NEW HOUR OF 13 7" COMING SOON FROM YERSINIA PESTIS RECORDS!

RECENT INTERVIEW WITH ME

Below is a link to an interview I just did for an online Tattoo zine from Ireland(?), which I believe will be in the next issue of the printed version of their zine. I love doing tattoos and feel very privileged that it's what i do for a living. That being said, I usually try to distance myself from the tattoo community because I find it to be very "clicky", full of name droppers, unoriginality and pretty much like any other "scene" it festers with scenesters. Scenesters in my eyes, act/think/dress according to the parameters of the "scene" they want to fit into. This is fine for some folks (mostly young ones) but doesn't interest me. I have plenty of good friends who are tattooers, but like I said, I prefer to stay away from the community.
At first I had reservations about contributing to the site, but I realized it was a chance for me to say a few things about tattooing that I haven't heard others say before. Things that to me appear to very much out in the open, but that tattooers seem to pretend don't exist.
Anyway, check out the interview HERE, and check out the one they did with my co worker Mike HERE.

I LOVE HERSCHELL GORDON LEWIS

It's true, I do. Well his movies at least. Fortunately for me the brilliant minds at SOMETHING WEIRD VIDEO have made a documentary about him. To check out the trailer go HERE and scroll to the bottom of the page. I'm so glad it's them that made it, they seem to truly understand HG's movies and I'm confident they know how this documentary should be done. While you're over there buy some shit from them, they definitely deserve your money.
In other HG news, I'm almost ready to release the officially licensed, extremely limited HG Lewis shirt package, just need to get the barf bags finished. In the meantime here's a sneak peek at the shirt design, painstakingly rendered with pen and ink by yours drooley. Click on the photo for a bigger version.

POOR DEVIL AND FRIENDS

Apparently this was supposed to be a show for American TV that never made it past the pilot stage. The cast is mind blowing-Sammy Davis JR, Jack Klugman, Adam West and Christopher Lee as Lucifer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If anyone out there has a copy of this please message me!


Also, here's a few awesome old car commercials I found while scouring the dregs of youtube...

This ones pretty bad quality but it's still awesome-



And finally...If you think you like Lovecraft, think again...

THANKS FOR VOTING!!!

Cambridge —
Redemption Tattoo has been an elite, forward-thinking establishment since the doors opened in the spring 2002. More than eight years later, Redemption still reigns supreme in the Boston area for custom tattooing and continues to up the ante for tattooing around the world.

The Boston Phoenix recently named Redemption as the “Best Tattoo Parlor” in Boston, beating out five other local tattoo shops. Redemption co-owner Mike Shea said, “We couldn’t be more excited about being hailed as the Best Tattoo Parlor in Boston by the Phoenix. This is our fourth year in a row receiving a “Best Of” laurel and we feel honored to be named as such. We couldn’t have done this without our amazing team of artists and clients, so for that we are thankful.”

Also named CityVoter’s Top of the Heights winner 2009, Boston Magazine’s Best of Boston 2008, and WBZTV A-List Winner 2007, Redemption Tattoo’s latest accolade comes at an time as the shop enters its eighth and most successful year in business. There are more artists working at the shop than ever before, including world-renowned tattoo artists and shop co-owners Mike Shea and Erick Lynch, tattooers Josh McAlear and Ben McClellan, apprentice Salty Dave and shop manager Jeff Allen, and the volume and quality of art coming out of the shop is at a peak.

Shea said, “At Redemption, artists run the shop and we pride ourselves on the art form. I think the reason things are going so well for us is because we produce high quality work every day and we only hire great tattooers. There’s no attitude when you come into our shop — we just want to do the best tattoos for our customers, plain and simple.”

Located in the heart of Porter Square on Mass. Ave., Redemption Tattoo is consistently providing high quality work by rendering excellent service and artistry in a classy and comfortable atmosphere. The friendly and creative ambience in the shop inspires Redemption’s artists and clients s they continue to strive to be the best in Boston and industry leaders around the world.

Redemption Tattoo is at 2094 Mass. Ave. in Cambridge and is open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. seven days a week.

Thanks very much to everyone who voted for us we greatly appreciate it.
Forward to victory,
