The biggest irritation about these little shitfucks that tattoo out of their house is that it is the state's responsibility to find these people and either fine or jail them! Unfortunately, those of us that pay for an autoclave, spore testing, licensing, shop rent, taxes, etc., get fucked because as I was told by the state, "We can't just go and investigate everyone that's reported to be tattooing out of their house." WTF indeed. Our money, evidently goes for much better things than protecting the public from these scabs.
This little choad will continue to successfully tattoo out of his house for years to come and NOTHING will ever come of it. And, to make matters worse, he'll get tons of business from other little maggots because they undoubtedly know a good deal when they see it. Idiocracy is here to stay.
Hopefully he fucks up a cool text tattoo on a biker's kid and gets what's coming to him. |

Here's the thing though. If you have to commit my very finite tax dollars to a public protection area, chasing down illegal tattooers is about number 10 millionth on the list. It's peoples own poor choices that land them there. I get that people are naive and there is legit health concerns, but it is what it is. If you're talking quality of work, again, evolution. Most people have had a bad tattoo. I understand that the health risks are bad, but how about some tax dollar sponsored ads during American Idol and Jersey Shore that say "Tattoos:Do your research. Get tattooed in a shop....." Nancy Regan did them for years with drugs. Everybody know what your brain looks like on drugs. I just think legitimately trying to hunt down and stop these people is pissing into the wind. A little bit of education goes a long way...

| It takes them getting a bunch of people sick or the parent of a minor to get them in any trouble. The only thing that bugs me is when they charge a shop rate and do shitty work out of their house. People will still go because they can party and get loaded. |

I totally get that stopping scratchers is way down on the government's priority list BUT when they specifically stated that as a priority in the necessity for licensing here in Washington, we as tattooers thought that our fees would be used for that. But when scratchers advertise on Facebook, craigslist or wherever that they're having a 'tattoo party' or that they're tattooing out of their house it seems to me that it wouldn't be too hard to do a few stings and maybe scare the shit out of them or make an exampe out of them somehow.
This said money from these fees could adequately do something useful like that to show us that its not all about revenue and tattooers can go piss up a rope.
They do stings for alcohol, tobacco, and other items so why not for illegal tattooing as well? I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir, but it was a necessary rant. |

He specializes in realism, though he has not actually done any. Perhaps he specializes in theorizing about realism. |

Yeah I don't really give a fuck what scratchers do. If people are dumb enough to go to some bum's garage and do it, then more power to them. I really don't care if their infected with anything. Every dumbass has at least one smart friend, parent, relative, etc.
I have never felt sorry for people that make dumb decisions and never wanted anyone to feel sorry for me.
This day and age, everyone that watches tv thinks their going to be an "artist". I agree Jay. I certainly don't want any of my tax dollars going to fight "tattoo crime". We already pay for enough dumb shit like unemployed people's kids, and their college funds. |

Is it just me, or are these tattoos actually sort of clean?
Not saying scratchers are good or anything. I'm completely aware of all the dangers of infection, etc.
Just being objective though, how's this artwork? Maybe I'm crazy...what to I know lol. |

The line work looks pretty solid, but the shading (what little there is) is poor. Honestly, I expected much worse. |
