Texas Toast

The next time you’re eating some Texas Toast, you’ll be thinking of this tattoo.

… this is totally sacriligious. Nothing else to be said about that, I think.

VIDEO: The Gypsy Gentleman, Episode Two

Episode 1 of Marcus Kuhn’s The Gypsy Gentleman was filmed here in NYC–watch it here, if you haven’t already–and like most of you, I was praying there were more episodes to come. Sure enough, Mr. Kuhn did not disappoint. For episode 2, the crew headed to Austin, TX to speak with Tony Hundahl and Steve Byrne–further proof that not only is Marcus committed to doing this project right, but bringing in the best names to help him in the process.

They’ve gone so far as to tell us what to expect in Episode 3: San Francisco!

The Birdcage

1996 was a rough year for Robin Williams. He made The Birdcage, Jack, and two other movies you’ve never heard of. What does this have to do with this tattoo? Nothing, the birdcage just made me think of that terrible Robin Williams movie. Thankfully this tattoo has nothing do with anything I just wrote.

Still droppin’ lines

When I think of Liz Cook’s work, Sailor Jerry flash is far from the first thing that comes to my mind. Looks like she can still line shit out with the best of ‘em, though.

Hope for bad tattoo wearers everywhere

Whenever I get to post a well done cover up, I feel like I’m giving people hope. I’m looking at you with the Goldberg barbwire tattoo, or you with the tribal lower back tattoo. Find a great tattoo artists, and you too can move past those terrible tattoos!

Swoopin’ in

Am I the only one who spends all of Sunday feeling like Monday is a hawk waiting to swoop in and kill all my fun?

Following Liz Cook

It’s always good to hear Liz Cook, especially when she sends pictures and news we can share. I’m particularly excited to tell everyone that Liz has finally officially caved and started a Twitter account. I was even more excited to read her plans for 2012:

Late January will have me flying back in to Dallas and preparing to start off the year by getting straight in to a busy convention schedule for 2012. The first lot of conventions I will be doing is Inked Hearts, then the Amarillo Ink Life Tour, followed by the Detroit Motor City Expo. I’m pretty booked up for these 3 shows but I will be announcing a lot more conventions for 2012 and booking for them soon, as well as taking bookings for Dallas throughout 2012.

You can’t go wrong with Rock of Ages

You simply can’t go wrong with a ‘Rock of Ages’ tattoo, especially when Steve Byrne is doing it.
