He’s definitely on my bucket list of artist to get tattooed by. I just crossed off Oliver Peck two days ago when he tattooed my shin.

Tim talking at the end made me realize one thing that makes tattooing so special... What other visual art can you experience with such an intimate proximity? It's even better than holding up a canvas while Bob Ross paints on it. It's so personal on so many levels. I managed a shop as a kid, and I so miss bearing witness to incredible artists using their gift, honing their gift, and even taking a roll in the process! It really is like nothing else! I'm forever grateful to have had that experience!!!

Another fantastic guy from the tattooing industry, Tim is a really nice guy who has worked hard to get where he is 👍.

Growing up poor, if you can come out of it ok, is one of the most valuable lessons you could have in life. (school of hard knocks) !

Tim is a legend in my eyes I remember going into the grocery store going to the magazine isle as a child and stealing a tattoo magazine and tracing his tattoos I was like eight dude before the TV stuff weird

[@TerryLivelyInk]

I couldn't stop thinking the same thing. They need to make a movie about this guy and Ed Norton would play him...

[@brodyrichard263]

[@jeffleblanc8850]

Hope you still have that catfish I’m sure you do or you will find it all the old timers are pretty much gone now

[@MrBac00]

[@tatfoo]

Look at Tim's eyes there like lizards

[@tommygunntattoo]

this bullshit "us" and "them" mentality is the shit that will ultimately destroy the tradition/game. Good job, guys. You will be remembered as the selfish, calling the industry oversaturated artists who basically turned their backs on the career that gave them so much. FTW right man?

[@boydsexytime]

I think it's amazing that a lot of these really awesome tattoo artists started out as scratchers pretty much. Get the tattoo industry today tries to discourage anybody from learning. I think that if one of these guys opened up some sort of tattoo School it would be a hit I would love to learn from one of these guys

[@adrianhuitron8772]

It was worse in the 90s people would shoot u if u tried to open up to close to them no one would sell u equipment and their was no internet to find knowledge it was vad i remember sawdering my needles and tuning coils and having to trace all the stencils by hand it was gnarly bro nowadays their more open to let scratchers in...

[@Jon_Dawe]

Legend!!
