Brandon Bond
Brandon was born on the small island of Perdido Key in Florida. He began his artistic endeavors as a result of the encouragement of his amazingly supportive parents. He spent almost all his time as a child playing music and drawing. The growth of his abilities eventually carried him to College in Texas where he studied Fine Arts. It was at this point in his career when he first picked up a tattoo machine, and set down his musical insturments. This was an experience that forced a dramatic change in his life. [Read More]

Dave Tedder
Dave began in the industry as a piercer in South Kakalac, as a way to break in to tattooing. He knew from the age of 10 years old that he was destined to tattoo. The only thing hindering Dave was trying to learn in a state that deemed tattooing illegal. Not wanting to learn bad habits, he decided to seek out a tattoo apprenticeship. Since piercing was not illegal in South Carolina he used it as a gateway into tattooing. Being a fast learner he was picked up by a high end shop in the busy tourist mecca Myrtle Beach. [Read More]

Vince Villalvazo
As a young boy I had always taken interest in the arts; two arts in particular, the art of Lion taming and the art of tattooing. In 2005 I was determined to pursue my dreams, and since Michigan was having a shortage of sparkly costumes and untamed Lions; I decided to look into tattooing.
When I was a teenager I always had a fascination with tattoos, getting my first one when I was only 15-years-old (which is not something I recommend.) The fascination did not stop there. I began collecting tattoo magazines at a young age, and was intrigued by the various displays of artwork, this added to my heightened interest in the tattoo world.
Jace Masula
I was born in california, and my mother was a painter. She inspired me at a young age to express myself artistically. It is something that stuck with me for as long as I can remember. My favorite uncle had a few tattoos and I was fasinated by the concept of permanent artwork in the skin. It wasn't until I was in highschool when the prospect of being a tattooer began to entice me. I really had no idea how to get started on that career path, and it wasnt long before the reality of life, bills , and responsiblity took over my dreams of tattooing. After 10 years of working in countless restaurants, I decided I need to do something more artistic for a living. I moved on to web and graphic design. It wasn't long before the business aspects of that profession replaced the artistic motivations for my career change. It seemed like I spent more time at meetings and writing business proposals rather than doing art, which is all I really wanted to do in the first place.
John Lloyd
In 1972 I was born in Florida. Yeah, I am that old. My family moved to Dayton, Ohio when I was five. Go Buckeyes! I was active with the Boy Scouts from age eight to twenty-one. I now proudly wear my Eagle Scout tattoo on my left arm.

Matt Dunlap
I was born in an upstate NY apartment next to OJ Simpson. Born in a family that produced the first tight rope walker for Wild Bill's West Show and the creator of "Punch and Judy."
I moved and went through school in LKPT, graduating with honors in art, math, science, and tech. Then I got a degree from UB in 3D Computer Animation. Being a graphic designer for 8 years made me realize how little of my imagination I was truely using. Hell, I wasn't allowed toys in my crib or I would use them to escape. Expressing myself in tattooing has always interested me. And now through tremendous sacrifice and a warped mindset and a life time supply of hot pockets, I will conquer and destroy.
