Hey, as well as having the requisite rockstar-sleeve, Asian Jesus of The Dirty Chinese Thieves seems to have the same supercheap bass as I do! Anyway, I have two great tattoo interviews ready to go for tomorrow (and I did some really minor cleanup on the look of BME/news since a fairly fast production cycle is happening right now) — I’ll post whichever people are more interested in coming first. The two choices are the opposite ends of the spectrum; the spectacularly talented Johnny Thief, or the “interview with a scratcher”.

Nice sleeves =]
Personally, i would rather interview with a scratcher was posted first, it will be a nice opposite to the recent tattooist interviews, which focus on the much more ‘professional’ side of the art.

What sort of level of scratching is it though? Is it decent scratchers or low grade work anyone with a razor could do?
It’s getting a bit weird as a rift seem to appearing between “mainstream” tattoo’s and non-mainstream and the result is a sub culture within a sub culture?
