Shop experience is a must. Must also be certified in blood borne pathogens and disease prevention. Scratchers, kitchen magicians, and drama acts need not apply.

Graceland Tattoo is a busy, fast paced parlor, located an hour and a half north of New York City. We host guest artists from around the country throughout the year as well. Our shop is appointment based but we also try our best to accommodate walk-ins when time allows.
We look forward to hearing from you.

]]> Lately I’ve been admiring so much black and gray work online – I’m a huge fan, in case you can’t tell. In the process I realized a big portion of what I’m intrigued by is what subject gain semi-lasting popularity in tattooing. (I’m talking owls, gypsies, vampires…)

But I think it’s safe to say vikings are unlikely ever become “a thing” the way some other subjects have. Come to think of it, I don’t think werewolves stand a chance in that department either.

]]> Evan Lovett dropped us a note to let us know he’s going to be doing a little traveling over the next four weeks.

The first stop will be in Atlanta, Georgia from February 1st to February 9th. If you’re interested in getting tattooed, Evan will be tattooing at Tony Mancia’s private studio. The Philadelphia Tattoo Convention is the next stop, and he’ll be tattooing at Art Machine Productions after that (till February 18th.) Evan’s last stop will be from February 19th to the 22nd at Born this Way Body Arts in Knoxville, Tennessee.

If you’re interested in getting tattooed, get ahold of Evan, and find out what he has open. With all of those stops, there’s no doubt he’ll be able to squeeze you in.

]]> Talk all the shit you want on themed flash sheet days, but under the right circumstances they are an excellent way for tattooers to help raise money for a good cause.

Case in point: Guen Douglas and Bob Done at Magnum Opus Tattoo in Brighton are raising money for the City Cat Shelter. Stop through the shop from 11am-6pm on Saturday, February 18th with your minimum £50 donation to get yourself a sweet cattoo - and help provide basic things for felines, while you’re at it.
