R2-D2, it is you, it is you!

We’ve posted a number of Star Wars tattoos, but this is without a doubt my favorite. I’m not even a huge Star Wars fan, but I’d gladly donate the top of my hand for this.

On the hunt for Vince Villalvazo

I tried to catch up with Vince Villalvazo at the Detroit Motorcity Expo, but I could never find him. Every time I passed his booth, he was nowhere around.

Hopefully I’ll catch up with him soon, I’d love to finally meet him.

A collaboration that’ll melt your face

I think of collaboration piece as the ménage à trois of tattooing. Who approaches who? Do you talk it out with your tattoo artist first to find out who he or she is into? Which tattoo artist takes control? Who does what? Who goes first? What if someone wants to try something different?

In all seriousness, it does seem like a complicated process. I’d love to get a collaboration tattoo, but I honestly don’t know how to approach it. I have a feeling a number of collectors and tattoo artists feel the same as I do, and sometimes it’s just easier to just have one amazing artist do the piece. I’m sure when you have a number of artists working together in the same shop (such as All or Nothing,) the process can come together pretty easily. That seems like the story for the piece below.
