Just got back from Iceland and Sweden, and had a great time. Much thanks to the whole crew at Reykjavik Ink in Iceland, got to do some fun tattoos, and met some great people. You know who you are! Thanks to Jimmy at Fisheye Ink in Sweden, "Spindelmannen!"
I seem to do a lot of portraits on the road, which is great, but I also like to do "cartooney skull thingys," ask for them by name! Till' next time, I leave you with...
Thanks to everyone that came out to The Hell City Tattoo Convention in Phoenix. It was a great turn out and we had a lot of fun! We recently registered our shop on the directory site Yelp.com. So if you have come to our studio and enjoyed your experience, help us out and give us a review!
We're happy to welcome Ivana to the states for the first portion of her guest spot at Off the Map Tattoo! She'll be here tattooing until September 7, and then back for the second leg of her guest spot September 21-30.
She still has some tattoo availability to stop by or call the shop to set up an appointment for a custom tattoo from an amazing international tattooer!
Joe Capobianco and Eric Merrill will be selling limited edition prints, new stickers, shirts, buttons, and lots more at theirDragon*Con booth in Atlanta this weekend!
Stop by booth BT11 to get your hands on the coveted, limited edition "Booty Call" Sketchbook. Only $10 at the convention and limited to just 250 pieces. Joe put together a book full of brand new sketches just for Dragon*Con!
Can't make it to Atlanta? Don't worry, any sketchbooks we have left over will go on sale in The Hope Shop when we get back.
Im back from Hell City Phoenix full of inspiration. Lots of good tattoos good people and good times were had there. The next show I will be working is The Worlds Biggest Tattoo Convention" at the Mandalay Bay hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada October 1st thru the 3rd. I am now booking appointments for this show. Id love to do some bio organic tattoos there, but as always will be stoked to do good tattoos whatever they may be, on anyone wanting to get work from me.
Hell City Pheonix was pretty fun, even though I was confined to a wheel chair and couldn't get wasted and play in the pool like all the other cool kids. Oh well. After the show I'm almost out of prints, so be sure to pick one up at TheBlopShop.com. I did some pretty sweet tattoos out there, Kelly Doty and I swapped buddy zaps, and got to kick it with Mike Cole, Jared, & Fam all weekend. They were super fun. Now I'm back in LA again, and booking appointments like crazy. In the studio I've been working hard trying to finish up these 4 big paintings I have been working on for a while, trying out some new techniques I've been picking up. Hope to post them soon. Now that I'm in full swing expect some gnarly new tattoos too! If you want to book an appointment, email me under CONTACTS and I'll be sure to respond asap. Check back soon for more dirt!
Alright cool kids out there!! This weekend I will be at the Boston Tattoo Convention. They changed it up this year with a new venue and extending it through Monday with lots of great tattooists and entertainment. Come by my booth and say hi, get tattooed, buy a print and grab one or 2 of the new stickers! My wonderful other half, Dave Marden, will be there running around all weekend doing his photo magic for the convention too.. So you better come out and play with us..
