EVERYBODY WANTS SOME
E
arlier this month, I saw
swan around your hometown
at 17 with some kind of
remedial art project on your
shoulder, knock yourself out,
but there’s a responsibility
that should lie with the
tattooist for this as well.
See, I can kind of roll with
the fact that at 17, you really
want it done and also that
you’ll lie through your gritted
teeth until you get your way. I
can even accept the fact that
a tattooist—somewhere—will
do it too, because as much as
I would like to say “it doesn’t
whole life with something
that was supposed to be Bugs
Bunny on your shoulder, but
a sprawling snail-line that
comes down from your wrist
and across the back of your
hand like the results of an LSD
fuelled henna party? That’s
a different thing altogether.
On the lip side of this,
later that same day in fact, I
was buying some shoes. The
guy that took my cash had a
tattoo right in the middle of
his forearm—it was well done,
really well done. I pointed
it was—and that’s when a
tattoo really works. They have
a language all of their own
and that in itself is priceless.
Anyway, merely hours apart,
I stumbled across some of
the best and worst of what
tattooing has to offer—all
you seemingly have to do
these days is step out of the
door. One fuels the reason
the media like saying what
they say about it, the other is
the reason all of us reading
this get up in the morning.
Do not think you can change
it. It has happened for years
and will continue to happen
for many more. To try and ix it
is truly pointless, but the fact
remains: owning a machine, or
a studio and hanging up a sign
is not a licence to be a dick.
Or as I would prefer to spin
it, just because you can get in
that dress, doesn’t mean it its.
one of my daughter’s
friends in Starbucks—I
say ‘friend’ but the last
time I saw them together was
when they were about six and
rustling up some country line
dancing in the school ield.
They are both just turned 17,
but larger than life, sitting
on her wrist and hand for all
to see like Long John Silver’s
parrot (was that him or some
other treasure hunting dude?
I forget), was a tattoo. A crap
tattoo at that—there’s no
other way of saying it. I asked
her where she got it and the
answer didn’t surprise me.
Now, before I come off as
being somewhat out of touch,
I still remember what it’s
like to go to the pub before
you’re legally allowed to and
get so hammered that your
face falls off. I also know the
thrill of watching an 18-rated
movie at 14 because the
guy who owns the cinema
doesn’t care and, although
I was 19 when I got my irst
tattoo, can imagine that—
particularly now—the call of
the ink is rather strong while
you’re growing up. Everybody
wants to belong, right?
To a certain point, you can
even let slide the fact that it
happens—there’s a certain
logic that says if you want to
NOT PARTICULARLY SPEAKING AS THE
EDITOR OF SKIN DEEP BUT MORE AS A
SEMI-SENTIENT HUMAN BEING, EVEN AN
EMPTY SACK OF GRAIN WOULD HAVE TO
QUESTION THE PLACEMENT OF THAT PIECE
happen”, it damn well does.
Not particularly speaking
as the editor of Skin Deep,
but more as a semi-sentient
human being, even an empty
sack of grain would have to
question the placement of that
piece. It was obviously her irst
tattoo and somebody—with
no real understanding of the
art but a huge understanding
that £30 for half-an-hour’s
work can put half a tank of
petrol in your car—thought
it would be ine to do it.
I don’t know who’s dumber.
You really can live your
at it and said four words
that made both of us smile:
“Children of the Fence”.
It probably means nothing
to you and I won’t bother
explaining it here. Fact is, in
those few minutes of buying
shoes, we had a bond. I had
discovered the thing in his life
that he loved enough about
to commit to good ink and
the fact that I had deciphered
his secret symbol, meant we
were on the same page. I felt
good that he felt good. He
probably felt good because he
didn’t have to explain what

Laura Jane lives in
an area called Mount
Lawley, which is
almost like Brick Lane
of London. However,
if you didn’t know
anyone in Perth, it
would come across
as being the kind of
place you might not
enjoy or appreciate.

OFF THE MAP
When Ian Robert
McKown said he
would really like to
interview the owner
of TattooNow and Off
The Map guru, Gabe
Ripley, for us, what
else could we do but
hand over the pen…
STEVE LOCK
A foreign exchange
money broker-turned-
professional chef with
a deep love of tattoos
isn’t exactly the kind
of person you meet
every day, which is
precisely why we
knew that a chat
with Steven Lock was
an absolute must.
SO YOU
THINK YOU KNOW
AMANDA WEST…
Amanda West needs
no introduction
around here, so we
get straight down
to the good stuff…

A giant meteor
heading straight
for earth. The

underground bunker.
Are you a heart
surgeon? Step right
up. Tattoo artist?
Goodbye and good
luck. The wisdom
of David Bryant
is upon us.
