    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

So now because he had a bad reputation from this thread he also has bad tattoo skills and infectious tools? How have you gathered this info? Just curious.

No, because he had(has) a bad reputation, showed freshly done tattoos in somebody's house, has posted others' pics as his own, and acted like a classic "mind your business" scumbag when called on it, I question his sterilization techniques. The photos he posted were average to below average, with the exception of the one he admittedly pirated. I've been in this industry a while, and have some bad tattoos thanks to guys like this.

Furthermore, I said "if". I don't know how or if he sterilizes his equipment. When I asked him if he worked at a shop, he said, "mind your business". Hehe....I could see our health dept. inspector now if I told her that on inspection day! :eek:

So, Dave....what shop do you work at? :shrug01: Got any actual pics of your actual work you'd like to share?

I bet this is how it would go down. Give him the snake and in acouple weeks we will try to find time. On the legal side. What's your state license number..should be public record In order to give tattoos in any state legally you need a license???? What tattoo shop are you registered too, do you have a facility license or indepent license by your state. Again public record stuff that your customers most be able to see.

Lance: David told me through pm that everything with you had been squared away. No?

Not that I believed he had, but...

Lol I meant I was wondering if you actually heard this from somebody because that information would in fact help people steer away from him.

Nope, but I've heard it all before. Unfortunately, we normally don't hear about it until we have to tell the victi....er....uh....client that it would cost "x" amount of money to cover up the mess, or that it doesn't look good, and they should see a doctor. Then we hear, "But everything was clean! He did it in his kitchen, and opened everything in front of me!"

I wasn't trying to be confrontational. You've been defending him, and he's high tailed it out of here. Apologies if I seemed accusatory.

I never defended him. I was defending people from getting infractions by warning them about disruptive posting. :)

Now that that's cleared up, it's only a matter of time before we here about some other person getting screwed over. And you are right. This time it might be from some sort of infection caused by a tattoo.
 
As a tattoo artist of over ten years the work that he posted is atrocious at best. This is undeniably going to lead to someone with a horrible tattoo or worse infection. David obviously doesn't have an eye for a good tattoo, he couldn't even steal good pictures, nevermind produce a tattoo of quality on his own. I understand that this is the BOI and there are certain rules to abide by but, from a professional view point this is unacceptable.
Also given his past threads on the BOI, there is no doubt he should be called out on an ad that is less than crystal clear.
 
I for one would like to see pictures from his portfolio that he claimed he had because you're right Shad, he really did do a bad job of picking the pictures. What shocked me is that he used some of the first ones that popped up when you search for them. That in itself should be fishy enough to steer clear.

But in the end i did get them back....but we will never be square.
 
He may be a decent guy but he doesn't know how to conduct himself. He just sent me ANOTHER pm.

I thought we were done with this? Online threats mean nothing David. I couldn't care less how big you are in person.

I couldn't agree with you mare about doing things we regret in the past. The only problem is that this is the present. He got caught using stolen photos in order to obtain property from others.....today. He blatantly lied about posting his work up (which is the tattoo equivalent of a resume'), when it was someone else's. When he got called on it, he started reporting people for being abusive (didn't work out to well, though..:rofl:), and told us to mind our business.....just hours ago. This is not his past....this is his character, or lack thereof.

I, personally, don't want today's decisions being tomorrow's past that I regret.
