Speed Freak Helmet and a little rant

Just finished this one up last night.  Large Gold Daytona DOT 3/4 Helmet.  This fancy lid can be yours for the low, low price of $150.

As usual, I'm irritated about the state of the tattoo industry.  I know a guy that recently started tattooing, or scratching as it may be.  He started with absolutely no experience working at a shop that is known for being run by Meth-heads, and doing really shitty tattoos.  Did they teach him anything?  NO.  He's a total hipster moron- whatever is cool at the moment, that's what he wants to do.  If he really wanted to tattoo the right way, he would have sought out a traditional apprenticeship, and would be scrubbing a toilet or mopping the floor right now.  But that's not the way people do things anymore.  Why do things the right way when you can have it NOW.  Anyway, I recently heard some comments he made about my business.  How the fuck does someone who has been scratching on people for 3 weeks know a fuckin' thing about the tattoo business?  The tattoo industry has been taken over by greedy fuckin hipsters that don't give a rat's ass about doing things the right way as long as they can line their pockets.  They cater to the morons that want cheap tattoos over quality work.  The scumbag supply companies get 'em started with their $169 tattoo kits and how to DVD's.  The TV execs and big mouthed tattooers started the ball rolling, and now it has turned into a giant ball of shit that rolls over anyone that respects the old ways and cares about the industry.
FUCK YOU.  TATTOOING DOESN'T MAKE YOU COOL.  BRAGGING ABOUT HOW MUCH MONEY YOU MAKE OR HOW MUCH PUSSY YOU GET DOESN'T MAKE YOU COOL.  RESCUING PIT BULLS DOESN'T MAKE YOU COOL.  DOING CHEAP ASS TATTOOS ON CHEAPER CUSTOMERS DOESN'T MAKE YOU COOL.  YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE- I'VE BEEN BITCHING ABOUT ALL OF YOU FOR YEARS.  FUCK YOU- I HOPE YOU ALL DIE.
