Hey, so it's been awhile since I posted on here but I figured I'd hop on and make a post about my new shop. So around last November or so my Buddy Benjamin Haft and I Decided we needed to change our situations. He and I split from our respective shops (Fun City/Three Kings) over the winter, my wonderfully generous friend Ashley Love let me work in her private studio while we built out the raw space (a former 4 car garage). We did just about all the construction ourselves with a tiny bit of outsourcing. worked 12 hour days 7 days a week for 2 months and 6 days and opened Allied Tattoo on June 9th. To say we're proud would be an understatement, we put so much into this space and we really hope it shows! I hope if you guys are in the neighborhood you'll stop in and say hey! The shop IG is : @allied_tattoo Our Individual IGs are: [MENTION=2514]Andy[/MENTION]jperez @benjaminhaft @josephbrycetattoo [MENTION=2050]IanW[/MENTION]time [MENTION=1694]SheilaM[/MENTION]arcello website: www.alliedtattoo.com And here are some pics!

Here you go dude. apparently he does it all the time. https://www.facebook.com/divinethegreat

Terrible cell phone picture, a little red n bloody, but you get the idea. Yesterday was a blast -- ran into @Perez and an hour or so later got one knee webbed. Hopefully we can knock out the other one next week or soon.. Thanks again dude, you're the best. No you are

Doug Hardy was here the other day and told us about being in a bar talking to a guy who struck up a conversation with him about his tattoos. At one point the guy said, completely seriously. "Y'know I always wanted to get a tattoo, but I never knew anyone that died." Thanks TV.

I love you.

No, we dont.

He and Gilsdorf are some of the best and most inspiring tattooers working right now.

You sure he hasn't been kicked out of there yet?

And me, jerkoff!

I went once a day every day it was up. I bought a big insanely beautiful scroll painting from Thom. Had the pleasure of meeting Scott Harrison, who was the coolest fucking dude. Got to hang with Binky and Higgs for a minute. Watched Grez tattoo some. Took a polaroid with DeVita. Met some nice folks, saw some people I don't see too often. Chris did an amazing job setting it all up, attending this is already the coolest thing I've done in 2013 and I have a feeling it's gonna be tough to beat.

...On second thought, maybe you should just let Tim pick out your dragon.

thanks man! swing by the booth!

Yep I'll be there, Myself, Ashley Love, Yanni Vera, Sean Rhodes, Matt Bivetto, Dave Ball, Marc Nava, John Poverty and Jeremy Whitley got a whole row to ourselves! should be a a good time!

Im here all the time, just get @gougetheeyes to call me and i'll come out

Last night a girl asked me why I had a butterfly tattooed on my hand, I told her "Because when you're an actual tough guy you can get whatever kind of girly tattoos you want."
