Artists and enthusiasts ban against TLC’s “Tattoo School" Maya Stanley, Tattoo Designs Examiner July 9, 2011 -
Just when you thought you have seen it all [on television], TLC reminds you they are just getting warmed up! On Thursday July 14th at 9pm, TLC Discovery channel will be airing “Tattoo School”. Where “award winning artist” Lisa Fasulo will teach her students the art form of tattooing in two weeks. As hysterically comical this concept is, all laughter aside it's downright appalling. The thought of having more scratchers inflicting their lack of experience on innocent victims is quite frightening.
Many genuine tattoo artists and enthusiasts are banning against the airing of this show through word of mouth, Facebook pages “Stop TLC from airing Tattoo School” and “Artists and collectors against TLC’s ‘Tattoo School’”, and online petitions. It is not only insulting to the actual tattoo artist and industry; it is dangerous to the person being tattooed! Picking a tattoo artist is much like choosing a physician. Should a patient let a surgeon with just two weeks of training cut them open or the surgeon who has the appropriate training and credentialing?
Despite the thoughts on the other TLC tattoo shows, artists and collectors who respect Ami James’ work, wonder how TLC can show episodes of James explaining the process and length of time it takes not only to obtain an apprenticeship but to complete one (to his eager shop manager), can turn around and air Tattoo School where Fasulo says it can be done it just two weeks!.................>>>>.................>>>>.................Continue reading on Examiner.com Artists and enthusiasts ban against TLC’s “Tattoo School" - National Tattoo Designs | Examiner.com http://www.examiner.com/tattoo.....school#ixzz1SHoCldcd
I barely remember Lasorsa's, but growing up on Helderberg Ave. I do remember more clearly:
Beverly Hose, where we would play baseball and football Motts Garage The Midget Market Zubal's Market The Little Super (when Benny and Dom owned it) Sunrise Gardens The Beebe Press Herman's Variety store (where Katina's is today) Ed Koppers Sunoco station Daly's Pond (my friend Eugene McDonough drowned there one summer) The cleaners that used to be where the Hess Station is.
So we may have been neighbors, as I grew up on Helderberg. If you were older you might remember that Ben and Dom used to have model car competitions at their store, too and wold give trophies for the ones voted best. They were good people....nothing like a neighborhood little grocery like that! Great memories.
JUST BECAUSE SISSY SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO...BUT HE THINKS IT DOES!!!!! JUST BECAUSE MC1 SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO!!!!!

Interesting. I honestly don't remember the model car competitions, of course there's plenty I don't remember anymore. (CRS) I graduated HS in '65, lived on the corner of Parklawn and Helderberg. We used to hang out at the little field down by the tracks. Sledding and snowballs in the winter, football in the fall. Great place to grow up.

And I graduated in '66 and you probably know me.....played drums in school and was in a rock band that did pretty well. Maybe you also remember the little CAFE ENTRE NOUS on corner of Curry and Hamburg....first place my band played....think we wre paid like $5 each and had to pay for our cokes besides.

HAHAHA!!! Well you've definitely got my mind going now. '66 means you were in the same class as my sister. Still don't have a face or name yet.
I was going to mention the Entre Nous in my original post. I think that may have come about while I was in the Army (1966-69).
Geez, I just realized you may know a real good friend of mine if you were playing in rock bands back then. He's another Mohon grad and a fantastic guitar player. I hooked up with him about 10-12 years ago and we wrote a bunch of songs.
My brother and I were part of what we liked to call "Rotterdam's only Bluegrass band" up until last year. Did that for nearly 35 years. Our banjo player suffered a stroke in '08 and last winter our bass player passed away from cancer so that's no more.

Yup, "B" and I were in class together....I lived across from you towards Mott's

HAHA! You know what's funny though, is in the late 70's we weren't getting paid much more ($15. apiece), although we were able to get free beer, and drank enough to make the pay respectable. Many years later (2005) we were fortunate enough to be able to play on Ch. 6's Melodies of Christmas, and I can guarantee you we were paid like kings.
BTW I think we've done a splendid job hijacking this thread.
I'm not as old as you "seasoned veterans", but I remember playing out at Cardinal Puffs Pub next door to the cinema on Altamont Avenue in the late 70s. Perhaps, we need to have a battle of the bands. Hell, if the Stones can still perform, we could give it a shot
Cardinal Puffs ? Cinema on Altamont ave? When was that...I don't remember any of that....where abouts on Altamont?
This was before they tore Shoparama down. There was another strip of stores where they just put Papa johns in. The cinema was at the end set back a little I think. Cardinal Puffs was in that strip. They later changed the name to Scarborough's. Not sure how long Cardinal Puff's had been there, but we started playing there in Jan. 1979. Think it was still Cardinal Puff's till at least 1984.
'79 I moved top Syr, that's why I don't remember. I remember Shoporama and the other stip mall...matter of fact I used to work at Carl Co part time Early '70's after I got discharged we played mostly frat parties Last gig we had before band broke up was a 1 mth run at Swimming Pool Casino in Saratoga springs area....not there anymore....gave up playing after that and haven't played since....one of those DUMB moments in life!!!!

joebxr - I wrote a lyric about DV on the '10 miles of road paved' thread and you have my permission to cop it but just sing it like Johnny Cash would of.
"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."
