Great news article. Maybe I will check out the news more often.

i love that they still maintain that old school surliness. especially on St. Marks, which is becoming an underground Disney ride.

thank you thank you... i was so excited when i saw needled.com yesterday..... !!! that was so rad...

thanks for your comments, yes it is a sofa, simply shot just using one standard household lamp, but i moved it around until i got the lighting how i wanted it, my lecturer said that it was a beautifull print, and he rarely gives positive feedback.

I will not be fulfilled in life until someone actually chokes to death.

Let's be friends and junk.

that's what I originally thought but i've been hearing things like "pussy cry baby" passed around to describe the creator. of course, i hear these statements from disreputable artists so maybe there's the difference.

I obviously know more about the legal community than the tattooing community (besides, you know, having tattoos) but I think this is something that needs to be done. I would think that any "pussy cry baby" stigma would be outweighed by the benefit this would confer on the tattoo community in general, particularly the well-known and reputable artists. It may piss off those who are willing to copy someone else's work and they may very well be the majority - but for people who take pride in their work and those who go out of their way to get work from those artists, I think it needs to be done.

Yeah of course!...I don't have tatoos but I like to see them... I was there two times....Milano is my town...

cool. maybe we'll see you there next year!

The exhibition in Asheville is really cool .It has lots of flashes and pictures from many famous American tattoo artists from the 30's on.

id rather stick to being a tattooed dirt bag but thats just me and usually when people ask me i say either kill yourself or i get off on pain or my personal favorite is i had nothing better to do at the time same goes for my ears that are 7/8 i love the what are you gunna do when your older and im like if i actually live that long ill be an old guy with tattoos and big ears what else would i be? but thats just me

i love your hair! mine is about the same curliness, so i love seeing other people rock the curls.... thought i hate my hair :|.

anyways, i love this, "trying to discern if I was "an Albanian whore" supping with my pimp of course." ha ha ha, who thinks that?

That is one scary-ass mask there...

Re: workwear to the club:

Try it, te reaction should be interesting. I rarely wear a suit, but when I lived in Philly I made a point of going to my favorite smoky, hipster-infested dive bar (owned by a friend of mine), post-performance while in formalwear or a nice Italian suit. The staff and regulars always gave me the usual "Cheers" style welcome, the others were amusingly bewildered.

Nothing like challenging the perceptions of those who believe they are challenging the "normal people's" perceptions.

and a minor note: typically one responds to journal comments in the other person's journal, so that they are aware you've responded.

Cheers!
