Barred For Life: Black Flag tattoo shoot this Sunday

Local artist Stewart Dean Ebersole is working with photographer Jared Castaldi on a book called Barred for Life. It’s a collection of images of Black Flag fans’ bars tattoos, along with a history of the band’s fans and of the iconic symbol. Ebersole and Castaldi have already done shoots of ink from Philly, Lancaster, West Chester, Jersey City, New York City and Sunbury, Ohio, and will be doing a major shoot for the book this Sunday. If you have bars, head to Tattooed Mom’s on Sunday, March 15, between 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. to get your bars shot and tell your story. There’ll be a live tattoo session to boot.

Kind of sad that this is going to totally overshadow the similar event being held at Tops Bar on Saturday for people with Thin Lizzy tattoos.

Odd thing about the article, though- with the two example pages, it makes me wonder if every single Black Flag fan ends up becoming a hair stylist.
