Tank, Sign, Tattoos...

Here's the gas tank that goes with the fenders and oil tank I painted a month or so ago.  I believe I did my job quite well, but I was extremely unhappy about painting 'Harley Fuckin' Davidson' on it.  It's just dumb.  Any time anyone says '(anything) fuckin' (anything)' it sounds idiotic (there are some exceptions). To me, it always sounds like some 'Bro-Dude' saying something like 'Atlanta Fuckin' Braves' or 'Pabst Blue Fuckin' Ribbon'- it just sounds dumb.  The few exceptions are things like 'Robert Fuckin' De Niro', why?  Because it's Robert Fuckin' De Niro of course.  You can also say 'Ronald Fuckin' Reagan' or 'Poison Fuckin' Idea' for the same reason.  So, anyway, here's the tank....

Here's something else I did recently.  This was a birthday present for my buddy Joey.  Joey brews his own beer and frequently grills delicious steaks.  Sometimes, I'll go over to Joey's place for a couple of beers after work and he'll say 'I cooked some really good steak for dinner, you want some?'  I'll reply by saying that I'm not hungry, and Joey will continue to ask if you want steak until you finally break down around 1am and say that you'll have some steak just so he'll stop asking, at which point Joey will make you a plate of steak, potatoes, and whatever else he cooked that night- basically a full meal.

Did some tattoos last week.  Started a tree on Keith's stomach.  Got all the linework and shading done...

Did some Wayne and Garth pinatas on some kids I tattoo- one is on a leg, the other is a foot...

Also started this project.  Next sitting will be scales, drawing in some background and hopefully a start on the shading...

I also just heard that TLC is starting filming of a full fuckin' season (it's all right to use in anger) of Tattoo School.  I'm pretty sure that by now, if you read my blog, you know exactly how I feel about this.  One more nail in the fuckin' coffin.
