YOU HEARD THE MAN!!! POST THE FLAMINGO!!!!! DO IT, DO IT!!!!
Baker,
Can we hog space (Space Hog) on there, as in more than one pic? How many MB of space you got?
TCE
meh. count me in, even if i am a baby to the site. i'll upload a pic later and send it to you.
I henceforth dub TCE as "Sir Space Hog, John Hancock of the Family TattooNow."
Well Gabes Flamingo is up!
I will only post pictures of actual people! (I made an exception for Gabe cause he gives us this great place!!)
I checked into it, I have used 1.6MB (there is 11 pics)so far. I am able to have 20 MB in total.
So as for "space hogs" that want more then 1 pic.
I will allow it ***UNTILL WE RUN OUT OF SPACE*** at which time I will remove extra pictures to allow others to join in on the fun!
Baker sendz............
One last request...
If you want me to go threw the work of uploading the photo to the site, and rearanging the photo's into alphabetical order, Please do not send me an email that says "you can get a photo at myspace"
Please take the 2 seconds and attach the photo to the e-mail!
Thanks in advance,
Baker sendz............

Baker sendz..........

GOT IT!
BAKER SENDZ..........
Hey Gabe, is there a way to make this post one of the constant permanenent posts up at the top along with the other "From the Administration" posts so that all new people can check it out, and it won't fall down in the list?
That would be incredibly cool!!! Like here's the family! Join the militia!
Two problems with that tonight:
1. those admin posts can not be added to so people would be able to read about the TattooNOW family and *not* post to be part of it
this of course could be changed with some high class code massage by the gabester, but that brings us to:
2. Gabes off at our great friends Tall Girl and Terry's wedding for the weekend
yippeee for TnT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
check Terry's band out at:
http://www.drunkstuntmen.com
Mrs. R

soon soon the ripley's will take to the skies and travel will be our middle name
LOL
No no no! The balls are being juggled by bobross on the "hey taz" thread.... you silly girl!... =P
His mom juggled mine once..................twice if you count both of 'em.
TCE
bob ross has no balls
and
i aint no silly gurl . . .
TCE, I assume that bob's mom had to balance one on her toof?
kmama...*hug*
She's has a toof? I thought she took them out first.............no wonder I felt something scrapin'. GOONEY GOO GOO!!!
TCE
I don't know how Bob couldn't like TAz.......................I mean, TAz is one of us!!! He should just apologize like an adolescent, and join the group!!! He'll probably go James Oliver Huberty on us instead...
Oh well, we all gotta pay the flutist sometime......
TCE
MRS RIPLEY (GABE's WIFE) is now on the website...

What kind of snake? I got bit by one of my pet rattlesnakes once, and while it was a mild bite, it was some of the most spectacular swelling you've ever seen. Not something I'm looking to repeat anytime soon.

Okay Family, the old man (Taz) keeps givin me shit because he has more friends on his myspace than I do. SO! Not only for the purposes on competion, but so I can shoot the shit with ya's heres my link.... www.myspace.com/j_werk

Hmm... now that I look, Factually, all you tattoonow gals seem to be pretty fuckin' cute!! This some kind of evil plot??
Sincerely Baker, this is awesome. Who we missin'?? Where's sassmouth? Where's Keepinitreel? Where is Caribou? Where is alhyn? Where are the rest of you guys? C'mon! Throw it down!!
Cactus,

You too you lucky dog?? Wow! There just seems to be plenty of shit to go around for everyone!! I'll check my email later tonight man... happy to help!!
Lets put this thread back to the top of the list!
Baker sendz..........
Yeah, I was wondering if they could do something with it so it just stays at the top like an admin thread, but that people can add on to...
Seriously doubt if that is feasible guys...we will just keep reposting...prob the easiest way!
Sorry, I don't do pictures of me, ever.
I didn't have a senior year picture, I certainly haven't had an engagement picture, and I'm seriously thinking about not having a photographer at my wedding. I look that awful in pictures. I mean, I might not look that awful in real life (I'm not too sure about that either) but I definately look like....I don't know....incredibly hideous in photos.
How about a big black square for me? Heh.
Nope,
real photo's only...
Baker sendz,,,,,,,
Well, no photo then :^P
***chanting***
DEIRDRE...DEIRDRE...DEIRDRE
hey it worked for gabe....
We don't WANT a photo of "D"
Deirdre,
Hmmmm, English huh? It's DEFINITELY, not definately.............
touche'!
TCE
Ahlyn,
On the other hand, I'm sure your 'look' reflects your attitude..............which is strangely alluring in itself!!! Come on, you're a soccer player, kick down a photo!
TCE
C'mon Ahlyn, were not judging you, and it has nothing to do with your looks, we just wanna know who you are! It's so easy to do the same ol' thing. Send a pic.
Al...trust me on this one...it just ain't gonna happen!
He's right.
Now how often have I said that to you Taz?
hehe
She has nice ribs..............
Not NEARLY often enough D
I don't mean to eat..................well, maybe I do.
TCE
Be nice, I'm taken.
Otherwise I'll have to kick your teeth in.
I don't know if you've seen my picture, but kicking my teeth in would probably make more room for my tongue............so that's not necessarily a bad thing.
TCE
To answer a couple ?, I don't know what kind of snake bit my dog, but I have an albino American Bulldog, his name is Sheotae, but his back ankle was 4x the size it should be, and he got an a pussing sore on his shoulder, anyway took him to the vet, got some antibiotics, 300.00$ worth, and hes doing alot better. ?2 yes this is the evil hot girl plot, and I'm the queen of the hot tatted and pierced freak girls, and if you think Im hot now, wait till I get my needles out!
sinfully Skittlez
I'll be your voodoo doll you can poke on!
Skittelz...are you guys comin to the Halloween bash?
Baker, Per my previous post, Cactus Al is Dead. Please change my name to Al, (aka Daddy Rose)...
Bee,

Love for you all to be there if ya need some help just yell...this is FAMILY girl!!....T
Al, (aka Daddy Rose)
Your name has been changed on the site.
Baker sendz..........
Sir J-WERK,
Your picture has been updated on the site!
Baker sendz....
Sweet Baker!! You are the man!
Bee,
Did you make it through work okay? If it makes you feel any better I'm at work now and have 5 hours left with the "Veggies" (patients).
today is not going very well.
if i wasn't preggo i'd say screw this and go back to working at animal shelters.
i just have one of those jobs where i've 6 or 7 bosses, that all want different things.... and if i listen to one boss then i get emails and phone calls from the rest of them wanting to know why i went against their requests.
i don't even know who all of my bosses are anymore, i accidentally told one of them off today -- and found out later he was a new boss. bah!
/end rant. :)
Wow.... That sounds like one crazy, fuggered up situation! You know what helps me on days like that? If I am sitting far enough away from them I take my hand and make it look like their headis inbetween my thumb and index finger and then I smash their faces like bugs!!! MUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
ha! if only!
most of them are located in minnesota, some are in illinois, and one is in chicago -- the only "boss" i have in my office is actually an office manager who doesn't even know what i do all day. (which is a good thing)
What the hell.... I wish my bosses were scattered throughout all of christendom!... And they still find ways to make your day a living hell? Please tell me that you are there because of the benefits....
that's exactly why i'm there. i moved to az in january -- in nj i worked as a bar-back and in the liquor store -- can't really bar back when you're preggo (those kegs get heavy). (and i had 2 other jobs then too... me=workaholic)
so now i get paid holidays, paid vacation & sick days, actual medical benefits, and if i can work 40hrs/week up until the start of august then i'll qualify for paid maternity leave. plus i've a set schedule -- i've never had that in my life.
i just have to sell my soul to do it. and get used to the fact that the only people i talk to all day long are museum curators/conservators and corporate bigwigs. ie no one with personality.
oh and hey! i finally replied to your myspace messages! :P
It's all good. Hell, I can't even get on myspace from work because of filters and blocks that the CIS department have set up.... Funny; I can't get on something as "harmless" as hotmail or myspace but I can be on TattooNow for hours.... I guess that's pretty sweet as is =)
Well, maybe you won't have to sell your soul for your job... maybe just take out a slight lone. But I will admit I had this pretty sweet image of you slingin' kegs preggo style!!! See, who said that your hormone sings wouldn't come in handy? *lol*
Yeah, corporate America has its perks and it pricks for sure. Just don't let "the man/woman" (or in your case, "the men/women") get ya down. If he does just rent "9 to 5" and take notes. I will admit that the rat poison in the bosses coffee is not only humorous but also the colors that ones face turns are aethetically pleasing. =P
Bee,
Just tell 'em it's your beer belly.....................for slingin' kegs!
TCE
ALL,
Take your last look at Doctor John, His photo will be removed by the end of the day from the website.
Baker sendz.........
Baker,
That's too bad................I saw his last post explaining himself, but one person can't control the entire worlds actions. I understand his frustration as it's his profession and art, and it's his choice.
TCE
Well Doctor Johns photo has now been removed...anyone wondering why, I will paste in the E-Mail he sent me....
Hi Baker,
I want you to remove my pic from the Tattoo Now Family
as while I sure don't have any problems with the
Family, I can't/won't be a part of a website (Gabe's)
that knowingly sells tattoo supplies, kits and
'instructional
vids' to anyone who clicks onto it. I brought it to
his
attention and still the ads are there. Hope ya can
under-
stand my position. Best Luck, Doctor John
Baker sendz,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
About Doctor John...
Ok the OTHER side of the story...
For any of you who have been on this forum for any amount of time you will know that Gabe has been ferocious about getting rid of the ads that Doc is so pissed about...Gabe was out of town and very busy but did remove some of the ads....and I am sure he will remove the rest of them...I guess that he just was not quick enough for Doc....You all know that Gabe has devoted his LIFE to the tattoo industry and when he is called out for being in this just for the money I am gonna come out swingin!!...We know better...although Gabe and I seldom see eye to eye...this forum of his has done so much for so many I just cannot justify anyone saying he is in this for the bucks...That offends me and I take it personally...
Doc like I said I hate to see ya go ...you had so much to share... We are gonna miss ya...but ...don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya!...TAz
TAz,
That was exactly what I sensed in the last email he posted...........that things weren't happening fast enough. Like I said, it's his choice.
Gabe (with the help of his wife) has opened to the forum to everyone, and some people are going to exploit that. It's unrealistic to expect him to be monitoring every post 24 hours a day.
TCE
Bee, How was work, girl? Better I hope? TGIF!
just a quick thanks to taz and tce
kind words are appriciated . . . .Gabe thinks you said all that needs saying but because I like to have the last word I wanted to add -->
we do work our butts off here in the woods of western mass
For those that think we are a million worker bees in a comapany the size of Yahoo heres the scoop:
TattooNOW is Gabe
. . . . . . and then there are 3 or 4 of us running back-up
Maggie does organization(thats a pretty HUGE task, Brenden helps program, Deidre the Intern, and me (i'm cute!)
there are almost 50 websites
close to 100 artists
1 million unique visitors a month
nearly 200 links on the links page
we don't own a house
we drive old cars
we only go on vacation to visit tattoo artists
but we are happy . . ..
and we are glad our hard work and our blind determination and our dumb luck makes you all happy!
and since that was alot of last words i'll be done now.
Wow you guys do much much more then I had thought! Keep up the good work!
Sir J,
work was awesome today. can't beat a work day that's over by lunchtime!
whew. and i don't have to go back until wednesday! there are a few good things about office jobs. :)
how are the 'veggies' treating ya tonight?
To clarify the real deal for anyone who cares to listen, it was not a case of not getting immediate results. Fact is I emailed Gabe about the ads Sunday, then again Tues., pointed out the sites and later recieved a responce telling me he hadn't been aware of
the problem but would take care of it (no problem, what more can ya ask) but when I checked the next day, SOME were removed, but not two that (1)sells 'how to' CD's, another which sells both kits and 'how to'disks. As these kinds of ads are totally against what I thought this site was supposed to be about and would expect ANYONE serious about the profession to understand the urgency to
remove asap, I decided it was not the kind of thing I want to be involved in/with and withdrew. Gabes responce to me had stated he
understood his responcibility to the Tattoo World (which I've been
a part of for going on 42 Years, I might point out) so, again, when only some ofthose ads were removed, but not all, I figured that showed me his sense of responcibilty. I'd like to point out those ads are up 24 hours a day, giving plenty of opportunity for
wannabes to order with just a few clicks and in no time, can be fucking people up, dissing every skilled/dedicated tattoo artist, taking money out of our hands and spreading who knows what in the
process-all of which can easily create numberous problems for the Art of Tattooing. As to the opinion I was simply upset because it was not happening 'fast enough', that's NOT it, the point was SOME
were removed but not 2 very offending on the same damn page. I KNOW and APPRECIATE the fact Gabe IS busy, I am NOT a fucking moron but damn it, I'd have hoped he'd have realizes THIS is a
PRIORITY. Anyways, THOSE are the facts and I have emails to back it up. Think of me as you chose, I don't much care if you can't
understand where I'm coming from but I at least want the fucking story straight. And Taz, you surprise me, ya really do...Doc
The Veggies were quiet tonight. Little devils are up to someting! I know it!!!! I am soooo glad that you had a better day today.... and you suck for having a short friday and you suck even more that you don't have to go back until wednesday..... But all in all I still think you're still peachy! got plans tonight or are ya bein a bum?
And how do I surprise ya Doc?....because I told ya that we valued you on here or because I pretty much told ya you were overreacting?....Just like you say you are I tells it likes I sees it...sound familiar?....I ain't mad at ya...disappointed is all....the problem was being taken care of and you just blew things way out of proportion.....thats my take...thats what I told you in private e-mail and I'm stickin to it...now I have had enough drama about this...Gabe said he would take care of it...he'll damn well take care of it...it is now a non issue!!...TAz
Doc,
What about the people who post on this forum asking for help with things that perhaps only you know the anwer to? Continuing to provide assistance to these folks does not in any way make you an accomplice to fucking up the others who are marred by illegitimate hacks.................you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.
TCE
kmama,
Old cars have character..........................two of mine are 20 + years old, and even my 'baby' is 7.........nuttin' wrong with that.
TCE
old hyundai's?????????????
As lond as you don't have to Fred Flintstone the damn things then there ain't a fuggin thing wrong with them!!!!
Okay everyone, you can come out now. The storm is over.....
I'm here, in and out.
Good news, found an apartment today, the bad news, I cant have my cats :(
And I dont know when I'll have internet access once we move in....
And... I need a job.
And.... I think that covers it.
Looks like I'm movin next weekend.
Hows everyone?
Heya Toots we were worried about ya!!!
I was worried about me too! :)
Taz, I'll shoot you an email with my cell numbers in it, that way, if I cant get online for a while, someone knows whats happenin :)
Doc, I took down the 2 links you asked me to as soon as I got your email. BUT I am not scrubbing everything on this site(or finding another intern to do so as you suggest, its not that easy) anytime soon although going after the links section is on our to do list. While your top priority may be to rid the internet of links to the stupid companies, mine is to work for tattoo artists and educate the public. For years TattooNOW has worked just fine with people asking me to take something offending down when they find it, I look at the offending whatever and probably take it down. We did just this for you. If you want to send another set of links that offend you thats fine with me but until then Im cranking on the websites I need to launch and taking care of the artists I need to take care of (and, uh, dealing with servers crashing on July 4th weekend, haha).
Id love to make sure every link on the links page is positive (the links page has needed pruning and enhancing for years now!) but I believe the art of tattooing is tough and so it doesnt need me to hand-hold every visitor here to insure they might not get ahold of tattoo equipment or learn the wrong way. Tattooing, like nature, will take care of itself. We spend a lot of time on here educating folks on the right way... One reason I dont share the same sense of urgency you do is I have never felt that the proper way to solve any problem is by cutting out access or censoring, indeed I feel the proper way is to solve problems is through education, in this case by both the public in finding good artists and future tattoo artists on the proper way to learn. Censoring links is merely a band aid and the work we do on this forum and throughout the site educating the public to find quality artists is my best effort to de-valuing scratchers. Basically, Ill spend some effort stopping morons from tattooing out of their house, but I believe theres more good to be done pushing the talented professional artists upward and onward than worrying about all the new people that may or may not click some links they find against our advice. I also believe at the end of the day people should be responsible for their own actions. If someone is tattooing poorly in unsafe conditions there are two parties directly responsible. The person doing the tattooing for their tattooing and the client for their choices.
That said, as an industry we do have a responsibility to take care of our own business, lord knows Id much rather have the industry leaders insure the success of the tattoo industry rather than rely on lobbyists and lawmakers in washington. I dont want hacks putting out unsafe bad work anymore than you do and if we take care of it ourselves then the government doesnt have to butt in, much. Another lesson tattooing has taught me is patience, and to keep my sense of urgency in check as best as possible. Basically, I hear the call for perfection loud and clear, but as you know it takes a long time to get there. I hope to see you return in 6 months to a year because we will be a few steps closer and the whole system will be that much tighter. Im getting things wrapped up here so we can keep up and soon after we get another stab at making things perfect.
Lastly Doc, I do respect my elders advice but when you come into my house and call me out as someone ripping off tattooing for money, it makes me question YOUR integrity. I would think someone who has been around the business longer wouldn't throw around such serious accusations without knowing the facts. Either way, I hope you stick around but Ive wasted enough time with this BS. If you just told me all the links you wanted removed in the first place instead of bitching about the job we're doing they would have all been down by now.
Go make a final list and we will do our best.
I'm not going to get involved except to say....
I have a title now, if I was playing Everquest still, it would be floating over my head for all to see, and I would also have a huge ass sword, with like flames and tattoo powers.
So...yeah!
So, I checked out the Fam's site today just for shits and grins.... "Anonymous".... very funny. =P
Al, for my own curiousity, would you send me some info on the school you teach at and your department inparticular. I wouldn't be able to read it until I get home from work but I am tickling the thought of higher education again.... Please and thank you!.....J
Gabe, to begin with, you did indeed take 2 of the 3 sites I told you of, but ya still left one, which sells both kits and 'how to'instructions (which is still presently up) And I whole hearted agree that educating the public IS indeed a huge priorty, that if more people were educated, we probably would not have to worry anywhere near as much about this stuff. BUT, it IS a part and I
think an important part. So when ya pulled 2 of the three, I kinda
got the impression you were throwing the old dog a bone and not quite as dedicated as I'd honestly thought and gotten the impression you were. Again, I do comprehend the fact that you are busy, hopefully not too busy to take care of priorities. As to the statement re:tattooing being tough, while I understand what you mean and it's indeed valid but what about the other side, the chance what the people do and worse yet, the fact that THEIR behavior could in fact have some very serious ramifications on the
true Tattoo World, Studios and Artist. What do you think would happen if some spoiled politician brat contacted a serious desease even though it was from a hacker? (Did you see the recent post re:MSRA spread by 'underground tattooing, 43 cases I think it was) Again, I just thought it a part of the overall problem.
I also agree with what you state regarding trying to push the talented and strive to educate (I've tried to do and advocate that often) I also believe that some of these idiots that let anyone who doesn't know how to do it properly IS as big an idiot. Yet, I know from years of experience that MOST people do not do their research, don't have a clue as to what constitutes a GOOD/SAFE
tattoo. I've seen and dealt with that for years and it's getting WORSE. More and more assholes are profittering of this profession and it pisses me off to no end and I'm cursed with a nasty temper.
And I most certainly agree with you about I sure hope the industry
as it's now become, does indeed 'police' itself because the alternative, goverment intervention, worries the shit out of me.
Now, as to your statement re:but when you come into my house and call me out as........and that you'd think someone whose been involved, etc.,and that it makes you question MY integrity. Gabe, hold on son, just where in any off MY post did you find THAT. If ya check, that comment was posted not on your forum, it was in fact in a what I thought 'private' email to someone I figured knew you better and could perhaps explain things a bit, for some reason it would appear that person chose to post some of what was said in
them, somewhat out of context. Frankly, I guess ya got the right to be offended, just aim your critisism about integrity in the right direction, I too take that stuff quite personally.
As to your statement re:had I just told you the links I wanted you
to remove instead of bitching, excuse me Gabe, that's precisely what I DID do but again, you only removed 2 of the 3 I told you about, Read the original email, damn it, if ya don't have a copy, I'll be happy to forward one. Now do ya see my frustration and ensuing comments.
And I'd be 'happy' to make a list, but will send it email, I ain't making it easier for the wannabes. Thanks for taking the time to
respond to this and I hope the enclosed information will clarify
things a bit better. And Taz, before ya say have much more smartassded comments, I'd remind ya I do have those emails saved
and I doubt you want them posted. Stay out of it, this is between
Gabe and me, who appointed you moderator? Do ya really want me to
explain what I meant when I said ya surprized me. Don't START nothin there won't BE nothin-enuff said....Doc
Hey pal...This is NOT just between you and Gabe and it stopped being between you when YOU sent Me the emails ....That invited me in...and if you think I'm scared to start something...or FINISH it boy do you have the wrong guy old fella!....Now about any e-mails you might have from me that you think I don't want anyone else to see...what?....Lemme tell ya something man when I say something I fucking A well mean it whether it be in person, e-mail on the phone or whatever....and I NEVER say ANYTHING i won't say to someones face....My guess is that you are alluding to the comment about gabe and I come from different worlds etc...well I said the same damn thing on THIS FORUM in front of GOD and everyone....I even agreed with you...up to the point where you were becoming more than just a concerned artist and turning into an obsessed tattoo terrorist......just remember YOU brought Me into this.And another thing...I never told GAbe anything about your e-mails to me ....I don't work that way!!....Come on...get a grip!
You just took the whole thing too far....you wanted what you wanted and you wanted it now and when ya didn't get it fast enough you acted like a spoiled kid and pouted...You are too old and experienced to have acted as you did...PERIOD!!! And should be too dignified...now why don't ya give it a rest and lets all just smooch and make up ...sometimes I ,very much like YOU, spout off and although I am speaking truth I could choose my words better...We DO value your experience....we all AGREE that those fucking ads should be deleted and they WILL BE!!!...and we would love to have you contributing here on this forum...my son thinks you are a fucking GOD man!!....so can we please just put this behind us Doc?...I really hope so...you have so much to offer this forum...and we are all together about the scratcher (hate that word)
thing....I hope that we can be friends...you and I are so much alike..
that its scary.....now I apologize for anything I said that offended you but I can only speak the truth...we need you on here old man' by the way that is a term of respect and when I call you "old man" or whatever I am not insulting you in any way...so get over it!! LOL!
Hope ya stick with us and work out the wrinkles just like the adults do.....sincerely!!!......TAz
Taz, the emails I sent you regarding this I thought were in private, which was why I didn't post the comments on the forum, I knew I might be over reacting and stated as much in those. AS to the part of you're never saying anything about those emails, well check your post of 6/30/06 'about Doctor John',where you stated 'when he's called out for being in this just for the money'... where else did that come from, it's not in anything I posted here, it was in fact from one of my emails to you. Read your own post, then you'll see what I meant. I did NOT in fact post those comments, you did. I told you I was so pissed I couldn't think right, which was why I was seeking your point of view, so kindly keep the FACTS straight. Again, a big part of my anger was due to the fact that only 2 of the 3 ads had been removed, making me think perhaps I was being placitated like some little kid, which
did NOT help the situation. If I did, in fact, over-react, I'm
sorry but it seemed like I was being blown off and I do not like being accused of saying things on the forum that I did not say on this forum. I did not come on this forum to start any shit, I came
across something I thought needed to be addressed, stating why in what I thought would explain my reasoning, figured it would be fixed and we could get back to 'business as usual'. Fact is, I scouted a LOT of forums, usually reading but not posting and was
rather impressed when I came across Tattoo Now. I just read for awhile before I ever even posted and that was only after thinking 'now this is a forum I could be interested in and perhaps even become part of'. When I came across those ads I felt they were very much against what I think this forum is about, basically
felt there existance clashed with what was advocated and could sorta contradict the credability of those involved. I too would
much rather put this behind us but I do want the facts straight.
I honestly enjoyed my small part in trying to help out on this
forum, believe us 'old farts' have a responcabilty to share our knowledge/experience with others and I truly enjoy giving back to
my profession, a profession I love and take much pride in being in and have been doing for a very long time. I'm certainly willing to put this shit behind us and I don't hold any ill-will against anyone involved in this, I truly don't. 'Met' a number of good people on this site and yeah, to a large part, I was already thinking you and I are very much alike ( a little scary, ain't it, when ya think about it?) Gabe stated he's going to do his best to
get those ads down when he's informed of 'em and I'm going to try to keep him informed of those I find (and I DO belive he'll take care of 'em, I think he actually IS one of the GOOD Guys afterall.
So let's put this 'behind us' and get other important stuff. But, just so it's clear, I still ain't gonna kiss you or Gabe...Doc

See there,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,now that's the way it ought to be............Hell, I'll argue with you two guys any ol' day!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I heard that somewhere.........................
TCE
I did find the old email and indeed there were three links. They were in a sentence and not a list so it was easily confused. The third link should be down now. It was an easy mistake.
You called me out on the "Thrusday night post" when you said "I will not be a part of any site which is run by someone who has been told he's helping get tattoo supplies into the hands of wannabes but seems more concerned with making money from Tattooing than he is concerned about the wrong he's doing this/my profession.'
I guess this kinda drama is what the forum is all about, but for the love of god...
Sorry to have caused confusion in the original email, will do better in the future (and Thanks for removing 'em) However, I still gotta hold my ground as to the calling out part, again, I did not personally post that comment, it was in fact, posted as why I'd asked my pic removed in an email I'd sent someone, that in turn being posted, not by me. Sorry to 'pick hairs' but I just want the facts straight. And, Gabe, I guess this is the drama this site is about and I wholehearted agree with the 'but for the love of god. Let's get on to better things (and I do regret the confusion and time involved)...Doc
Ok but dammit I still want a kiss!...Oh come on I won't tell anybody!
Now its over and all is well and we got our Doc back!! PHEW!!
We love ya DOc and we are all glad you are stayin!!
Now lets find somethin else to argue about!!...
Just to let ya know I am NOT responsible for my actions tonight ....blame it on the morphine and Purple \Messkins ( a deadly but tasty little shot consisting of 1/2 Jose Cuervo Gold Tequila and 1/2 Jaegermeister with a splash of Crown Royal ( a gift from the Gods!)...combine this with what my sawbones says is enough morphine to kill a small elephant and there ya go!...I am officially.....
Bumfuzzly twitterpated tonight...WAHOO!!
DAMMITT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I gotta go mix some more shots ya fuggin BUMS!!!!...
Imma go fuck somethin....JWERK!!! Where are ya ya little twerp?
After that Doc I think it's only fair to put your pic back up.......
All in favor............
Goes without sayin nephew!
Hey are ya ready to get to work?
Im glad we're moving on, but damn it doc those are your words from a public thread from your keyboard on this forum. Its on the Thursday night thread... Thankfully we've moved on. phew.
Now, I've read this whole thing from all angles, and I gotta tell you guys, I think you 3 guys make a hell of a great team! No! I'm serious man!! Look at all the experience and different attitudes and stuff. I hate to say this, and you probably all know this anyway, but I'm not kidding when I say that the 3 of you together are much more powerful than 3 individual people. Having these 3 varying sources of input on this forum makes it a really, really great source of information. And ultimately, that's what it's all about anyway, right?? I'd like to suggest a compromise here...
1. Gabe, take that last info down. Can't be that hard to do, right? Then welcome Doc back in with open arms. I mean, he may be grumpy, but one thing is obvious that he really cares about this industry, and THAT is golden. We need dudes like that. And he HAS got a point, right?
2. Doc... apologize to Taz and Gabe for being a grumpy old bastard. You are kind of a hard nut, and sometimes the world doesn't revolve as fast as it should. Realize people are hearing ya, but sometimes it takes time. Now Kiss Taz on the Head. He's just a dumb kid ya know. And STAY. Maybe you don't think you have any obligation to this forum, but if you DO care, and I think you do, there are a lot of people who can benefit from your experience and opinion! Grumpiness and all!
3. Taz, apologize to Doc just for being you. (Oh, shuddup, just do it.) Shit man. I swear. You outta be Scottish, cause sometimes your temper gets the better of what is otherwise a really, really insightful and learned dude! No more Fighty! Go to your room! We'll drink scotch and kill something later... With Doc and Gabe!
If all 3 of you guys could see this from the outside, you'd see the incredible power of this thread... this is what free speech is supposed to do! It changes things! The best thing is NOT to just say phew and move on... The best thing is to realize that all 3 of you guys are right to a certain extent. Forgive each other, and go forward with a stronger mix. I admire all you guys.
Fuck it! I'm pullin this thread over and whippin' everybody's butts! EVERYBODY'S!!!!.... Bend over!
Yeah Jason, like "IF I HAVE TO STOP THIS CAR"...
Last I heard he worked out of Wandas world of Pain on La Cienega in Hollyweird and he was livin in a dumpster with his midget transvestite sister Gerdie.I do know that he contracted rabies from a rat bite ( or from Gerdie no one knows for sure) but he got that under control....its my understanding that the heroin in his system pretty much killed the rabies virus and he is much better now...well except for the anal gangrene from crammin dirty tubes up his ass without using the proper pathogen barriers...if ya go visit him ya might think about bringin along some heavy duty Maxi Pads...he kinda leaks a bit.Oh and HO HOs ... he does love his HO HOs!...He'll do damn near anything for a HO HO...I once saw the man kiss a badger for a single HO HO!...I am happy to say that his nipple did grow back after the Badger smooching incident..badgers apparently hold a fundamental opposition to being smooched by a man with no arms or legs who leaves a pretty impressive skid mark about every foot and a half as he rolls down the sidewalk!...a bit crooked but hey at least he still has two nipples! Who would have thought that super glue would work so well!
Well...I hope this helps ya!...TAz
OOPS!
Wrong thread!
I TOLD ya I was hung over!
DAMMITT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gabe, see can't find MY posting it but fuckit, If I did, I genuinely apologize, and I think you really are one of the Good Guys, someone genuinely involved for the GOOD of it and that gives you my respect,(and I don't give that out casually
Al, I'm pretty sure I have made things right with Gabe and Taz,and, unfortunately, you are right, I can get a grumpy old fart at times, don't really MEAN to, somehow it just happens but then again, sometimes it involves priciples, which is a different story. I'm glad someone understood the overall story and I'm glad we got it resolved as ,again, I genuinely like what Tattoo Now is
about and I honestly think/hope we can help educate people about the Art/industry and hopefully reduce, if not eliminate the problem of 'scratchers' and the incomptent. By the way, thanks for
the post in support and/or making me feel my presence here matters, I appreciate that folks, so FAIR WARNING, I'm back in the Family...Doc

Hello All!!!!

Anyways heres the scoop...
Pantera Jay
TheVal
Ducky
Pictures were just added to the family!!
And I am sorry to say, we have lost another pic from the family. I got an E-Mail from TIMA today asking that I take her picture down.... her boyfriend was jealous that it was there!!!
So TIMA's pic is now gone...
Thanks for waiting and being patient in these busy times,
Baker sendz..........
Now THATS some dumb jealousy shit there!!
That's not only dumb, but a fucking MAJOR jealousy issue......................how insecure can a person be?
Half the time I'm posting on here, my girlfriend is right here in the room next to me......................Good God Mon!!!!
And I thought my ORCA was small!!!!!
TCE
So one has a dickbat, someone has a dickbat.......
*Someone* has a dickbat, someone has a dickbat.......
....*Please note correction!...And pay no attention to the whithered idiot pounding away at the keys....
Ummm....listen. My fiance is not some kind of jealous freak. He thinks it's "cute" that I post and read this forum. He's well aware I enjoy Tattoonow, and log on a few times a week.
It was my choice to take it down because he made some comments in jest about my picture being up, and it being just like having a "profile" up.
I value my relationship a lot and don't want my online activities to adversly affect it.
In a way, maybe I am the insecure one. Devotion is a rare thing these days......
Sorry guys~
Tima
I shall be duely noted m'lady............................and the floggings (FLOGGING, OMG!!!!!!!) shall subsequently cease at once? Thou's image misplaced upon our palace walls shall too be a source of grievous misfortune...............
Sir TCE I (King for a day!)
That's totally cool Tima, you do what ever the fuck you want. And don't let guys bully you on the internet or in real life.
Nobody was trying to BULLY anybody DEE! Sometimes your mouth runs before your brain is started...Where do you get some of this total crap you come up with?...Bullying my ass!
For an educated person you sure have some MAJOR malfunctions!
...You're going crazy buddy.
I know D but ya still love me don't ya?...And I accidentally called you DEE..and I am truly sorry...I was rushing dear!...Forgive me?...Anyway why have we seen no more art from you D?....Are ya on vacation?...T
Working.
K
I LIKE these one word answers!
Whatever!
Hey Tima....we understand...and its not a big deal at all!!...We got to drool over yer pic for a minute so we can't complain...you are still one of us dear!!!...TAz
And all of us guys would be lucky to have a girl who was as concerned with her relationship as you so obviously are!
He is a lucky man!
And I DID apologize........................Hopefully, YOU were able to make sense of it!
TCE
Well the dickbat thing wasn't ment towards her..... okay, I'll go shoot my lip with the nail gun now....
I thought you were referring to MY baby orca..................fucker!
Good Heavens no! One mammal is enough on this thread....the rubber animals are the next thread over, remember?
Sorry for the curt reply I have been really tied up in some web work, and dont have too much time to kick around for anything these days. I am trying to give Gabe and Maggie a sweet deal, heh. At the end of the internship I will have to bake the famous A+ cupcakes.
Very well then M'lady, all is well with the world again..............
TCE
Oh Joy and Lolly pops!!! ...Places everyone, places....
Sir Cotton Missle... That is fucking Hilarious Man!
No comment on the TIMA stuff. I can't. I'm a verbal abuser.
There are some that NEED a good verbal thrashing from time to time...Al ol pal you have much more patience than I will EVER have! How are the Rose Twins?...I haven't had time to do their little posters but I am on it man!! They are gonna love em...btw...when is their birthday

The little Angel Roses Birthday is on July 17th Comin up Monday!
I got em full on Skatebaord setups with pads... etc. We have a skate park next to our house. They are so funny. Little badass chicks. The've been riding their bikes and scooters in the bowls with their little pink helmets, and they fall down, fuck themselves up on their knees and elbows... cry, cry, cry, and then when I come down to comfort them they're like "NO DADDY! GO AWAY! Cause they want to skate tough with the big kids, so they get up, dust themselves off and start the cycle all over again.
I take them over to this 4 story climbing wall at Dicks sporting goods out here too, and they climb that motherfucker in half the time of adults. Kenny just entered herself in a speed climb contest for that wall on Saturday coming up... THEN she tells me about it after she enters herself. Chicks man....
