hellooooo 2012!

      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!

Fun angel tattoo Theophile did recently.

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

-Theophile

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!!!

Heres some cool swallows and roses done by Ms. Jamie Ruth!

Yea....we like ta' party.

Some sweet little pistols by Jamie.

Come inside, have a nice cuppa tea!

Some really cool butterflies and heraldic roses by Jamie.

And we'll leave you with a work in progress from Donn. Coming along nicely!

Until next time folks. Have a safe and prosperous 2012!

Buenos dias senorita...

So this poor blog has been neglected for a while. We've been very busy at the shop these days, which no one's complaining about! We've got a lot of cool things going on this month including an exhibition in Southeastern University's gallery and the New Orleans Convention. Heres a little look at some things that have been going on at the shop lately. Enjoy!

Larry Bone

Theophile Bourgeois

See you soon!

Well hello there...

So we had no idea how difficult it would be to locate a good venue for our art show. We've gone through three potential venues which eventually fell through but were still searching. Apart from that, everyone at the shop has been keeping busy with new projects for the year. Heres a little sneak peek of some works in progress as well as a few finished pieces. Hopefully by the next time I post, we will have locked down a venue. Until next time, stay classy New Orleans.

DONN DAVIS

Here is Donn's latest drawing adorning the front entrance to the shop. May the dragon guard you.

Cool little dragon action on a manager of a popular night club in town, hope he wears shorts a lot at work!

This is just part of an entire back tattoo from the neck to the knees.

Slowly getting ever closer to finishing this piece, this guy's a really cool client and is wearing some of Donn's best work!

Small portion of a back piece of some chrysanthemums  and a snake.

LARRY BONE

A couple different views of a dragon leg  by Mr. Bone.

A little traditional sailor action.

This guy has been getting work done in the shop now for a while and  he gets some really cool tattoos. Heres a little koi action on his forearm.

This is the underside of that fellows arm.

THEOPHILE

My latest painting: Original is 11x14, making prints at 8x10 if interested.

Another recent painting: Original 16x28 making prints at 11x17 .

Sweet little compass rose on a cool chick.

Real fun little walk in. Cool client, cool tattoo, winning!

Finished this piece about a year ago, but never got a good photo. Think i'm gonna go back in there one more time to smooth out some things.

Finally got this gypsy finished. Lots of fun.

Handsome young devil.

Cholo lettering never gets old.

This painful jammer is on an old friend of mine who is actually an apprentice at a friends shop. Sat like a champ.

This was really fun and challenging for me.  My first traditional Japanese koi. It is also a cover up. Looking forward to finishing this one.

Merikuh' FUCK YEA!

Really fun piece on a friend of mine. The three butterflies are for his mother, aunt, and sister.  The wind is blowing life into the graveyard.

Some stargazer lillies and a music staff starting on the hip and climbing up the back.

2nd session on this manly chest piece. Merikuh'

We sure are missing our buddy Nixxin.
