So as we welcome in the new year it's customary to reflect on the year that we've put behind us. 2011 was a very eventful year for the shop.We participated in an exhibition at Southeastern Louisiana's gallery, we honed our biannual Sailor Jerry Sunday into a very successful and fun event for all, traveled to San Antonio for their convention and participated in the New Orleans convention. We also said goodbye to two very talented artists (Don't worry, they're still alive.) Nixxin moved to Austin, and Larry moved back home to Indiana. Both of them will be returning regularly to come hang out and tattoo so don't worry too much. We also welcomed Jamie Ruth to the Tattooagogo family. She recently moved back from London and will be with us through March. She fits into the daily shananigans around the shop very nicely! You should definitely pick up a tattoo from her while she's in town!
So enough of that. Here's a look at what's been going on with us these days!
Heres Donn's wall at the "Ink & Needles" show put on by Southeastern University's gallery director, Professor Dale Newkirk. Thanks once again Dale for putting on one hell of a show. It was great to be a part of this.
A water sleeve that Donn recently completed.
Just a portion of a body suit in the works by Donn.
Avery nice koi that Donn recently finished! Looks like that things about to jump off his chest!
Donn's take on the Seafood de Lis!
Heres a healed photo of a sugar skull Theophile recently tattooed on a diver client of his. Divers get great tattoos!

This was the clients first tattoo, and what a way to start a collection!

An Ed Hardy tiger.....always a good choice.
Another Sugar Skull from Theophile. Had a lot of fun on this one!
This tattoo is on Theophile's buddy in the Navy. The outline was done a year ago before he went to Japan. We promptly finished her up when he came home for Christmas!
On any given day this is how you may find our floor guy Matt bustin a move.
Here's a little photo from Theophile's White Trash Bash! Merikuh!!!
