That is right TWENTY DOLLARS: So, we have been talking about setting the record for the most tattoos done in a 24 hour period by one person, since the Miami Ink days, and FINALLY we are gonna do it, here, in Los Angeles, at my tattoo shop! I know it's short notice, but here's your chance to help me out AND be part of history! I'm gonna be tattooing for 24 HOURS STRAIGHT, and I'm aiming at doing 400 tattoos! I'm pretty sure with the help of everyone, this can be an amazing and fun success! HERE ARE THE RULES Guinness sent us: 1. Each tattoo is to measure a minimum of 1.25 x 3 inches. 2. Each tattoo must have a minimum of 2 colors. 3. The attempt must be overseen by 2 independent persons, with experience in tattoo techniques. Only tattoos satisfying these 2 judges count towards the total. 4. The event is continuos. Rest breaks may be taken at will, but THE CLOCK DOES NOT STOP. 5. The record is not limited to 1 tattoo per person. (so you can get more than 1 tattoo) 6. Theres is no restriction on the location of each tattoo. 7. The total should not include any tattoo not completed at the end of the time period. 8. All people getting tattooed must be 18 with ID. So with that in mind, I'm gonna be doing an "LA" tattoo logo that was approved by Guinness, on anyone who wants to be a part of this!! I'M INVITING ALL OF YOU WHO ARE DOWN TO GET THIS TATTOO, TO COME HELP ME SET THIS WORLD RECORD! I'm gonna be doing the tattoos for $20, just to cover costs of material, and its gonna be on a first come first serve basis! (No appointments, JUST SHOW UP!) HERE'S ALL THE SERIOUS STUFF: You gotta be 18 WITH ID to come to this event. Normally, all ages are welcome, but due to Guinness rules, no one under the age of 18 will be able to come into the shop during the event. I'm hoping a lot of people will be able to show up!! As you guys already know, I'll need at least 400! So there may be a line, but considering how small the "LA" tattoo is, (each one is estimated to only take about 2 to 3 minutes), the wait should not be long! Because I'll only have 24 hours to attempt this, it's important to fill the time slots from the hours of 3am to 10am! Im pretty sure those will be the prime hours with the less waiting time, and would TOTALLY HELP ME OUT if there's any night owls out there that are down to get tattooed at that time as well! HERE'S ALL THE INFO YOU NEED! WHEN: Friday, December 14th, 2007 Begins NOON (Sharp!) and goes straight through, FOR 24 HOURS, until NOON the next day! WHERE: High Voltage Tattoo/LA Ink 1259 N. La Brea Ave. W. Hollywood, CA 90038 Obviously, during that 24 hour period, we will be closed to regular walk ins, but will go back to our daily schedule the next day! If everything goes smoothly and I can set this record, it'll be so awesome to share this moment with the 400 of you who helped me out!! This episode will air in the second season of LA INK! PLEASE HELP GET THE WORD OUT and REPOST THIS! I LOVE YOU ALL! Kat Von D Got this and thought I would pass it on to you all. If you live near LA it would be worth the trip.JIM | ||

Kat Von D effin' rocks. If I didnt live on the other side of the country, Id be the first one in line for this. I wish her all the best in her endeavor, and as a former tattoo apprentice, I sure hope she has someone doing break downs and set ups for her. That alone would put ANY seasoned artist through the wringer. | ||

looks like a chain letter to me. got a link to a site mentioning this? | ||

This makes me wonder what the longest tattoo session is for a single person or most area tattooed covered in a single session on one person. Imagine a person with 1 or 2 artists working continuously until the tattoo-ee can no longer continue. | ||

There is nothing on the LA Ink web page about this. If it's true then cool, but to me it sounds like a total scam e-mail. The single tattoo session is 43 hours and 50 minutes according to GBWR. OUCH! | ||

Cool! So it is real. It should be interesting to see on TV. My first tattoo was supposed to be my one an only. 10X later and I am already looking for my next one. I wish I lived closer to LA. I would go stand in line. Bill | ||

That's a hell of a drive for a tattoo... She is one of the hottest women on TV... | ||

I'd hate to be the last to get a tatt. | ||
| Bill0351 |
I agree Thumper! Totally hot and a totally artistic, complicated mess! Tattooed women are the best! My ex? No ink! No personality and NO sense of adventure. Current GF? 5 tattoos and she is pretty much up for anything. | ||

Sorry guys/gals, should have posted where it came from. Josh_ got it right! | ||

Kat is like the "good light, bad light" episode of Seinfeld. See her sometimes and she is quite striking. Other times, yikes. But then, aren't we all. Wonder if she'd do 24 hours of Pegasus logos?  | ||

Wish there would've been more of a lead time- Would've bought a plane ticket. | ||

"I'd hate to be the last to get a tatt." I'd hate to be anybody getting ink in this contest. | ||

how about getting her out there to MBV to do a marathon out there. I doubt we could make it worth her time. I would be sorely tempted. |
