At the tattoo shop I frequent there’s a guy that also comes in and only gets scorpions tattooed. They call him the scorpion king and legend has it he has over 50 scorpion tattoos all in various styles and colours. I love that kind of lore.

Just got recommended your channel on Reddit and am now binging it back to back. Love to see someone my age, sharing their perspective of the industry and you do so with full passion and no trace of an ego. Keep it coming! On a separate note, it’s awesome to see someone I share a skin tone with also rocking coloured trad tattoos. Love to see it! All the best and keep up the crackin’ work.

dude thank you brother. i really appreciate you coming along for the ride!

Doused in Vaseline reminds me of that episode of it’s always sunny where the gang thinks their sick but they are all going through withdrawals 😂😂😂

hey not sure you'll see this, but from someone who is studying medicine women's skin is probably more likely to blow out due to it biologically being thinner than men's :)

TikTok and social media have created so many "experts" in tattooing it's wild lol. I've personally never tattooed anyone, but after working in the industry, spending about 200 hours getting tattooed and working conventions I'm still hesitant about how much advice I give people. It is crazy to open up social media and constantly see people with little to no experience giving other people tattoo advice and saying definite things like how something will look and heal.

"When you're pouding a 14 shader into some unfortunately white girl's arm" lmaooo

I hope you really beat ink master

Love the longer videos

Just found your channel and now binge watching...so down to earth, honest, and funny! Subbed to beat Inkmaster! While I don't have tattoos, a lot of the same can be said in relation to youth and piercings, which are rad, but can potentially permanently scar due to genetics, improper care, accidents, bad placements, etc. (Roly talks a lot about this). Only body piercing I'm still holding on to (besides ears) is my millennial pre-requisite christina aguilera nose piercing, but that's because I took bad advice from a friend and replaced the jewely with sterling silver, permanently staining my skin. Any piercer will tell you silver is a big no-no for this reason, but my dumbass listened to my friend instead of doing my research. Learned a big lesson after that! Listen to the advice of professionals that have been in the game! They just want to help you have the best outcome/experience ❤

I am working on an American traditional Christmas sleeve and if I didn't live so far I would love to get a nutcracker or Mrs Claus as a pin up done by you.

when you doin' a guest spot in Toronto? xD gonna need a lil banger from u my bro

same w/dallas!

I have 10 finger tattoos & 9 of the 10 I had to have touched up bc parts fell out. I absolutely LOVE my finger tattoos & I will be getting more but man do the touch ups hurt more then the initial tattoo. & they're a pain in the butt to heal (healing time for me if 3-4weeks vs 7-10days anywhere else in the body)

That final story is so horrendous😂🤢

Hold on babe, Kirk just uploaded!! 🎉

No dig here but why havent you tattooed your upper right arm? You have such good prime real estate, you're surrounded by good artists, you've not been tempted yet?

Oh yea I’ve been really tempted but I’ve known I wanted to create a KZread channel based around tattooing for honestly 4 years now, so I’ve been patiently waiting so that I can properly document those experiences. In the next few years I’ll be getting a ton of tattoos and bringing you guys along

How do I submit my tattoos?

Blow outs probably occur more often in women because they have thinner skin as well as a naturally higher necessary fat percentange. The minimum fat percentage required to survive for men is probably 2-3x lower than womens.

NOT THE BUGS

Would you rate view tattoos ?

Haha, i actually "started learning" tattoiing my own hand. i'm not the sharpest guy ever i know, it's absolutely not the best idea

Hey
