subject came up again in Detroit, and Myke was able to record his official rebuttal.

Below are the two videos. The first video is the Man Day from 2010, and below that is Myke’s rebuttal.

Myke Chambers has spent the past week hanging out at Ink & Dagger Tattoo, where he did the tattoo below. Myke’s headed to Endless Summer Tattoo in Cocoa Beach, Florida next. If you’re interested in getting tattooed, give Myke a shout.

The Tattooed Life Tour made a stop in Cincinnati this past weekend. Unfortunately, I was only able to hang out for a few hours, but I managed to snap a handful of pictures.

Once you’re done wooing over the detail in these eight knuckles, you might recognize the wearer of the pieces.
