For the love of SUGAR

Peoples.

What's your favorite cereal?

Me, my number 1 is Cracklin' Oat Bran., but I miss the days of sugary stomach lining destruction. Crunchin that shit up, tearing up the roof of my mouth and  my gums. Flooding my bloodstream with sugar and bouncing off the walls like a methhead. The problem for me is all the formulas has been changed on my favorite breakfast bowlfillers. Peanut Butter Capt'n Crunch used to taste like a mouthful of heaven, now it tastes like cardboard. Sadly, others have fallen as well: Corn Pops, Apple Jacks, all taste bland now. I understand the need to make cereal "healthier", but you know what, I ate cereal then rode my bike around the neighborhood for hours. Cereal is cereal, if you want healthy, go eat some Kashi you hippie!

I miss the good old days. Kaboom. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Nerds. PURE SUGAR.

Forced to eat King Vitamin for health. Fuck that, I'm chowed down on some C3POs!

Let me know what you guys used to munch down on and current favs.

The princess is in another castle

Come get tattooed in Lou Morgue's room "The Arcade"

You've been warned.

 

the Arcade is a subsidary level in the Spiral Zone, located just east of the Negative Zone

I'm back, I'm busy

So I returned triumphant from the 2013 Philadelphia Tattoo Convention. Surprisingly I ended up doing video game themed tattoos all weekend. THAT IS FUCKING AWESOME!!  Let's keep this going people. Bring in whatever video game designs you have, I'll do them all! Finishing up a neato Starcraft piece now, so I NEED MORE!

My room is set up now. I'd say I'm at 98%, but at least there is bad ass art hung up, video game music rocking, great vibes and lots of laughs. I've been on a massive comedy kick, so be prepared to be buried in an avalanche of yucks as I try out and refine my new bits as I tattoo you.

Come and help me raid castles on Happy Wars on XBOX live. Mayhem and destruction awaits. Join me as I launch a rain of deadly arrows or unleash the blackest tornado upon our enemies. My gamertag is Lou Morgue. The Baron is on too so come join us as we take the Iron Throne.

The new shop is nice. Clean, efficient, the setup is really cool. We're enjoying our new home right in the middle of Division St. The town is trying to setup D-street as the arts district, so we're going to take that banner and lead the charge. Pretty soon we'll have some info on a huge grand opening party and some cool ideas for the spring and summer. Stay tuned.

I think I'm going to run a piercing special soon. Thinking of ideas, anybody has one fell free to drop them suckas on me.


See you all later,

Lou Morgue

Ok this is the final lineup for Sunday January 27th

10am til 5pm. 

A TON of cool shit will be for sale, lots of vendors hocking collectibles and such, and great art.  We're also we're setting up a huge art fusion piece that will be raffled off at the end of the day.  Be forewarned the drawing may contain a large amount dicks and vaginas. I am so excited, this is going to be a killer fucking show! BE THERE!!

10a to 3p

Artisanal Tattoo Nerd Flea Market and Tattoo Shop Book Sale!

tons of great stuff

lots of original art will also be sold!

On the last Sunday in January we are hosting our own little

flea market type sale at the shop. There's going to be multiple tables set up selling all manner of nerd culture: comics, collectibles, dvds,

gamer stuff, tattoo related stuff.

Along with all the good deals there will be quite a few artists there selling original art and prints!

Please contact Lou Morgue at Artisanal if your interested, we have very limited space and quite a few vendors.

This will also be right before our big move so we're looking to unload a bunch of tattoo and tattoo shop related items: 

reference books, magazines, surplus flash, and a bunch of other studio related items.

So come for the sales, stay for the conversations (or more than likely the debates!)

I'll post more info as it comes in, as well as a list of some of the vendors and what they're selling

Holy crap!  

Xmas is right around the corner, 

what do I get for that special person in my life?

A gift certificate from Artisanal Tattoo

I feel giving someone the gift of ink is one of the best things you can do.  Purchase a gift certificate today in any amount,

right up Sunday, December 23rd. (for those last minute shoppers)  

To sweeten the deal we're adding 10% for every $100.00

you spend. That means: $100.00 = $110.00

                                           $200 = $220.00

                                           $300.00 = $330.00 and so on.

We're also running a piercing special, get your belly button pierced and receive an additional piece of navel jewelry for FREE!

Take $10.00 off all other piercings for the month of DECEMBER! (excluding navel)

Buy one, get one half off sales on navel jewelry, all plugs, and barbells!
(you can also mix and match: buy a set of plugs, get a 
barbell half off, buy a barbell, half off a navel ring, ect)

So give the gift that will last a lifetime!

Happy Holiday from the gang at Artisanal Tattoo!!

  

           

The Superstorm  is over.

Artisanal Tattoo reopened our doors after getting power back almost a week after. I finally got my power back a full week later and it feels great to be back at work slinging ink!

Being an EMT, I'm included in all of the thanks showered on the first responders. We had to go out there in the danger, regardless of whatever conditions we had at home, putting ourselves last after the needs of others. All of the police, firefighters, emergency medical personnel, and all that lent a helping hand during and after disaster get our many thanks.

I want to take this time and thank the people no one ever seems to remember.  All of the clerks, sandwich makers, wait staff and servers, retail workers, gas station attendants, and ESPECIALLY the coffee shop employees. All of you that came to work despite whatever problems you left at home, the shitty pay, the exhausted customers, you all made it to your jobs and helped maintain a degree of normalcy amidst the chaos.

So on behalf of myself and the staff at Artisanal Tattoo, 

THANK YOU!!!!!!!

Lou Morgue


ps, Nart rules!
