Oh, Captain Howdy...

"What an excellent day for an exorcism, Master." 
Hiya folks, if you haven't caught a whiff of all the beautiful Godzillas sipping their pumpkin spice lattes---Autumn is here! And with the change of season comes fun stuff like Hallow's Eve and Art for Art Sake on Saturday, Oct. 4th. AND if you haven't heard among the social masses we're turning 5-years old AND we're throwing a party for all you haute totties. They'll be FREE FOOD & BOOZE and a lil song & dance by our boy, TJ, aka The Wicked Son. Among our spectacular show and festivities, be sure to check out other local shops along Magazine Street who will be participating in this event--all the event details here.
Lard Vader is #steadyslangin (*usage approved by TJ) the weekly updates to our very own #legendsofthevoid on both Instagram and Facebook. We feature different projects by each artist and we don't post the same photos--so be sure you are following both or else it gets the hose again.
There's No Turning Back from Tattooagogo New Orleans on Vimeo.

Yeah, so, Tattooagogo is now on Vimeo as you can see above. Be on the look out for shop videos and skits in the future. The above is a rad little time capture Donn did while tattooing the other day, non-Black Flag fans should mute this and play whatever uncool shit you might normally listen to.

And now a word from our sponsor, #TeamAcid. There's been new developments from the Nola Macklemore aka Ken without Barbie...like this crazy slime art "Expand" and the Nurse tattoo he recently completed. Check Ken's latest Instagram feed for more madness that will possess you like killing it softly is his song #allthewaybeyonce.

TJ's dope slinging is so potent at the moment every tattoo chiseled comes with a free 12-week rehab package (soundtrack by The Wicked Son). In the meantime, check out some recent shading to his Gojira piece and this rad tiger to add to the so fresh and so clean Theophile IV family.

And lastly what can be said about the Master of Puppets, Donn? Other than he demands all you hosers come stop by the shop on Oct. 4th to offer virgin sacrifices for the Tattooagogo Gods--and be sure bring your chillens with your momma & 'em. In the words of Donn "It's been a great 5 years and things keep getting better--hope see all ya'll on the 4th!"

Love & razor blades,
Lard Vader

Sail Away Beyonce


Well, it's been awfully hot here in the swamp lately, luckily the shop's A/C is as cool as the newly established Ken Cox Teenage Fanclub. If you missed out on the pun, be sure to fill your buzzoven with our previous blog post Behind the Wall of Sleep. Meanwhile, be sure to ask TJ about his recent massage. It fits in somewhere in The Nightman Cometh of "You gotta pay the toll troll--If you wanna get into that boy's hole..."     

"Let's get down to brass tacks here...How much for the ape?"  We hope you kids have kept up with our new weekly #legendsofthevoid on the shop's Instagram page...we'll be featuring old and new work done by each of the guys every week and maybe it'll even be something on your sweet peachy-ass!!


Story hour with TJ: Tuesday through Saturday from noon to 8pm.
Life moves pretty fast, and we hope you are moving with us as we introduce the latest trends in skin fashion, like recently Donn's Day of the Dead Teapot and TJ's Gojira (that's Godzilla for you 'merican folk) and Ken's bizarre skull, speaking of which be sure to check out Ken's updated potfolio on the website soon to feature a #allthewaybeyonce chatroom for a behind scenes look into the yachtsman himself with his new sailboat adventures. Deadliest Catch ain't got shit.

We love thy neighbors, and what better way than support Nola's Art for Arts' Sake in our backyard. This year is our 5th anniversary supporting this rad event. So come on down by the shop on Saturday, Oct. 4th, for music sets by Wicked Son and Durel from The Suplecs. We'll have shirts and prints for sale as well as art on display. PLUS---food catered by Juan's Flying Burrito and free beer and special cocktail punch prepared by our friend Jon Peterson of Barrel Proof.   

Next up is the Diabolical Art Show, brought to you by our friends at Scorpion Tattoo, will be opening on Oct. 3rd lasting through the 10th at the East End Studio Gallery in Houston. Donn, TJ, and Ken have all submitted artwork and there are plenty of others posted on the Diabolical Instagram feed. So check it out and remember it's not just bigger in Texas, it's wider too.      


How 'bout sum NEW TATTOOAGOGO SHOP SHIRTS...? (Ain't nobody got time for that!?)  Well, come on by the shop to get yours and we'll even sign your skin with a 3RL. Or drop us $22 at our PayPal account and we'll ship it to you (sealed with a kiss from our shop mermaid).

"We can't stop here! This is bat country!!" 

Ciao,
Lord Vader
