Saturday October 27th marked our first annual Halloween party for Tattoo Alchemy. We all had a great time and welcomed guests to celebrate with us in costume. The studio was filled with fog and scary lighting everywhere. The ouija board was out as well as antique halloween photos sprawled across the walls. Drinks were flowing and delightful treats. Here is a few of the PICTURES from our specially designed "photo op" area so you can share in the fun with us. Make sure to get on my newsletter to get a special invite next year!

Pomona's Fox Theater Hosts South African Rap Artist's Die Antwoord
Last night me and the crew from Tattoo Alchemy went out and enjoyed a show at The Fox Theatre in Pomona, California. Die Antwoord crept onto the stage and rattled my innards. If you are not familiar with the rap group from South Africa, do yourself a favor and Check um out! They worked it for about an hour and we had a blast. Finished the evening with some grub from Norm's. ZEF!
Black and Gray Teddy Bear Portrait Tattoo
Sometimes I get the opportunity to do portraits in-between all these crazy big asian style tattoos. This tattoo was a long time friend of my customer. She grew up with this night time buddy and wanted to keep her with her for a long time. If you are interested in getting your own portrait from me, contact me here.

Introducing the Apprentice Dave "D" Simpson
Today I would like to take the time to share with you my new apprentice. I know, I know I have told you in the past that I will not be taking on any new apprentices's. However "D" did not give me much choice in this matter. Dave comes from a background of tattooing and learning on his own over the past several years. However, he knew if he wanted to be taken seriously in this business he would have to do what it took to get to the next level.
So after several meetings and discussions on what this actually entails, the team of Tattoo Alchemy has welcomed him into our family. Dave will not be tattooing as of now, due to backing up and learning this tradition from the ground up. But to all his old customers and new fans, please be as patient as he is and rest assured he'll be slingin' ink with the best of them soon enough. I hope you will welcome him as we did and if you would like to stay tuned in to the "Life of an Apprentice" follow Dave Simpson.
