Bob Vessells - Funny Farm Tattoo

I started getting tattoos in 1993 at Purple Panther my first tattoo was done by Kore Flatmo. As I continued to return to purple panther to get more tattoos I was getting tattooed by other artist there Mark Paramore, Tony and then I met Bob Vessells at Purple Panther Tattoo in 1994. I watched Bob tattoo many clients and was amazed at the detail he was producing in the skin. I wanted a statue of liberty crumbling so I brought the idea to him and this is what he did in December of 1994 and It is still amazing.



Bob did this heart tattoo for me about a week before he started the cross tattoo on my friends back. Bob's style is so distinctive, this was done just to fill in a small spot near my wrist. I was so impressed that I want to get another one similar but much bigger somewhere maybe on my hand, my leg or chest.








This is Bob Vessells Funny Farm Tattoo Shop at 4651 Melbourne Ave Hollywood, CA. it has been repainted since these pictures were taken many years ago. Bob is one of my favorite artist out there as a matter of fact in the last 14 years I have only been tattooed by Bob Vessells and Kore Flatmo. If you have the chance pay him a visit at his shop you wont be disappointed he is an interesting person. If you want to check him out on the web here you go. http://www.myspace.com/funnyfarmtattoos or http://www.bobvessellstattoo.com/









A friend of mine said to me that he wanted a cross on his entire back and where did I think he should get it done. The first thought in my head was Bob. He was doing his research on the web and magazines and I said well Bob's shop is close let take a ride so you can meet him and see what you think.

This would be the first time in 5 years that I would visit Bob. So we arrived and parked down the street as we walked towards the shop I could see Bob outside and was walking towards us but we were far away. He turned in the parking lot and continued to walk away we proceeded to the shop to see a post it stating be back at 3:30 signed Bob with a heart. We laughed it was only 3:05 so we waited around outside his shop. Just a little after 3:30 he was walking back to the shop and from where we were standing it was hard to tell but he had his hand in an odd position as we got closer it was because he had a fake monster hand (glove) on LOL. This pic is represenative not the exact style glove he was wearing.



We went in the shop he didn't recognize me at first but when we talked he remembered me sure enough. We bullshitted for a few minutes before talking business. This is a must when working with Bob he dosent want to talk shop all the time he wants to know what your about.

So my friend told him what he was looking for and he started to schetch it out, it took a couple of trys before Bobs vision was what my friend was looking for. Here's a couple of pics.









I hope to get more work from Bob in the near future some demon or devil girls. He is amazing. Here are a couple more examples of his work that you can find on his website or myspace page.

Killer Tattoos and Killer Bass Playing


"This state is elevating, as the hurt turns into hating Anticipating all the fucked up feelings again "
Fieldy from Korn is one of my favorite bass players.
This guy has some serious art on his skin. Mostly Black and Grey alot of art work consisting of Korn album themes nicely done. In this video he is getting his arm pit tattooed "ouch".

He is bad ass: sleeves, legs, chest, back and neck tattoos.

Check out his music if your not familiar.

Korn - Untouchables
Here to Stay is an great example of that heavy 5 string bass that pounds right through you.


Fieldy's Dream - Rock and Roll Gangster

Hip-Hop, Rock Fieldy Raps about weed, women and sex, its not a serious record but I enjoyed it. Looking forward to his next solo project tentatively titled "Fieldy's Nightmare" which is supposed to be more serious and darker.

Introduction


This Blog is about Tattoos, Music, Cars and anything else I feel like writing about.


Favorite Tattoo Artist's:

Kore Flatmo - One of the best artist out there check his website and judge for yourself.

Bob Vessells - Another very talented artist, excellent line work no one better for demon girls.

Cory Miller - Amazing portraits, Black n Grey get in with him if you can. Also see him on LA INK

Favorite Classic Cars:

1968 Chevelle

1970 Barracuda

Favorite: Music:

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magic one of the greatest albums ever made. John Frusciante is pure genius feeling more in his own space. Anthony's gripping story converted into a song called Under the Bridge. Flea and Chad greatest rhythm section in modern rock.

John Frusciante - Amazing guitar playing and a vocal range that will blow you away. Check out any of his solo records you wont be disappointed.

Korn - Pure energy the hardest rocking band today. See them live if you can get in the pit and you will leave that show feeling like you have been in a car wreck.

Bob Marley - So many great songs most people will never hear. Reggae is not one of the most popular genres of music. So most people will only hear whats know as Legends. Please visit Marley Rarities to hear beautiful acoustic versions of rare and unrealesed Bob Marley songs.

Stevie Ray Vaughan - Blues (Texas Blues) was something I overlooked for to many years. Again it is because it is not a popular genre. After getting into SRV I felt like i lost 20 years of my life. Because I should have been listening to him since around 1989 when In Step was released. Great Blues Rock album. Stevie Ray Vaughan made an impact on music with his incredible guitar riffs and his love for playing the guitar.
