Bill Baker interview on Swallows & Daggers

Bill opened the first shop I ever worked at and I was lucky enough (although I didn’t think so at the time) to learn the fundamentals of tattooing by doing his flash over and over for the years I was at Tat-A-Rama. Although I’ve only met him fairly recently, he has played a significant role in my tattooing career from it’s beginning and I’m glad he’s finally done an interview worth reading.

Incommunicado?

Have you been trying to get in touch with me via this website? If I haven’t been responding to your email theres a good chance its because the quick “contact me” form email plug-in I had been using was broken. Now that I think of it I never once got an email from it, so I think its been broken since day one (January 2010). I would like to offer my most sincere apologies to anyone who felt snubbed. I’ve since uninstalled that stupid thing, so now you can just get a hold of me directly at hollingdrake@mac.com. Once again, I apologize, technology is a bitch sometimes, eh?

I did these at the Maritime tattoo convention in Halifax this year. Next year I may spend the May two-four weekend somewhere warmer and visit the Maritimes in July instead.

Maritime Tattoo Feastival 2013

I’ll be returning to the Halifax tattoo convention this year with “Handsome” Mike Bialek, Don “Juan” Ritson, and “Naughty” Nick Wasco. I’ll have shirts and some assorted Okey Doke merch and lots of time open so lets get it on.

I asked biker Jesus how much he loved me and he spread out his arms like this, and then he crashed.
