The tattoo shop is CLOSED!!!!

So sadly Dave is gone and my heart aches... but luckily my arm is throbbing with the sweet sweet memories of Dave Edge Tattoo Party 2008 Man Fun Extravaganza with Needles and Blood!
For the rest of you who missed the fun times here are some of the finished products that were in daves camera.
Tim Johnsrud of Theory In Practice got this show stopper. He is also doing the cage in Dave's glorious FC . This is the reason this party happened in the first place since Dave had to trailer it down from NH to tims shop in Yardley, PA. This tattoo is an homage to the old saying "Almost only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades" It was a great idea Tim came up with and i dont think Dave could have drew it any better. Its AHHHSUM!
My Lovely girlfriend Susan is having Dave do her whole sleeve this is the start of something great.It will be old time nautical theme, like an old sea fairing map.. This compass rose started it all off .
EVO Mike Hannan was back for some more tattoos . You may remember his sweet "EAST COAST FUCK YOU" neck ringer from the last tattoo party.. If not check the link in the first tattoo party post.. You have to see it ! This is his PA pride tattoo . The eagle is holding PA's state symbol the "Keystone"
Travis came through and represented his home state of NJ with this amazing work .. I actually threw him the idea for the hat and the banner. It is the "town motto " from where i grew up in good old Hillsborough NJ
And last but not least my tattoo.This was a sweet mind meld for Dave and I. We have been talking about this gem for months and he had the time to do me. I really really love it and think it shows Dave's amazing talent. It actually looks better in person you can really see the little details Dave puts in...

So its a little quiet around here without the Buzzing drone of Dave's tattoo apparatus. But the good news is Tim will be getting Dave's car done really soon and then we can have another jam session. Hopefully the next time Dave will stay longer and we will have a nicer chair for him to use. Stay tuned for updates on the next tattoo party.

I love every piece.
Dave is incredibly talented, and thanks to Matt for putting this all together.

Dave edge is a mad man.

We miss Dave...especially Tate. Next month, hopefully we'll have that room redecorated, with a fancy ass-pleasing chair to boot.

I grew up in VT, but NJ gets the tattoo honors.

Hammer Time = Best/Worst tattoo of all time!
