That was the war criminal who shot a dude in the face, right? But what does this tell us about Biden's mental state??? You're dropping the ball, CNN.

Made a new flash painting. I’d love to tattoo any of these 😍

Larry Copeland hosted a gathering of tattoo and piercing fans at his Hoboken, NJ residence in 1974/5.

In attendance was Emil Gundelach who continued getting tattooed into his 90s, Tatu Scotty, Spider Webb, Dave Slack, Mary, and Ken Meyer (among other unnamed friends)
Dave Slack was a queer tattoo artist who worked in NYC in the 1970s/80s. He appeared in the legendary gay xxx video "NYC INFERNO" (playing a tattoo artist).

This clip, recorded in approx 1974/5, also features Emil Gundelach, Larry Copeland, Key Meyer, and Spider Webb.

It'll be playing in Philly. Well worth seeing on the big screen!

Im seeing it tomorrow. HUGE Tron fan, but yeah man- the Leto thing has me just hoping that it at least looks cool in 3D
I was a bar GM for a decade or so and can confirm. After a long shift of babysitting annoying drunks, we'd always relax with a couple five cocktails.
Updates: Despite covering the nudity, this got a nudity tag here on Bluesky, and the uncensored pic was flagged on patreon as pornography. I appealed there and won, since it's NOT pornography, but since Bluesky's CEO is starting to go "full Musk" I'll likely not win the appeal here.
This is the length (heh) I go to to not get banned on Instagram again. Leg tattoos by Raven

I reckon a nice charcuterie plate, maybe a Mai Tai, and non-stop laughing.

On Aug 16th, I gave the first in a series of lectures on the under documented history of Queer Tattooing. We covered a basic primer on some of the early (1960s-80s) queer tat pioneers, then dug into cruising culture documentarian/tattooer John Dagion.

This book serves as a lecture companion...

I travel with a little monster called "Sailor Beebo" which isn't a bear but does make me sleep better in hotels.
Robert E. Roberts - Maddog Tattoo - 1990s.
Slide building is going well on the Indelible Identities lecture on Queer Tattoo History.
I recently imported that whole video. It’s amazing. At least two underground queer tattoo shops were documented - think around 1974
