so, i'm on myspace tonight. i'm pretty sure no one uses it much anymore, but for some reason, we still all check in on a regular basis. anyhow, i get this message from some tattoo "artist" and it goes something like this:
how r u? im Krill im in belvue area of schenectady and i do tattoo's and im alot cheaper than every tattoo shop around. this pic below is a piece i just did today for $50, please check out my site and send a friend request if u like wat i do. and feel free to hit me up anytime-thanks, its nice to meet you
i'm so impressed with this message. i mean, pristine grammar, immaculate spelling, such wonderfully creative use of abbreviations, i'm in awe. so naturally, i am compelled to investigate his page. upon reaching this wonder of all wonders, i find....well....exactly what i was expecting. there is, really, no evidence that this guy actually has some sort of parlor. his profile provides no information, no accreditation, no licensing or address, and really not much of a portfolio. from what i have seen, it appears that most of his work is from flash. the line quality is terrible. the value work is of debatable quality. hell, the artwork itself isn't even all that hot. it reminds me a lot of prison tattoos actually. now, i'm not one to tear down someone's art, someone's personal expressions, or crafts. however -- i feel that this kind of work, done from home (hypothetically speaking), in a visibly amateur fashion, is best saved for the canvases of your friends' flesh. i don't care if your idiot friends want some unprofessional hack leaving permanent scars on their bodies. but seriously, don't peddle your services to me. i'm not some underage kid, who can't legally be tattooed, looking for a friend of a friend to practice on me.
thanks.
but no thanks.
