Looking to spice up that couch from Ikea without getting too corny? Might I suggest some of these tattoo-inspired pillows from Clandestine Rabbit instead? You can purchase them online via Andrew Sebastian for a mere $32 each.

With Hell City less than two weeks away, all of the new gear is starting to roll in. Below is just one of the many shirts that will be available for the event.

Obviously I can’t mention Hell City without reminding you that all weekend in Columbus you can participate in our Twitter giveaways – Catch us if you can! We’ll also be selling raffle tickets for our Win a trip to Hell City Phoenix throughout the weekend.

I know we poke a lot of fun at L.A. Ink but really, I don’t have anything against Dan Smith. Though I’m a little confused about this “unknown tattooer” tag on the back of this newly released shirt…

Thomas Hooper has two new shirts available for sale if you’re interested in some new threads.

T-shirts are a great way to support your favorite artist or shop, even if you can’t afford to get tattooed by them.

I usually don’t post about instructional DVD’s because it only appeals to a small percentage of our audience. However, this video below is too awesome not to post. This 2:00 minute video was sped up to 35,000%, and fully shows Mike DeVries hammering out a gorilla tattoo start to finish.

The actual DVD is real time, and Mike narrates the process, explaining his techniques in detail. This is only available to tattoo artists, and can be purchased in the near future at Mike’s online store.
