Spooky Time Tattoos by Doug Hardy @tattoosbydoughardy.bsky.social · Jul 29

Hello! I’m Doug Hardy. My father Ed Hardy brought me up in the world of tattooing and I’ve been part of the craft since 1992 myself. I now tattoo in the Los Angeles area and hope to make your vision come true on your skin!

Tattoo of the head of Mechagodzilla from the 1974 film “Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla”. It is in shades of metallic greys with orange and yellow reflections from what can be assumed to be fire

Tattoo if my client’s cat Ralphie, a fluffy orange and white tabby. He is surrounded by catnip, a teardrop shaped peace symbol, and Peter Max inspired stars and planes decorations. My client said that Ralphie was the hippie of her clowder so I thought those were appropriate for the image

Tattoo of a classic Japanese dragon in shades of green and gold on a person’s forearm. The dragon has wisps of fire adorning its body

Bizarrely colored slavering wolf’s head tattoo on my client’s shin. It is colored in purples, teals, and blues

I’ve never tattooed with single needle before but now that I’m working with people who specialize in that, I’m taking advantage of learning all that I can about the technique.

Photograph of an image of the Blood Devil girl “Power” from the manga Chainsaw Man where she is tilting her head to the side with her mouth open as she shouts out. Her cat Nyako/Meowy is on her left shoulder nuzzling Power’s ear. Next to this photocopy of this panel is a silicone practice skin for tattooing with the same image tattooed upon it.

It’s not racist for Black people to create and maintain Black spaces for their community. And it’s not racist for non-Black folks to not be invited into those spaces.

It’s also going above and beyond for Blacksky mods/admins/stewards(?) to even OFFER alternatives to Blacksky that they support.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

As a young boy who loved Star Trek in the 70s, Spock was an icon to me. Having finally been diagnosed last year, it makes even more sense to me now.

Harry, the guy with the snake on his face, is still one of my favorite John Candy characters all these years later.
