Well, Lad is back in shape after a short illness and will be tattooing and piercing his normal days of Monday through Thursday from 11 to 7. I'll be off island from the 11th of August to the 14th where I have an appointment at 6;30 that evening and will be back at the shop. I'm not leaving the island until the 18th of November when I go to visit the folks for Thanksgiving and will be back the 22nd. I'll remain on Kauai until late February '09. Unfortunatly, tourism is down but it's a perfect opportunity for walk-ins. So stop on by and we'll hook you up. You might have short wait, but,we'll make room for you. Aloha.
Unfortunately It wasn't working out betwwen us and Jessie so we had to let him go. As of late we don't know where he ended up but we will let you know as soon as we find out. You can also see more Uncle Tim stuff in the June and July issues of Skin & Ink magazine. A new article about pinstriping(written by Matty Jankowski) is coming out soon. More Uncle Tim stuff will be on display in that issue, too, so look for it on the newstands.
Due to extenuating circumstances Lad will be taking on extra days so all you Lad fans out there can call him at the shop for an appointment. (808) 826-0114. I,(Uncle Tim) will still be on Wednesday through Sundays from 11am to 7pm.
The Long Beach show on the Queen Mary was a huge success and we all had a blast and made a ton of money....met new friends...and had a great time. Try to make it next year. My pal Robbie Rittenhaus from Cherry Blossom Tattoo in Atascadero, Calif., shared a booth with me and did well, too. We were nestled in between Joe Capobianco(pin-up king) and my pal BOOG...lettering guy extraordinaire!!! Tons of talent there and everybody stayed busy....the crowd was huge!
