At the 2008 Oldschool tattoo expo, Dave Sanchez, Megan Hoogland, her lovely bf, and Jessica(snakeface books) were at breakfast at a place I highly recommend called ‘crepes in the city.’  It was a little cold that day, and Id forgotten my jacket.  When we left the place, Jessica made a comment about being cold, and I jokingly said, “Man up Pussy!”  And old lady happened to be passing us, just as I said this.  She look llike Tony Sopranos Mom.  She looked at me disgusted and said, “SHAME!  Shame is the word for you!”  We all stopped in confusion, and I busted up laughing.  As she got down the street a little ways, she turned and yelled, “Leave the city NOW!!”  

Id forgotten my banner this trip, so when we returned to the show, I made a banner on an 8 x 10 piece of paper of a finger pointing at me, telling me Shame and to leave the city.  If youre reading this Mrs. Soprano, thanks for the inspiration behind my new favorite banner, and the new inside jokes.

I think it’s so funny when i get a client who says it’s already numb.. .   they never go numb!!!!!!! ink doesn’t numb the skin!!!! nor does a several hour session. tattoos hurt & thats the bottom line. some people have a tolerance for tattoos, some don’t.. . but nobody unless you’re paralized you’re gonna feel the needle through out the tattoo.. . it may get tolerable, but never will it go numb!!!!!

I was working at my friends shop in Logan Utah on my days off back in 2003.  The Piercer there had set me up an appointment with some lady, and all she wanted was a small red heart literally the size of a pea.  She’d only left a 20$ deposit, and the minimum at the time was 50$.

I waited around, and she’d finally shown up.  300 lbs, wearing a red sweater(like the kool aid man) and had a bunch of warts inbetween her nose and face, that cause her nose to almost plug itself.  On top of all that, she didnt smell like flowers either.

She said she didnt want to start until her friend had arrived, so we waited almost an hour and a half.  This whole time waiting I was trying to convince her to just get it over with, and that it would take maybe 5 minutes.  She told me I could just keep her money, and that she was scared.  It was my only client that day, and I’d driven 2 hours so I wasnt going home with 20 bucks.  We waited a little while longer and I finally managed to convince her to let me do it.

I had my new travel set of pigments, and hadnt yet switched my pop tops, to screw tops.  I was already over this lady, and when I went to shake my red pigment, I didnt hold the top on, and it shot off turning my new jeans red.  I was lit.  I drew the little heart on, and tattooed it finishing in no time at all.  Then I asked, “Not so bad right?”  And she replied with, “Yeah, you were right!  It wasnt nearly as bad as having the warts removed from my Vagina.”  I about Shit!!  I didnt know whether or not to puke, or die laughing.  Or puke laughing!  I tried to make a quick getaway, and as I ran my tubes past the piercing room, I saw the piercer standing there jaw dropped, and eyes wide open.  He quietly muttered, “What THE FUCK DID SHE SAY!?”  I gave him the ‘you asshole’ face, and went about my business.

I gathered myself, and charged her the rest of the amount, that was far to low for such a horrifying ordeal.  50$ isnt even enough to pay a hypnotist to block this out of my life, let alone a therapist for the potential damage this couldve had on my head, had I not been worked up to this situation from being around the random crap that goes on in tattoo shops.

Her friend finally arrived.  I was expecting an overweight, heavy breathing, drueling, butt sweating, sick jabba the hut look a like.  But he was a 19 year old clean cut strange pop collared kid.

I dont want to know what kind of sick shit theyre into.

Not that we get any, but a passed chance for a prank call is looked down on around these parts. The prank calls I have witnessed have been mind blowing. Some at the shop are better than others at this fine art,and the moments the have shined have made my day more than once. This story came from a time when we worked in an upstairs office in a ruff area of town. Drugs and green cards were sold from a pay phone across the street, we could see it from our window. So we got the number and started calling. Vic was the master and he would pretend to be a drug dealer or a cop it always ended with something crude or rude, well any way this one time he was trying to fuck with this gangster and it was going nowhere fast. So he bluntly told this guy he wanted to fuck him in the ass. The guy jumped back looked at the phone and yelled into it “what the fuck!!!”then vic replied calmly”I want to fuck you in your ass” the guy then turned to his huge scary friend and told him what had just been said.The next thing we knew the big guy hops on the phone and points right at us ant says “I’m looking for yooouuu” then slowly moves his finger around . we were so freaked out, we thought for sure our gig was up.But it turned out he didn’t know shit. Any way later we told some of our piercer friends about it a lunch (they work at iris piercing and rock!)they thought it was funny and we all had a good time talking about it. A few hours after getting back from lunch we get a call,the guy said” found you fuuuckkeerr” then hung up. we were sure we were getting jumped if we went out side. But a couple days passed and no one got beat up or shot. soon we ran into our friends from that lunch, and the fist thing said was ” found you fuckers”. it was good to know the prank had been turned on us and there we no angry gangsters!
