This all worked out about right. I am going to need to get rid of a bunch of cigars from my coolers when I move everything to the cabinet, so the timing couldn't have been better. Well, here's the question:
I am doing a tattoo on the carpenter who built my cabinet as payment in trade. What is the tattoo, and what famous tattoo artist's sketchbook did I base alot of the design off of?
Winner will be announced with my 2000th post.

Let's go with one guess between updates. The tattoo artist in question actually started out as a flash artist, strictly selling flash to tattoo shops. Some of his customers finally talked him into picking up a tattoo machine and giving it a whirl, and he is now without doubt one of the best artists in his style.
Ill go with Guy Atchison and its some Biomechanical Monster.

The best artists in the country regularly guest spot at this shop, its amazing the talent that walks through there. The reason is, the owner, Gabe, handles ALOT of tattoo artists' websites, at least half or more of the main "star" tattoo artists use him. Check out their artist list, as you go down the page you see under the artist's name the dates they will be there. You've got Todo, Bob Tyrell, Scottie Munster, Stefano, Jason Ackerman, and a bunch of other dope mofos all in the next month and a half. And on top of that, the full-time artists there are amazing as well.
Dude, definitely check them out. I promise it will be worth the drive to get the ink these people lay down. If I lived in the same state as this place, I'd be broke. For real man, check out their portfolios on the website.

The artists there are about the best on the entire East Coast. With the exception of All or Nothing (Brandon Bond's shop) in Atlanta, there is no other shop with that concentration of talent east of the Mississippi. -- Oh, and a quick sidenote, on the artists page, about halfway down, is Tim Harris. He was one of the judges that judged my Predator when it won tattoo of the day, and he was wearing the same white hat he is in that picture, lol -- On the real man, if you don't get tattooed at one of these two shops, you should be ashamed of yourself, lol.
But seriously, you really do want to check out artists way before you even step into their shops nowadays. The amount of talent out there is staggering. Almost every major city is going to have at least one shop that does magazine quality work, at a minimum. If you put at least a hour or two's worth of research on the internet prior to going into a shop, there is no way you shouldn't walk away with magazine quality (and probably award-winning) ink. Ask Ozzie, he'll tell you the same, lol.
I seem to have written a novel here, lol, sorry about that.
Doh...
oh yeah Stoney St. Clair....... You should hear the storys! I will have to tell you about some of them sometime!
Thanks Alien, both those shops are a good 2 hour drive, but doable. Im very surprised that there is nothing closer to Boston (probably cuz Mass only recently allowed tatooing - past 10 years or so).
This is one of the very few fictional things that, throughout history, appeared in almost every religion and culture in one form or another, and has been a part of pop culture (or folklore, depending on how far you go back, lol) since recorded history.
Joe Capabianca Its a Pin UP OF SOME SORT
Since no one has guessed correctly yet, the next hint will be about the artist.
This artist has several sketchbooks to his credit. The name of his brand is synonymous with malodorous simians.
