#critink

Okay kids. Here’s where I’m at:

1. I want to bring this party back. I loved it and my life is probably settled enough where I can dedicated an hour or so a day to a different project that’s not my job.

2. I love critink, but I want to do it better this time. More thought-out, more interactive, more of a group-project, and with less (but higher-quality) content.

3. I’m not really sure what that looks like.

So here are my questions:

1. What did you like most about critink?

2. What did you like least?

3. What would you like to see in addition to basically memes, cool pictures, a bit of history, and art critiques?

HELLO! I lt seems like I’m still getting a ton of post and reblogs. And I still have about 10k followers.

BUT I HAVEN’T POSTED IN TWO YEARS.

Tumblr, I took a two year break to build my dream job. It was worth it, but I want to come back.

Is anyone still here?

Is anyone still interested in #critink?

I’m ready to get back into the business of talking tattoos if anyone is still listening--even just a few of you--but I don’t know if after spending two full orbits around the sun building my dream job, I have the energy left to build this blog up from scratch.

What do ya’ll think?

If you submit a photo of your tattoo to me, I will critique it! I'd like to critique tattoos (similar to what Critink does) and put the skills I've learned as a studio art major to good use. I'd like to only critique user submitted tattoos though, so please send yours in!

This collaboration was done by Jeff Paetzold and Tim Pangburn back in 2007 while both gents were working at All or Nothing in Smyrna.  Jeff is back up in the Chicago area now, while Tim owns Art Machine Productions up in Philly.  This tattoo took about seven hours total, with both of them working the whole time.  I had so much fun I ended up getting another collaboration by them in 2008!
