Welcome to Tattoo Talk
I'm Mike on the right. That's my buddy Keith on the left. Keith, my wife Cathy and I, and some of our friends have set up a web page about tattoos. Sometimes we talk about what motivates us to get ink, but we're not looking for common themes or ultimate truths. We think people get tattoos for all sorts of reasons.
Mostly, our web page offers a lot of tattoo pictures...tattoos with lots of color as well as fine black and grey work. In many instances, the tattoos you will see here were done by well-known artists. In some instances, you'll see tattoos done by artists known only to their friends.
We also have many pictures of tattoos and artists at work at the 1996 and 1997 Richmond Tattoo Conventions. And, we have a large Guest Section with many creative tattoos. Mail me if you'd like to post a picture of your tattoo on Tattoo Talk. Just attach it...jpg or gif files only...to your email. We've also included links to some interesting tattoo sites.
We appreciate getting your feedback, too, so while you're here, please sign our guest book.
