For those trying to tell me about the other narrative. It’s very clear that Daniel manipulated the events to his lawyer and Corey’s family to make it look like an accident to be let off lightly. Here’s a video from one of Corey’s friend talking about the night - he was there - and the impact it’s had on him. ruclips.net/video/xOF2FSTfgGE/видео.htmlsi=Lp2lvPvaI9dbGgSy Drink driving is never ever excusable and shame on anyone who is saying what happened was just an accident. When you get behind the wheel of the car after drinking- a car that Daniel had said he couldn’t control anyway - you are knowingly putting people in danger. End of.
I do agree with a lot of what you're saying Treacle, I don't condone any of this at all, but at the same time I don't particularly agree with how this video came across in regards to attitudes to ex-convicts. This isn't even about Daniel Silva for me, this is just about the fact that I think the opinions we publicize can accidentaly be so all-encompassing that even if this shame was just reserved and directed only for Daniel Silva in this video, it still ends up affecting people's perceptions of ex-convicts as a whole (and also makes any ex-convict viewers themselves feel a lot of shame). Even if people can't agree that Daniel Silva did his time and he reintegrated into society, I feel like you've unintentionally put forward a lot of shame and judgement towards ex-convicts as a whole and possibly some who might be watching you. I can already see there's a lot of comments who share similar sentiments to me. I just hope you understand why some people might feel like you're all brushing them with the same stroke, even though this video is supposed to just be particular about Daniel Silva. There's other commentors who are sadly perpetuating harmful ideas in which they think ex-convicts shouldn't be allowed to live a normal life, to come back to society and not feel punished for the rest of their lives. There's already a huge shame-culture surrounding ex-convicts and that often leads them to going back to prison, not being able to reform or develop a substantial life outside of prison because they can't get employed or live it due to people's attitudes towards them. I don't think it hurts for me to ask, but maybe you could make it a clear statement on what your opinions are about that (not in relation to Daniel) but to ex-convicts as a whole? I don't want to censor you, step on your toes or make you do things you don't want to do but I feel like this is where a lot of the upset is coming from. Some of your audience will be addicts, ex-convicts, or related to ex-convicts who may be feeling scared/attacked in what is supposed to be a safe place (your channel). Some of the tattoo industry is also made up of ex-convicts who are just pursuing a passion and trying to get back into living life again. I just don't want this video to end up being a source or fuelling of people's judgement towards other ex-convicts (doesn't have to be about Daniel). I'd just like to know where you stand on all that, more than anything and if this is still a safe space for others x
@@Doll.autopsyit all depends on context. Drink drivers, sex offenders, murderers (unless it’s self defence or genuine accident - no alcohol involved ) to me are the lowest of the low. Anything else I 100% believe deserve a second chance after time served.
@@treacletatts Thank you for taking time to respond and make your stance clear. I also agree with your distinction as well. Clear line between those who are a threat to society vs those who are not sort of thing.
Thank you Treacle for bringing this to the attention of many (including myself) who thought the whole story was not being told in your video. I also want to highlight that the whole story on this incident in particular is not easy to come by if you do not follow those involved. If you google “Daniel Silva car crash” the first article you see is one based on the initial police report. If you try to dive deeper you see that Daniel claimed he was not drunk and that the crash forensics investigation supports this. However, I did not think to dive deeper because after the official report was released and Corey’s family wrote the letter in support of Daniel’s sentence being reduced I thought the matter was closed. Oscar’s video however adds even more context, especially with respect to the claims made in court and how witnesses’s accounts disagreed with these claims despite not being enough to officially dispute them. Additionally, it was really important to me to know Oscar released his video with the support of Corey’s family behind him. However, where I still disagree with your take Treacle is that I would not put those who drove drunk on the same level as sex offenders - especially if no one was hurt during the time they did drive recklessly. Because INTENT matters. If you commit any form of sexual assault there is a baseline of premeditation woven within that crime. If you drive drunk and someone dies as a result of your actions you are 100% guilty, but do I think your actions which I think many can admit many ordinary people under the influence are capable of doing (it’s just that often times everyone is lucky enough the driver was stopped before such a tragedy occurred), should be weighted as equally as heinous as a sexual predator’s? No, I do not. They are not the same and that is why there are levels of degrees of severity regarding charges like murder - voluntary manslaughter is not the same as murder in the first or second degree. If that is not what you were saying and I misinterpreted your stance on the matter please let me know, I do not want to put words in anyone’s mouth.
Why are we making excuses for people that CHOOSE to drive intoxicated? It’s a selfish decision. You know better but rather than get a ride or walk home you choose to put yourself behind the wheel of a few hundred ton vehicle. My brother was killed because of someone else’s reckless and selfish decision. And that incident absolutely showed the person’s character. It’s not just an “accident”.
I'd be pissed if an artist sent me AI images as a draft. I see no problem with clients bringing them in as inspo/examples, but paying for original art means paying for original art by that artist, not an AI.
As a tattoo artist being able to draw helps you successfully shade/color tattoos. Tattooing is more than drawing though. It’s incredibly technical and the application itself is equally if not more important than the design. Many tattooist can’t draw (I know many) their technical application skills are unmatched though.
@@thomasdatoneboi405 I brought in a jpeg and told the artist that he could change it up if he wanted too. He just made the shading a bit heavier but had zero problem with me bringing it in. 🤷🏼♀️
From the perspective of an artist: AI does NOT create art. It takes images, references, art created by real people, and creates an image. Not art. Never call it art. It's not art. There is no soul in that.
Thank you. Any self-respecting artist would never. Could never. ai can be useful and done ethically but it seems like that's the outlier rather than the norm. It's great with helping, but people aren't even generating their own prompts anymore. I remember this book I read a long time ago where drawing or "manual art" wasn't practiced anymore. Only a handful of people left and hid in the mountains where they were essentially fighting against invasive technology. It feels oddly similar. also, if anyone remembers that book, please lmk. I think there were digital but permanent tattoos in the book.
More specifically it data scrapes, it is a massive privacy issue. But yes, I’m in agreement, it absolutely is not art. It’s massive theft. I’m speaking from the perspective as a professional designer and have had my work fed to the machine. And as to date, there is no AI program that is operating ethically.
Idk, from a perspective of a graphic designer- I’m in school and we’ve been learning about AI because it’s soooo new. My teachers are in the industry and have a massive background in GD for a very long time -and talented May I add- and they have good arguments as to why it IS art.
I honestly don’t think Ethan knew. He currently has so much going on with work, kids, Hila being pregnant, shredder passing away, and getting conned by a tattoo artist! I think Ethan was desperate and just looked at his tattooing skills and nothing else.
I agree. This is the most charitable thought, and you’d be surprised how sought after he still is in LA/west coast 😩 I’m sure even if he did ask around he’d hear how good his work is and not thinking if this artist has been in a mainstream crime/controversy. I really can’t imagine Ethan being told this and saying he doesn’t care and going through with it anyhow.
yeah its not our job to do criminal background checks whenever someone provided a service. Imagine if people held you responsible because you went and got a haircut and "didn't do your research" because the hairdresser/barber did something in the past.
Hey, Lauren! I’m a primary care doctor and thanks to you and your channel, I learned about RCPD. And recently I had a patient with complaints consistent with RCPD for the first time since learning about it. They are going to consider going to a specialist. Thanks for sharing your experience and I’m hoping to be able to educate more people in the future about it.
Ah this is amazing!!! You have no idea how happy that makes me 🥹 so many people with rcpd get diagnosed with IBS or GERD and go through years of tests for nothing to show up so you’ve probably just saved this person from this and sending them in the right direction!! Massive respect to You ❤️
Very cool! I hadn't heard of RCPD before so just looked it up and one of the first hits was from a medical journal article published this year stating that there's been "a recent increase in awareness through patient-led social media discussion boards" so kudos to Lauren and everyone else getting the word out. ❤
I was laughing the entire episode, but I know how important the tattoo is to Ethan. He was genuinely upset about the AI, you can kinda see it in his face. I′m not gonna lie, though, the words “human shoulders” have made me randomly giggle throughout the day.
On the first [AI] tattoo guy, I died when Ethan said of the weird portrait mock-ups, "Why is [my dog] wearing a top hat?! Is he going to his own funeral?" Aw! At least he could still have a chuckle. Poor pupper, and poor Ethan. He clearly loved lil Shredder. (And he has kids, right? Aw surely they're little, but I bet they were sad! ;_;)
This point exactly! I got my first tattoo last year and I didn’t know anything about the healing process. Thankfully my artist walked me through the process and got me to at least know what to do and what to look out for. Can’t say the same about the tattoo I just got at the same place. Artist (shop owner too) didn’t even put saniderm on my tattoo because she thought it wasn’t necessary. Fair to say I won’t be going back there anymore 😬
I saw this. I would be pretty disgusted if an artist sent me AI images. It's actually a little depressing to think a so-called artist would do that. BUT WOAH, what a twist with the second tattoo artist. At least the memorial tattoo turned out beautiful. Realistically there's no way Ethan knew, and honestly I wish people would not make too big of a deal about it. It's a terrible thing that this artist has done, but I think people should be able to work after doing their time in prison anyhow.
I agree. He did something horrible but he served his time. He should be allowed to work. We shouldn't continue to punish people after they get out of prison.
He didn't intentionally murder La Barrie. They were *both* drunk that night. Silva chose to drive, but *Corey chose to get into the car* with him. Is drinking and driving a horrible offense? 100% and killing someone while doing it is deplorable. He was responsible for his friend's death. He'll have to live with that for the rest of his life. I mean, I guess we should've just given him automatic death penalty instead of manslaughter (a charge which La Barrie's family themselves asked the court to lessen from 2nd degree murder) if the internet was the judge.
And *how* could Ethan *not know?* It was huge news when it happened, and if you Google him now, it comes up. Ethan doesn't exactly live under a rock. It's straight goofy to assume he didn't know instead of thinking maybe he chose an artist for his art and not a mistake he made 3 years ago. Just let the man have his tattoo of his lovely dog in peace. Hate Silva if you like, but it's almost like y'all just *need* to create drama. Oh right, the internet.
@phill_larrup I agree that the justice system is unfair, and there's no justification for the choices he made - but manslaughter is not the same as murder. I'm not sure what the fair time would be because that's ultimately subjective, but a killing that lacks intentionality is legally and morally distinct from murder and should not incur the same severity of penalty.
This may be an unpopular opinion seeing the tone of the video but once you complete your sentence and get out of prison, I don't think it is controversial to continue your (unrelated) job and for people to give you custom. We can have a long discussion here about reintegration of prisoners, and shunning excons for life is not the answer.
yeah people are so against reintegrating prisoners back in society. I get people on the right having that standpoint, its just part of their hateful ideology, but its sad seeing people on the left advocate for things the abolition of the death penatly and getting rid of private prisons, and the move for prisons to be a place of reform and not punishment, but then anyone who served there time must be "cancelled". So you don't want them dead and you don't want them being treated poorly while serving time, but when they get out they better be homeless or completely out of sight out of mind? How is that productive and humane at all?
@@ZectifinDepends on the prisoner. Someone that only served 2 years for a murder and clearly shows no remorse is not someone I’m going to welcome back into society with open arms. You can’t pretend that all ex-cons are suddenly upstanding citizens after doing their time. I’m all for easier access to jobs etc., but your crime doesn’t disappear when you walk out of prison. You have to earn back trust.
I’m also reading that he was not above the legal limit when his BAC was taken so he wasn’t even charged with drunk driving. Given it could’ve dropped a little bit from the time he crashed to when he was tested, but he clearly wasn’t plastered when the crash happened.
I wouldn't trust an artist who uses AI to create designs to actually be able to tattoo that design. Like there is no way it will be in your style or use your talent
I honestly have mixed feelings about your opinion on the second artist. Like, yeah, drunk driving leading to manslaughter is awful, and the fault is wholly his own. How would you bring that up while in the process of securing a client? When would be the appropriate time to "heal" from that, to move on from something awful that you had done? I don't know. It's not an easy subject to navigate.
Deeper into the video now. Definitely agree it's a strange thing to navigate but also I can't blame her for wanting him to be open somehow (idk how) about what he did. Idk, I just can't imagine learning my tattoo artist was a murderer after a tattoo is done
I think she’s more referring to her opinion of the kind of person he is based on his behavior afterwards, not her being upset that he wasn’t disclosing his conviction to clients. For some of the things he could do to atone, I actually appreciate how clearly she laid out ways he could still tattoo and show his remorse (Advocacy by speaking about it, he’s a public figure and his story might be an important cautionary tale to his fan base, doing charity tattoo events or fundraisers, she had some excellent ideas that were not gimmicky and could do some good) It’s the fact that he got basically a slap on the wrist and it seems like he wants to erase it from his story. The skeleton in the closet method can read like not really admitting fault, taking accountability, or realizing the gravity of your actions. His victim’s family can see him out there, living his best life on social media… while they celebrate every Christmas and birthday without a loved one who had so much life to live.
I agree. I am a tattoo artist that has personal trauma, personal failings and feelings and I don't share everything that is going on in my private life with my clients. I also think there is a reason people get to have a second chance after they do shit like this and we should be humble enough to not scream at them for not wanting to make their own worst mistakes part of their work life.
I love you Treacle and I am no fan of Daniel Silva, but to be clear Daniel’s sentence was lessened from murder to manslaughter because of his claim that he did not in fact try to flee the scene and was disoriented after the crash. Corey’s family accepted this explanation and wrote a letter to the judge asking to reduce the charge’s severity. EDIT: I was reminded by another commenter, that Daniel was never served with DUI charges because he was not over the legal limit. After the crash forensics investigation was completed, it was revealed that Daniel was driving no more than 10 miles above the speed limit, and that that stretch of road was just particularly treacherous (crashes were very frequent there). Daniel being unfamiliar with this lost control of the vehicle at some point ultimately leading to the crash. This revelation is ultimately what led Corey’s family to write that letter to the judge.
@laurahoughton5911 That is not my point. What I’m saying is that Corey’s family collectively worked to reduce his sentence in an act of closure and forgiveness. The people whose feelings should matter above anyone else’s have spoken on the matter with their actions. More has happened than was touched upon in this video. And I think that is worth mentioning - especially if one is getting angry on behalf of the people who actually experienced this loss.
@@karajara9627 the loss happened to be his friend, but it could have been anyone. It could have been multiple people. Drink driving is monumentally stupid, and it endangers everyone. I'm glad that the family of the deceased have found closure, but I don't think someone who has driven drunk and killed someone should ever be promoted by someone with as much influence as Ethan Klein, because I don't think he should be in a position where he's able to be an influencer, and being promoted by Ethan Klein is going to boost his following and his reach. I'm not saying he shouldn't ever tattoo again, but there's a world of difference between quietly going back to your job as a tattoo artist and jumping back on social media and promoting yourself as a celebrity tattoo artist and continuing to try and accrue a huge following.
@@laurahoughton5911 Though I agree with your assessment on whether Daniel should get to benefit from Ethan’s influence, that is not the point I am making. What I am saying is that many assumptions have been used to justify whether or not Daniel is deserving of moving on following the same successful trajectory he was on before this tragedy. People assume he is not remorseful (not now nor at the scene of the crime) or that he hasn’t done anything in terms of advocacy. If it was public knowledge that he did donate a large sum or start a charity he would still be receiving some sort of notoriety regardless. Also where would you have him publicly express this remorse? On Instagram? His most followed platform that he has always used for SELF-promotion? At the very least many would view that in poor taste. People also assume he legally has the option of posting about Corey. His family may have a no contact order in place with specific stipulations. The fact is there is no obvious answer on what he should do. And no way of ever confirming most of these assumptions. Should his Instagram that he had spent years cultivating just be flushed down the toilet and he should just fade away into obscurity? How does anybody expect him to be able to make meaningful contributions without meaningful sums of money? Again, my point is there is nuance to this, and the fact of the matter is Daniel as the drunk driver surviving a crash when his friend in the passenger seat dies on impact is an all too familiar story in the US. Also the comment implying that anyone who is responsible for drunk driving related deaths should be looked at as if multiple deaths COULD have occurred is not a productive argument in terms of addressing what can still be done after a tragedy has occurred. From that prospective, that person is no longer a driver that is responsible for his friend’s death but is instead a potential multiple murderer. DUIs and DUI related deaths are so unfortunately common place. You cannot say everyone guilty of this type of crime can never and should never be as successful as they once were and they need to wallow in obscurity their entire life (especially if they make their living by being on a public platform) - this is pretty much assuring another preventable death takes place.
The opinions stated regarding the tattoo artist are incredibly loaded. Yes, he is responsible for getting in the car. He WAS punished. It's truly sad that there are people who believe that people should continuously be punished rather than given an opportunity to grow and reform. In regards to Daniel's apology video, it didn't come off as cold. It looked like someone struggling to cope with what happened due to THEIR choices. It looked like someone trying to hold it together. Would it have been better if he recorded himself sobbing? Or would that have looked like he was just milking the situation? Everyone proceeds and mourns in their own ways and I don’t think it's fair to assume he is not grieving just because he doesn't cry on camera or post about his friend. Would it be seen as disingenuous if he posted about charity work? Maybe he donated/paid for his friend's funeral. Again, would it be disingenuous if he posted about it? I think Daniel's statement of wanting to be an advocate was a fair statement. He didn't play down the situation, he owned it and said that he wants to encourage people to not make the same choice he did. I feel that's a beautiful way to honor someone. Say for example, someone's gun accidentally went off and killed someone so they decide to advocate for gun safety. Would that be wrong? Would they have "the audacity?" How else should they respond? End point. Daniel WAS punished and I'm sure he lives everyday with the pain of his decision. I don't think it's fair to exile him from society and strip him of his right to grow and reform. Prison, like someone else mentioned, is about reform not punishment.
I absolutely agree. He made a very tragic mistake. I truly hope he learns and grows. No matter what, he will still have to live with it every day of his life.
Agree on this. We don’t know all he is doing or has done as well as all the internal struggles. There really is no winning when you’re a person at the mercy of social media.
He didn't do more than two months in prison. He didn't face punishment. Let's not pretend this man served real time for killing someone. He got a slap on the wrist.
Agreed- sometimes I wonder when people so vehemently hold opinions on people involved in terrible situations like this a) do they know the persons character, what has he been like the other million days of his life aside from this 1 horrific night? and b) have they ever been involved in a similar situation- because I have. I am a member of the HUGE community of recovering drug addicts in the world today, and let me tell ya- I love Treacle's videos but I would bet money after watching this she has not struggled with alcohol or drug addiction. Not saying this about Silva I don't know his story or if he's struggled, but I do know there are LAYERS to situations like these and being in the Recovery community, I have heard countless stories adjacent to this one, and yes he will live with it every day of his life- every. day. Maybe he feels he has no right to be posting his friend up on Instagram in a memorial, I simply feel I do not have enough information to be making as strong a stand as was made in this particular video. We DO Recover!!!
I really think he should have seen more jail time. And its my personal opinion that ANYONE who is caught driving under the influence should have their license suspended for a very significant amount of time regardless of whether or not they got in an accident. In this kind of situation where they killed someone, I think they should never drive again. However, I do see where you're coming from (even if I don't wholly agree). I still think he's a jackass though. Ultimately, we don't know what he has done to atone and frankly its not our business. Its his and, more importantly, his victims surviving family. I do (respectfully) disagree with Treacles opinion that he should have Corrie present in some way on his media. That kind of thing usually strikes me as pretty gross, especially if you can't trust that its coming from a place of authenticity; if I was his family member I would feel nothing but rage. So I'm actually glad Corrie isn't being used in that way. Like a prop or a martyr or something, a tool to be used for public self flagellation. Its bad enough he made an assumption on what Corrie would want him to do
He is right theres about 50 ways to heal a tattoo. Ive used aquaphor and tattoo balms and lotion everyone is different. I have also had mixed aftercare instructions or none at all with about 90% of my tattoos.
Lubriderm unscented lotion all the way. Hot water. That's all the aftercare should be. Once it's drying out and flakey you just use a small amount. The tattoo balms are a scam. A dermatologist would tell anyone that.
@@annanimity2034unscented lubriderm to moisturize and gold antibacterial dial soap to clean it!! That’s what I was told for tat one and that’s what I’ll use til I die 😂
And the fact that he tried to flee the scene too. Accidents happen but from what all of Corey's friends said it sounded like he made bad decision after bad decision and I'm kinda sad he still has a career.
@@artisticalex1206when you receive a dui in the state of California you are acknowledging getting behind the wheel of a vehicle while intoxicated poses a huge risk to anyone involved. Thats why he was originally tried with murder he was let off with manslaughter due to pleading no contest. So yes, it is considered murder he was given a reduced charge due to cooperation and assistance from the victims family. He IS in fact a murderer
I often forget that most people don't spend months and months researching tattoos, tattoo etiquette and tattoo aftercare before going to get their first tattoo lol. And then more time finding a good local artist whose work I like. I guess I have my autism and tendency to hyperfixate on things to thank 😅
i have ADHD and i’m the same way 🥲 i know a lot of folks still associate ADHD with stuff like inability to focus, distractibility, etc. only and it’s kinda funny, bc when i hyperfocus, i HYPERFOCUS. 😅
I dry healed my first tattoo and it healed beautifully. Then I used aquaphor on my second tattoo and it healed beautifully. I think all bodies are different though and even though those both worked great for me they might not work well for others.
I do love your work man, But I am kind of with the others here. as someone who suffered at the hands of an alcoholic abuser, who did nearly kill me in a drunk driving accident... I still don't think David deserves to never tattoo or work again. he did the time, and maybe yes, the time was not sufficient but even he could not control that. But he still did it, he still got sober, and he hasn't offended again. and yes, he doesn't talk about Cody now, but I think it would be more disrespectful if he turned the man into a social media spectacle even if it was for fundraising like you suggested. and what is David supposed to do now? never work ever again? Like, customers are allowed to not work with him if it makes them feel bad but shaming him for having a job after going to prison is unproductive for any person incarcerated. I get this is from a place of being empathetic towards Cody and his family, but shaming David when he already has the burden of guilt for the rest of his life just does not help. We need to be empathetic to people in the prison system too.
This is really well-said. I know that a general sense of apathy towards people with a criminal record is sort of the "norm", but hearing Lauren talk about it like this still made me really sad. David will have to live with Corey's death the rest of his life; it felt very cruel to claim he doesn't care because of a lack of social media posts. The fact he has a career is something that a lot of people with similar records aren't able to obtain, which is a huge factor in recidivism rates.
Honestly feel very conflicted about Daniel, I can totally understand your perspective that he shouldn't be able to just sweep it under the rug, but I also dont think one action should define his entire life. (Do I think he should have got more time? Absolutely, but he has his record and that will follow him) If he was already tattooing celebs before the accident then realistically he isnt going to just throw his livelihood away, yes he killed someone but he has to go on living. I also dont think his tattoo profile is an appropriate place to constantly mention Corey. Not to mention he also lost his friend, and probably feels immense shame for his actions, bringing that up constantly for other people's validation isnt a realistic ask, especially when half those people will call it performative. Him constantly mentioning it isnt going to undo what he did and honestly could just have a terrible effect on his mental health. To me, his apology honestly didn't come off as cold, just closed off, and again, with the public backlash he'd be getting, he is within his rights to protect himself because ultimately he has to keep living. (That might be overly sympathetic of me but I dont believe one action defines a whole person's character, and we can't know what goes on inside his mind. DUI is never acceptable, but he could well have died that night too so I can see him being more grateful for life in hindsight, and Corey also made the decision to get in the car too. It's an incredibly sad situation and its difficult to navigate.) At the end of the day its up to his customers to decide if they want to get tattooed by him and do their research, I dont realistically expect any tattoo artist to offer up all their convictions on their profile, no matter how severe.
This is really well said. I just wish the people that were around them that night had had enough wherewithal to not let Daniel drive drunk (ie take his keys) or at the very least had made sure Corey didn’t get in that car with him. I feel like I have experienced enough drunk driving related tragedy in my life (I lost 4 high school classmates in a span of 3 months my senior year) to just assume passengers are at higher risks of dying than the drunk drivers themselves.
yeah its really weird that a lot of people want the death penalty gone and prisons to be a place of reform and reintegration back into society instead of a place of punishment, but when that actually happens to someone they are mad if they ever see them mentioned working in normal society. So they can't be dead or mistreated by the state but once they are out we as a society need to make sure they are homeless?
@@Zectifin very true. If incarceration can truly act as it’s supposed to for many people (ie a punitive action that allows for reflection and reformation), why are so many also in support of this effective social incarceration that you mentioned? It prevents these individuals from fully applying and integrating what they gained from their time in jail. Additionally, I think this mindset plays a role in explaining the high recidivism rates observed in the US.
@dd4850 Sure, he is definitely responsible for his actions that led to his friend's death, but intention and circumstances still play a role. It does make a huge difference if someone is so reckless and stupid that his friend ends up dead, or if he sets out to kill someone intentionally. He was convicted after all and did his time, so in my opinion the best he can do is to make sure to never endanger other people again and be a productive member of society.
It's always weird for me as a child of an ex-con to see how other people go about speaking about ex-cons. Prison is about reform. He went to jail. It's sad that someone died but he doesn't have to make what was likely the worst day of his life his whole life. What people would and wouldn't do doesn't matter to something that happened and can't be undone so what is the controversy because when someone makes their whole thing about making amends that can be triggering to victims families too so what do you all truly want?
Thank you for speaking about your personal experience and advocating for less shame oriented at ex-convicts. Once time is served, that is it that, and the opportunity to be allowed to re-integrate back into life. The shame cycle from the public towards ex-convicts is what keeps ex-convicts coming back to prison, being in crime, to not being able to reform or develop a substantial life outside of prison. Daniel of course, comes from a place of privilege and fame so he is in a different boat but I think the opinions we publicize is so all-encompassing that even if this shame was just reserved only for Daniel Silva, it still ends up affecting people's perceptions of ex-convicts as a whole (and also makes any ex-convict viewers themselves feel shame). People seem to have a lot of trouble accepting that two truths can exist at the same time: Someone committed a crime, but they can also be allowed to reintegrate, back into society, reform and work again if they've done their time. To a lot of people they feel like ex-convicts deserve a lifetime of punishment and cannot be given the opportunity to come back to society and be a better person.
I’m a huge fan of Lauren, I’ve watched the channel for years. I still will, I love your content. But I don’t know how I feel about this video tbh. As others have said I do think the issue with the tattooist comes over a bit holier than thou. People can and do make catastrophic, life ruining decisions, without intention. It does seem that addiction was a factor in this, and it does seem he’s paid some level of price for what happened, even though it may not be enough. I think using inflammatory language like “murderer” isn’t helpful here when you also say yourself it was an accident. I was once an addict and, shock, I found it surprisingly easy to fall afoul of the law even though I had the best intentions in life. (No one was harmed or anything)I hope all the judgemental people never have to find out first hand just how easy it can be to make a big mistake in life and regret it forever. As external people, we will actually never know how the artist feels about what happened, but I think it’s not reasonable to assume he simply doesn’t care about his victim and their family. Similar with Taylor from the other video, we will never really know what she’s been though and I wonder is this intrusive lens helping anyone? Equally, I don’t know what it will bring to Ethan/ H3 other than stress, worry, and regret. He can’t exactly remove his tattoo now, and what do we want from him? An apology? For what? I just think the channel has started to get involved in some really dark topics lately and I worry that it won’t come across well, when Lauren you are genuinely one of the few well meaning creators in here. Not trying to censor you either of course you do you. I will continue to support but felt I should say something. Genuinely, no hate.
You kind of perpetuated lies that have long since been proven untrue. The initial reports about the crash said high rate of speed and drunk driver but that was pretty quickly dispelled. That stretch of road has been known as extremely dangerous and there have been many crashes. Daniel had been drinking but wasn’t over the legal limit, hence why he was never charged with any DUI related charges. Also forensics of the crash show that he wasn’t driving any more than 10 miles over the speed limit, which in California you usually won’t even get pulled over for. Corey’s family was initially understandably angry with Daniel, but after the facts of the night came forward, they wrote the judge a letter requesting that the murder charges be reduced to manslaughter. Daniel took accountability for his role in the accident and imo was never anything but accepting of the consequences he received. Also, he wasn’t trying to flee the scene to escape accountability, he was scared and confused with a massive concussion and brain swelling. When a bystander asked him to stop walking he immediately complied. This story is a tragedy and a reminder to everyone how dangerous driving can be.
I wish I could boost this comment a thousand times over. I normally don’t get this active in the comment section but I really felt like this story was not being told in its entirety. I really only remembered that Corey’s family had written the letter. Your comment immediately reminded me of the additional important details. Also, from what I recall police had released a preliminary report where they “alleged” that Daniel was drinking and that led to this crash. It really tainted people’s thoughts on this tragedy before the investigation was completed. It’s even hard to research this event because some of the first articles that pop up on google are based on the police’s preliminary report which was ultimately found to be inaccurate.
That’s not true. 10 over in California will get you arrested no different than any other state! Driving somewhere that’s known dangerous and speeding is reckless behavior and was wrong to do. 10 over is a criminal offense and utterly disgusting at that. Someone lost their life over this.
From what I know the guy went to prison for this- the h3 podcast seems to support reform and rehabilitation. They feature a criminal defense attorney all the time. I don’t think it is possible to live in a system where society makes it impossible work (ie. Live) without referencing a crime you already served out the punishment for. To shame anyone who gives any business to an ex-criminal - not because of risk to themselves just in the basis of their past seems like a bad idea
@@fawn2911 when I said “not because of a risk to themselves” that is something like what I was referring to -we do live in a society with a SO list and that seems different than getting a tattoo from someone who served time for manslaughter for drunk driving- should the guy be a taxi driver- probably not
it is devastating that his friend passed away. An awful AWFUL decision to drive drunk. I am a person in recovery and have done awful things in my past. nothing like that but where i’m going with this is that we don’t know how daniel feels- his social media may not portray how hard it was for him to come to terms with what he’s done , losing a friend due to his own actions and awful decisions. maybe even addiction ( i don’t know) people make mistakes. very very bad mistakes. i don’t know how daniel feels so i hope he realizes the extent of what he did ( i know you mentioned that his social media doesn’t portray this but in his personal life it may) 😢 rest in peace corey. this is devastating and i hope behind social media daniel has learned and really thought about the beautiful life he took.
causing someone to lose their life is more severe than a mistake. a mistake is accidentally leaving your keys in the door. your pity should be solely directed to the victim and his family, not the pos who chose to drive drunk knowing the risks. the man can't even be bothered to own what he did and discourage people from doing the same. at the very least he should be an advocate for victims of drunk driving and use his platform to raise awareness. but he doesn't, so your boohooing for this loser is pointless
@@fawn2911 The man literally owned what he did and discouraged people from doing the same in a video he publicly posted- I sometimes marvel, as a recovering addict myself, at the stigma and snap judgements people have for scenarios no one would ever wish to be in, and yet if you ask people TRULY how many people have ever driven drunk even ONE time in their life under the influence... it's not as societally rare as people seem to be willing to admit, unfortunately.
I also want to remain hopeful that Daniel can work towards atoning for his actions and that, despite how he may portray himself online, he is deeply remorseful. I know he received a lesser sentence after Corey’s family wrote a letter to the judge. I don’t believe anyone who is truly remorseful is irredeemable. I do however believe that Daniel will have a cross to bear for the rest of his life and the only thing that will make it lighter is advocating for safe driving practices and supporting organizations that help families of drunk driving victims. The best way to financially support these charities and advocacy groups is for him to use his talents. If you don’t want him to move on…what do you propose he do? He served the time Corey’s family deemed appropriate. He’s out now. He will always be haunted by his actions but in order to spread more awareness and do good in the world he will need to rely on tattooing and the money it can bring in.
I don’t think that people are advocating for him specifically. But I think there are a lot of people in the world who live with heavy burdens due to past mistakes they feel deeply ashamed of and remorseful about. I think what people are advocating for isn’t this specific guy, but it’s for people who maybe don’t understand how it feels to wake up every day with guilt hanging over their head to consider that they are indeed experiencing an unending punishment and no amount of stigmatization or self hatred or “not moving on” will be able to undo their mistake. Also redefining the word mistake to mean something less extreme is a non-argument.
@dd4850 it’s manslaughter. he didn’t maliciously kill his friend. there’s a large difference. the end result is equally as tragic AND i’m sure he deals with the death of his friend everyday due to his decisions ( which we may not see on social)
I think the most important factor in whether silva is good or bad, is the fact that he said he would be an advocate for safe driving and then here we are three years later and hes done fuck all to advocate. His silence speaks louder than anything he could say now.
I truly hope he is supporting those who have experienced tragedy as a result of drunk driving through less visible means (like through donations or something). It would sit wrong with me if he tried to receive any notoriety as a public advocate for these issues. I honestly hope he fades into obscurity while still maintaining enough of a steady income to consistently send money to advocacy groups. I don’t want him to be the face of any campaign.
I honestly think that everybody needs a second chance. We don’t know did he changed as a person or didn’t. A lot of times grieving counsels advise to go back to your daily life routine for healing. Plus in a lot of states it’s legal to drink “a little bit” and drive. Very strange country. Also It’s hard to speak about situations like this in general so I can’t imagine how to do it in public. And I don’t think that we know something about communication between this artist and the family of his late friend. Mb they asked him not mention about all situation in the future, mb he has zero contact with them. Just my personal opinion based on what presented in this video. Plus it’s really cringe to be disappointed or disgusted with Eathan, bc dude was grieving and just wanted a quality tattoo of his dog.
While this is absolutely terrible, imo being in a drunk driving accident doesn’t make you a *murderer*, because murder implies intent. I don’t have a lot of sympathy for this man, I don’t know him, but I don’t see evidence that he doesn’t regret what happened just because he isn’t talking about it on his professional pages. I think it’s up to his friend’s family to forgive him, not the general public.
@@treacletatts yeah, and he literally went to prison for what he's done. I just don't know what the goal is, should he never work again? Should all his public statements be about his crime? Imo that would come across really disingenuous. If he was bragging about it or making jokes I'd feel completely differently, but it's not the case from what I've seen.
If he had come out of prison and gone into performance racing or something connected to how his friend died, I can understand where this would be an important discussion, but him advocating for safe driving is probably one of the best ways to honour his friend. If he turned mourning for his friend into his brand and posted every day about it and then profited off that, THEN it would be disrespectful, and would likely hammer it home to the family day after day that Corey is gone. I’m not in any way advocating for what he did, but the BAC was below legal limits, he wasn’t intoxicated, and I’m seeing a lot of information about the road conditions in that area having caused several accidents in the past. Also, it looks like it was Corey’s car, not Daniel’s. He didn’t flee the scene, just moved away from the car, and accepted vehicular manslaughter without contest. It was an accident, and the vibe I’m getting from this video is that because of something that happened when he was 26, he doesn’t have a right to a future at all. I’m also getting the feeling he’s damned either way. He says he thinks Corey would want him to be an advocate for safe driving, and you find that deplorable. But then you also find it unacceptable that he isn’t posting about it all the time?
I gotta say, I do feel people should cut Daniel a tiny bit of slack for wanting to leave all of this behind. A classmate of mine was killed at the age of 15 in a drunk driving accident (she and the driver that hit her bike were intoxicated when the crash happened and she died immediately on impact, so at least she didn't have to suffer) Sadly, time doesn't stop for noone and his friend had as much fault in this as he did. They were both drunk and he made the choice to get in the car with him. I do not condone this, but I do understand him just wanting to move on. As I said, time never stops and people dying is terrible, the family of my classmate is grieving to this day and so is the person that hit her. I think the only thing we can do is hope that he will never put others and himself in such a dangerous situation again! (I'm sure he learned his lesson though, seeing a good friend die in front of your eyes and knowing its YOUR fault must be terrible) AGAIN!!! I'm not condoning the behaviour, I don't understand why anyone would drive while intoxicated, but thousands of people die every year because of this and his entire life shouldn't be ruined (career in this case) because of one fatal mistake he and his friend made. Idk plz don't come at me for this opinion just thought I should say somthing cuz I have experienced something somewhat similar.
I agree except for the fact that I really don’t think any blame should be put on Corey in this case. They both came from a party how in the hell did no one around them not take Daniel’s keys out of his hand?! (I have done this more times than I would like to admit with friends at parties) Or worse, let Corey in the car knowing Daniel was drunk?!
Fellow foot solider here who also has been loving your videos since I found them, I would be very surprised if Ethan knew that this artist had been involved in an incident like this. He’s said the only time he’d get a tattoo would be to memorialise the dogs, so it’s pretty clear he is not paying attention to whats happening in the realm of tattoos and wouldn’t have known about this situation especially if it was a few years ago(if this happened now I feel like they’d cover it on the podcast?? Feels up their alley). I honestly think Ethan was purely looking for an artist who could do photo realism, especially after the incident with the first artist, and not much else beyond that.
I agree that Ethan didn’t know and just thought the art was good, but surely before getting a tattoo you would think to google the artist? I’m sure this story would come up in the first results page
truly i dont think ethan would have supported silva if hed known this. like im SHOCKED. what a despicable human, truly. and ethan has only shown in the lasz few years that hes very empathetic, at least hes always trying to be. i hope that hell speak about it in one of the next podcasts so we can get a better picture, but also i cant imagine how shitty it must feel to have had such a wonky start about getting your first tattoo and being so nervous about it, finally getting it done and being SUPER happy with it and THEN after all that, learning that the person who put their art permanently on your body is a murderer....like i would feel soooo bad, but i really dont want ethan to have to feel bad about his tattoo of his beautiful dog friend who he loves so very very much. what a shitty situation all around, seriously.
Silva is *not* a *murderer.* Corey LA Barrie was tragically killed in a car crash in which Silva was driving. Silva was driving far too fast and they were *both* drunk when he crashed into that tree, killing his friend. He did not do it *on purpose* and he just as easily could've been killed himself. Silva is serving his sentence for manslaughter, a charge which *the La Barrie family asked the court* to charge down instead of the higher charge of 2nd degree murder. They did this because, although Silva was responsible for their son's death, it was still *an accident.* Silva will be paying for speeding that night for the rest of his life. He killed his friend. If you think people on the internet can hurt him more by blaming him for his friend's death and ignorantly calling him a murderer than he does himself, you've got a bad case of main character syndrome. And since I'm pretty sure Ethan *has the internet* he already knows about the crash and the court proceedings/verdict and clearly more than you do anyway. For you to assume he didn't know is goofy. He's on the internet. It was *huge* news when it happened. How could Ethan *not* know? Ethan said on his podcast, "should I talk about the other crazy stuff that people were trying to ruin it for me." Why can't y'all just let the man have his tattoo of his beloved dead dog? Because the internet is full of *asshats* that's why. Moral of the story. Don't drink & drive and let ppl get what they want by who they want on their bodies. How is it any of your business to be *so* judgemental?
@@feralhomunculusif you get behind the wheel drunk you take full responsibility for anything that happens and makes you instantly guilty. Stop trying to downplay this it’s gross.
I know a lot of folks in recovery for drug and alcohol abuse, I watched this video with one of them. They mentioned that a lot of people in recovery have horror stories of hurting or killing people before they got sober and are not those people anymore. I hope Daniel Silva is making strides to change, I hope he's considered getting sober so nothing like this will happen again by his hand. I hope Ethan can reconcile this beautiful memorial piece being done by such a problematic person, but as you mentioned Ethan has his own problematic past; I think if anyone would be able to give some grace in this sort of a situation it should be Ethan.
Nobody is saying he should never work again it’s the fact that he put no actual care into supporting a family he stole a life from by being a massive idiot. The disgusting part of it all is him trying to hide it, not actually growing. If he did shit like donate to charities or families in similar situations like said in the video or yknow, actually even pretend to care a little, It would make the whole situation feel just a tiny bit less scummy and disgusting. He has no remorse and is an awful person
@@fawn2911 Daniel only ended up doing a year because Corey's family (the victims family) sent in a personal letter advocating that Daniel's sentenced get lowered to manslaughter instead of 2nd degree murder, from their own forgiveness and re-stablishing a new understanding of the situation. They found out Daniel's blood alcohol level at the time of the crash was under the legal limit, and he was not driving much over the speed limit, and the road conditions were observed to be poor. This is information all within the court documents and also is public information, just so you know I'm not pulling this out of nowhere. This information led to Corey's family wanting to drop the 2nd degree murder charge and the lawsuit they had filed against Daniel and his company. Corey's family letter wrote that they believe ''Corey would not want to see Daniel imprisoned for what now appears to be a tragic accident''. Daniel still committed a crime, Corey died as a result of Daniel's negligence and recklessness. This is still acknowledged and still true, but there are reasons why the sentence was shorter, he was sentenced with Vehicular Manslaughter with Gross Negligence.
@@fawn2911 yeah, quite literally, he served the time hw was given. You might not agree with what the justice system decided for him, but he he did serve his sentence, that’s all I’m saying
yeah I guess instead of letting ex prisoners re-intergrate in society we should just not let them go back to work and have them be homeless. Then we can have the police arrest them again when they sleep outside. lets create a never ending cycle of prisoners instead of rehabilitating them and letting them go back into society. I really don't know what you expect the guy to do. he just posts about his work and you literally showed a video where he says hes gonna be an advocate for safe driving. what is he supposed to do, make another apology video every week that you will call robotic? (dude looked dead inside, which I'd imagine how you would feel when you were responsible for your friends death and now have to "apologize" to a bunch of random people on the internet). is he supposed to find jesus or something? its not like he posts about drinking and partying or anything. its just his work. hes just trying to make a living. This video is a rare L.
He hasn’t been an advocate, there’s no proof of him being one anywhere minus a crappy “save my rep” interview with TMZ. I’m not saying he should be homeless and jobless but with the job he has and the ammount of money he gets paid he leads a VERY privilege lifestyle. Ones that most decent humans who would never get behind a wheel after drinking could atain. There have been numerous comments on this video and I’ve had messages from people who know Daniel say he’s nothing but an arrogant asshole. He isn’t deserving of his lifestyle. Simple.
With peace and love, what is Silva supposed to do? Sit in a dark room all day and not continue on with his own life? Not work? He paid for his crime, regardless if you or others agree with the sentence he received. He still has a right to earn a living, and he is a tattoo artist. Bringing up his past crimes does no good for anybody.
Calling him a murderer in the thumbnail is a bit excessive. He made a stupid mistake and I don't agree with the fact he doesn't use his platform and status to help more. But I draw the line at outright accusing someone of doing one of the worse things imaginable. Putting drunk drivers on par with sex offenders and murderers is downright ridiculous. To murder someone is worlds away from being a reckless driver. Do I agree that people should research their artists more? Yes. But the language and tone of this video makes it sound as if you believe that excons shouldn't be able to re-integrate or reform. So what, an 18 year old could make a dumb mistake and now has to life their life as a pariah? I do agree that his punishment seems light, but if the parents of the victim are writing in defence of him it's hardly surprising.
He wasn’t 18 and bragged he couldn’t handle his car even when sober. What he did wasn’t a mistake it was selfish and careless. Drink driving is never excusable. The end.
@@treacletatts Why can't it be both - a stupid and careless mistake - that's fair! But the word 'murder' has a definition and you should use it responsibly, as I'm sure you would with other words that represent crimes against people.
It's been 3 years and you're annoyed this guy did a tattoo for someone that was happy with it? What is he supposed to do? I don't know anything about the case but I don't understand the logic here
as a massive h3 fan and a fan of yours I was wondering if you were gonna cover this!! I will say the episode where he showed the ai images had me in absolute hysterics and genuinely made me laugh so hard on a bad day... but I can't say I wouldn't have been upset if I got something like that back of my precious angel dog 😭 and yeah... when I found out who did the tattoo it honestly sat poorly with me. it's really hard to say if ethan knew about the artist's past or not, I just hope he doesn't think of that when looking at a tattoo that should be comforting him instead.
This video is disrespectful to Ethan, the tattoo artist, and the victim of the dui crash. You don't know if he's rehabilitated or not. You don't know he "doesn't care". And you don't know what his friend would want. It's a very big deal, but you don't know him or the victims' family. If he was attacked for speaking about it once it's not hard to see why he'd stay silent tbh
Atleast he got a good tat. Dan sould be giving back to the community so I can't fault him for giving the guy a chance. I hope Dan and his attiude has grown from this experince and I would like to see him helping people and hopefully people.can spread love and not hate.
I agree about the majority except the social media gap b/c the artist may have an arrangement with the family or other situational things where he's not talking because they told/asked him not to.
just some corrections. He never actually ran or tried to run from the scene he was heavily concussed and also drunk (obvs) not ok he just got out and was stumbling around confused i believe
Tattoo apprentice here, got a few things to share from what I have learnt during apprenticeship! 1. Numbing cream can definitely be okay, most of my studio artists actually use it themselves. One, when she was being tattooed by another artist in studio, did one area at a time and they worked together to prep the numbing cream on each new area before the artist tattooing her was ready to start :) another tattoo artist I know (she has a home studio now), who I was tattooed by on Thursday, had gotten herself numbing cream for her next tattoo too. Just test patch, make sure you're not allergic, AND work with your artist on it. Most times they'll have a preffered brand. Some artists definitely don't like it, just do your research with the tattoo artists, not just google :) 2. As an Australian apprentice, I also highly recommend Dr Pickles tattoo balm. Most studios here use it, they have vegan options too :) 3. Lauren is 100% about AI generated images, just do not use them, especially as tattoo artists!
I do not agree with your thoughts on Daniel you are acting as if due to a mistake (it may have been a deadly one but he obviously wasn’t trying to kill his friend) he shouldn’t be aloud to change. If anything it makes sense for him to become an advocate for safe driving cause he knows personally what can happen if you don’t. Plus Corey’s own family asked a judge for a lesser sentence and I’m sorry but I think the people who were personally affected by this should have more of a say on what happens to the guy than a random person who believes they should never be able to show their face again of still make a living off tattooing. I agree with a lot of your opinions but the fact you keep calling him a murder and holding the fact his friend died over his head when it was an accident. It wasn’t a case of he wanted the guy to die and did it willingly. He served his time which was seen as acceptable by Corey’s own family. Daniel is aloud to continue living his life and make a living. Personally if you believe if someone has been in prison for these types of things (not including were they did mean to and did it willingly) can’t continue to just live after being let go that is wrong people are aloud to change. Also it appears that he was never done for a DUI cause he wasn’t over the legal limit and even if he was most people aren’t thinking rationally when drunk you can’t go “oh he could have caused more deaths” cause he didn’t and you shouldn’t treat him like he had. Why would he put Corey on his personal business instagram that makes no sense you are treating this guy to harshly. You really have no right to comment on how he should react you are not part of this situation. Stop using Corey’s family to excuse things you are saying when they asked for a lighter sentence you don’t know the family. I’m not gonna pretend to know what they think either but neither should you. Edit: you kept mentioning that the family would still be grieving but so would he. He lost a friend and not only that he lost them because of something stupid he did I can not imagine the guilt he would feel and you can’t say what an appropriate way for him to show his grief it you are judging him based off public profiles he uses for business not on how he acts or what he may think personally. Also the crash happened on a road where crashes were know to happen. So he wasn’t drunk (which has been proven) and on a piece of road known to cause crashes.
As someone who just enrolled in university for a degree in illustration with a path leaning towards tattooing. AI art is such a slap in the face for people who have taken time and money to learn the skill of drawing/illustrating
Sooo.. you're saying that after being tried, convicted, sentenced, serving his sentence and having long term consequences (not to mention the guilt) this man is not allowed to seek forgiveness and move on with his life. He made a life showing mistake and he canceled for good in your mind? Where's the grace? The forgiveness? The compassion? He has to live with the death of his friend...he doesn't get to move forward and earn a living at the thing he's good at? Tattoo studios are no cleaner that one's own home... it's the sanitation of the area you work in that truly matters. This artist tattooing in a home is not a red flag as long as he's doing all the safe and sanitary things. His drunk driving tragedy is not a judgement on how he conducts his business. I typically agree with your opinions on these things but this time I think you're judging a bit too harshly...no? Compassion...forgiveness...grace...❤
Whoa, was not expecting that second part. I've seen his videos on my Instagram feed a few times, loved the work but thought he came off a tad haughty. Didn't know much more about him. How sad for the family. I wonder how many of his other clients he has that aren't aware of his past. I'm not sure how I would feel after learning that information about my tattoo artist and knowing they aren't ever advocating for safe driving and taking responsibility for their past, especially with the size platform he has. Thank you for making this video and keeping us informed.
I was hit by a drunk driver a month after getting my license, I am lucky that I am alive. I still have constant pain I had stitches in my finger but I’m alive. I’m 10000% against drinking and driving. It’s so preventable too.
My dad works in a jail in Canada, and from my perspective with his life stories in mind, I don't think people who committed crimes should be "avoided"/judged that much after their sentence. They have served their time. They have been judged. They are considered ok to get back to society. The price has been paid By continuing to judge them when they did their time is to say "you are horrible no matter what you do now", and if this person is trying/wants to be better, being treated like someone who is unforgivable will certainly not make them want to pursue this path. Just like the fox in zootopia
I loved tattoos for a long time (only started getting some myself last year - have 2 now but planning to add more), I watched Ink Master and I remebered Daniel Silva pretty good cause he got into IM thanks to Tatto Face-Off with Ryan Ashley on special season Ink Master Angels. I love Ryan, she's amazing black and gray artist. I remember Daniel from IM also. He was pretty full of himself. Yes, he is talented but he came off as cocky in the show. So when the accident happened and Daniel was linked to it I was following the case for a little bit. I saw a lot of news reports and YT videos about it. And every news about it was even worse. I feel so sorry for Cory's family and close friends. It was a big loss for them. I can't imagine how Cory's family must have feel after watching Daniel's apology videos. No sympathy, guilt or regret for what happened. He acted like a TV announcer reading from a prompter. And he literally just got smacked on hands when people who had less dangerous accidents where there were no fatalities ended up in prison for much longer, they suffered a much greater punishment. And he get back to tattooing right after he came out of prison. Just like nothing happened. I agree with your comment about this situation. I hope that Ethan (H3) don't resent his tattoo after he found out about Daniels past - cause I am 100% that he must have found out just after posting picture of a tattoo on IG or right after the podcast. Maybe Daniel wasn't that visible on YT for a past few years but he was pretty famous back at the times. People don't forget so quickly... PS Sorry for any grammar mistakes, English is not my first language...
i don't have tattoos yet but ive wanted them for many years, ive searched a lot for inspo, compiled a whole folder and checked some local shops and artists works to find the style i want, but where im going with this is that ive never once thought about vetting a tattoo artist on a personal level. never even crossed my mind and i can't imagine if i find a tattoo studio and an artist that i like that id go in searching info on their personal lives to dig something up or something like that. i'm not saying people shouldn't check whos art they are putting on their body but that i understand why ethan might not have thought of doing that either. especially for a first tattoo i think ud be so overwhelmed with worrying if the tattoo artist is going to do a good job and not necessarily if they are a good person
Look, if it was my sibling I'd be telling Daniel to keep their name out jis mouth, so I dunno. I'm not gonna judge him on keeping quiet about the whole thing and going about his life when that could well be Cory's families wishes.
Wow ive watched h3 for yearsss was not expecting to see this! Also been watching since way before the podcast! The tattoo he got ended up beign so great!! EDIT: wthhh I was not expecting that the artist did that????
There's no way Ethan knew 😭 he's talked about drunk drivers and how stupid they are ect Could have waited a day to post this video.. they got live Wednesday, so he's gonna talk about it? And say whether or not he knew Shoud have waited Ethan probably so upset such a meaningful tattoo was done by that guy
It sounds like this Daniel guy sucks, but it seems like you don't really know what you're talking about. First, when Daniel said he thinks his friend would like him to be a safe driving advocate, you accused him of putting words in his mouth and being disrespectful. Then you said he should post about what happened every day on his socials (like Corey's family would want to see that) and try to "make right" what happened. This is not the kind of thing you can make right publicly. It's between Daniel and Corey's family. And also, "I would NEVER drive drunk" is a really bold statement. You don't make rational decisions when you're intoxicated. That's kind of the problem. I'm not defending Daniel specifically, I'm just saying these situations have a lot of nuances and for someone who is an "empath" you seem to really be overlooking them.
thank you for mentioning the lack of aftercare instructions. i have 18 tattoos of various sizes and unless i’ve gotten tattooed by the artist before, they go over recommended aftercare. also the artist’s apology for literally killing someone was so half hearted and sounded unconvincing.
To heal tattoos, I use Aquaphor because it's what the studio I go to recommends and I've never used anything else and my tattoos have healed great. My only complaint is that it's pretty greasy so don't use too much.
lmaooo never expected someone to make a video on this. no he didn't know because not everyone is going to background check for drama every time they want to interact with someone, especially not Ethan. also it seems like the guy served his time so why cancel him for life over an accident.
Not my instagram comment being featured in the video!!! 🆘🚨 LAUREN ILYSM AHH. But fr agree with you on everything ((as usual)) and I’m so happy to find out you’re a big H3 fan too!! Family !!
Personally I cannot stand Ethan, however I'm sorry for his loss. I can honestly see Ethan just completely ignore the artist's aftercare instructions because he basically zoned out and/or didn't care to listen.
That's Bs My best friend and his best friend got into an accident and the kid driving got sentenced to 8 years in prison for killing his best friend He's still not out yet to only get a year is freaking crazy
Driving drunk isn’t an accident. It’s a choice. And in today’s world it’s a very easy choice to not drive drunk! With Uber and Lyft at your fingertips there’s such an easy way out of it. There’s no excuse, ever! You know that driving drunk will cause you to crash and possibly kill someone, so it’s not an accident. They KNEW better. I am appalled by the supporters that are saying it was just an accident and he didn’t mean to. Like seriously?? Everyone knows it’s dangerous to drive drunk
I mean he did serve his sentence, and i know that him not mentioning what happend because of his actions is bad. But i also dont think that someone should suffer for the rest of their life for something that happened in the past, or that they should not be able to work or continue on with their life because of it. Nor should someone be constantly thinking about the horrible things they have done without a chance at being normal again, because that would essentially mean suicide for them, unless what happened did so with malicious intent. Now, i dont know much about this man or what happened but it does not seem that he wanted to kill his friend, but that he acted in an incredibly stupid and dangerous way in which many young people (mostly men) do, so i do not believe he deserves the death sentence for it nor should he be ostracized from society. Either way if he is a horrible person then f+ck him. anyway, i love you and your videos thank you for the entertainment and information you provide!@@treacletatts
ETA: I feel it’s not fair to assume that the dude doesn’t care about having ended someone’s life. We don’t know what he’s thinking, or saying that he should no longer tattoo. I’m sure he thinks about it ALL THE TIME, the info on this is all over. He can’t escape it. Daniel effed up and he most likely already knows this, specially since he did time for it, but dragging him back to always grovel and carry this death won’t bring back that poor baby, life can’t be changed, we already judge ourselves really bad, and maybe that’s how he is, again we are not him and we can’t just assume for him, so do you feel it’s ok to assume he’s a heartless ashole who’s moved on, we are not judges nor god to press what we would do if we’d had been the one who drank and drive, until you really go through that. Do you want him to kill him self? We all feel, and go through things differently, and decide for ourselves how to proceed, if Ethan wanted a tat from this dude, that’s his choice, bringing up someone’s past and using that against them won’t change what’s been done, life goes on at the end of it all, can’t stop it. Yea he deleted the vid, it’s his account, yes that’s sucky, but it’s already been viewed. I use mad rabbit tattoo care products, they’re great. Jk I don’t, I just research the balms and choose one I’m most confident and comfortable with. I use one that has a deer on it, it’s worked great with both my new tattoos. I think as long as they sanitize the area the tattoo will be done and wrapped as needed, it should be fine. Literal tattoo expos and gatherings are a thing…. Right? I recall almost going to one, anyways. There’s that, and I’m sure they sanitize certain sections and bring needle boxes to these events, so I’m sure when people ask to have them done at a different location, the tattoo artist is aware to sanitize and bring needle boxes along with the essentials 😂😂
Help me to understand. I agree that driving drunk is awful, ofc it's his fault that his friend died. Idk what his reaction for all this was and if he feels guilt, I honestly hear about this man first time in my life (I'm from another country). So my question is. Are people who did smth really wrong do not deserve to do their work? I mean, yea, I agree that it's a red flag for tattoo master, and I would think twice if to get tatoo from him. But he did his time in prison, mb, i can not know for sure, he feels guit for this. And in situation where person took his leason from what happend and never will drive a car while drunk again, does he not deserve to continue to do what he can do, what feeds him? Again, Idk who this man is, so my question more about hypotetical person I described. CAuse I kinda feel that point in the video that if you made a huge mistake and took his lesson from it and agree that what he did is awful, he does not have a second chance. I am just trying to understand and have no intend to defend some one. Ty
I say this with the utmost respect and this comment isn't even necessarily about the artist, but more aftercare: the tattoo community is too passionate. Too opinionated. There are different ways to do things, and it doesn't make it wrong or right. And to blame someone for getting tatted by "the wrong person" it's just.... It leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Yeah, the artist fucked up but that doesn't fall onto Ethan. Sure he could've researched beforehand but constantly researching people and not giving the benefit of the doubt is kind of a toxic trait imo- especially if the artist reached out to Ethan first. You can't expect people to know the background behind every single person they interact with. It's unrealistic.
Now Lauren...the "killed his friend" line really made me pause and sit here with an open mouth for like a minute. I wasn't prepared at all. This is soooo wild jeez, Ethan really seems like the kind of dude to do background checks but..well
Im sorry but I dont agree with you. I know for us looking in and knowing he killed his friends it’s easy for us to go into mob mentality mode and completely sacrifice people. But he was young and made a mistake. He killed his FRIEND. How do you think that would feel?? You can’t specifically say exactly what people should do, everyone is different and you’ve never been in that situation. Do we want Daniel to essentially be banned from society for life, be homeless not make any money and just crawl up in a hole depressed thinking about his horrible mistake forever? I definitely don’t expect him to talk about it all the time it’s probably super painful. People have to be able to move on and live their lives.
Making a mistake is trivial things… getting behind the wheel of a sports car after being to a party and drinking is irresponsible and selfish. All decent people know this. He is living a VERY privilege lifestyle and as reported by many in the comments section here and on other platforms Daniel is very arrogant about that. I’m not saying he should be homeless or jobless but does someone so selfish deserve a lifestyle that many decent people could never attain… imo he does not.
always take utmost care when healing your tattoo. I've never had any but my gf got one on each forearm. the first went perfectly. the second time she went to the same guy and at some point the saniderm came loose. i told her to take it off and immediately wash it like the tattoo artist said. she wouldn't listen and though it was fine cus it only popped off a tiny bit and didn't come into contact with anything and had me wrap it over with plastic wrap. I thought it was a terrible idea but did what she asked. shortly after it started getting really painful and raised lines in the shape of the tattoo. we eventually had to go to urgent care because it hurt her so bad. both the artist and the doctor at urgent care said it probably was infected when it popped off and she should have washed it immediately like I said. She was in immense pain for a week or so and it took a long time for the raised inflammation to fully go away and scarred a bit. some of the color bled a bit but it wasn't too bad. she needs to go in for a touch up at some point. so yeah don't take this too casually. you are making a massive open wound on your body. treat it like so or else you can effect the outcome of the tattoo and even your health and cause a lot of pain. were just lucky it was very temporary, albeit intense.
What a way of ruining a memorial tattoo. Ethan most likely had no idea and even if he did, yeah, it's a terrible thing, but his art is good, he's a professional and he has the right to move on since he's done doing his time. Let the guy enjoy his gorgeous tattoo done by, what we know, a good tattoo artist.
My tattoo artist always reminds me about the basics of aftercare, even though I've been going to him for years. I can't imagine any artist not going over aftercare, especially if the client's a tattoo virgin.
20:10 OH MY GOSH. When you said Corey’s name my heart sunk. I remember hearing about this story when it happened!!! I had no idea the tattoo artist was the same guy. Wow. 🥺
I've had 18 tattoos and for 90% of them I used Bepanthen and never had an issue, and I dry healed a couple and also didn't have an issue I think they actually healed faster honestly, though they were extremely itchy for a day or two a few days after 🤣 All healed great!
Thank you for todays video, I could really appreciate your passion despite not being a H3 viewer. Great timing too as this longer video is accompanying me in the studio as I work on my art school finals. All the best from Australia :)
I have been watching a lot of the Ink Master episodes I missed and remember rooting for Silva when he was on Ink Angels. To say I am shocked would be an understatement, I honestly had no idea this happened. Absolutely horrific.
i personally dry healed my tattoo on my back and it healed beautifully i got in summer time so the only thing that ever went on it was sunblock a about a week later or so when my family went to the beach (im a pasty girly who burns like crazy so i avoid the sun at all costs but yk the sun exists) the artist was amazing we know her personally! and my mom is a tattooed person so she obviously helped me a lot with healing it but i also have very naturally dry and sensitive skin so i think dry healing worked well for me due to that every body is different!
Oh my god my jaw dropped when I heard what the second tattoo artist did. I followed him on RUclips maybe a year ago without knowing anything !!! I loved his tattoos but find him a little bit weird (like, his ego is huge) but I wasn't aware of this history... I feel so sad and bad for supporting him now. Much love to the family of the victim
I'm gonna preface this by saying I neither drink nor do I have a driver's license. I firmly hate cars and wish they would disappear together with the whole environment-destroying bs. And maybe it's because I hate cars so much, that I have a little more sympathy. Who the hell decided everyone should be able to drive killing machines around? One of my elderly colleagues hit a pedestrian a few months ago (he was injured but recovered). She just didn't see him. She wasn't drunk, she wasn't on her phone, she just... didn't see. I don't think she's irredeemable. I think cars are. Similarly, in my high school, there was a group of 18 year olds who went to a graduation party. They all got in a car drunk, knowing the driver was drunk. They went off the road and all 4 of them died. Was the driver at fault? Yes. Were the people who got in a car with a drunk person at fault? Also yes to an extent. Is the whole existence of cars at fault? Also yes. And so is the fact that there are no buses past midnight around my region and taxis are either non-existant or impossibly expensive. Also, some modern cars, especially suv are actively more dangerous than older, smaller cars. They don't have proper crumple zones. All that to say, I'm not a fan of individualistic approaches to public safety. Should people who drunk drive face consequences? Yes. Should they never live it down. Eh... And finally, I think it would be actively disrespectful to the family for him to post about the person he killed. I'd have an attitude of "take my loved one's name out of your mouth". It's not his tragedy to tell/exploit for browney points. Should he do charity stuff? Yes. But at the same time that would be super performative. I think he should say once that from now on he'll donate 10% of his income to "insert charity" and then do it and stfu about it.
As a Brit who lived in LA for a long time I was often taken aback by some of the casual attitudes to drink driving there, although I'm also old enough to remember that it didn't always carry the stigma it does now in the UK either.
Very tragic story about Corey. People suck. This story reminds me of a current high profile Sri Lankan cricket player, K Mendis, who is currently playing in the men's cricket world cup. K Mendis was caught on street cameras driving on the wrong side of the road, speeding, and killed a man on his bicycle...and drove off! Mendis was drunk as well. Of course, coz he's an elite cricket player, connected to corrupt elites and politicians in Sri Lanka...just read about how he got away with murder, hit and run and reckless drunk driving...and he was allowed bail for nothing! And did no jail time...was ordered to cover funeral costs. He paid shit all. Privileged, corrupt murderers everywhere. Thanks for sharing
Okay but at what point do we stop condemning someone we do not know for something that did not have anything to do with us, even after they've finished a jail sentence for what they did? People who do not have addiction do not drunk drive, it takes a lot of mental issues to risk that knowing what can happen. Hes not an uber driver, he is a tattoo artist. Just because you dont like his apology doesn't mean it isnt sincere. We do not know him. For all we know he is going to aa and working with a therapist, for all we know this haunts him every day. Is he supposed to be homeless and destitute for the rest of his life as a free man? How does ot helo him grow to make his entire social media presence about hiw he killed his friend because of addiction? How does it help his friends family? How does it help anyone? Not everyone pours their entire life out to the public on insta. You have no idea what he does in his private life to make up for that terrible mistake he made. Let people move on, the alternative is he kills himself because he wallows in guilt and decides to never do better and be a becon of hope. And for people who do not know him and are not related to the victim, it really doesnt seem like our place to decide the only way forward for him is to abandon his career and hate himself forever. I was interested in this video up until you started shit talking a man for something he is dealing with privately. Addiction is real, people are not their best self when theyre in the middle of it, and they do horrible things they woukd never imagine theyre capable of. Pretty disgusting to decide there should be no path forward once their sentence is served and they try to live life and do better.

For those trying to tell me about the other narrative. It’s very clear that Daniel manipulated the events to his lawyer and Corey’s family to make it look like an accident to be let off lightly. Here’s a video from one of Corey’s friend talking about the night - he was there - and the impact it’s had on him. ruclips.net/video/xOF2FSTfgGE/видео.htmlsi=Lp2lvPvaI9dbGgSy
Drink driving is never ever excusable and shame on anyone who is saying what happened was just an accident. When you get behind the wheel of the car after drinking- a car that Daniel had said he couldn’t control anyway - you are knowingly putting people in danger. End of.
I do agree with a lot of what you're saying Treacle, I don't condone any of this at all, but at the same time I don't particularly agree with how this video came across in regards to attitudes to ex-convicts.
This isn't even about Daniel Silva for me, this is just about the fact that I think the opinions we publicize can accidentaly be so all-encompassing that even if this shame was just reserved and directed only for Daniel Silva in this video, it still ends up affecting people's perceptions of ex-convicts as a whole (and also makes any ex-convict viewers themselves feel a lot of shame). Even if people can't agree that Daniel Silva did his time and he reintegrated into society, I feel like you've unintentionally put forward a lot of shame and judgement towards ex-convicts as a whole and possibly some who might be watching you.
I can already see there's a lot of comments who share similar sentiments to me. I just hope you understand why some people might feel like you're all brushing them with the same stroke, even though this video is supposed to just be particular about Daniel Silva. There's other commentors who are sadly perpetuating harmful ideas in which they think ex-convicts shouldn't be allowed to live a normal life, to come back to society and not feel punished for the rest of their lives. There's already a huge shame-culture surrounding ex-convicts and that often leads them to going back to prison, not being able to reform or develop a substantial life outside of prison because they can't get employed or live it due to people's attitudes towards them.
I don't think it hurts for me to ask, but maybe you could make it a clear statement on what your opinions are about that (not in relation to Daniel) but to ex-convicts as a whole? I don't want to censor you, step on your toes or make you do things you don't want to do but I feel like this is where a lot of the upset is coming from. Some of your audience will be addicts, ex-convicts, or related to ex-convicts who may be feeling scared/attacked in what is supposed to be a safe place (your channel). Some of the tattoo industry is also made up of ex-convicts who are just pursuing a passion and trying to get back into living life again.
I just don't want this video to end up being a source or fuelling of people's judgement towards other ex-convicts (doesn't have to be about Daniel). I'd just like to know where you stand on all that, more than anything and if this is still a safe space for others x
@@Doll.autopsyit all depends on context. Drink drivers, sex offenders, murderers (unless it’s self defence or genuine accident - no alcohol involved ) to me are the lowest of the low. Anything else I 100% believe deserve a second chance after time served.
@@treacletatts Thank you for taking time to respond and make your stance clear. I also agree with your distinction as well. Clear line between those who are a threat to society vs those who are not sort of thing.
Thank you Treacle for bringing this to the attention of many (including myself) who thought the whole story was not being told in your video.
I also want to highlight that the whole story on this incident in particular is not easy to come by if you do not follow those involved. If you google “Daniel Silva car crash” the first article you see is one based on the initial police report. If you try to dive deeper you see that Daniel claimed he was not drunk and that the crash forensics investigation supports this. However, I did not think to dive deeper because after the official report was released and Corey’s family wrote the letter in support of Daniel’s sentence being reduced I thought the matter was closed.
Oscar’s video however adds even more context, especially with respect to the claims made in court and how witnesses’s accounts disagreed with these claims despite not being enough to officially dispute them. Additionally, it was really important to me to know Oscar released his video with the support of Corey’s family behind him.
However, where I still disagree with your take Treacle is that I would not put those who drove drunk on the same level as sex offenders - especially if no one was hurt during the time they did drive recklessly. Because INTENT matters. If you commit any form of sexual assault there is a baseline of premeditation woven within that crime. If you drive drunk and someone dies as a result of your actions you are 100% guilty, but do I think your actions which I think many can admit many ordinary people under the influence are capable of doing (it’s just that often times everyone is lucky enough the driver was stopped before such a tragedy occurred), should be weighted as equally as heinous as a sexual predator’s? No, I do not. They are not the same and that is why there are levels of degrees of severity regarding charges like murder - voluntary manslaughter is not the same as murder in the first or second degree.
If that is not what you were saying and I misinterpreted your stance on the matter please let me know, I do not want to put words in anyone’s mouth.
Why are we making excuses for people that CHOOSE to drive intoxicated? It’s a selfish decision. You know better but rather than get a ride or walk home you choose to put yourself behind the wheel of a few hundred ton vehicle. My brother was killed because of someone else’s reckless and selfish decision. And that incident absolutely showed the person’s character. It’s not just an “accident”.
I'd be pissed if an artist sent me AI images as a draft. I see no problem with clients bringing them in as inspo/examples, but paying for original art means paying for original art by that artist, not an AI.
Ikr? Like... Can you draw?? Kind of important, here!
I'd still see a problem if a client brought AI. I'm not a tattoo artist but I'd probably send them back to find actual references and artists
As a tattoo artist being able to draw helps you successfully shade/color tattoos. Tattooing is more than drawing though. It’s incredibly technical and the application itself is equally if not more important than the design. Many tattooist can’t draw (I know many) their technical application skills are unmatched though.
@@thomasdatoneboi405 I brought in a jpeg and told the artist that he could change it up if he wanted too. He just made the shading a bit heavier but had zero problem with me bringing it in. 🤷🏼♀️
It’s still a problem if they bring in AI art, because AI art gets its images by stealing from artists.
From the perspective of an artist: AI does NOT create art. It takes images, references, art created by real people, and creates an image. Not art. Never call it art. It's not art. There is no soul in that.
Well said.
Thank you. Any self-respecting artist would never. Could never. ai can be useful and done ethically but it seems like that's the outlier rather than the norm. It's great with helping, but people aren't even generating their own prompts anymore. I remember this book I read a long time ago where drawing or "manual art" wasn't practiced anymore. Only a handful of people left and hid in the mountains where they were essentially fighting against invasive technology. It feels oddly similar.
also, if anyone remembers that book, please lmk. I think there were digital but permanent tattoos in the book.
More specifically it data scrapes, it is a massive privacy issue. But yes, I’m in agreement, it absolutely is not art. It’s massive theft. I’m speaking from the perspective as a professional designer and have had my work fed to the machine. And as to date, there is no AI program that is operating ethically.
Whatever you call it, if it wasn't worth the time a human would have taken to create it, then it's worthless to me too.
Idk, from a perspective of a graphic designer- I’m in school and we’ve been learning about AI because it’s soooo new. My teachers are in the industry and have a massive background in GD for a very long time -and talented May I add- and they have good arguments as to why it IS art.
I honestly don’t think Ethan knew. He currently has so much going on with work, kids, Hila being pregnant, shredder passing away, and getting conned by a tattoo artist! I think Ethan was desperate and just looked at his tattooing skills and nothing else.
I also think that if it's ur first tattoo you wouldn't have the know how to spot grifters like this, especially in LA which seems to be full of them.
obviously ethan doesnt know nothing bout no one
@@clownshark_ I heard that when he tries to think nothing happens 😔
@@Boogidy thats what happens when youre 42
I agree. This is the most charitable thought, and you’d be surprised how sought after he still is in LA/west coast 😩 I’m sure even if he did ask around he’d hear how good his work is and not thinking if this artist has been in a mainstream crime/controversy.
I really can’t imagine Ethan being told this and saying he doesn’t care and going through with it anyhow.
I can’t believe that people were being critical towards Ethan over this. Be upset with the artist, not a client who didn’t know anything about it
yeah its not our job to do criminal background checks whenever someone provided a service. Imagine if people held you responsible because you went and got a haircut and "didn't do your research" because the hairdresser/barber did something in the past.
Sorry but you can excuse people for being this stupid when you have access to the internet and chronically online
Ethan gets tons of crap, some of it earned, but most of it is just pissy people who don't like to see him succeeding.
MODS
@@HorrorcoreArtiststhe most underrated surprise comment
Hey, Lauren! I’m a primary care doctor and thanks to you and your channel, I learned about RCPD. And recently I had a patient with complaints consistent with RCPD for the first time since learning about it. They are going to consider going to a specialist. Thanks for sharing your experience and I’m hoping to be able to educate more people in the future about it.
Ah this is amazing!!! You have no idea how happy that makes me 🥹 so many people with rcpd get diagnosed with IBS or GERD and go through years of tests for nothing to show up so you’ve probably just saved this person from this and sending them in the right direction!! Massive respect to
You ❤️
Very cool! I hadn't heard of RCPD before so just looked it up and one of the first hits was from a medical journal article published this year stating that there's been "a recent increase in awareness through patient-led social media discussion boards" so kudos to Lauren and everyone else getting the word out. ❤
I was laughing the entire episode, but I know how important the tattoo is to Ethan. He was genuinely upset about the AI, you can kinda see it in his face. I′m not gonna lie, though, the words “human shoulders” have made me randomly giggle throughout the day.
one of the best episodes in a long ass time, it's an instant classic to me
On the first [AI] tattoo guy, I died when Ethan said of the weird portrait mock-ups, "Why is [my dog] wearing a top hat?! Is he going to his own funeral?" Aw! At least he could still have a chuckle. Poor pupper, and poor Ethan. He clearly loved lil Shredder. (And he has kids, right? Aw surely they're little, but I bet they were sad! ;_;)
It's the client's responsibility to care for a healing tattoo, but it's part of the artist's job to make sure that the client understands how.
This point exactly! I got my first tattoo last year and I didn’t know anything about the healing process. Thankfully my artist walked me through the process and got me to at least know what to do and what to look out for. Can’t say the same about the tattoo I just got at the same place. Artist (shop owner too) didn’t even put saniderm on my tattoo because she thought it wasn’t necessary. Fair to say I won’t be going back there anymore 😬
I saw this. I would be pretty disgusted if an artist sent me AI images. It's actually a little depressing to think a so-called artist would do that. BUT WOAH, what a twist with the second tattoo artist. At least the memorial tattoo turned out beautiful. Realistically there's no way Ethan knew, and honestly I wish people would not make too big of a deal about it. It's a terrible thing that this artist has done, but I think people should be able to work after doing their time in prison anyhow.
agree
I agree. He did something horrible but he served his time. He should be allowed to work. We shouldn't continue to punish people after they get out of prison.
He didn't intentionally murder La Barrie. They were *both* drunk that night. Silva chose to drive, but *Corey chose to get into the car* with him. Is drinking and driving a horrible offense? 100% and killing someone while doing it is deplorable. He was responsible for his friend's death. He'll have to live with that for the rest of his life. I mean, I guess we should've just given him automatic death penalty instead of manslaughter (a charge which La Barrie's family themselves asked the court to lessen from 2nd degree murder) if the internet was the judge.
And *how* could Ethan *not know?* It was huge news when it happened, and if you Google him now, it comes up. Ethan doesn't exactly live under a rock. It's straight goofy to assume he didn't know instead of thinking maybe he chose an artist for his art and not a mistake he made 3 years ago. Just let the man have his tattoo of his lovely dog in peace. Hate Silva if you like, but it's almost like y'all just *need* to create drama. Oh right, the internet.
@phill_larrup I agree that the justice system is unfair, and there's no justification for the choices he made - but manslaughter is not the same as murder. I'm not sure what the fair time would be because that's ultimately subjective, but a killing that lacks intentionality is legally and morally distinct from murder and should not incur the same severity of penalty.
This may be an unpopular opinion seeing the tone of the video but once you complete your sentence and get out of prison, I don't think it is controversial to continue your (unrelated) job and for people to give you custom. We can have a long discussion here about reintegration of prisoners, and shunning excons for life is not the answer.
❤
yeah people are so against reintegrating prisoners back in society. I get people on the right having that standpoint, its just part of their hateful ideology, but its sad seeing people on the left advocate for things the abolition of the death penatly and getting rid of private prisons, and the move for prisons to be a place of reform and not punishment, but then anyone who served there time must be "cancelled". So you don't want them dead and you don't want them being treated poorly while serving time, but when they get out they better be homeless or completely out of sight out of mind? How is that productive and humane at all?
@@ZectifinDepends on the prisoner. Someone that only served 2 years for a murder and clearly shows no remorse is not someone I’m going to welcome back into society with open arms. You can’t pretend that all ex-cons are suddenly upstanding citizens after doing their time. I’m all for easier access to jobs etc., but your crime doesn’t disappear when you walk out of prison. You have to earn back trust.
I’m also reading that he was not above the legal limit when his BAC was taken so he wasn’t even charged with drunk driving. Given it could’ve dropped a little bit from the time he crashed to when he was tested, but he clearly wasn’t plastered when the crash happened.
@@FrauStormm He fled the scene and then claimed not remembering anything - pretty sure you don’t flee when you are a law abiding citizen
I wouldn't trust an artist who uses AI to create designs to actually be able to tattoo that design. Like there is no way it will be in your style or use your talent
I honestly have mixed feelings about your opinion on the second artist. Like, yeah, drunk driving leading to manslaughter is awful, and the fault is wholly his own. How would you bring that up while in the process of securing a client? When would be the appropriate time to "heal" from that, to move on from something awful that you had done? I don't know. It's not an easy subject to navigate.
I think she just wants people to research their perspective artists
Deeper into the video now. Definitely agree it's a strange thing to navigate but also I can't blame her for wanting him to be open somehow (idk how) about what he did. Idk, I just can't imagine learning my tattoo artist was a murderer after a tattoo is done
Idk I don’t think you should be allowed to just move on after you’re the reason someone is dead
I think she’s more referring to her opinion of the kind of person he is based on his behavior afterwards, not her being upset that he wasn’t disclosing his conviction to clients. For some of the things he could do to atone, I actually appreciate how clearly she laid out ways he could still tattoo and show his remorse
(Advocacy by speaking about it, he’s a public figure and his story might be an important cautionary tale to his fan base, doing charity tattoo events or fundraisers, she had some excellent ideas that were not gimmicky and could do some good)
It’s the fact that he got basically a slap on the wrist and it seems like he wants to erase it from his story. The skeleton in the closet method can read like not really admitting fault, taking accountability, or realizing the gravity of your actions. His victim’s family can see him out there, living his best life on social media… while they celebrate every Christmas and birthday without a loved one who had so much life to live.
I agree. I am a tattoo artist that has personal trauma, personal failings and feelings and I don't share everything that is going on in my private life with my clients. I also think there is a reason people get to have a second chance after they do shit like this and we should be humble enough to not scream at them for not wanting to make their own worst mistakes part of their work life.
I love you Treacle and I am no fan of Daniel Silva, but to be clear Daniel’s sentence was lessened from murder to manslaughter because of his claim that he did not in fact try to flee the scene and was disoriented after the crash. Corey’s family accepted this explanation and wrote a letter to the judge asking to reduce the charge’s severity.
EDIT: I was reminded by another commenter, that Daniel was never served with DUI charges because he was not over the legal limit. After the crash forensics investigation was completed, it was revealed that Daniel was driving no more than 10 miles above the speed limit, and that that stretch of road was just particularly treacherous (crashes were very frequent there). Daniel being unfamiliar with this lost control of the vehicle at some point ultimately leading to the crash. This revelation is ultimately what led Corey’s family to write that letter to the judge.
Doesn't matter. You drink and then drive its 100% your fault when you kill someone.
@@laurahoughton5911 it obviously was still his fault and that’s why he went to jail but there are degrees of murder and manslaughter for a reason
@laurahoughton5911 That is not my point. What I’m saying is that Corey’s family collectively worked to reduce his sentence in an act of closure and forgiveness. The people whose feelings should matter above anyone else’s have spoken on the matter with their actions. More has happened than was touched upon in this video. And I think that is worth mentioning - especially if one is getting angry on behalf of the people who actually experienced this loss.
@@karajara9627 the loss happened to be his friend, but it could have been anyone. It could have been multiple people.
Drink driving is monumentally stupid, and it endangers everyone.
I'm glad that the family of the deceased have found closure, but I don't think someone who has driven drunk and killed someone should ever be promoted by someone with as much influence as Ethan Klein, because I don't think he should be in a position where he's able to be an influencer, and being promoted by Ethan Klein is going to boost his following and his reach.
I'm not saying he shouldn't ever tattoo again, but there's a world of difference between quietly going back to your job as a tattoo artist and jumping back on social media and promoting yourself as a celebrity tattoo artist and continuing to try and accrue a huge following.
@@laurahoughton5911 Though I agree with your assessment on whether Daniel should get to benefit from Ethan’s influence, that is not the point I am making.
What I am saying is that many assumptions have been used to justify whether or not Daniel is deserving of moving on following the same successful trajectory he was on before this tragedy.
People assume he is not remorseful (not now nor at the scene of the crime) or that he hasn’t done anything in terms of advocacy. If it was public knowledge that he did donate a large sum or start a charity he would still be receiving some sort of notoriety regardless. Also where would you have him publicly express this remorse? On Instagram? His most followed platform that he has always used for SELF-promotion? At the very least many would view that in poor taste.
People also assume he legally has the option of posting about Corey. His family may have a no contact order in place with specific stipulations.
The fact is there is no obvious answer on what he should do. And no way of ever confirming most of these assumptions. Should his Instagram that he had spent years cultivating just be flushed down the toilet and he should just fade away into obscurity? How does anybody expect him to be able to make meaningful contributions without meaningful sums of money?
Again, my point is there is nuance to this, and the fact of the matter is Daniel as the drunk driver surviving a crash when his friend in the passenger seat dies on impact is an all too familiar story in the US.
Also the comment implying that anyone who is responsible for drunk driving related deaths should be looked at as if multiple deaths COULD have occurred is not a productive argument in terms of addressing what can still be done after a tragedy has occurred. From that prospective, that person is no longer a driver that is responsible for his friend’s death but is instead a potential multiple murderer. DUIs and DUI related deaths are so unfortunately common place. You cannot say everyone guilty of this type of crime can never and should never be as successful as they once were and they need to wallow in obscurity their entire life (especially if they make their living by being on a public platform) - this is pretty much assuring another preventable death takes place.
The opinions stated regarding the tattoo artist are incredibly loaded. Yes, he is responsible for getting in the car. He WAS punished.
It's truly sad that there are people who believe that people should continuously be punished rather than given an opportunity to grow and reform.
In regards to Daniel's apology video, it didn't come off as cold. It looked like someone struggling to cope with what happened due to THEIR choices. It looked like someone trying to hold it together. Would it have been better if he recorded himself sobbing? Or would that have looked like he was just milking the situation? Everyone proceeds and mourns in their own ways and I don’t think it's fair to assume he is not grieving just because he doesn't cry on camera or post about his friend.
Would it be seen as disingenuous if he posted about charity work? Maybe he donated/paid for his friend's funeral. Again, would it be disingenuous if he posted about it?
I think Daniel's statement of wanting to be an advocate was a fair statement. He didn't play down the situation, he owned it and said that he wants to encourage people to not make the same choice he did. I feel that's a beautiful way to honor someone.
Say for example, someone's gun accidentally went off and killed someone so they decide to advocate for gun safety. Would that be wrong? Would they have "the audacity?" How else should they respond?
End point. Daniel WAS punished and I'm sure he lives everyday with the pain of his decision. I don't think it's fair to exile him from society and strip him of his right to grow and reform. Prison, like someone else mentioned, is about reform not punishment.
I absolutely agree. He made a very tragic mistake. I truly hope he learns and grows. No matter what, he will still have to live with it every day of his life.
Agree on this. We don’t know all he is doing or has done as well as all the internal struggles.
There really is no winning when you’re a person at the mercy of social media.
He didn't do more than two months in prison. He didn't face punishment. Let's not pretend this man served real time for killing someone. He got a slap on the wrist.
Agreed- sometimes I wonder when people so vehemently hold opinions on people involved in terrible situations like this
a) do they know the persons character, what has he been like the other million days of his life aside from this 1 horrific night? and
b) have they ever been involved in a similar situation- because I have.
I am a member of the HUGE community of recovering drug addicts in the world today, and let me tell ya- I love Treacle's videos but I would bet money after watching this she has not struggled with alcohol or drug addiction. Not saying this about Silva I don't know his story or if he's struggled, but I do know there are LAYERS to situations like these and being in the Recovery community, I have heard countless stories adjacent to this one, and yes he will live with it every day of his life- every. day.
Maybe he feels he has no right to be posting his friend up on Instagram in a memorial, I simply feel I do not have enough information to be making as strong a stand as was made in this particular video.
We DO Recover!!!
I really think he should have seen more jail time. And its my personal opinion that ANYONE who is caught driving under the influence should have their license suspended for a very significant amount of time regardless of whether or not they got in an accident. In this kind of situation where they killed someone, I think they should never drive again. However, I do see where you're coming from (even if I don't wholly agree). I still think he's a jackass though.
Ultimately, we don't know what he has done to atone and frankly its not our business. Its his and, more importantly, his victims surviving family.
I do (respectfully) disagree with Treacles opinion that he should have Corrie present in some way on his media. That kind of thing usually strikes me as pretty gross, especially if you can't trust that its coming from a place of authenticity; if I was his family member I would feel nothing but rage. So I'm actually glad Corrie isn't being used in that way. Like a prop or a martyr or something, a tool to be used for public self flagellation. Its bad enough he made an assumption on what Corrie would want him to do
He is right theres about 50 ways to heal a tattoo. Ive used aquaphor and tattoo balms and lotion everyone is different. I have also had mixed aftercare instructions or none at all with about 90% of my tattoos.
Yeah it’s so true, there is soooo much conflicting info about tattoo healing about 😩
Lubriderm unscented lotion all the way. Hot water. That's all the aftercare should be. Once it's drying out and flakey you just use a small amount. The tattoo balms are a scam. A dermatologist would tell anyone that.
I used Aquaphor and it worked like a charm. Tattoo healed pretty quickly.
@@annanimity2034unscented lubriderm to moisturize and gold antibacterial dial soap to clean it!! That’s what I was told for tat one and that’s what I’ll use til I die 😂
@StarlightCelestine I second that, I used tattoo soap and aquaphor, and it healed with no issues.
Definitely knew that Daniel Silva killed someone in a car crash. And while he is a great tattoo artist, he definitely did something terrible.
And the fact that he tried to flee the scene too. Accidents happen but from what all of Corey's friends said it sounded like he made bad decision after bad decision and I'm kinda sad he still has a career.
@@isabellawrence5891 honestly same. I’d think no one would ever want to go to him again after his release from prison.
I’m not a big fan of how she kept calling him a murderer. Yeah he killed him he wasn’t charged with murder he was charged with manslaughter.
@@kochspostulates6149 can agree with this. It’s not like he chose to murder him.
@@artisticalex1206when you receive a dui in the state of California you are acknowledging getting behind the wheel of a vehicle while intoxicated poses a huge risk to anyone involved. Thats why he was originally tried with murder he was let off with manslaughter due to pleading no contest. So yes, it is considered murder he was given a reduced charge due to cooperation and assistance from the victims family. He IS in fact a murderer
I often forget that most people don't spend months and months researching tattoos, tattoo etiquette and tattoo aftercare before going to get their first tattoo lol. And then more time finding a good local artist whose work I like. I guess I have my autism and tendency to hyperfixate on things to thank 😅
i have ADHD and i’m the same way 🥲 i know a lot of folks still associate ADHD with stuff like inability to focus, distractibility, etc. only and it’s kinda funny, bc when i hyperfocus, i HYPERFOCUS. 😅
I dry healed my first tattoo and it healed beautifully. Then I used aquaphor on my second tattoo and it healed beautifully.
I think all bodies are different though and even though those both worked great for me they might not work well for others.
Oh for sure!! Tattoo healing sometimes does take some trial and error!! ❤️
I do love your work man, But I am kind of with the others here. as someone who suffered at the hands of an alcoholic abuser, who did nearly kill me in a drunk driving accident... I still don't think David deserves to never tattoo or work again. he did the time, and maybe yes, the time was not sufficient but even he could not control that. But he still did it, he still got sober, and he hasn't offended again. and yes, he doesn't talk about Cody now, but I think it would be more disrespectful if he turned the man into a social media spectacle even if it was for fundraising like you suggested. and what is David supposed to do now? never work ever again? Like, customers are allowed to not work with him if it makes them feel bad but shaming him for having a job after going to prison is unproductive for any person incarcerated. I get this is from a place of being empathetic towards Cody and his family, but shaming David when he already has the burden of guilt for the rest of his life just does not help. We need to be empathetic to people in the prison system too.
This is really well-said. I know that a general sense of apathy towards people with a criminal record is sort of the "norm", but hearing Lauren talk about it like this still made me really sad. David will have to live with Corey's death the rest of his life; it felt very cruel to claim he doesn't care because of a lack of social media posts. The fact he has a career is something that a lot of people with similar records aren't able to obtain, which is a huge factor in recidivism rates.
Honestly feel very conflicted about Daniel, I can totally understand your perspective that he shouldn't be able to just sweep it under the rug, but I also dont think one action should define his entire life. (Do I think he should have got more time? Absolutely, but he has his record and that will follow him)
If he was already tattooing celebs before the accident then realistically he isnt going to just throw his livelihood away, yes he killed someone but he has to go on living. I also dont think his tattoo profile is an appropriate place to constantly mention Corey. Not to mention he also lost his friend, and probably feels immense shame for his actions, bringing that up constantly for other people's validation isnt a realistic ask, especially when half those people will call it performative. Him constantly mentioning it isnt going to undo what he did and honestly could just have a terrible effect on his mental health. To me, his apology honestly didn't come off as cold, just closed off, and again, with the public backlash he'd be getting, he is within his rights to protect himself because ultimately he has to keep living. (That might be overly sympathetic of me but I dont believe one action defines a whole person's character, and we can't know what goes on inside his mind. DUI is never acceptable, but he could well have died that night too so I can see him being more grateful for life in hindsight, and Corey also made the decision to get in the car too. It's an incredibly sad situation and its difficult to navigate.)
At the end of the day its up to his customers to decide if they want to get tattooed by him and do their research, I dont realistically expect any tattoo artist to offer up all their convictions on their profile, no matter how severe.
This is really well said. I just wish the people that were around them that night had had enough wherewithal to not let Daniel drive drunk (ie take his keys) or at the very least had made sure Corey didn’t get in that car with him. I feel like I have experienced enough drunk driving related tragedy in my life (I lost 4 high school classmates in a span of 3 months my senior year) to just assume passengers are at higher risks of dying than the drunk drivers themselves.
Agree! What is he supposed to do? I hope everyone involved can find healing and forgiveness.
yeah its really weird that a lot of people want the death penalty gone and prisons to be a place of reform and reintegration back into society instead of a place of punishment, but when that actually happens to someone they are mad if they ever see them mentioned working in normal society. So they can't be dead or mistreated by the state but once they are out we as a society need to make sure they are homeless?
@@Zectifin very true. If incarceration can truly act as it’s supposed to for many people (ie a punitive action that allows for reflection and reformation), why are so many also in support of this effective social incarceration that you mentioned? It prevents these individuals from fully applying and integrating what they gained from their time in jail. Additionally, I think this mindset plays a role in explaining the high recidivism rates observed in the US.
@dd4850 Sure, he is definitely responsible for his actions that led to his friend's death, but intention and circumstances still play a role. It does make a huge difference if someone is so reckless and stupid that his friend ends up dead, or if he sets out to kill someone intentionally. He was convicted after all and did his time, so in my opinion the best he can do is to make sure to never endanger other people again and be a productive member of society.
It's always weird for me as a child of an ex-con to see how other people go about speaking about ex-cons. Prison is about reform. He went to jail. It's sad that someone died but he doesn't have to make what was likely the worst day of his life his whole life. What people would and wouldn't do doesn't matter to something that happened and can't be undone so what is the controversy because when someone makes their whole thing about making amends that can be triggering to victims families too so what do you all truly want?
I agree. How do they expect people to reenter society after prison if they really believe they should be ostracized for life?
Thank you for speaking about your personal experience and advocating for less shame oriented at ex-convicts. Once time is served, that is it that, and the opportunity to be allowed to re-integrate back into life. The shame cycle from the public towards ex-convicts is what keeps ex-convicts coming back to prison, being in crime, to not being able to reform or develop a substantial life outside of prison.
Daniel of course, comes from a place of privilege and fame so he is in a different boat but I think the opinions we publicize is so all-encompassing that even if this shame was just reserved only for Daniel Silva, it still ends up affecting people's perceptions of ex-convicts as a whole (and also makes any ex-convict viewers themselves feel shame). People seem to have a lot of trouble accepting that two truths can exist at the same time:
Someone committed a crime, but they can also be allowed to reintegrate, back into society, reform and work again if they've done their time. To a lot of people they feel like ex-convicts deserve a lifetime of punishment and cannot be given the opportunity to come back to society and be a better person.
He doesn't actually seem to give one though for what he did.
I’m a huge fan of Lauren, I’ve watched the channel for years. I still will, I love your content. But I don’t know how I feel about this video tbh.
As others have said I do think the issue with the tattooist comes over a bit holier than thou. People can and do make catastrophic, life ruining decisions, without intention. It does seem that addiction was a factor in this, and it does seem he’s paid some level of price for what happened, even though it may not be enough. I think using inflammatory language like “murderer” isn’t helpful here when you also say yourself it was an accident.
I was once an addict and, shock, I found it surprisingly easy to fall afoul of the law even though I had the best intentions in life. (No one was harmed or anything)I hope all the judgemental people never have to find out first hand just how easy it can be to make a big mistake in life and regret it forever.
As external people, we will actually never know how the artist feels about what happened, but I think it’s not reasonable to assume he simply doesn’t care about his victim and their family.
Similar with Taylor from the other video, we will never really know what she’s been though and I wonder is this intrusive lens helping anyone?
Equally, I don’t know what it will bring to Ethan/ H3 other than stress, worry, and regret. He can’t exactly remove his tattoo now, and what do we want from him? An apology? For what?
I just think the channel has started to get involved in some really dark topics lately and I worry that it won’t come across well, when Lauren you are genuinely one of the few well meaning creators in here. Not trying to censor you either of course you do you. I will continue to support but felt I should say something.
Genuinely, no hate.
You kind of perpetuated lies that have long since been proven untrue. The initial reports about the crash said high rate of speed and drunk driver but that was pretty quickly dispelled. That stretch of road has been known as extremely dangerous and there have been many crashes. Daniel had been drinking but wasn’t over the legal limit, hence why he was never charged with any DUI related charges. Also forensics of the crash show that he wasn’t driving any more than 10 miles over the speed limit, which in California you usually won’t even get pulled over for. Corey’s family was initially understandably angry with Daniel, but after the facts of the night came forward, they wrote the judge a letter requesting that the murder charges be reduced to manslaughter. Daniel took accountability for his role in the accident and imo was never anything but accepting of the consequences he received. Also, he wasn’t trying to flee the scene to escape accountability, he was scared and confused with a massive concussion and brain swelling. When a bystander asked him to stop walking he immediately complied. This story is a tragedy and a reminder to everyone how dangerous driving can be.
I wish I could boost this comment a thousand times over. I normally don’t get this active in the comment section but I really felt like this story was not being told in its entirety. I really only remembered that Corey’s family had written the letter. Your comment immediately reminded me of the additional important details. Also, from what I recall police had released a preliminary report where they “alleged” that Daniel was drinking and that led to this crash. It really tainted people’s thoughts on this tragedy before the investigation was completed. It’s even hard to research this event because some of the first articles that pop up on google are based on the police’s preliminary report which was ultimately found to be inaccurate.
Unfortunately ppl don’t care that they are believing misinformation.
I hate when people spread misinformation
Thank you for confirming he was drinking and speeding.
That’s not true. 10 over in California will get you arrested no different than any other state! Driving somewhere that’s known dangerous and speeding is reckless behavior and was wrong to do. 10 over is a criminal offense and utterly disgusting at that. Someone lost their life over this.
From what I know the guy went to prison for this- the h3 podcast seems to support reform and rehabilitation. They feature a criminal defense attorney all the time. I don’t think it is possible to live in a system where society makes it impossible work (ie. Live) without referencing a crime you already served out the punishment for. To shame anyone who gives any business to an ex-criminal - not because of risk to themselves just in the basis of their past seems like a bad idea
do you feel the same way about convicted SOs then?
@@fawn2911 when I said “not because of a risk to themselves” that is something like what I was referring to -we do live in a society with a SO list and that seems different than getting a tattoo from someone who served time for manslaughter for drunk driving- should the guy be a taxi driver- probably not
This fool said reform and rehabilitation 😂
They feature that defense attorney because they find it so ridiculous the way he gets dangerous people off. So ridiculous that it's somewhat amusing.
Depends on the crime and the time given
it is devastating that his friend passed away. An awful AWFUL decision to drive drunk.
I am a person in recovery and have done awful things in my past. nothing like that but where i’m going with this is that we don’t know how daniel feels- his social media may not portray how hard it was for him to come to terms with what he’s done , losing a friend due to his own actions and awful decisions. maybe even addiction ( i don’t know)
people make mistakes. very very bad mistakes. i don’t know how daniel feels so i hope he realizes the extent of what he did ( i know you mentioned that his social media doesn’t portray this but in his personal life it may) 😢
rest in peace corey. this is devastating and i hope behind social media daniel has learned and really thought about the beautiful life he took.
causing someone to lose their life is more severe than a mistake. a mistake is accidentally leaving your keys in the door. your pity should be solely directed to the victim and his family, not the pos who chose to drive drunk knowing the risks. the man can't even be bothered to own what he did and discourage people from doing the same. at the very least he should be an advocate for victims of drunk driving and use his platform to raise awareness. but he doesn't, so your boohooing for this loser is pointless
@@fawn2911 The man literally owned what he did and discouraged people from doing the same in a video he publicly posted- I sometimes marvel, as a recovering addict myself, at the stigma and snap judgements people have for scenarios no one would ever wish to be in, and yet if you ask people TRULY how many people have ever driven drunk even ONE time in their life under the influence... it's not as societally rare as people seem to be willing to admit, unfortunately.
I also want to remain hopeful that Daniel can work towards atoning for his actions and that, despite how he may portray himself online, he is deeply remorseful. I know he received a lesser sentence after Corey’s family wrote a letter to the judge.
I don’t believe anyone who is truly remorseful is irredeemable. I do however believe that Daniel will have a cross to bear for the rest of his life and the only thing that will make it lighter is advocating for safe driving practices and supporting organizations that help families of drunk driving victims.
The best way to financially support these charities and advocacy groups is for him to use his talents. If you don’t want him to move on…what do you propose he do? He served the time Corey’s family deemed appropriate. He’s out now. He will always be haunted by his actions but in order to spread more awareness and do good in the world he will need to rely on tattooing and the money it can bring in.
I don’t think that people are advocating for him specifically. But I think there are a lot of people in the world who live with heavy burdens due to past mistakes they feel deeply ashamed of and remorseful about. I think what people are advocating for isn’t this specific guy, but it’s for people who maybe don’t understand how it feels to wake up every day with guilt hanging over their head to consider that they are indeed experiencing an unending punishment and no amount of stigmatization or self hatred or “not moving on” will be able to undo their mistake.
Also redefining the word mistake to mean something less extreme is a non-argument.
@dd4850 it’s manslaughter. he didn’t maliciously kill his friend. there’s a large difference.
the end result is equally as tragic AND i’m sure he deals with the death of his friend everyday due to his decisions ( which we may not see on social)
I always feel so warm and snuggly whenever I hear “hello my darlings” even if the topic is gonna be rough
I think the most important factor in whether silva is good or bad, is the fact that he said he would be an advocate for safe driving and then here we are three years later and hes done fuck all to advocate. His silence speaks louder than anything he could say now.
I truly hope he is supporting those who have experienced tragedy as a result of drunk driving through less visible means (like through donations or something). It would sit wrong with me if he tried to receive any notoriety as a public advocate for these issues. I honestly hope he fades into obscurity while still maintaining enough of a steady income to consistently send money to advocacy groups. I don’t want him to be the face of any campaign.
I honestly think that everybody needs a second chance. We don’t know did he changed as a person or didn’t. A lot of times grieving counsels advise to go back to your daily life routine for healing. Plus in a lot of states it’s legal to drink “a little bit” and drive. Very strange country. Also It’s hard to speak about situations like this in general so I can’t imagine how to do it in public. And I don’t think that we know something about communication between this artist and the family of his late friend. Mb they asked him not mention about all situation in the future, mb he has zero contact with them. Just my personal opinion based on what presented in this video.
Plus it’s really cringe to be disappointed or disgusted with Eathan, bc dude was grieving and just wanted a quality tattoo of his dog.
While this is absolutely terrible, imo being in a drunk driving accident doesn’t make you a *murderer*, because murder implies intent. I don’t have a lot of sympathy for this man, I don’t know him, but I don’t see evidence that he doesn’t regret what happened just because he isn’t talking about it on his professional pages. I think it’s up to his friend’s family to forgive him, not the general public.
Imo if you drive while drunk you are aware of what can happen and with that comes guilty of anything that can happen … or does happen.
@@treacletatts yeah, and he literally went to prison for what he's done. I just don't know what the goal is, should he never work again? Should all his public statements be about his crime? Imo that would come across really disingenuous. If he was bragging about it or making jokes I'd feel completely differently, but it's not the case from what I've seen.
I literally commented the other day to be like, “wait until Lauren gets ahold of this!” Yasssss
If he had come out of prison and gone into performance racing or something connected to how his friend died, I can understand where this would be an important discussion, but him advocating for safe driving is probably one of the best ways to honour his friend.
If he turned mourning for his friend into his brand and posted every day about it and then profited off that, THEN it would be disrespectful, and would likely hammer it home to the family day after day that Corey is gone.
I’m not in any way advocating for what he did, but the BAC was below legal limits, he wasn’t intoxicated, and I’m seeing a lot of information about the road conditions in that area having caused several accidents in the past. Also, it looks like it was Corey’s car, not Daniel’s. He didn’t flee the scene, just moved away from the car, and accepted vehicular manslaughter without contest.
It was an accident, and the vibe I’m getting from this video is that because of something that happened when he was 26, he doesn’t have a right to a future at all. I’m also getting the feeling he’s damned either way. He says he thinks Corey would want him to be an advocate for safe driving, and you find that deplorable. But then you also find it unacceptable that he isn’t posting about it all the time?
Watch this… ruclips.net/video/xOF2FSTfgGE/видео.htmlsi=3kU1MQR7R_zj6YQK
I gotta say, I do feel people should cut Daniel a tiny bit of slack for wanting to leave all of this behind. A classmate of mine was killed at the age of 15 in a drunk driving accident (she and the driver that hit her bike were intoxicated when the crash happened and she died immediately on impact, so at least she didn't have to suffer)
Sadly, time doesn't stop for noone and his friend had as much fault in this as he did. They were both drunk and he made the choice to get in the car with him. I do not condone this, but I do understand him just wanting to move on. As I said, time never stops and people dying is terrible, the family of my classmate is grieving to this day and so is the person that hit her. I think the only thing we can do is hope that he will never put others and himself in such a dangerous situation again! (I'm sure he learned his lesson though, seeing a good friend die in front of your eyes and knowing its YOUR fault must be terrible)
AGAIN!!! I'm not condoning the behaviour, I don't understand why anyone would drive while intoxicated, but thousands of people die every year because of this and his entire life shouldn't be ruined (career in this case) because of one fatal mistake he and his friend made.
Idk plz don't come at me for this opinion just thought I should say somthing cuz I have experienced something somewhat similar.
🍅🍅🍅
I agree except for the fact that I really don’t think any blame should be put on Corey in this case. They both came from a party how in the hell did no one around them not take Daniel’s keys out of his hand?! (I have done this more times than I would like to admit with friends at parties) Or worse, let Corey in the car knowing Daniel was drunk?!
Fellow foot solider here who also has been loving your videos since I found them, I would be very surprised if Ethan knew that this artist had been involved in an incident like this. He’s said the only time he’d get a tattoo would be to memorialise the dogs, so it’s pretty clear he is not paying attention to whats happening in the realm of tattoos and wouldn’t have known about this situation especially if it was a few years ago(if this happened now I feel like they’d cover it on the podcast?? Feels up their alley).
I honestly think Ethan was purely looking for an artist who could do photo realism, especially after the incident with the first artist, and not much else beyond that.
I agree that Ethan didn’t know and just thought the art was good, but surely before getting a tattoo you would think to google the artist? I’m sure this story would come up in the first results page
he doesnt know nothing bout no one. seriously though he will hate to find out the artist is a dui murderer.
I just… you would never ask a surgeon to do your appendectomy in your kitchen, so why would you ask a tattoo artist to do so?
truly i dont think ethan would have supported silva if hed known this. like im SHOCKED. what a despicable human, truly. and ethan has only shown in the lasz few years that hes very empathetic, at least hes always trying to be. i hope that hell speak about it in one of the next podcasts so we can get a better picture, but also i cant imagine how shitty it must feel to have had such a wonky start about getting your first tattoo and being so nervous about it, finally getting it done and being SUPER happy with it and THEN after all that, learning that the person who put their art permanently on your body is a murderer....like i would feel soooo bad, but i really dont want ethan to have to feel bad about his tattoo of his beautiful dog friend who he loves so very very much. what a shitty situation all around, seriously.
Silva is *not* a *murderer.* Corey LA Barrie was tragically killed in a car crash in which Silva was driving. Silva was driving far too fast and they were *both* drunk when he crashed into that tree, killing his friend. He did not do it *on purpose* and he just as easily could've been killed himself.
Silva is serving his sentence for manslaughter, a charge which *the La Barrie family asked the court* to charge down instead of the higher charge of 2nd degree murder. They did this because, although Silva was responsible for their son's death, it was still *an accident.*
Silva will be paying for speeding that night for the rest of his life. He killed his friend. If you think people on the internet can hurt him more by blaming him for his friend's death and ignorantly calling him a murderer than he does himself, you've got a bad case of main character syndrome.
And since I'm pretty sure Ethan *has the internet* he already knows about the crash and the court proceedings/verdict and clearly more than you do anyway. For you to assume he didn't know is goofy. He's on the internet. It was *huge* news when it happened. How could Ethan *not* know? Ethan said on his podcast, "should I talk about the other crazy stuff that people were trying to ruin it for me."
Why can't y'all just let the man have his tattoo of his beloved dead dog? Because the internet is full of *asshats* that's why. Moral of the story. Don't drink & drive and let ppl get what they want by who they want on their bodies. How is it any of your business to be *so* judgemental?
Ethan tried to incite his audience to bomb a NRA meeting. Ethan is much worse of a person.
@@feralhomunculusif you get behind the wheel drunk you take full responsibility for anything that happens and makes you instantly guilty. Stop trying to downplay this it’s gross.
@@feralhomunculusdrunk driving isn’t an accident
@@feralhomunculushe drove while drunk and killed someone… he is a murderer. If he was sober then yes it would have been an accident. End of.
I know a lot of folks in recovery for drug and alcohol abuse, I watched this video with one of them. They mentioned that a lot of people in recovery have horror stories of hurting or killing people before they got sober and are not those people anymore. I hope Daniel Silva is making strides to change, I hope he's considered getting sober so nothing like this will happen again by his hand.
I hope Ethan can reconcile this beautiful memorial piece being done by such a problematic person, but as you mentioned Ethan has his own problematic past; I think if anyone would be able to give some grace in this sort of a situation it should be Ethan.
What happened is HORRIBLE, but Daniel did his time, is he never supposed to work again? Should his life be over too?
Nobody is saying he should never work again it’s the fact that he put no actual care into supporting a family he stole a life from by being a massive idiot. The disgusting part of it all is him trying to hide it, not actually growing. If he did shit like donate to charities or families in similar situations like said in the video or yknow, actually even pretend to care a little, It would make the whole situation feel just a tiny bit less scummy and disgusting. He has no remorse and is an awful person
Did his time? He only did 1 year my guy
@@fawn2911 Daniel only ended up doing a year because Corey's family (the victims family) sent in a personal letter advocating that Daniel's sentenced get lowered to manslaughter instead of 2nd degree murder, from their own forgiveness and re-stablishing a new understanding of the situation.
They found out Daniel's blood alcohol level at the time of the crash was under the legal limit, and he was not driving much over the speed limit, and the road conditions were observed to be poor. This is information all within the court documents and also is public information, just so you know I'm not pulling this out of nowhere. This information led to Corey's family wanting to drop the 2nd degree murder charge and the lawsuit they had filed against Daniel and his company.
Corey's family letter wrote that they believe ''Corey would not want to see Daniel imprisoned for what now appears to be a tragic accident''.
Daniel still committed a crime, Corey died as a result of Daniel's negligence and recklessness. This is still acknowledged and still true, but there are reasons why the sentence was shorter, he was sentenced with Vehicular Manslaughter with Gross Negligence.
@@fawn2911 yeah, quite literally, he served the time hw was given. You might not agree with what the justice system decided for him, but he he did serve his sentence, that’s all I’m saying
@dd4850 not necessarily , I’m just saying that’s the sentence he was given and he served it,
yeah I guess instead of letting ex prisoners re-intergrate in society we should just not let them go back to work and have them be homeless. Then we can have the police arrest them again when they sleep outside. lets create a never ending cycle of prisoners instead of rehabilitating them and letting them go back into society.
I really don't know what you expect the guy to do. he just posts about his work and you literally showed a video where he says hes gonna be an advocate for safe driving. what is he supposed to do, make another apology video every week that you will call robotic? (dude looked dead inside, which I'd imagine how you would feel when you were responsible for your friends death and now have to "apologize" to a bunch of random people on the internet). is he supposed to find jesus or something? its not like he posts about drinking and partying or anything. its just his work. hes just trying to make a living.
This video is a rare L.
He hasn’t been an advocate, there’s no proof of him being one anywhere minus a crappy “save my rep” interview with TMZ. I’m not saying he should be homeless and jobless but with the job he has and the ammount of money he gets paid he leads a VERY privilege lifestyle. Ones that most decent humans who would never get behind a wheel after drinking could atain. There have been numerous comments on this video and I’ve had messages from people who know Daniel say he’s nothing but an arrogant asshole. He isn’t deserving of his lifestyle. Simple.
With peace and love, what is Silva supposed to do? Sit in a dark room all day and not continue on with his own life? Not work? He paid for his crime, regardless if you or others agree with the sentence he received. He still has a right to earn a living, and he is a tattoo artist. Bringing up his past crimes does no good for anybody.
Covered this…
Calling him a murderer in the thumbnail is a bit excessive. He made a stupid mistake and I don't agree with the fact he doesn't use his platform and status to help more. But I draw the line at outright accusing someone of doing one of the worse things imaginable. Putting drunk drivers on par with sex offenders and murderers is downright ridiculous. To murder someone is worlds away from being a reckless driver.
Do I agree that people should research their artists more? Yes. But the language and tone of this video makes it sound as if you believe that excons shouldn't be able to re-integrate or reform. So what, an 18 year old could make a dumb mistake and now has to life their life as a pariah?
I do agree that his punishment seems light, but if the parents of the victim are writing in defence of him it's hardly surprising.
He wasn’t 18 and bragged he couldn’t handle his car even when sober. What he did wasn’t a mistake it was selfish and careless. Drink driving is never excusable. The end.
@@treacletatts Why can't it be both - a stupid and careless mistake - that's fair! But the word 'murder' has a definition and you should use it responsibly, as I'm sure you would with other words that represent crimes against people.
It's been 3 years and you're annoyed this guy did a tattoo for someone that was happy with it? What is he supposed to do? I don't know anything about the case but I don't understand the logic here
I cover this at the end of the video …
as a massive h3 fan and a fan of yours I was wondering if you were gonna cover this!! I will say the episode where he showed the ai images had me in absolute hysterics and genuinely made me laugh so hard on a bad day... but I can't say I wouldn't have been upset if I got something like that back of my precious angel dog 😭 and yeah... when I found out who did the tattoo it honestly sat poorly with me. it's really hard to say if ethan knew about the artist's past or not, I just hope he doesn't think of that when looking at a tattoo that should be comforting him instead.
This video is disrespectful to Ethan, the tattoo artist, and the victim of the dui crash. You don't know if he's rehabilitated or not. You don't know he "doesn't care". And you don't know what his friend would want. It's a very big deal, but you don't know him or the victims' family. If he was attacked for speaking about it once it's not hard to see why he'd stay silent tbh
Atleast he got a good tat. Dan sould be giving back to the community so I can't fault him for giving the guy a chance. I hope Dan and his attiude has grown from this experince and I would like to see him helping people and hopefully people.can spread love and not hate.
Is it really a good tatt? The circle looks off
I agree about the majority except the social media gap b/c the artist may have an arrangement with the family or other situational things where he's not talking because they told/asked him not to.
I do not have a snack but I am certainly watching one! Work it!!!
🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
just some corrections. He never actually ran or tried to run from the scene he was heavily concussed and also drunk (obvs) not ok he just got out and was stumbling around confused i believe
Tattoo apprentice here, got a few things to share from what I have learnt during apprenticeship!
1. Numbing cream can definitely be okay, most of my studio artists actually use it themselves. One, when she was being tattooed by another artist in studio, did one area at a time and they worked together to prep the numbing cream on each new area before the artist tattooing her was ready to start :) another tattoo artist I know (she has a home studio now), who I was tattooed by on Thursday, had gotten herself numbing cream for her next tattoo too. Just test patch, make sure you're not allergic, AND work with your artist on it. Most times they'll have a preffered brand. Some artists definitely don't like it, just do your research with the tattoo artists, not just google :)
2. As an Australian apprentice, I also highly recommend Dr Pickles tattoo balm. Most studios here use it, they have vegan options too :)
3. Lauren is 100% about AI generated images, just do not use them, especially as tattoo artists!
I do not agree with your thoughts on Daniel you are acting as if due to a mistake (it may have been a deadly one but he obviously wasn’t trying to kill his friend) he shouldn’t be aloud to change.
If anything it makes sense for him to become an advocate for safe driving cause he knows personally what can happen if you don’t. Plus Corey’s own family asked a judge for a lesser sentence and I’m sorry but I think the people who were personally affected by this should have more of a say on what happens to the guy than a random person who believes they should never be able to show their face again of still make a living off tattooing.
I agree with a lot of your opinions but the fact you keep calling him a murder and holding the fact his friend died over his head when it was an accident. It wasn’t a case of he wanted the guy to die and did it willingly. He served his time which was seen as acceptable by Corey’s own family. Daniel is aloud to continue living his life and make a living. Personally if you believe if someone has been in prison for these types of things (not including were they did mean to and did it willingly) can’t continue to just live after being let go that is wrong people are aloud to change. Also it appears that he was never done for a DUI cause he wasn’t over the legal limit and even if he was most people aren’t thinking rationally when drunk you can’t go “oh he could have caused more deaths” cause he didn’t and you shouldn’t treat him like he had.
Why would he put Corey on his personal business instagram that makes no sense you are treating this guy to harshly. You really have no right to comment on how he should react you are not part of this situation. Stop using Corey’s family to excuse things you are saying when they asked for a lighter sentence you don’t know the family. I’m not gonna pretend to know what they think either but neither should you.
Edit: you kept mentioning that the family would still be grieving but so would he. He lost a friend and not only that he lost them because of something stupid he did I can not imagine the guilt he would feel and you can’t say what an appropriate way for him to show his grief it you are judging him based off public profiles he uses for business not on how he acts or what he may think personally. Also the crash happened on a road where crashes were know to happen. So he wasn’t drunk (which has been proven) and on a piece of road known to cause crashes.
As someone who just enrolled in university for a degree in illustration with a path leaning towards tattooing. AI art is such a slap in the face for people who have taken time and money to learn the skill of drawing/illustrating
That's a great like, tiktok question for artists "how heavily tattooed does someone have to be before you stop giving aftercare advice" lmao
LOL!!
For me, I think by my 4th tattoo the artist was like "Eh, you've got this right?" Like she still gave me a sheet I think but still haha.
Yeah, I think like once I had like 2 bigish and a couple random ones on my arm before they were like "I mean this is just filler, you knowwww"
Sooo.. you're saying that after being tried, convicted, sentenced, serving his sentence and having long term consequences (not to mention the guilt) this man is not allowed to seek forgiveness and move on with his life. He made a life showing mistake and he canceled for good in your mind? Where's the grace? The forgiveness? The compassion? He has to live with the death of his friend...he doesn't get to move forward and earn a living at the thing he's good at?
Tattoo studios are no cleaner that one's own home... it's the sanitation of the area you work in that truly matters. This artist tattooing in a home is not a red flag as long as he's doing all the safe and sanitary things. His drunk driving tragedy is not a judgement on how he conducts his business.
I typically agree with your opinions on these things but this time I think you're judging a bit too harshly...no?
Compassion...forgiveness...grace...❤
Whoa, was not expecting that second part. I've seen his videos on my Instagram feed a few times, loved the work but thought he came off a tad haughty. Didn't know much more about him. How sad for the family. I wonder how many of his other clients he has that aren't aware of his past. I'm not sure how I would feel after learning that information about my tattoo artist and knowing they aren't ever advocating for safe driving and taking responsibility for their past, especially with the size platform he has. Thank you for making this video and keeping us informed.
I was hit by a drunk driver a month after getting my license, I am lucky that I am alive. I still have constant pain I had stitches in my finger but I’m alive. I’m 10000% against drinking and driving. It’s so preventable too.
Ouch!!! My goodness I’m so sorry my love ❤️
My dad works in a jail in Canada, and from my perspective with his life stories in mind, I don't think people who committed crimes should be "avoided"/judged that much after their sentence. They have served their time. They have been judged. They are considered ok to get back to society. The price has been paid
By continuing to judge them when they did their time is to say "you are horrible no matter what you do now", and if this person is trying/wants to be better, being treated like someone who is unforgivable will certainly not make them want to pursue this path.
Just like the fox in zootopia
I loved tattoos for a long time (only started getting some myself last year - have 2 now but planning to add more), I watched Ink Master and I remebered Daniel Silva pretty good cause he got into IM thanks to Tatto Face-Off with Ryan Ashley on special season Ink Master Angels. I love Ryan, she's amazing black and gray artist. I remember Daniel from IM also. He was pretty full of himself. Yes, he is talented but he came off as cocky in the show. So when the accident happened and Daniel was linked to it I was following the case for a little bit. I saw a lot of news reports and YT videos about it. And every news about it was even worse. I feel so sorry for Cory's family and close friends. It was a big loss for them. I can't imagine how Cory's family must have feel after watching Daniel's apology videos. No sympathy, guilt or regret for what happened. He acted like a TV announcer reading from a prompter. And he literally just got smacked on hands when people who had less dangerous accidents where there were no fatalities ended up in prison for much longer, they suffered a much greater punishment. And he get back to tattooing right after he came out of prison. Just like nothing happened. I agree with your comment about this situation. I hope that Ethan (H3) don't resent his tattoo after he found out about Daniels past - cause I am 100% that he must have found out just after posting picture of a tattoo on IG or right after the podcast. Maybe Daniel wasn't that visible on YT for a past few years but he was pretty famous back at the times. People don't forget so quickly...
PS Sorry for any grammar mistakes, English is not my first language...
god, i agree with you completely on everything. it’s very nice to see a response this sane after spending too much time on the h3 subreddit threads
i don't have tattoos yet but ive wanted them for many years, ive searched a lot for inspo, compiled a whole folder and checked some local shops and artists works to find the style i want, but where im going with this is that ive never once thought about vetting a tattoo artist on a personal level. never even crossed my mind and i can't imagine if i find a tattoo studio and an artist that i like that id go in searching info on their personal lives to dig something up or something like that. i'm not saying people shouldn't check whos art they are putting on their body but that i understand why ethan might not have thought of doing that either. especially for a first tattoo i think ud be so overwhelmed with worrying if the tattoo artist is going to do a good job and not necessarily if they are a good person
Look, if it was my sibling I'd be telling Daniel to keep their name out jis mouth, so I dunno. I'm not gonna judge him on keeping quiet about the whole thing and going about his life when that could well be Cory's families wishes.
Wow ive watched h3 for yearsss was not expecting to see this! Also been watching since way before the podcast!
The tattoo he got ended up beign so great!!
EDIT: wthhh I was not expecting that the artist did that????
There's no way Ethan knew 😭 he's talked about drunk drivers and how stupid they are ect
Could have waited a day to post this video.. they got live Wednesday, so he's gonna talk about it? And say whether or not he knew
Shoud have waited
Ethan probably so upset such a meaningful tattoo was done by that guy
@@irisiris7549 Ethan Klein isn't exactly the bastion of morality lol
It sounds like this Daniel guy sucks, but it seems like you don't really know what you're talking about. First, when Daniel said he thinks his friend would like him to be a safe driving advocate, you accused him of putting words in his mouth and being disrespectful. Then you said he should post about what happened every day on his socials (like Corey's family would want to see that) and try to "make right" what happened. This is not the kind of thing you can make right publicly. It's between Daniel and Corey's family.
And also, "I would NEVER drive drunk" is a really bold statement. You don't make rational decisions when you're intoxicated. That's kind of the problem.
I'm not defending Daniel specifically, I'm just saying these situations have a lot of nuances and for someone who is an "empath" you seem to really be overlooking them.
thank you for mentioning the lack of aftercare instructions. i have 18 tattoos of various sizes and unless i’ve gotten tattooed by the artist before, they go over recommended aftercare.
also the artist’s apology for literally killing someone was so half hearted and sounded unconvincing.
omg!!! i can’t believe this got posted and i didn’t see it!! thanks for making this vid!!! 🖤🖤
Okay but when you Google Daniel it’s the first thing that comes up on him
To heal tattoos, I use Aquaphor because it's what the studio I go to recommends and I've never used anything else and my tattoos have healed great. My only complaint is that it's pretty greasy so don't use too much.
Looking forward to seeing your new tattoo Lauren, hope it goes well 😊❤
Thanks lovely 🥹🫶🏻
lmaooo never expected someone to make a video on this. no he didn't know because not everyone is going to background check for drama every time they want to interact with someone, especially not Ethan. also it seems like the guy served his time so why cancel him for life over an accident.
Not my instagram comment being featured in the video!!! 🆘🚨 LAUREN ILYSM AHH. But fr agree with you on everything ((as usual)) and I’m so happy to find out you’re a big H3 fan too!! Family !!
Ahhhh hi hi hi!!! What a small world!!
Personally I cannot stand Ethan, however I'm sorry for his loss. I can honestly see Ethan just completely ignore the artist's aftercare instructions because he basically zoned out and/or didn't care to listen.
Oh hell yeah i was hoping you were going to make a video on this!! I was thinking of you throughout this whole thing
That's Bs My best friend and his best friend got into an accident and the kid driving got sentenced to 8 years in prison for killing his best friend He's still not out yet to only get a year is freaking crazy
Driving drunk isn’t an accident. It’s a choice. And in today’s world it’s a very easy choice to not drive drunk! With Uber and Lyft at your fingertips there’s such an easy way out of it. There’s no excuse, ever! You know that driving drunk will cause you to crash and possibly kill someone, so it’s not an accident. They KNEW better. I am appalled by the supporters that are saying it was just an accident and he didn’t mean to. Like seriously?? Everyone knows it’s dangerous to drive drunk
Ive been waiting for this to drop.
I love this top, you always look amazing ♡
Thank you 🥹🫶🏻
I wasn't ready for this crossover but i love it
I believe in rehabilitation, i believe that people can be better and can do better.
Absolutely should they take the steps to do such a thing.
I mean he did serve his sentence, and i know that him not mentioning what happend because of his actions is bad. But i also dont think that someone should suffer for the rest of their life for something that happened in the past, or that they should not be able to work or continue on with their life because of it. Nor should someone be constantly thinking about the horrible things they have done without a chance at being normal again, because that would essentially mean suicide for them, unless what happened did so with malicious intent. Now, i dont know much about this man or what happened but it does not seem that he wanted to kill his friend, but that he acted in an incredibly stupid and dangerous way in which many young people (mostly men) do, so i do not believe he deserves the death sentence for it nor should he be ostracized from society. Either way if he is a horrible person then f+ck him.
anyway, i love you and your videos thank you for the entertainment and information you provide!@@treacletatts
The fan girl intro has me fully on board with this, and that tattoo episode was so funny but also sort of sad. Poor shredder
ETA: I feel it’s not fair to assume that the dude doesn’t care about having ended someone’s life. We don’t know what he’s thinking, or saying that he should no longer tattoo. I’m sure he thinks about it ALL THE TIME, the info on this is all over. He can’t escape it. Daniel effed up and he most likely already knows this, specially since he did time for it, but dragging him back to always grovel and carry this death won’t bring back that poor baby, life can’t be changed, we already judge ourselves really bad, and maybe that’s how he is, again we are not him and we can’t just assume for him, so do you feel it’s ok to assume he’s a heartless ashole who’s moved on, we are not judges nor god to press what we would do if we’d had been the one who drank and drive, until you really go through that. Do you want him to kill him self? We all feel, and go through things differently, and decide for ourselves how to proceed, if Ethan wanted a tat from this dude, that’s his choice, bringing up someone’s past and using that against them won’t change what’s been done, life goes on at the end of it all, can’t stop it. Yea he deleted the vid, it’s his account, yes that’s sucky, but it’s already been viewed.
I use mad rabbit tattoo care products, they’re great.
Jk I don’t, I just research the balms and choose one I’m most confident and comfortable with. I use one that has a deer on it, it’s worked great with both my new tattoos.
I think as long as they sanitize the area the tattoo will be done and wrapped as needed, it should be fine.
Literal tattoo expos and gatherings are a thing…. Right? I recall almost going to one, anyways.
There’s that, and I’m sure they sanitize certain sections and bring needle boxes to these events, so I’m sure when people ask to have them done at a different location, the tattoo artist is aware to sanitize and bring needle boxes along with the essentials 😂😂
Help me to understand. I agree that driving drunk is awful, ofc it's his fault that his friend died. Idk what his reaction for all this was and if he feels guilt, I honestly hear about this man first time in my life (I'm from another country). So my question is. Are people who did smth really wrong do not deserve to do their work? I mean, yea, I agree that it's a red flag for tattoo master, and I would think twice if to get tatoo from him. But he did his time in prison, mb, i can not know for sure, he feels guit for this. And in situation where person took his leason from what happend and never will drive a car while drunk again, does he not deserve to continue to do what he can do, what feeds him? Again, Idk who this man is, so my question more about hypotetical person I described. CAuse I kinda feel that point in the video that if you made a huge mistake and took his lesson from it and agree that what he did is awful, he does not have a second chance. I am just trying to understand and have no intend to defend some one. Ty
I'm always quick when I get a video notification from your channel ❤❤❤
I say this with the utmost respect and this comment isn't even necessarily about the artist, but more aftercare: the tattoo community is too passionate. Too opinionated. There are different ways to do things, and it doesn't make it wrong or right. And to blame someone for getting tatted by "the wrong person" it's just.... It leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Yeah, the artist fucked up but that doesn't fall onto Ethan. Sure he could've researched beforehand but constantly researching people and not giving the benefit of the doubt is kind of a toxic trait imo- especially if the artist reached out to Ethan first. You can't expect people to know the background behind every single person they interact with. It's unrealistic.
Now Lauren...the "killed his friend" line really made me pause and sit here with an open mouth for like a minute. I wasn't prepared at all. This is soooo wild jeez, Ethan really seems like the kind of dude to do background checks but..well
Im sorry but I dont agree with you. I know for us looking in and knowing he killed his friends it’s easy for us to go into mob mentality mode and completely sacrifice people. But he was young and made a mistake. He killed his FRIEND. How do you think that would feel?? You can’t specifically say exactly what people should do, everyone is different and you’ve never been in that situation. Do we want Daniel to essentially be banned from society for life, be homeless not make any money and just crawl up in a hole depressed thinking about his horrible mistake forever? I definitely don’t expect him to talk about it all the time it’s probably super painful. People have to be able to move on and live their lives.
Making a mistake is trivial things… getting behind the wheel of a sports car after being to a party and drinking is irresponsible and selfish. All decent people know this. He is living a VERY privilege lifestyle and as reported by many in the comments section here and on other platforms Daniel is very arrogant about that. I’m not saying he should be homeless or jobless but does someone so selfish deserve a lifestyle that many decent people could never attain… imo he does not.
always take utmost care when healing your tattoo. I've never had any but my gf got one on each forearm. the first went perfectly. the second time she went to the same guy and at some point the saniderm came loose. i told her to take it off and immediately wash it like the tattoo artist said. she wouldn't listen and though it was fine cus it only popped off a tiny bit and didn't come into contact with anything and had me wrap it over with plastic wrap. I thought it was a terrible idea but did what she asked. shortly after it started getting really painful and raised lines in the shape of the tattoo. we eventually had to go to urgent care because it hurt her so bad. both the artist and the doctor at urgent care said it probably was infected when it popped off and she should have washed it immediately like I said. She was in immense pain for a week or so and it took a long time for the raised inflammation to fully go away and scarred a bit. some of the color bled a bit but it wasn't too bad. she needs to go in for a touch up at some point.
so yeah don't take this too casually. you are making a massive open wound on your body. treat it like so or else you can effect the outcome of the tattoo and even your health and cause a lot of pain. were just lucky it was very temporary, albeit intense.
What a way of ruining a memorial tattoo. Ethan most likely had no idea and even if he did, yeah, it's a terrible thing, but his art is good, he's a professional and he has the right to move on since he's done doing his time. Let the guy enjoy his gorgeous tattoo done by, what we know, a good tattoo artist.
My tattoo artist always reminds me about the basics of aftercare, even though I've been going to him for years. I can't imagine any artist not going over aftercare, especially if the client's a tattoo virgin.
I KNEW I LIKED YOU FOR A REASON!! A fellow footsoldier! I'm never unsubscribing.
Don’t know how I missed this one! I love H3 and you! Crossover episode!
20:10 OH MY GOSH. When you said Corey’s name my heart sunk. I remember hearing about this story when it happened!!! I had no idea the tattoo artist was the same guy. Wow. 🥺
Never thought these worlds would collide.
I've had 18 tattoos and for 90% of them I used Bepanthen and never had an issue, and I dry healed a couple and also didn't have an issue I think they actually healed faster honestly, though they were extremely itchy for a day or two a few days after 🤣 All healed great!
Thank you for todays video, I could really appreciate your passion despite not being a H3 viewer. Great timing too as this longer video is accompanying me in the studio as I work on my art school finals. All the best from Australia :)
I have been watching a lot of the Ink Master episodes I missed and remember rooting for Silva when he was on Ink Angels. To say I am shocked would be an understatement, I honestly had no idea this happened. Absolutely horrific.
i personally dry healed my tattoo on my back and it healed beautifully i got in summer time so the only thing that ever went on it was sunblock a about a week later or so when my family went to the beach (im a pasty girly who burns like crazy so i avoid the sun at all costs but yk the sun exists) the artist was amazing we know her personally! and my mom is a tattooed person so she obviously helped me a lot with healing it but i also have very naturally dry and sensitive skin so i think dry healing worked well for me due to that every body is different!
Oh my god my jaw dropped when I heard what the second tattoo artist did. I followed him on RUclips maybe a year ago without knowing anything !!! I loved his tattoos but find him a little bit weird (like, his ego is huge) but I wasn't aware of this history... I feel so sad and bad for supporting him now. Much love to the family of the victim
Ah don’t feel bad, you weren’t to know as it’s been hidden by him as much as he can . 🫶🏻
I'm gonna preface this by saying I neither drink nor do I have a driver's license. I firmly hate cars and wish they would disappear together with the whole environment-destroying bs. And maybe it's because I hate cars so much, that I have a little more sympathy. Who the hell decided everyone should be able to drive killing machines around? One of my elderly colleagues hit a pedestrian a few months ago (he was injured but recovered). She just didn't see him. She wasn't drunk, she wasn't on her phone, she just... didn't see. I don't think she's irredeemable. I think cars are.
Similarly, in my high school, there was a group of 18 year olds who went to a graduation party. They all got in a car drunk, knowing the driver was drunk. They went off the road and all 4 of them died. Was the driver at fault? Yes. Were the people who got in a car with a drunk person at fault? Also yes to an extent. Is the whole existence of cars at fault? Also yes. And so is the fact that there are no buses past midnight around my region and taxis are either non-existant or impossibly expensive.
Also, some modern cars, especially suv are actively more dangerous than older, smaller cars. They don't have proper crumple zones.
All that to say, I'm not a fan of individualistic approaches to public safety. Should people who drunk drive face consequences? Yes. Should they never live it down. Eh...
And finally, I think it would be actively disrespectful to the family for him to post about the person he killed. I'd have an attitude of "take my loved one's name out of your mouth". It's not his tragedy to tell/exploit for browney points. Should he do charity stuff? Yes. But at the same time that would be super performative. I think he should say once that from now on he'll donate 10% of his income to "insert charity" and then do it and stfu about it.
poor ethan he was so scared to mess up his tattoo. weird that the artist didnt tell him about aftercare especially since its his first.
I am OBSESSED with how you've done your room! I would love to do the same one day, but I am currently in a London flat with no storage space hahaha
Could you do a video about how to do those types of in-depth checks on tattoo artists? Like what to look for and how to recognize shady shops/artists?
As a Brit who lived in LA for a long time I was often taken aback by some of the casual attitudes to drink driving there, although I'm also old enough to remember that it didn't always carry the stigma it does now in the UK either.
Very tragic story about Corey. People suck. This story reminds me of a current high profile Sri Lankan cricket player, K Mendis, who is currently playing in the men's cricket world cup.
K Mendis was caught on street cameras driving on the wrong side of the road, speeding, and killed a man on his bicycle...and drove off! Mendis was drunk as well. Of course, coz he's an elite cricket player, connected to corrupt elites and politicians in Sri Lanka...just read about how he got away with murder, hit and run and reckless drunk driving...and he was allowed bail for nothing! And did no jail time...was ordered to cover funeral costs. He paid shit all. Privileged, corrupt murderers everywhere. Thanks for sharing
Okay but at what point do we stop condemning someone we do not know for something that did not have anything to do with us, even after they've finished a jail sentence for what they did? People who do not have addiction do not drunk drive, it takes a lot of mental issues to risk that knowing what can happen. Hes not an uber driver, he is a tattoo artist. Just because you dont like his apology doesn't mean it isnt sincere. We do not know him. For all we know he is going to aa and working with a therapist, for all we know this haunts him every day. Is he supposed to be homeless and destitute for the rest of his life as a free man? How does ot helo him grow to make his entire social media presence about hiw he killed his friend because of addiction? How does it help his friends family? How does it help anyone? Not everyone pours their entire life out to the public on insta. You have no idea what he does in his private life to make up for that terrible mistake he made. Let people move on, the alternative is he kills himself because he wallows in guilt and decides to never do better and be a becon of hope. And for people who do not know him and are not related to the victim, it really doesnt seem like our place to decide the only way forward for him is to abandon his career and hate himself forever. I was interested in this video up until you started shit talking a man for something he is dealing with privately. Addiction is real, people are not their best self when theyre in the middle of it, and they do horrible things they woukd never imagine theyre capable of. Pretty disgusting to decide there should be no path forward once their sentence is served and they try to live life and do better.
