I love great art.

I commissioned a painting of the parlor. It was painted by a friend of mine, Evan McGuigan. He is so talented with a paint brush. I'm proud to hang this on the wall.

Check out Shane Cashman's interview on Swallows & Daggers.

Check out Jr Tubbs artist interview on  Swallows & Daggers. It's written by my close friend (and Graceland Tattoo shop manager) Shane Cashman. Click the link, it's a great read!

Adam will be a guest at Off the Map.

Adam will be tattooing at Off the Map Tattoo in Easthampton, MA.  He's now taking appointments for Thursday November 3rd and Friday November 4th.  If you're in that vicinity and would like some traditional tattooing  please call Off the Map directly (413) 527-6574 .  I'm really looking forward to my travels and ready to do some clean tattoos.

Shop updates

So we have returned from the Paradise Tattoo Gathering. Diego and I had a chance to do some great tattoos. We met with friends and made some new ones. We had the opportunity to take a few good seminars and came back enlightened and refreshed. Pepper took a few seminars and had a minute to recharge his battery while Shane did some writing. Brian tried to recover from the drinking session he had Thursday night. And Allison came up Sunday to take in the scenery. A good time was had by all.
  
With that, our very own Pepper Maher has his drawings featured in the October issue of INKED MAGAZINE. Check out the "sketchbook" section. We are all really proud of him. He is an amazing artist. Pick up a copy and check it out!

Paradise

So Diego and I are heading up to the Paradise Tattoo Gathering. It's held at the Jiminey Peak Ski Resort in Hancock, Mass.The rest of the gang is going up for a little R & R. We'll even have a chance to take a seminar or two. Allison will be piercing at the shop. See you Tuesday!

Updates

So I had a good time at Hell City Phoenix. It was hot as hell.  I saw some friends and met some new ones. The rest of the gang enjoyed their time in Rochester. They did a bunch of tattoos while Shane interviewed JR Tubbs and Krooked Ken for Swallows and Daggers.

Next bit of excitement, Ty McEwen will be back Monday- Wednesday. Then we all head up to the Paradise Tattoo Gathering at Jiminey Peak Resort. Allison will be holding down the fort.
