Humpday Nonsense

Are you ever on Facebook, or Tumblr, or some other random website and you see something that you just have to share? ME TOO! So today is it born… humpday nonsense posts! Not that we don’t love spreading tattoo news, and amazing art, but sometimes, good old videos, pictures or posts that make you say “Holy Shit” are just as fun.

Without further adieu, he is a video, originally posted by our good friend and amazing tattooer, George Perham. This is a video of his friend who has been taken pictures of himself daily, for over 4 years. Now, I’m sure you’re thinking, “I’ve seen that before” because I have too. I think this guy was the first to do it. Ever since, there’s been a slew of photo diaries from pregnancies to hair growth even Homer Simpson. I have to say, this is the best execution I’ve ever seen, not to mention it includes tattooing… so it makes it semi-relevant. Enjoy!

Seeking a Portrait Tattoo?

Well, look no further! We have tons of choices for you! There’s a plethora of amazing portrait artists coming to the shop that would be thrilled to do a portrait of your parents, your kid, your pet, or anyone you fancy enough to get a tattoo of! If you’re interested in getting tattooed you can email any of these talented tattoo artists, through their individual pages, or you can send the shop a consultation form and we’ll point you in the right direction!



Matthew Davidson did this tin man tattoo, he’ll be visiting October 19-23.



 



Madison Casey did this Marilyn Monroe portrait tattoo, he’ll be around October 26-31, for Halloween a spooky portrait would be even better!





Travis Litke is coming for his very first guest spot November 18-23, and he’s not only a talented artist, but he’s a great time, so it win, win, and a super fun day waiting to happen.





Ernesto Nave is a sort of local tattoo artist not residing too far away in Waterbury, CT. We’re happy to have him tattooing at the studio February 1-6, 2012.





Stefano is a world renowned portrait artist and we’re lucky enough to have him come back every year. He just confirmed his dates for 2012, and he’ll be here April 25-29. Get your tattoo appointment with him soon! They always go fast!





Last, but certainly not least we have Michele Turco, coming all the way from Italy will be at the studio March 15-18. He rocked this tattoo of Michele Pfeiffer, who we all know was the best damn cat woman ever. I would also say this may be the best damn cat woman tattoo ever.





We are so excited to have so many talented artists coming through this year, and this is just a handful of them! Stay posted on our Guest Artist Page,  as we have many other guests confirmed, and we are constantly updating it as more set dates!

Su Part Deux!

Sorry, I couldn’t resist. Su Houston is coming back for her second guest spot starting this Saturday October 1 and she’s sticking around until October 6th. It wasn’t too long ago that Su came for her first guest spot, and we adored her so much, we promptly asked her to come back. 






We were incredibly impressed but not only Su’s ability to work in nearly every style of tattooing, but we were also taken by her casual charm and amazing bed side manner with clients. She’s got some openings so if you want to snag a tattoo appoint with her, walk on in, or give us a call. We promise you’ll walk away with a great tattoo AND want to be her best friend.
