You Got Questions? I Got Answers!

Well, Broken Art Tattoo has been in Silverlake for two years now.  Things couldn’t be better for the little tattoo shop under the stairs.  I am keeping very busy, working on various art/fashion projects, producing a band, playing with my new baby, and of course tons of tattoos.  Justin C is making a name for himself here in LA.  His tattoos are making quite an impression on the city.  Finally we have Der Wunder Boy Derrek de Apprentice.   The worlds greatest tattoo apprentice.  After spending a year at my side this boy has been unleashed and is applying some amazing tattoos.  I am very proud of him.

 

So how do you know if you are ready for a tattoo from us?

Are you ready to be the envy of all your friends?  Do you want to wake up everyday and feel good when you look at a specific part of your body…then  you are ready to get tattooed by one of the talented artist at Broken Art.  Our tattoos are usually appreciated by the sternest of anti-tattoo enthusiast…think of your mom or grandma.  That’s saying something.

 

Do I have some crazy stories…?

There are so many stories to tell.  There will be a video up soon of me tattooing Mr. Steve Montez of Ostrich Head. After a full day of work, I started tattooing his neck. By the end of the tattoo we were so tired…my back…my eyes…blah…we were standing side by side…I won’t give up…my hands…his neck…arrgh…Sometimes there is a bit of self-torture with the artist as well.  We know the recipient is feeling it.

 

I finished Chris’ Day Of The Dead President Lincoln chest piece the other night.  Very excited about that one.  While I was contemplating what colors to use next, I realized I was cupping his left boob for a good 10 seconds.  He didn’t even snap me out of it…said it felt better than the tattoo so he let it slide.

Thanks Chris.  I will have a pic of that chest piece up soon.
