Flash Your Tattoo

I’m going to give a shout out to an ex business associate and all around nice person who runs one of the best online tattoo clothing stores to be found on the internet.  Too Fast Clothing is owned and operated by Maureen a former resident of Albuquerque.  She has since moved her family and company to the Jersey Shore.  The site and the product offerings  keep getting better and better. So, even though I haven’t talked to her in awhile, I’m guessing things are going well. She sells baby clothes (like the onesie pictured here), items for the house but mostly tattoo clothes for adults. She’s been in the business for many years and is a good person to do business with. Visit her store – here.

Some weeks it’s hard to find new and fresh topics to blog about – I think of it as Blogger’s block and then there are the weeks where you find a gem like this and you can’t wait to get that post written.  This is one of those types. The talented young team working at Julian Murray Photography and Design from Las Vegas has some offbeat projects.  (Tattoos & Tentacles from Julian Murray on Vimeo.) They work in primarily the music, advertising, and fashion industries. One of the projects they’ve been working on this past year and plan to continue expanding upon is called the Tattoos and Tentacles Series. Check out the video – gives you an idea of the photo shoots. It features heavily tattooed people posing with a sea creature with tentacles.  It looks like an octopus. (continue reading…)

First let me say – I’ve never golfed.  Had the opportunity on a Disney vacation but there was a dress requirement – polo shirt – just don’t own one of those and I refused to buy “special clothes” to meet the dress requirements.  Well, if dressing in routine golfing gear has turned you off in the past, there is now an answer.  This online store called Tattoo Golf deals  exclusively  in cool tattoo golf gear. They have tattoo-inspired designs on everything from shirts to cool accessories for you to wear while you’re whacking your balls.  (continue reading…)

I’ve had other posts about Mike Devries and I’ll admit he is one of my favorite well known tattoo artists.  I was just beefing up his page on my tattoo artist’s site, and discovered a resource for all the extra projects Devries is involved in.  Reflected Art is the name and it only came about last year.  The project is actually a partnership between Devries and John Pyles, also known as Terminator John.  Terminator John is a passionate tattoo collector and the two of them brought together their different perspectives and their love of body art to offer a nice selection of related items.

Kreepy – not sure how that name came about but it’s the only one this famous pinup model goes by.  Kreepy Lourdes.

Kreepy Lourdes began her professional career as a pin-up tattoo model but was collecting ink well before thoughts of a modeling career crossed her mind.  Kreepy says switching careers came as a natural since learning the craft has been a passion of hers.  Kreepy is into “Old School” style when it comes to all aspects of her being.  You will feel as if you’ve been whisked back to the 1940’s when you walk into her place of business.   (continue reading…)

The recent HUGE popularity surge of vampires and all aspects of their world has led to more of an interest in all things vampire. The Twilight popularity has led to a surge in the young teen age group. Kind of a young version of the Anne Rice vampire series. Books, movies, and TV shows – love that True Blood – and we now have clothing and jewelry.  They were recently  mentioned in a big tattoo magazine – Rebel Ink– and yes, they even have blood vial jewelry. They carry everything you need from head to toe – the shoes, jewelry,  fangs, handbags, vampire bite tattoos, and even a cute tee for your little dog.
