WE'RE MOVING!!!!
But fret not friends... we are only moving a mere 2 1/2 blocks! We are moving to 15A Division Street right off of Main Street here in Somerville. Some of you know the new Division Street is now a walking street, not for cars anymore. It is now considered Somerville's "Arts District", which is why this move is perfect for us and the town. We are all so very excited about this and we can't wait to open our doors and show you all the new layout. We will be opening the new show on November 1st! So for now, still come on down to Davenport Street. It has been a long process and the design work is all done, so we will be busting our butts to get it all constructed to our liking. As the date gets closer we will plan out one heck of a grand opening celebration and will hope all of you can attend. When you see what we have to offer in a new location, we hope you will all be so psyched as we are.

Video Game Tattoos Are Awesome
So I guess I do try and find time between LOTS of gaming to tattoo people. I love doing video game themed ink. I get so many ideas playing, and I like to think their influence shows. Big, bold, colorful, BAD ASSness! I want to do as many video game tattoos as I can, and the gamers DO get the elusive hookup on cool stuff so BRING IT ON! I'm currently working on a huge Starcraft piece now, so I'll post it up as soon as I finish. In the mean time COME INTO TO THE SHOP AND BRING THOSE KILLER TATTOO TATTOO IDEAS. Nerds, noobs, and sprites are always welcome.
Also, if you want to go toe to toe with me on Street Fighter or other fighting games, or help me out bashing mofo's on X Men arcade or Streets of Rage friend me on the XBOX- gamer tag Lou Morgue.
Beat me if you can. Survive if I let you.

Visionary Tattoo Arts Festival
by Lou Morgue
Another year down, back home and back in the shop. This is the third year Artisanal Tattoo had a booth at the Visionary Tattoo Arts Festival in Asbury Park. This is a really cool convention to do. The boardwalk is completely redone, lined with cool shops and great places to eat. The convention itself is packed with lots of great tattoo artists, vendors, artists, as well as live performances all weekend. You have the beautiful beach and ocean right there, and the convention center houses some neat stores and eats. Another meaningful facet is that it's a Jersey based gathering, many local shops attend and it's fun to work along side all of my tattoo comrades, to catch up all while supporting the NJ tattoo scene.
Despite the busted air conditioning, the festival rocked. We tattooed pretty much all weekend, inking a steady flow of happily tattooed attendees. Friday was absolute insanity at the after party at Asbury Lanes. Due to bad weather Saturday it was super packed with people all looking to get work done. Saturday night was filled with tattoo artist high jinx, tater tots and disco metal, followed up with late night ghetto chicken and pizza. This is why I love doing conventions. The adventure. The travel. The crazy nights and the stories told the next morning over breakfast. You get to meet and connect with people from all over, tattooing interesting new people while forging friendships with other artists and shops.
If you've never attended a tattoo convention yet and love tattoos and the tattoo scene I suggest checking one out. It can be a little overwhelming at first, awesome art, awesome tattoo artists, the buzzing of dozens of tattoo machines, and maybe a burlesque dancer or someone hanging from hooks onstage. Pick an artist and get INKED!
