Obviously its personal preference but which pros do you think have cool or lame tats? I'm a big fan of tattoos so i really notice them and they stand out to me

Bobby Worrest's look sick I reckon as do BA's and some of the baker/deathwish guys and I actually like Chris Coles of all fucking people

Worst ones go to Nyjah, Sheckler, Chaz Ortiz, Biebel, Dill

Also does anyone remember that guy who was on deathwish when it was a new company and he had a deathwish tattoo above his eyebrow? I remember seeing a sequence of him doing a switch 360 boneless down a set but it seems he disappeared as soon as he came up.

Didn't he also have "fuck you" on his neck or something?

My vote goes to Ryan Gee's raver tattoo.

Senn dog has some sick tats, he's also an amazing tattoo artist www.instagram.com/chrissenn

Typically when someones blacked out like Bourne its because there was some racist or weird shit under all that black.

Gilbert loses.

I love American Traditional but to get your whole body just a bunch of random, black heavy, American Traditional tats is stupid as fuck.

He got those black sleeves because he wanted them, not to cover anything up. I remember an interview where he takes about them, maybe in the now defunct Strength magazine.

emm.. Twuan? yep, Antwuan all the way, Andy Roy/J. Rogers not so far behind in regrettable, awful tattoos. Body placement is no joke but apparently they don't get it?

I feel like tattoos are a lot like skating now neither are really a subculture anymore. There is some really cool shit going on but you have to dig through loads of shite to get to the good stuff.

I know next to nothing about art or drawing so I almost feel like it is not my place to get one and contribute to the hundreds of other shit tattoos out there. If I had any real knowledge I may feel differently. I don't think the tattoo world needs more people who are not entrenched in the culture adding to it. Kind of like my skating, it is not anywhere near the level it take to get sponsored so why bother filming it and put it out anywhere?

Anyway, I always thought AVE and BA had cool tattoos but it is probably because they both look kind of like tough guys and suit them somewhat. I've always thought they have looked pretty weird on young, soft looking guys. Probably have to see more up close to get a better opinion.

I feel exactly the same as you my friend. Well said.

Lizard King's UFC tat takes the cake for me.

Gilbert has the worst tats IMO.

Scott Bourne has really small nipples.

poor alice · « **Reply #26 on:** March 20, 2016, 05:31:23 PM »

I'm not entirely sure I could articulate why but Scott Bourne's black out arms have grown on me. Maybe it's because it's rather unique, it's not just like everyone else's tattoos (my few included) in that they aren't just a collection of images.

Hoffart oddly has a very clean tattoo but it just does;t work. I think guys shouldn't get butterflies in my opinion.

HAHAHAHHA Hoffart would have fucking butterflies what a loser
