A 1981 documentary about the life of circus tattoo artist Stoney St. Claire.

These are fun. Peep the French pioneer of “ignorant style’s” new website while you’re at it.

This book is a collection of Martha Cooper’s photographs focusing on the then secret art, and began the life and work of traditional Japanese tattooist Horibun I. It’s a must have for those who appreciate both the craft of tattooing and photography.

I have some dumb tattoos. I LOVE dumb tattoos. I’m in Lafayette, Louisiana so decided why not get more? All I knew was it was either going to say Game Recognize Game or On With The Show. I saw a wizzzzzzzard and instantly recognized he had mad game. The guy tattooing me did not have a portfolio. He seemed cool and had been in the tattoo game for two years, so I just went with it. Half way through the wizzzzzard I saw the ICP on his forearm. I was so excited. Like when I see cake. We talked about ICP. He mad dedicated to them. Word. After we finished I asked if he had any more ICP ink. BAM he did not disappoint. Thanks Josh. This Faygo is for you.
