King Harold II of England had a number of tattoos. After his death at the Battle of Hastings in 1066, his tattoos were used to identify his body.

I'm back from Roc City. It was a total blast!. It's always great to see old friends and make new ones. I had the chance to make cool tattoos and I even got a few of my own. JR Tubbs and Krooked Ken were kind enough to stick me a few times. 

I'm also really proud to say I had the chance to sit down for an interview for the online magazine Swallows and Daggers. I really like the site and visit it often so I was really stoked to have the opportunity. It was put together well by my friend Shane Cashman and if you have a chance, give it a read. 

The picture above is of me and Krooked Ken.

Don't forget for the month of May we will have the 3 hours for $300 special, that will save you $150!!!!!!  Special is from the hours of 2 and 5 so make sure you don't miss out on this special, and we are also taking appointments for it!!!!  Its about that time to get that sweet new tattoo before summer time!
