Nautical Star

Adam's first tattoo with color! He sure was excited about getting some color today and I was happy to give it to him. This boy has been through a lot in his young life and he deserves a little bright spot in his life.
The question was asked during the application of this tattoo, "Why do people get stars tattooed on them?" Well, that is a very good question and the answer is probably as varied as there are people who get them! Traditionally however, stars were a favorite of sailors to remind them of the way home...or as a talisman to keep them from losing their way. That's what I've heard anyway and that's the story I'm sticking with!
Check back later and see what else is brewing at Greenbrier's best (and first) tattoo studio!

Evolution of a tattoo studio

Change comes to everything and everyone; change has now come to Artistic Ink Tattoo Studio. First off; we have a new artist! Everyone please come by and welcome Lee Richardson to the shop! Lee and I first worked together at Forever Yours in Lakewood, Tennessee. That's been a few years ago so don't go asking me when; you'll make me feel old!
Anyway, we both went our separate ways after we left that place and have bumped into each other from time to time but haven't been able to work together again until now.
This leads me to the other bit of change here in Greenbrier's best little tattoo studio; we are now piercing again! That's right folks! Piercing is back! Lee is a licensed piercer and does all of the standard piercings; however, don't ask for any of the exotic (pubic area) piercings. He would prefer to stay away from those (something about he's done enough of those for two lifetimes)!
So come on down to the shop and check out some piercing action!
