$400 Tattoo for only $20 bucks!!!

You heard right, Im giving away $400 worth of tattoo time with me, David Meek. Last Thursday, the 25th, my very good friend Dan Roberson was in an accident involving a train. He is currently in stable condition and awaiting further updates from the medical staff at Moses Cone Hospital in Greensboro, NC. He is the father of 3 month old baby Max. He is as good a friend as they come.

He was with me when I met my girlfriend Johnna, (who is also doing a Scentsy Wickless Candle Fundraiser, here, where she is donating all of her commissions sold for Dan.) He was there a year later when my our daughter graced the world with her presence. He was even there a year later for her 1st birthday which was in Ohio. He has been there for me a lot, and oddly enough 1 year later he is in need of me. The end of summer always has something in store. So here is how it works:

Tickets are $20 each or 3 for $50.
The Grand Prize is $400 worth of tatto time from me.( the tattoo is a one sitting tattoo)
Anyone that purchases a ticket though is eligible to receive $20 off any tattoo of $100 or more with me only!
For the Out of State Samaritans I will be uploading Original Art  as they are completed for auction. The starting bids will be $25 for original artwork.
The drawing will be held on September 30th 2011 and the art auctions will end the same day.
Thank you to everyone in advance. If you have any questions please contact me through my facebook page.

The Dan Roberson Benefit Tattoo Raffle

On August 25th, a dear friend of mine, Dan Roberson, was struck by a train. At this point his condition is stable but I still dont have a lot of details. He is a new father to 3 month old Max and this is not the ideal situation to find yourself in with an infant. He is in North Carolina and I am Tucson, quite a distance to make a difference, but Ill give it a go. Starting tomorrow I will be selling raffle tickets for $20. The prize is 400 dollars of my own tattoo time. The winner will be drawn at the end of the month. All the money raised will go straight to Dan. He will be out of work for 6-12 weeks and rent still needs to get paid, cellphones need to get paid. Diapers need to be bought and any of lifes other little necessities that might come his way.

My Girlfriend Johnna is also donating all of her commission from sales at her scentsy wickless candle fundraiser. You can order tons of cute stuff here and click on the Daniel Roberson Fundraiser or call her directly at 520-664-5533. Anything is appreciated and welcomed even kind words.

Thanks in advance for the support, and dont forget to take advantage of a getting a $400 Tattoo for $20 bucks. If you have any question regarding the raffle please contact me through my facebook page.

See you soon!

Free Art Delivered to Your Door

So its been a little bit since my last real post. Since then Ive relocated back to Tucson, am tattooing at Fastlane tattoo on Oracle. I worked the Lady Luck Tattoo Expo in Reno with Johnny Fry,Zane and Seth Liebowitz and Kevin Chasek. It was such a fun time, I look forward to working it next year with all those great guys.

I was also able to play host to another great friend Craig “Boxcar” Chazen, a tattooer from Buffalo New York. He stayed down here for a few days and tattooed my girlfriend Johnna, my friend Clint and myself. We also took him to Mexico where he ventured across by himself only to discover the true terrors of being an immigrant in reverse. haha. He is now safe and sound back in Buffalo minutes from the Canadian border and a great distance from our little border town of Nogales.
On the art front Ive also done a split sheet of Tucson themed  flash  with Clint S which we debuted at the Tucson Tattoo Expo. The response was great and very reassuring. We have sets available for $40 and that includes shipping anywhere in the U.S.
And Last but certainly not least I’ve decided to give myself a 30 day challenge. I will be hand painting an original 4×6 postcard everyday for 30 days. All you have to do is be the first one to send me an address and it will be in your mailbox within a couple of days. This is a project to keep me motivated and excited and I think I’m more excited to give it away to all my friends that have inspired me over the years or have supported my art. This project is for all of us. Well its been a great post, Id go into more detail but i’d be here for days.

Countin Down the Days

 

My last day at FX Tattoos in Ashtabula Ohio will be on Febraury 11th. I will be returning to the old pueblo of Tucson Az and working at the new Fast Lane Tattoo located at 3801 n Oracle rd. I am very fortunate to have made some great friends in ohio and the the surrounding areas. Special thanks to Jr “Kernal” Tubbs, Dustin, Jake and Jeremy at Fx. And lets not forget about Johnny Fry, Zane and Seth Liebowitz from Pittsburgh, Boxcar and Erich from Rise Above in Buffalo, Krooked Ken from MD, Timmy Tatts and Lowercase J from State College Pa, and Cooper in TN, and Kevin Chasek and Nate Deal from Nebraska. I am honored to have met all of you and call you friends. I will be back.

Headin Home

I have been staying really busy at FX Tattoos in Ashtabula OH, Ive got some new pics to share. I’ve also got some new ideas for new tattoos brewing in this head of mine. So for the remainder of my time in Ohio which is a little less than a month I’d like to do some really cool big one sitting pieces. And the same thing goes for my Arizona customers when I get back around mid February. I love to do some cool one sitting larger scale pieces.in the mean time here are some tattoos that I’ve had a really good time doing and would like to continue to do.
