Jason X Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 http://photos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs197.snc3/20471_104163216278103_100000532756640_110306_7126846_n.jpg It's a travis the chimp memorial tattoo. It needs a bit more explaining, because it's more emotional than violent. basically, it goes like this: 1) when people try to control and enslave (or adopt) wild animals, bad things can happen. You need to be aware of this. I'm not saying that people shouldn't rescue animals, but they're not people. they never will be. Don't give them xanax. bad things will happen. Leave them alone 2) people to completely fucked up things to animals on a several times a day basis. kill them, eat them, enslave them, whathaveyou. doesn't matter. The people at fault are very rarely made to answer for their actions. damn near every time an animal attacks and/or kills a person, it's a matter of finding and killing that animal. Animals rarely make these decisions. they just do the animal thing. I personally can't fault them for it. Tatiana the tiger. tiger, in a san francisco zoo. 3 kids are throwing rocks at her. she breaks out, stalks them through the zoo and kills one of them and mauls other two. Good on her. that's what they get. Life lessons taught by animals. http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/12/27/tiger.attack/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason X Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 useful information. artist: Ania Jalosinskastudio: 3062 in Bayview, Milwaukee, WI. http://www.thirtysixtytwo.com she's moving back home to Poland at the end of march, which makes me sad, because I want more work from her. Just not that soon. I did this in 18 hours (of actual tattoo time. 22 hours of tattoo shop time) over two days. It was brutal and awesome. anyone looking for an amazing tattoo in the milwaukee (or even chicago/twin cities areas) look them up. Her and Lane are fantastic. only potential rival I've seen is MAYBE Uptown tattoo, in mpls, but Lane (co-owner of the shop) is vegan, and therefore wins. and he's got a style that you see and know is his.

VeganEssentials Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Cool work! Nice to know some info on vegan-friendly tattoo artists here in the Milwaukee area, since I've always thought about getting something done in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason X Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 ryan, do it! those folks at that shop are great artist, great people, and the studio is absolutely amazing. Also, it looks like I'll be in town again before she moves, are you doing much lifting? and if so, where? last time I was in town I went to Neutral Ground for a session, but are there many options? but again, tyler (the proprieter of NG is vegan and straightedge, so that's another big win) Man. I love milwaukee. I want back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medman Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 That's an awesome tattoo! I've always wanted one, but haven't thought of anything I like enough that I wouldn't get sick of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason X Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 18 Hours over 2 days!!! Holy shit, you're a tough bastard After about 5 hours I tend to get the shakes.... I dunno. I'm just really good at that "grin and bear it" thing. I pride myself on my ability to not be stopped. Should come in handy. Rugby practices start wednesday. Love that Tatt, I'm currently getting an animal rights inspired 1/2 sleave with Vervet monkeys...Still got a way to go. In progress pics and details. Who and where?

VeganEssentials Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I'm still working on some ideas, never had any tattoos done yet, but I've had a feeling that one is in my future, so this may be the impetus to not stall for too long. Still lifting, primarly at Anytime Fitness in Pewaukee since I can go there late night after work. Not too many places that are accomodating to my weird schedule, so they've been my place of choice this past few years. Never been to Neutral Ground, but I'll have to check it out next time I'm in that area - I hadn't even heard of it before, so thanks for the tip! Yeah, I complain about the weather here, but I can't leave this area. There's just too much great stuff for the 8 good months of the year we have weather-wise, it's just a matter of getting through the winter and it's all good again! ryan, do it! those folks at that shop are great artist, great people, and the studio is absolutely amazing.

Jason X Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 Ryan, to clarify, neutral ground is the MMA gym/dojo section. The little weightroom in the back is called Second Nature Fitness. a link http://www.secondnaturefitness.org/index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason X Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 well, a little bit abstract, but it's a chimpanzee (representative of travis) holding a human face (representative of the neighbor lady). means "hands off the animals". just like the raid song and cd.

Saulo Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I see it nowSometimes I feel uneasy talking to people about their tattoos. I'm blank(drawing up ideas for my future tattoos and looking at books) and I never want people to feel insecure about their ink."Siqq ink brah!"

JLat86 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 they just do the animal thing. I personally can't fault them for it. It seems to me the lack of moral accountability you describe is a good argument for why it is okay to kill an animal for human safety reasons. that's what they get. Life lessons taught by animals. Agreed. But note that a tiger could never learn a similar lesson taught by humans. Tatiana wasn't thinking, "is this because I mauled those people?" when they shot her. There is no moral equivalency between humans and animals even if you want there to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubby2112 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I love it. It is morbid, but I love morbid art. Especially morbid and abstract. I will only get a tattoo if it is morbid in some way, because I am more likely to appreciate it in the long run, haha. I am working on an animal rights/atheist combo tattoo with my artist. She isn't vegan, but got all vegan supplies just for me. Right now, my animal rights tattoo just says vegan on my left arm, but it will be expanded into a full sleeve, hopefully soon. I am itching for a partner for my other sleeve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
