Publisher’s Note

S o as humans we have reached another year in the great calender. According to

some it could be our last year living as we currently are. Part of me wants the

great change or apocalypse to happen just because I personally think things are

way fucked up globally and there almost needs to be a great reset. I also have a deep

underlying Viking fantasy of pillaging and plundering so that doesn't really help in my

desire for the status quo to continue. All the doom pandering aside, it is the time of year

to be thankful, perform pagan traditions and conveniently celebrate the birth of the baby

Jesus. Speaking of the baby Jesus, how fitting is it that we landed an article on The Lamb

of God himself! Well at least the band. I love it when things magically fall together.

Staying on the Jesus theme, the holidays and the New Year’s resolutions and so forth,

I am sure no matter what mystical God or ancient fairy tale you believe in we all know what it is like to be

crucified in some way or another. Life is hard and there are assholes everywhere that just can’t wait to drive a

nail in, even if you feel that your intentions are virtuous and you are trying to do good by the people you serve

or the community you belong to. Look at the story of Jesus; it’s pretty obvious that he was on a mission to

change the world and make it a better place and pretty much buck the system that had become so vile and

corrupt it was unacceptable to him.What happened to him? We all know how that went. Much is the same in

the story of PRICK or for anyone trying to do something bigger than his or her self. Sometimes the haters win

or at least beat the shit out of you trying.Well, I stand before you, (stealing a line from Jonah Hill’s new baby

sitter movie), for our New Year’s resolution as humans.“Let our haters be our motivators” and rise above no

matter what the situation is. One hundred thousand readers can’t be wrong. It could be our last year on Earth.

Let’s be done fucking around and live like it’s the end of the world in 2012! Enjoy this awesome issue as our

gift to you. – Chuck B

10th Annual

BOSTON

by George Weinstein

L ike Ravel’s musical piece, Bolero , where he used an

orchestra to simulate foreplay and the sex act leading to

orgasm and then to afterglow, such is how the Boston

Tattoo Convention began and ended.

On Friday Sept. 2, 2011, early in the morning, the tattoo

artists and the vendors began their work of setting up their areas

with signs, merchandise and equipment on the second floor of the

Boston Back Bay Sheraton Hotel, which is part of the huge

Prudential Center complex of buildings and businesses known

affectionately to Boston natives as the ‘Pru’.

The convention goers had their pick of some of the greatest

artists from the Far East, like Japan, to that other Far East, New

Jersey. Commerce and art slowly built up through the night.

Permanent beauty was given to those who desired it and were 18

years old and older.

Jagermeister made its presence known with a 20-foot-high

inflatable “bottle” of the stuff and some of the hottest babes

Boston and its suburbs could offer in the way of sexy and fun

promotional work. There were blondes and brunettes and

chances to win a treasure chest of Jagermeister swag.

And for those who had brand loyalty to that beverage: a

hottie named Brooke applied a spray-on stencil spelling out the

drink’s name.

I went for it on the back of my neck just to have Brooke

apply it and then blow on it to help it dry.

The next three days were officially Labor Day Weekend and

the crowds were there not only because they are ink lovers but

also because most of them would do no labor on THAT weekend

and were FREE. Except, of course, for the artists and vendors

and the tireless Natan Alexander who ran the shindig and his

faithful crew graced by the lovely and extremely efficient,Aya

Hashimoto.

Over the weekend inked up babes strutted the catwalk in

Tattoo Convention

several rounds for the title of Miss Boston Ink. Judges included this issue’s cover girl, Leah Jung,

Playboy’s Miss June 2011, Mei-Ling Lam and Cambodian born beauty, Chanty Sok, who played

Christian Bale’s girlfriend in the Oscar laden pic, The Fighter .

While the tattoo artists worked their magic, from time to time someone from

Alexander’s shop,Witch City Ink (Salem, Mass.), would go up on the stage where the Miss

Boston Ink Beauty Pageant was held and rock music played, and request that people with 9/11

Remembrance and other especially meaningful American tattoos step up to pay tribute.

Perhaps the most impressive was the “ALL GAVE SOME, SOME GAVE ALL” tattoo on

the arm of the big guy in the green “IRISH” t-shirt, Ian Brinson, who was awarded three Purple

Hearts for his courage and his wounds in Iraq.

After the Labor Day Weekend petered out, indicating the official end of Summer, the 10th

Annual Boston Tattoo Convention came to an end.Visit http://bostontattooconvention.com/
