Jean-Francois Laverdiere of Inked Nation. recently sat down with the artist at his private studio in Ohio.
Inked Nation: What are your thoughts of the influence of reality TV shows and the Internet on the tattoo industry?
Durb Morrison: I think that the Internet and TV shows have done great for tattooing! At first, when I was watching "Miami Ink" and they showed someone spell something wrong, I was like...
Durb is awesome!!!! I've been seeing him at tattoo conventions and concerts for many years. His dedication to the tattoo and music communities never ceases to amaze me. I fone ever gets the opportunity to get ink done by him, I recommend taking it, you won't regret it.
The SuicideGirls are pretty heavily tattooed. Do you have a favorite Suicide Girl?
DM:
Well, since my wife, Alissa of PidgeonPose.com is the Midwest staff photographer for SuicideGirls, I'm constantly around the hot ladies of SG. It's hard to say which is my favorite one, they are all damn hot!! The Suicide Girls are the official trophy girls of The Hell City Tattoo Festival each year, bringing tons of the girls together for the weekend of the fest. They really make those trophies worth fighting for!! So, if I had to say my favorite would be Bully and Sunshine, they are also good friends!
Awesome Awesome article!! We love you Durb AND Alissa!

DUrb rocks! I love my tree and I don't plan on getting another tattoo from anyone besides durb.
I really wish I had been able to go to Hell city this year. It is not something to be missed.
