WORSHIPING THE DEITY OF TRASH TATTOOS



So....I am at Kat's Delicatessian tryna score me one of the best pastrami on rye with mayo and mustard in NY, and I observe the slicer behind the counter has some art work. As I look closer I can tell it is ok, but not horrible work...I decide not to say anything. He proceeds to ask me to a party.... yadda yadda yadda... i cant go, i have a tattoo shop, we are holding a party. he then begins to go in about his tattoo, and i quote" Oh, you have never seen art work like this."" You have never seen details in shading like this." blah blah blah...So i tell him your right, i haven't. My shop does better work than what you have on your arm. He is now taken aback...."oh oh oh", he says. "well can i come by your shop and see what you guys do cause, i know it ain't better than mine." " If i see what i like and it is better than mine,then i will get something." "Well then, you better know what you want" i say. he proceeds to tell me how many tatts he has, i say "I have more than that, but who's counting." "He says of course.... "let me see", so i show him one ....yes, one of the flowers on my shoulder..."Ohhhhh wow" he says THAAAAT IS NIIIIICE... all slow like. "THAAAAT IS NICE SHADING"... so i said "see..i told you"....hence my question.. 

WHY DO PEOPLE WORSHIP TRASH TATTOOS?
 is it really because they have never seen quality work? why on earth would he think, that what he has was really art work?, i mean, i really wish you could have seen it...and then his reaction when he saw mine.... it was priceless...please post your ideas and or theory. cause i cant seem to wrap my mind around it.....
till next time....stay tuned

creating a body of art... so many things this could possibly mean to so many different people....one of the first things it translates into is adorning my body with the art work of Dtatstar. the second is creating a blog that is well written, and through my eyes as an artist. we will fastword through all the "when i first got tatted 'and bring you into present day. the biggest and most impressive piece of art i have recieved is the geisha that starts on my hip and ends at my ankle. it is a work in progress and as i blog i will post pics of the continued art work. there it is my first blog paragraph, i hope it wasnt to much. i will keep writing ...stay tuned....to be continued...
