Prick Magazine 2011-08.pdf

W e received a lot of feedback on our June/July issue and the announcement of

some of our projected endeavors. INK Atlanta was launched in July and was

very well accepted. We also announced we are doing a more hip hop /rap

version of PRICK called Rhythm & Ink and an artist collective magazine called TAP, Tattoo

Artist Portfolio, Magazine.TAP is still a work in progress and we are looking for artist spon-

sors now. Check out www.tattooartistportfolios.net to sign on to that project.

The feedback on the Rhythm & Ink project announcement was huge and different from

what I expected. Some people thought it was a great idea and some were just flat out discriminatory. Others

couldn’t grasp the fact that art is subjective to the collector. As a publisher and heavily tattooed “collector” for

lack of a better word, I must say that the concept behind all my publications has been about the “tattoo lifestyle”.

Yes I want to show the best tattoos out there but I also want to cover all aspects of the culture that I am part

of. Some of us just want to mark our bodies to represent ourselves not the artist. A “Thug Life” tattoo might

not be everyone’s cup of tea but I am sure Tupac Shakur loved his. Rhythm & Ink is still in the works but has

been put back on the drawing board for tweaks, refinements and politics.

All venting aside, Ink Atlanta Magazine was a great success locally. Atlantans were very happy to have their

own tattoo magazine back. People in other cities have already expressed desire of one in their town. Originally

having multiple regions of PRICK Magazine was the idea. Each region having its own mag with localized content

and advertising. INK Atlanta has reopened the door to the franchise idea. Our new main directive is to find like

minded (existing or would be) publishers across the U.S. and set them up with a turn key magazine franchise.

We have all the framework and systems ready to go.There are already other franchises lined up. Stay tuned for

that announcement in upcoming issues. Contact us now for franchise info for your city! Check out www.inkat-

lanta.net to see what we have going. – Chuck B

CAPE FEAR

I f you didn’t know better you would have thought the first

annual Cape Fear Tattoo Expo was in its fifth or sixth year.

The expo ran like clockwork with fantastic artists, celebri-

ties,live bands, co-ed wrestling, and tattoo contests. Expo producer

Bart Andrews of Bombs Away Tattoo in nearby Jacksonville, NC not

only ran the show he also tattooed all weekend.Tattooing the likes

of Mudvayne bassist, Ryan Martinie, no less, he didn’t miss a beat.

It’s cliche to say but the tattoos created at the expo were

amazing. I did notice that the general disposition of all the

artists was pleasantly cohesive. Everyone seemed happy to be

there.The only negative thing was having to miss out on going

fishing or hitting the Carolina beaches and bars due to all the

stuff going on at the event. Never a dull moment really. The

after parties and the hotel were not to dissappoint either.The

expo was close to lots of great bars within walking distance so

needless to say some vigorous drinking and stumbling back to

the hotel took place.The official after party was packed. Bands

shredded ear drums from atop a lofted stage with blistering

sets of punk rock anthems.The bar was so packed with artists

and collectors there was hardly an inch between the drunken,

undulating tattooed revellors. We had to wait for people to

leave to even be able to enter; it was filled to capacity!

It could be the coastline or the military bases in the area

or just good marketing but the goodtime, party down attitude

was everywhere.
