Tonight at 10pm/9C - “Crossing the Line ”
Dizzle is the “Old Faithful” of H&H–always there, always apprenticing, and always likely to erupt in a fit of push-ups at Twig’s command at any moment. But when he pushes his mentor a little too far, Dizzle gets more than he bargained for.
… and then at 10:30/9:30: - “Go West, Young Diz”
“Tattoo artist Clark thinks Dizzle, H&H’s struggling apprentice, needs to get scared straight if he’s ever going to become a tattoo artist. No more fooling around, no more games and definitely no more dresses. So Clark takes Dizzle to LA for a firsthand lesson in the old school ways of tattooing. But can Dizzle cut it working with the same hardcore artists that taught Clark? Meanwhile, back in Vegas Jerome gets the opportunity to make an even more permanent inscription than a tattoo when a regular client asks him to engrave a memorial tattoo on his mother’s gravestone.”
… and the at 11:00pm - “Dizzle Out to Pastor ”
“Down on his luck with the ladies, Dizzle is stuck without the prospect of a date for a big H&H company party. Just when it looks like all hope is lost, Lily the receptionist comes to his rescue with a secret strategy. But there’s a hitch and Dizzle and ends up having a religious experience that he never expected. Meanwhile, homesick Joey Hamilton gets a visit from his son.”
and finally at 11:30pm/10:30C - “Pull It Together, Dizzle”
“Dizzle, the shop helper and resident goofball, has made the decision to become a tattoo artist and the first step on that path is getting an apprenticeship. But apprenticing under Thomas and Clark won’t be easy. These guys earned their ink the hard way and they’re not about to just hand Dizzle the needle.”

“I started this tattoo last Tuesday. It’s going to be a full sleeve when it’s finished, and I’m sticking to a Japanese theme throughout the piece.
My boyfriend, Gene Hannan @ www.happygoluckyart.com has been a tattoo artist for ten years. This is the first tattoo he has ever done for me. Next week is our year anniversary, and the tattoo is celebrating that.
I really like tigers a lot, but I have let him design the tattoo. Tigers represent strength in Japanese culture. This one is unusual in that it has a third eye. My friends say that the tiger reminds them of me when I’m angry …
In tradition Japanese tattoo art, the images are generally more cartoonish. I wanted this one to be a little more realistic than that.
We are going to add wind bars as well (the black and gray swirls and filler in Japanese tattooing). Also, he is going to do a lot more flowers. I said to him “Baby! Give me flowers!”
These are flowers that will last forever. Who else can give you that??”

This tattoo was the second tattoo that I got. My first was a small tribal sun god I got in Flagstaff while I was working at the Grand Canyon. This tattoo, though, was inked at one of the oldest tattoo shops in San Francisco.
This tattoo is a three-legged gargoyle in the shape of a seven-inch spindle insert. The kind of spindle needed when the hole of a music record is too big to put on the deck shaft.
This tattoo represents my loyalty to Subgenius (see subgenius.com) or “Bob” and is the church of Slack. The central belief of thee church is the pursuit of Slack, which generally stands for the sense of freedom, independence, and original thinking that comes when you achieve your personal goals.
Subgenius is an organization for “mutants, blasphemers, disbelievers, rebels, outcasts, hackers, freethinkers” and generally people who consider themselves out of the mainstream of society.
For me, original thinking in making music is the highlight of what this tattoo means to me. Also the relation that music equals freedom, and my personal goal and central passion is to create good music. My current project is Deadeye. Check it out @ myspace.com/deadeye.

I can’t tell which tattoo is worse! Is it this unicorn with a broken/ jello neck?
… or these little scratchy buddies? They are both so bad!

This gem was submitted by a reader. It’s actually not that bad… technically it’s good, and I get the funny “cowboy up” twist on phrasing. The floating hat is a little weird, but I’ve seen a million worse tattoos. It did get me into searching for some cowboy tattoos though, and look what I found!
Same artist or inspiration? I kind of like it…
However, there are some truly terrible cowboy tattoos out there, which I am happy to share with you.
I love his tiny feet! They’re so dainty!
This poor cowboy only has one foot.
And this is from the anime series Cowboy Bebop, so it’s a different kind of cowboy… but it’s so terrible I had to share.

This gem was sent to me by a reader. Thanks! I love the “painterly” style.
If anyone knows what’s going on here, please let me know!
And this one… yeesh! It has everything! Spraypaint, tears, a rose, eyes… I wonder what the sad story behind it is.

I wish I knew what this was, I really do. It looks like a totem pole of demons? With some kind of weird scarred-out blob in the middle. Is it a tribal-mutant batman logo? AND DO YOU SEE THE SCRATCHED UP FETUS ON HIS ELBOW? I mean really, how could you miss that? I don’t even know what the stuff on his forearm is. If anyone can help decipher this, please let me know! I was staring at this guy for ages trying to figure it out.
I wish I knew what was on his back, too. You can see a bit of it poking out. I bet it’s incredible.
