If any artists or piercers want pictures posted on their page of the Ink Link Tattoo, Belmont Tattoo Studio, Tattooing U, or Tattoo Wearhouse web sites, please do the following;

1) Open a free account at www.photobucket.com.

2). Post any pictures they want on their page on to PhotoBucket

3) Open a free account at www.Slide.com

4) Post their pictures from PhotoBucket on to Slide. (Alternatives: Use www.PictureTrail.com, www.flickr.com, www.smilebox.com or picasa.google.com instead of Slide and Photobucket)

5) E-mail me with the code from Slide.com. Include their name, shop, and e-mail address if they have one, and I will paste it onto their page. I will cloak any e-mail addresses I post. If there is nudity or profanity in any of the pictures, THEY MUST TELL ME in their e-mail. If they do not, the Ink Link/Tattoo Wearhouse sites could be blocked by NetNanny and other parental filters. We do not want that to happen!!! If they have any nudity or profanity or add any later without notifying me first, their pictures will not be posted or will be removed from the site until Jeff says otherwise.

With PhotoBucket and Slide, the artist/piercer can add or remove any pictures they want. The code will remain the same once I paste it the first time.

www.irfanview.com has a freeware viewer called, surprisingly enough, Irfanview. It is a great program that will allow them to resize, crop, or touch up their pictures to help their page (and therefore them) to look professional.

If there are artists/piercers who can't create their own slide show, they can get their pictures to me on a CD ROM and I will scan, crop, resize, clean up, and post up to twenty photos. While things are a bit slow I will do this free of charge for any of the Ink Link/Tattooing U/Tattoo Wearhouse/Belmont Tattoo Studio tattoo artists or piercers who can not do it themselves! The Slide Shows do look better and are autonomous, so the artists can make their own changes, when they want.

E-mail me SOON if you want to take advantage of this.

I can add a link for your MySpace account on your page also if you would like.

Thanks. Please feel free to call me with any questions. (864) 381-8750.

Also, please keep me updated on any changes, including personnel at your shop, so I can try to keep the web sites updated.

I am trying to update the 3D caricatures on the shop web sites. If you don't have one, or yours needs updating (longer hair, weight gain/loss, facial hair) please send me recent pictures of you, preferably good head shots, one smiling, one not, and a full body shot where I can see your ink, clothing, and shoes. There is no cost for the artists or piercers for this, but I am not doing apprentices.

   

    

         

These are the best poses for a good caricature. Notice on the full body shots they include clothing, shoes, and one with the
insides of the forearms showing and one with the outsides. This only matters if you have tattoos there and want there to be a general idea of what they are on the caricatures. The pictures need to be large, well lit, and clear. Side profile shots are also very helpful! Please include your eye color if it is not evident in the photos!

Also if anyone is missing a photo (or needs them updated) or profile page on their shop's page, please send me those and their information.
