Nah dude it's cool... Aaron, and Richard are both getting over a stomach flu, that I am hoping to avoid... so yeah, I am being bitchy when it comes to beauty rest, tattooers need eyes and hands... Reparative rest is mandatory. He has an appt at 6pm, a huge panther... and notta... Tomorrow is OPEN... Say the words, and I'll start the usual question to get you in and taken care of tomorrow...

We were at the shop until 3am working on paintings, and trying to put out some stuff with Aaron print wise... Sorry, we're just tired of being on the road, and that means we sleep the fuck in.... till like noon.

Gill Montie is still tattooing... Sacramento, CA is where he's posted up...

Richard and I had a friend ask us if we knew any good tattooers looking for a station / shop to work in, so I figured I would toss this out here... New Shop in Silverlake, on Sunset Blvd, build out is done, and the owner/tattooer has been hard pressed to get a couple more sets of hands in the place to help take care of walkins... We stopped by the shop to check it out, and it's super nice, he's still getting art up, and putting finishing touches on the place, but he's been so slammed with people coming in, that he really needs a couple of experienced folks to help take care of stuff... Minimum of 3 years experience required, must have an online or physical portfolio, percentage will vary depending on experience, and station rental may be an option for those whom qualify, ie: you already have an established clientele base that you will be bringing with you... Must be personable, and professional, as well as a motivated self starter... I don't want to send idiots to a friends shop to waste his time. So please serious inquiries only... NO APPRENTICESHIPS, NO HOMEBOY HEROS, REAL TATTOOERS ONLY! Please send me an email if interested for a fast response: [email protected] Thanks in advance for any and all leads... Jen

We're back in Pheonix/Mesa, AZ for a solid week or so... Working at Aaron Coleman's place: Immaculate Tattoo... Immaculate Tattoo - Home come see us, get some work, or just come hang out... I have prints on hand, and some paintings left that are up for grabs... It's looking like we're almost done with this "road" gig... So, don't procrastinate, we may not be in heavy rotation much longer...

Here's a quick post of one he did on Thea Hogan, when we were up at American Graffiti, great shop, great staff, good times, and the place next door has amazing food! Instagram

Some new tigers.... We've been busy, almost build out time! Instagram Instagram Instagram

Your post and Tattoo Pic just gave me and the Richard the biggest smile, so good to see that guys work....

They look good, LaRock does clean work.... reads from far off. Works.

We are in Sacramento set up at American Graffiti we'll be here thru Friday then we are heading south, to work at Gold Rush. If you are in the Los Angeles/Orange County Area come see us next week starting Tuesday... I'm also out of the flash sets that Bob Roberts, and Aaron Coleman, and Richard did... message me or call the shops to set something up.

Amazon is like the evil empire of you can buy anything from us.... Even shit that just ain't right... Ask @ShawnPorter...

I can't remember for crap.... I feel like an ass for even posting without having the artist name... but it was too good to not post. I know he got it in Japan by a hori, all hand tapped/poked.... it was the smoothest thing I had ever seen.

A Japanese Version I nabbed a pic of at True...

@ShawnPorter When is APP this year?

HA... We lived in Florida for close to two years, just moved stuff to storage last November... We're coming back, eventually to move said stuff to our new place. Don't know when exactly... He has two or three big pieces in Jacksonville/St. Aug Area, I know those people will get heads up for sure, but I doubt well be back doing anything super official in a shop or at a show.... But yeah, we're due one last spot probably at Livewire Tattoo, or Inksmith.... just not sure on any of it as of yet.

I took a pic of a Japanese Version of the "ROA" it was a backpiece on one of the guys that works at Goodtime Charlies, in Anaheim, I can't remember who it was on, or who did it.. But it was badass... I saw this at the True Tattoo Grand Reopening while hiding out in the office avoiding the crowd.

I am going thru this right now.... Adding to existing work on back, by two other people... You need have a firm grasp about what exactly you want, for yourself... Make sure that you convey that you want an overall uniform feel and look... and be sure to find people you are comfortable communicating what you want and how you want it. Never let people cool guy you into an idea... When in doubt always sleep on it.

Most Corporate Conventions suck ass.... They treat the artists like cattle, exploiting the craft in order to pack in the people and make money not only from BOOTHS, and TICKETS, but smart ones also get cuts from Concessions, and Alcohol Sales.... Not to mention kick backs from sponsors, and other entities.... They need to make their money off that door, not the artists on the floor. Mustink, Rock the Stink, Body Fart Expo, and Immersed in Stink... etc, we have drawn a line in the sand, and even though a few people are trying to sweet talk us into partaking again, it's not worth it....

Either the end of this month or beginning of April.... Once Richard talks to Aaron well firm the dates up.

Welcome to Richard Stell Tattoos.com sites updated with Conventions, and upcoming official guest spots.... feel free to email me directly, or text me: 8314198589 or [email protected] thanks for keeping up with us...makes the road not so lonely.

Website's been updated: Prints in Stock, and Guest Spots coming up... Welcome to Richard Stell Tattoos.com

Actually.... I think we may be ready to head back down south. We're coming back to West Coast for SFO, we'll be back round that time I'm sure. We're just kinda over it. Ready to be home.

I noticed all your swag and details you post online... That's why I mentioned it. Fuck, I wish I had the energy to keep up with all the shenanigans, but my body, and back-pocket are happy to be getting a thickness to them that can actually get a new shop built out, and open. The only Art I am or would justify purchasing would be Hardy or Roberts, something nice for a private work room at the new place. Ehh, I am getting antsy sitting around Reno, I think I am going to check out some cabin rentals on the Truckee River, and call it the Tat-Lodge for the weekend. . . The only smile I can get out of all three of us in being in the middle of nowhere completely focusing on a ball, or fire, or... I smell burn out coming on, maybe a quickie in the woods is called for. End of ramble.

@Avery Taylor Keep an eye out for us... I am thinking a PNW run is called for... I'll get him as north as Seattle... To Ernie Gosnells shop, you guys will have to cross, it's all a matter of road conditions, and shop forecasts... Gonna hunker down here in Reno,NV... Hit Sacramento, CA then go to Electric Oni, in Petaluma, and then haul ass through Oregon to Washington... If he's feeling it. We're getting within reach of our goal for suffice shop capital, "Imagine that a shop built from money made with doing paintings and tattoos", hum, something to be said, hell even my Daddy bank rolled me in my first piercing shop... I have learned a lot since then, and I wouldn't dream of not earning this shop in every sense of the word.... Just keep in touch with me, I know I am not posting a lot of info as to our whereabouts and future plans, I am being really strategic. And just trying to roll with it, I'm so over being on the road, and each day can suck the life out of me. Between juggling all Richards Balls... then my own two tits... I need more hands. Multiple pun intended. I'm out of medicinals and I loathe the thought of venturing out of this room at this hour. Fucking Reno, I went to walk the dog this morning, and some euro douche, wearing mirrored aviator sunglasses, shorts, cowboy boots, and enough fake tanner and hair gel to sponsor the cast from Jersey Shore... HAY BaYYBAY'd me waiting on the elevator, to which I responded "you smell like tacos" and exited the elevator with Chinga, our blue heeler... I was in a hoodie, and snow pant thermals half awake...WTF. I laughed my ass off when Chinga took a big dump mid parking lot. . . Oh it's such a glamorous life...(bullshit).
