Lindsay Lohan to open tattoo parlor
http://news.sawf.org/Entertainment/17988.aspx
London, Aug 10: Lindsay Lohan who is almost on a break from her hectic schedule, has found a new career which could suit her present lifestyle. She is
all set to open a tattoo parlor in Los Angeles.
Instead of filming new flick Georgia Rule and promoting her pop career, she has been leisurely resting at home.
She recently had a fitting tattoo done on her hip which reads La Bella Vita (the beautiful life).
It has inspired her to open a new boutique-style parlor to cater for all her Hollywood pals.
Apparently she wants it to be cool, clean and clinical ? in sharp contrast to the usual grimy backstreet joints.
?Lindsay is setting up her own tattoo place which will be like a trendy, glass-fronted fashion store. She will work on her own designs and will market
it to young society people,? a friend of Lohan was quoted by The Sun, as saying.
?Lindsay wants to create a complete brand which will move into clothes and merchandising. She?s looking for business partners and tattooists to come
in on it with her,? she added.
Apparently she wants it to be cool, clean and clinical ? in sharp contrast to the usual grimy backstreet joints.
whats wrong with the grimy backstreet joints ?

Fuck that whore and all her whore friends.
Well, its this place where nobody works, and the pigs don\'t give you any shit. Everyone smokes weed and gets drunk all day. Its a place where
cunts like me and you can truly take it easy and relax. Know what I mean?

This is so outrageous I have no words. If this is succesfull I will lose all faith in the tattoo industry. It has been all but filled to the gills
with every tom dick and harry who just graduated from some prestigeous art school and wants in on the "easy money" and has been whored beyond belief.
It is not the same business it used to be at all

You know what though...I'd rather see professionally trained artists whoring it out.
Tattooing is so far from taboo now a days that point isn't even worth discussing.
Right now I see so many people who are part of the tattoo culture trying to be artists just because they can run a machine. While there has to be some
happy medium between talentless tattoo machine operator and artist...I'd rather see it weighed much more heavily in the artists direction.
I'd rather see some non tattooed yuppie looking guy slinging incredible ink than one more industry person with face tattoos whos "socially
unacceptable" slinging shitty ink just because their in with the crowd.
Look at those tattoo shows for example...and that Yoshi dude...the guy can;t even draw and hes doing tattoos? They got the fucking guy practicing art
so he can do better tattoos...he shouldnt even be doing ink if he cant draw!
Its not just that dude...I know people like that in firends shops. Give me an artist anyday.
As far as Lohans shop...let that broad do whatever she wants...all its going to be is a bunch of socialites getting tramp stamps anyway.

For anyone with these types of tattoos who have never actually sailed the pond or any of the high seas, I have one question. If you can answer it
without doing any research on it I can live with the fact that you have adopted these images without actually "earning" them (this is just my opinion,
and yes I am a dick) Traditionally, what two animals did Naval Sailors have tattooed on them, on what body part and for what reason? Remember, no
research. Have fun with it...............As a bonus question, what does it mean when we say "It's cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey."

This was the point I was trying to make, just because you have an art degree and consider yourself an artist does not mean you have what it takes to
work in the medium of a machine and flesh. You have to pay your fuckin dues like it used to be and learn this technique. As far as scratchers, there
is no room for them and they flood the business as well because the state laws require cleanliness, not skill. Tattoo licenses are paid for these
days, not earned, this is where I feel the business is whored out. This whole upscale retreat for Hollywood's cultural bloodsuckers to "hang out and
get plenty of photo ops" at is just another way for someone to exploit a beautiful and rich tradition without having any knowledge of it whatsoever
for the sake of trend appearances.

A brass monkey was an indented plate designed to hold cannonballs. When it was very cold the metal contract enough to send the cannonballs rolling
around the deck.
Don't know about the animals. But then I'm a jumper not a puker.

no its not
its "cool" now
just like tribal was a few years ago
just like pin up girls were years ago
just like a million things in the tattoo culture
learning to tattoo is a skill and like learning a trade such as being a plummer
you dont have to be some art school faggot to put a good tattoo on someone
if you think so, you need to read up on the history
you come at the king....you best not miss

A good tattooist does not need to be a good artist if he only wishes to do 60 year old flash designs. Thats pretty obvious and doesn't have much to do
with history.
The problem is that that was then and this is now. The same person who is competant enough to run a tattoo machine and trace over Sailor Jerry flash
is also the same person who is not competant enough to do the portrait hes charging to do on his very next customer. Walk into any tattoo shop on
earth and flip through peoples portfolios...it's fucking scary out there.
If my local car mechanic decides he wants to do tattoos and has never drawn a day in his life but can make a tattoo machine purr...his knowledge of
mechanics and industry history isn;t going to polish a turd into anything other than a turd.

trends in tattoo styles are pretty funny in my opinion. biomechanical tribal from the mid-90s, anyone? i got a star tattooed on me while living in
san fran six years ago for exactly that reason... i was the only person who didn't have one yet!
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

I made it through the nineties without one tribal piece. My wife and I were just speculating on this recently and found it funny. One of the lucky few
I guess.
