When I lived in the Midwest, I lived a couple hours away from Joshua Carlton. We lived within driving distance for years, but our paths never crossed. I always wanted to meet him, but we never did. Fast forward to 2012, I once again live within a couple hours from Joshua. Our paths have yet to cross in Oregon, but hopefully they will this time.

I never know how to feel about posting ink-sponsored videos. On one hand, it’s great to know tattooers receive product/financial support for making videos like this –and the increased production value doesn’t hurt, either. But on the other… well, we’ve all seen sites covered in Google Ads for cheap Chinese tattoo machines, and the last thing I want anyone to think is that Tattoo Snob is interested in helping put materials in the hands of less-than-capable “artists.”
Whatever – use your judgement. This video is neat.
No more bitching that we post people that Americans could not possibly get tattooed by!
Anabi has an upcoming guest spot here in the States–at Crimson Torch Tattoo Collective in Eugene, OR (Joshua Carlton’s new shop) in April, acutally. If you’d like to get tattooed by him while he’s in town, you can email him with the following info:

Since moving to Oregon, we haven’t heard much from Joshua Carlton, but clearly he’s still doing his thing. In case you haven’t heard, you can find Mr. Carlton at The Parlour Tattoo in Eugene, OR.

I feel old making a refernence to Budweiser’s Spuds MacKenzie advertising campaign, but it’s still the first thing I think of when I see a bull terrier.
