There’s a couple of good shops in Mass, I love Off the Map in Easthampton and Redemption in Cambridge. What kind of motorcycle do you ride?

An ’86 Honda VFR700F2.

have you seen the messages which we show when people sign up?

I have always had a no unlicensed tattoo discussion on here but what level do we go to? stop everyone from asking if their work is ok unless they are confirmed artists?

and even then half the countires or some states just dont have any laws so there is no…[Read more]

Talk is cheap in the world of art – talk is for politicians. If you are too ashamed to show your work (art on paper or tattoo) in a tattoo community which is inherently art, then why bother coming here at all? And why come in with such a defensive attitude. You’ve admitted already you will take your lumps, so just join,…[Read more]

Why do we welcome scratchers here? Fuck that

Because scratchers are tattoo enthusiasts, too. You don’t have to approve of how we go about tattooing, or how we learned. No, I’m not as good as a professional, but that doesn’t mean my work is shit. I inform everyone I tattoo that I am not licensed or formally trained, they…[Read more]

I get that there has always been a certain status quo, but some of these guys act like deviating from that status quo will rip a hole in the time-space continuum. I have first hand knowledge of what happens when you try to…[Read more]

First off, welcome to the forum Matt.

Secondly, your initial post is so full of animosity that it’s no wonder some people might choose to get annoyed. Not because you’re a scratcher, but because you come in here with an attitude and automatically assuming everyone here is an asshole.

Granted, you’re not entirely wrong in…[Read more]

I’ve done one tribal so far, but it was with a stencil. That one came out pretty good, so I’ll see if I can meet up with the guy who has it for a picture. I think a tribal is in my future as well, once I decide on a location.

I was a member on a different tattoo forum, who apparently had an unwritten “ban on sight” policy towards “scratchers”, so I sort of became accustomed to a certain level of dislike.
I’ll take a picture of some of my work next time I see one of the friends who have one of my pieces. I’ve got…[Read more]

I am introducing myself. I’m Matt, it’s good to meet you Wardy.
Say that’s a dodge, say I’m a troll, whatever. I’d like to think we can get past the prejudices and get to know each other, or at least accept each other.
