Paul Booth - Neck Surgery, Losing His Studio to COVID + More

[@grantonnintendo9525]

Congrats on beating cancer Graham!!! So happy for you and I hope you’re feeling well.

[@Talix.]

Paul is such a legend. The fact that he has been in the industry for as long as he has and is still successful is a testament to him as an artist.

[@alkatraz706]

Paul was my main inspiration to get into tattooing back in the early 2000's..knowing how sick he is now really breaks my heart.

[@ell0.mp3]

Paul really is a legend, saw him tattoo once and his work is even better in real life, what a cool guy and amazing artist 🤘🏻🔥

[@SupeS19811981]

This dude is my favourite artist hands down. Sad to hear about all the low points but glad to hear everything is pushing forward and getting better. Keep up the amazing work.

[@HSarwar422]

Paul booth has come along way. My fav is his work on kerry king. It's good to see it him laughing

[@lcsswyer]

Such an absolute legend

[@lordteufel4578]

I'm definitely glad to hear that he is doing much better now and I wish for nothing but the best for him

[@mosesmedina7291]

Sorry to hear about the recent string of bad luck Paul Booth. I miss going to the NYC tattoo convention and seeing your awesome work! I hope you can go back to normal and come back home to NYC!

[@ricruso59]

Paul you have been one of my hero's in the 30yrs.ive tattooed, I wish you well sir!!!

[@scottadams5858]

Keep your chin up brother. You are one of the greats, I have been a fan of your work my whole 25 year career

[@ThuTroothHurtz]

Spent many days at Last Rites. Paul was in his private room but never once saw him walk through to say anything to the peasants.

[@moosestubbings1853]

I had to tattoo a client only 2 weeks after having heart surgery(aortic root replacement 2009) only a day after having my staples removed I did a chucky doll on someones back it felt right And the work was clean and crisp I gotta say the pain came through in my artwork

[@BaysingersDiscGolfChannel]

Paul is awesome. I would love the chance to get tattooed by him!

[@johnarmstrong7926]

Paul is amazing that painting of Pantera is incredible 👏👏👏👏👏

[@MeszarosWreckords]

Thanks Paul

[@stenzeliron6818]

So cool!! Hope to see more Paul Booth soon!! Always dig these visits with him.

[@williamlanphar630]

Paul has worked on me over a 9 year period. Last time Lior was still in his shop. My work has never been completed as i could never get another appointment . I tried for a number of years but never was able to get past the girl who answered the phone Paula , as i recall. I finally just gave up trying.

[@slabs6661]

Same. I had the same issue, he started a back piece on me at his home in New Jersey, when he was still with Barbara. I only had an outline, and I ended up getting it covered up by my artist for the last twenty four years!!!!

[@darksu6947]

It sucks when your favorite artist gets too busy and can't finish his job. That just sucks

[@williamlanphar630]

Yes it does. I suppose if i were someone important like Corey Taylor things would never gotten to this state but it is what it is.

[@darksu6947]

@@williamlanphar630 Well, get more important or something! Jesus dude, duh!

[@williamlanphar630]

[@theariesexperiment4642]

When tattooing,.....its absolutely hell on your neck and back. The countless hours one logs doing tats is just insane.

[@SOMNIPHOBIA666]

Such a humble dude. Definitely getting tattooed by him some time when ever the next listing is 3 years I think it is? I'm saving a half an arm for him. That's basically all I have left I got a lot of great dark work by some great artists. He's on the bucket list!

[@iuliannicola5715]

Try Liorcifer, HE. Is anoother great artist, specialized în dark work

[@Ishitonyou666]

Good luck I never got a call/reply from Him. I was lucky to get inked by Lior (ex-Last Rites)back in 04’ .

[@MIZORAM_mafaka_hnamte]

It's my dream to get a tattoo from Paul Booth.. I know I'm not the only one

[@u.s.m.c.fewproudthemarines2987]

Yes I have 30tats would to finish off my tats with one by him

[@cj222100]

He has such a relaxing, calming manner of speaking. I'd love if he did voiceover work or a podcast.

[@Poppa_82]

I met Paul Booth twice in Toronto Canada 🇨🇦 at the tattoo convention....I got tattooed by Bob Tyrell. Paul Booth was in the same tattoo booth!

[@Gene-XL]

So talented and humble!

[@DjediVibrations]

Met the Legend at the first ever Tattoo the Earth in Massachusetts glad he's still rolling

[@alkemus]

I met Paul back in the early 2000s when he was part of the Tattoo The Earth metal festival. One of my favorite experiences.

[@dalemohler4172]

My Father worked with him for a sec ,Tim Reddog Mohler I always looked up to his work and was inspired . I wish could afford a piece.

[@slaveriotgaming1814]

I've admired Paul's art for what seems to be 2 decades. I'd love the opportunity to get as much ink from him as possible. You're the man Paul

[@gregmcnab9004]

I'm glad Paul's in this world

[@tjfirefly8396]

A great artist. Meet him once at atl convention and was down earth guy

[@ImmolationVenus666]

I love Paul Booth's personality, art and the collection of oddities and other spooky things he had/has all over his shop, I'm glad he's doing better and when I first saw the neck brace on him.. I was like oh no but I know other artists lose their leg falling over or lose something else of their body so I'm glad Paul's still in one piece!

[@dustenwhelan3597]

id love to see more interviews with him. thanks for doing this. and congrats on getting well graham.

[@christhayil8354]

Paul should never ever be out of business at anytime. He's like the Frank Frazetta or Boris Vallejo of tattoo artists!!!

[@aarongarza4892]

He came down here in Mercedes livestock Texas in 2000 for that big show called tattoo of the earth tribute to the tattoo artists! I saw him walking around and then went to the one of the many booths and I can still here the needles roaring out the booths what a big show so many band's and muddvaine was there promoting there fist album! Slayer was there nothing face rest in peace Matt I toke out a phat blunt with him and that guitarist whom he went out and collaborated with hell yeah sepultra el nino Amen full metal jacket slipknot sevendust and one minute silence and so many others. What a great show it was I went up to the singer of muddvaine and said to him as I huged him and shaked his hand and said dude your are going big with this album!

[@Ottophil]

I was at tattoo the earth as well. Scranton PA. Saw Paul tattoo a member of sevendust, and also met chad grey. 22 years flys by quick

That bike is badass!! That book for Pantera is BADASS!!! Would love to get tatted by him. He tatted Phil Anselmo for gods sake. This guy is a LEGEND!!! Much love from VA.

Omg, these two seem like relatives. Exact same facial expressions and both looking at the floor the same way 😂 Paul’s bad ass!

[@urbanguerrillaproductions]

I DEFINITELY want to hear about it Paul. You're a true rock Star!

[@the_dank_shredder]

I tattooed for 25 years before diabetes destroyed my vision. The other part was a truly jacked up neck from tattooing. Paul is the man though!

[@Rebb1989]

Man imagine graham getting his first tattoo by Paul the legend!

[@mattrock12]

Doesn’t matter what you do (or don’t do) for a living. If you don’t care for your body (or in this and many cases, care for it at all) you’re going to fall apart, require surgery, and suffer consequences. I sit on my ass at a computer for a living (25-ish yrs now) and you know what I don’t do in my spare time? Sit on my ass…. Paul is a great talent, but he looks incredibly unhealthy on every level. You get what you put in. All the best to you and hope you can swing this around!

[@joerondorf926]

I need some Booth ink

[@Razrback]

He is the man though

He’ll continue to vote democrat. Most Metal heads are libs for some annoying reason.

[@Ishitonyou666]

Facts! I don’t get it, most metalheads like me don’t care about politics , he was a Punk Kid before he was a metalhead so that could be it. Also he lives in a liberal area in NJ.
