BTW my mouth is wide open laughing at you and your brothers shitty tattoo. ---

> [@95d16turbo](#): > > roadhouse does amazing work. > my brother got a back piece done of the central terminal downtown and the detail is amazing. i could post pics if you would like… roadhouse sucks, joe is the biggest asshole you will ever meet. He rushes shit, is super cocky and will charge you extra for “one of a kind artwork” that you later see in tattoo magazines. Sure every once in awhile the guy pulls off a good one but I have heard and seen more bad shit of his than good. ---

I back Hyperion. Steve is a great artist and his shop has a nice feel to it. 🙂 He’s booking in March I think. As for having an artist draw a sketch and not going with it…part of the game. Just say you have to think about it more if you don’t like the sketch. It’s called social grace. 😉 ---

> [@BREETIME](#): > > he looks like a fun guy…but some of his work is so so I personally have never seen anything by him that wasn’t good. Maybe his early work? I know he’s been featured in a few magazines and has a bunch of trophies in his shop from competitions. He is an awesome guy though, real laid back loves hard rock and is always crackin jokes. When I was still in a band we did Give It Away by The Red Hot Chili Peppers and it sang it for us.
