On August 6th, Chip and our shop's massage therapist, Susie will be arrested for charity! They will be taken to Magic City Music Hall and locked up as part of the MDA's 2008 Broome County Round-Up. You can "bail them out" and all of the money pledged for their bail goes to the South Central New York Chapter for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. The bail for each of them has been set at $1600. Remember, your donation to the MDA is tax deductible! We are hoping to raise their bail before they are arrested on August 6th, so stop in to drop off your pledge or we will have the link to the online donations done in the next week..

I will be working a couple of conventions coming up.

I also may be doing the Biggest Tattoo Show On Earth at the Meadowlands Convention Complex in September, but I am not sure yet, I will update with the links if I do.

Hey all, my friend (and wonderful canvas) just got her notice her first set is going up soon. Her name is Sting and she's a little hottie, check her out when you get a chance. Work is busy my wife and I are taking some time off in a couple of weeks to go to NC. Also I tattooed Campbell in February at the Philly show. Right now shows for the year are Seattle in August and St. Louis in November, I may add a couple of more. If anyone close to these shows wants to get tattooed by me let me know.

I'll be headed for St. Louis in two weeks for the Old School Tattoo Expo. I went last year and had a blast. It's being held at the City Museum. The museum is AWESOME! It's an old shoe factory and all of the building materials are salvaged and recycled. It's an amazing place to hang out and explore.

It's going to be a long trip, though. We're driving instead of flying this year. We had a horrible experience flying to the Seattle Tattoo Convention in August. It's kind of turned me off flying for a while, ESPECIALLY on JetBlue. I already have several appointments lined up, but if you'd like to get some work done I do have some time available. Just send an email to chip@artifextattoo.com.

I finally got around to making myself a real profile. Imagine that. I watched the SuicideGirls on CSI: NY last night. Very cool. I usually only watch the original CSI, but I couldn't miss seeing the SGs. I wonder of Nixon's new set was shot on the CSI set. I don't watch the show enough to know whether it's the same location. Not that it matters....

Anyway, if anyone out there is reading this, you might want to know a bit about me. I'm a former military man. I served four years in the Marines, four years in the Army and three years in the Reserves as a drill sergeant. But I've been a tattoo artist for the last seven years. I love what I do and get paid to do it. What more could you ask for? I own Artifex in Vestal, New York. You can see some of my work on our studio website. I'm also a member of Deviant Art
