That's right we have done an unprecedented number of cocks at Daredevil this week. Fighting cocks that is or should I say roosters. Yesterday Guy finished two fighting cocks as part of a larger sleeve and Brad started a huge cock sleeve. Today I outlined one of the cocks for our friend Aaron's chest. In the picture he appears to be crowing with joy at his new tattoo, or is that the pain cock-a-doodle-do? I can't tell.
I'm starting tobelieve there is some kind of tattoo collective unconscious. I can'tremember seeing any significant number of roosters coming in and yethere we are, one week, 4 strangers 4 huge cock tattoos, wierd. Years ago I did a thunderbird design somebody broughtin and an hour later my next customer, visiting from Cali comes inwith another version of the same tattoo. It happens more often than youwould think. I'm not talking about that time when Grime did a skull jawbone andnext thing you know
every hipster tattooer across the country has onein their book. But who knows, maybe rooster tattoos are the next owls. It was kind offunny when Chucks buddy came in and Chuck pointed him out as his cocktattoo customer and his buddy raised his fist in the air because hethought he was being singled out for being so cool but when Chuck said, "you're the fourth one this week" he was all bummed. Everyone wants to be first yet in tattooing the best tattoos are the ones that everyone's got. Give me the cliches any day the eagles, the panthers, hearts, roses. They're tried and true for a reason. It's when people come in with the designs that need to be explained that you know you're in trouble. It's a tattoo, it's gotta look good, another 10 years you probably won't even remember what you were thinking but you'll still be looking at the thing. So go out, get something bitchin, like a nice set of cocks perhaps. |
