Visitors From Afar

Hey! This Friday and Saturday, Jimison of Epicenter Tattoo in West Virginia will be coming by to grace the shop with his awesome abilities in the realm of traditional-style tattooing. Come by and get something cool to wear! Just stop in- he'll be here! Also- don't forget- Andrew Wesley Bennett of Rising Tide Tattoo in Newark will be here the week of the 17th, and of course, a big huge thanks to Jemola from Resurrected Tattoo in Syracuse, NY for hanging out and making some really killer art last week! Hooray!!

Current Events

 This month we will have two great artists filling in while folks take vacations. Jemola from Resurrected Tattoo in Syracuse New York will be here from June 5th until the 8th, and Andrew Bennett of Rising Tide Tattoo in Newark, Ohio from June 17th until the 23rd. These two make excellent Tattoos, and are great fellows to boot. If you'd like to wear some of their work, stop in while they're here, or contact the shop.
 We've still been having a lot of fun tattooing this Spring. Here are a few designs from the past couple of weeks:

Queen of the Bear Hunters.

I've said it before- lady-heads make great tattoos. Animal-heads are arguably just as cool. When they're combined, though, the design becomes so powerful and strange that you won't find many other comparable images. Josh's forearm- a warrior-lady clad in her slain bear headdress, tribalesque jewelry, and adorned with blue roses to each of her sides- is a good example of what makes this true. Besides this image being really fun to apply, Josh sat through the design in it's entirety easily, and left me to the details. This is how Tattooing should be!

Springtime Tattoos!

It has been a great Spring so far! Lot's of friends passing through to visit and work, as well as some fun travels and tattoo work for everyone at the shop. Here are a few tattoos from the past month-or-two, themed for the season:

Just A Reminder...

In the next few weeks we have three great artists visiting the shop. This coming weekend, starting April 12th, both Ben Mcqueen of Mass Avenue Tattoo in Indianapolis, IN and Jemola of Resurrected Tattoo in Syracuse, NY will be in the shop. Then, on the 18th and 19th of April, Derek Jimison of Epicenter Tattoo in West Virginia will be here as well! Feel free to come by and check out any or all of these guys' work, or contact the shop if you'd like to get an appointment.

 I've also gotten behind on posting some photos, so here are a bunch of awesome designs I was asked to do just before we left for Pennsylvania....

We're Back!

We have returned from our travels, and the Electric City Tattoo Convention in Scranton, PA was good to us once again. I've never been so honored to work among such great and talented people! Big thanks to Woody and everyone from Electric City Tattoo, as well as all of the folks who got Tattooed by us, and everyone who attended! Here are a few of the Tattoos I was fortunate enough to do:

Coming Up!

  A lot of good things are happening this Spring at the Tattoo Shop! Firstly, we will be closed Thursday, March 21st through Monday March 25th. "Closed?!" you may ask, " How can that be good?". I'll tell you how. During that time we will be visiting our friends in Scranton, Pennsylvania for the Electric City Tattoo Convention. We'll be at the Scranton Hilton Friday, Saturday, and Sunday with shirts, flash, and awesome Tattoo designs ready for your patronage. Come see us if you can! It's a great show run by great people!
  After that, we have not one, but two talented guest artists coming to visit in April! On the 12th, 13th, and 14th Ben McQueen of Mass Avenue Tattoo will be here. You can check his work out at www.benmcqueentattoo.com and contact him at ben@benmcqueentattoo.com. Then on the 18th and 19th our friend Derek Jimison of Epicenter Tattoo will be around!
