El Dolmago Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Hey guys, Sad news out of Toronto, the Okey Doke was hit by a fire last night, according to India's Instagram, they'll be closed until further notice - if you have an upcoming tattoo with any of the excellent artists there contact them ASAP. I know the shop owners here in TO are close so I imagine you'll see the Okey Doke crew guesting around the city.

El Dolmago Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) Fire started next door as an accident and spread through a few buildings. It was a four alarm fire. Someone lost their kitty but no one else was hurt - from what I've ready their machines and some of the art survived. No news on where everyone is setting up in the meantime. ____ Added on to say we talked to Franz today and most of the machines, books and art were salvageable and they've found a new location and will be re-opening in a few weeks - all around good news. Edited July 2, 2016 by El Dolmago some good news! guitguy, Gingerninja, polliwog and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/4469-the-tattoo-news/?page=7#findComment-127554 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Not sure if anyone posted about this previously. Is anyone planning to attend the 'Tatau' exhibit at the Japanese American National Museum in LA?

DJDeepFried Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 @Lance, @TrixieFaux & I caught the opening of the Tatau exhibit at the Japanese American National Museum in L.A.'s Little Tokyo last weekend that Taki from State of Grace put together. Saw some live tattooing which was very cool. Takes three people – one to tap, tap, tap and two to stretch the skin. Beautiful traditional Polynesian style tattooing that flows with the body. Definitely not your '90s tribal. Highly recommended. Here's a pic of Chris Nunez introducing the tattoo models.

rebrabk Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Best tattoo site for looking up ideas on cover ups, add ons, or just inspiration. You can even communicate to the artists. Definitely worth checking out!http://5cdc9nn--0kb3tco9u85cm0s15.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=18356 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/4469-the-tattoo-news/?page=7#findComment-130130 Share on other sites More sharing options...

sophistre Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 (edited) Dunno if this has been mentioned anywhere yet, but Greggletron/Greg Whitehead relocated to Atlas (also in Portland). Tim Lehi is apparently also there now. I guess anyone watching those instagrams would already know, but anywho, there ya go.

sophistre Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Here is some more tattoo news, though it's not very happy news. :( Art Work Rebels in Portland burned to the ground due to a gas line leak. 100% of what was in the shop was lost. Nobody who works there was hurt, but apparently the girl who was living upstairs from them is in the hospital and a bunch of firefighters also got hurt trying to get to her. Jeff Croci has set up a gofundme to help them get back on their feet. If you're feeling like you have a spare buck, I imagine every little bit helps. cltattooing 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/4469-the-tattoo-news/?page=7#findComment-130823 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear the same. Trouble Coffee just opened a shop in West O. Heard it's really awesome. I've loved their Judah Street shop for years. Miss Gullietta, although I've never met her.
