Orăștie Is a Paradise

[wearebeasttv]

Doug Walker of Beast SF recently released another chapter in The Lost and Found Collection's story set.

From Walker:

I met David Kalani last October at his in-laws house across the street from Pipeline. We walked the property of parked cars while the Pipemasters Event was taking place until we found a spot where he wanted to talk.

His voice was calm and soft as he spoke about his brothers and childhood, sharing the memories as one does. When he shared with me that he was sick, I was not ready for it, but he wanted to tell his story as he has found peace in life and was prepared for his journey.

On Saturday, July 26, I was notified that he was in the hospital and felt I had to sit down and edit his story. This is DAVID KALANI FOSTER

The Story of Colorado’s DIY Skater Tattoo Parlor

No Class is a DIY tattoo parlor run by skater Jesse Brocato from his living room in Fairplay, Colorado. Every tattoo from No Class is free, provided you’re at least halfway tanked when you start laying the ink on yourself. Which I think explains why the place is starting to pick up some steam among the skating community. On a recent skate trip to Colorado, I visited No Class and had a chat with Brocato.

VICE: How did you guys get started? Jesse Brocato: It all started one night when we found out that our friend Shane had a tattoo gun. We told him to bring it over, and he thought he was going to tattoo us, but we were like, “Fuck, give us that,” and we started tattooing ourselves.

That night I fell in love. I was like, “I’m never paying for a tattoo again.” Everyone pays thousands of bucks to get these fancy tattoos. The idea behind No Class is, why would you want a fancy tattoo when you could have a shitty ghetto tattoo?

And it took off from there? Well, I used to make moonshine, so we’d get drunk on moonshine and then just start tattooing ourselves. Then we started buying more equipment online. Now we have three set-ups. People see our work, and they want a shitty tattoo too. I tell them they have to do it themselves. That’s what No Class is all about. Is it hard to get the hang of it? It took us a little while. In the beginning, we’d have the needle set way too far out, like a quarter inch, and I was going so deep it stopped the machine like a lawnmower in thick grass. It just destroyed the bone and took forever to heal. You start digging and it ends up looking like hamburger meat. You lay in all that ink, and then it heals up scarred and white.

Anything else you had to learn? Pick the cat hair off the needle. Does that “sterilize” it? I mean, maybe I would have to read a little on bacteria and all that, but whatever, what we do is just hook it up and do it. We don’t share needles or anything like that. I mean, it’s happened, but you really shouldn’t do that. You think you’re clean, but you never know what you have. Somebody that actually tattoos would probably freak out if they came up here, but that’s part of it, part of the “fuck it” attitude of No Class. None of us has swelled up yet.
