Point well taken gabe

Yes sir you have just put the size thirteen in your mouth image 13 at badtattoos.com is a Michelle Wortman piece ! Thank you so much for the fuel to burn my fire ! Now on the subject of portfolios wish i could give you something but unfortunately i do not tattoo but i have been in and around the business probably longer than you have been alive and know a thing or three about what a technically good tattoo should look like . And hers are neither technicaly sound nor artisticaly inclined ! So a "bad tattoo" is just that a "bad tattoo" ! Bad tattoos.com says so and so do you ! thank you

I have size 10 feet and have often been seen biting my toenails (though I dont put em completely in my mouth often). Its a bad habit, but hey. Im super glad theres bad tattoos on badtattoos.com! Thats where they belong. We should post the names of all the fantastic artists on there, there are some very talented artists with their early early work on that site. Everyone has to start somewhere. Luckily when artists concentrate on improving their work and not bashing, they get better with age. Well, some folks get away with both... Its great you have spent my lifetime learning all about the technical aspects of tattooing and the culture, but evidently in 30 years you havnt learned manners. I may be a young un, but Ive defintily learned to spend my energies learning and getting better, not bashing other folks. I wonder, can you teach an old dog new tricks... No wait, I dont really care! All Im asking ya to do is not needlessly bash people on my messageboard. Please, if you send my visitors to a web site, send them to a web site you *LIKE*. Sending them to a site you *DONT* like is a dis-service to my readers and just plain rude. I guess thats the way they did it back in the day, but its 2003. If you wanna talk shit, go do it on your own messageboard, the badtattoos messageboard, or better yet, hers. If you want to recommend our visitors to an artist you *like*, please post yer links, Id love to see the work. Yes a bad tattoo is indeed a bad tattoo! Never meant to implicate otherwise. People *have* to do their homework and make sure they find a talented *tattoo* artist to do their work. There are waaaaay too many bad artists out there doinf waaaay too many bad tattoos. In fact, here at tattooNOW we try to educate folks about fantastic custom tattoos. Guy's work is fantastic, no matter who he marries or teaches, and Im sure that with the man as a mentor, michelles work will improve dramatically over time. Its a wonder in all your years imbedded in the industry you dont see even a glimmer of talent in her work. I just dont like people talking shit for no reason in my living room. Guy and michelle are welcome here any day of the week, and Id hate for them to see some cranky old tattoo geek bashing them for no good reason. We tend to NOT spend out time and energy negatively around here.

oh yeah, Im also horrible at spelling. heh
