Artists of Adrenaline
For those of you who have been into the shop, you will know what a
fun, welcoming environment we strive to create for everyone. As this
industry is getting more and more popular we have to try harder to
break down the negative stereotypes that are associated with tattoos
and piercings. A great solution to this was to start the Artists of
Adrenaline Series. These are a set of videos showcasing…

It seems like I can’t turn on the TV anymore without seeing some form of new tattoo “reality” show. While I do appreciate the antics and comedy that these shows provide I do have a few issues with the reality factor on these shows.
For example, I promise you that the full sleeves and backpieces that you see finished on these shows are not drawn up in 15 minutes time and tattooed in a single session. I’m sure…

My first memory of tattoos was seeing the greenish blobs of ink on my Grandpa’s forearms when I was little. Tattooing has always intrigued me since then. When I was 10 I started trying to reproduce the art I saw in my older brother’s tattoo magazines. By the time I was 17, I was running the desk at Supreme Tattoos where I later earned an apprenticeship. I started tattooing full time in 2007, pushing myself to learn as much as I could and make the most of my craft.
My favorite style to work in is my own adaptation of traditional Americana, but I like to work in all styles such as Japanese, black and grey, script, etc. Not limiting myself allows me to try new things and evolve as an artist. No matter what tattoo I’m doing I’m always happy to be able to wake up in the morning and draw on people for a living.

I have had the absolute pleasure of working with Aaron Lachance for the past six years. I can still remember the day that he started at Adrenaline. I was absolutely terrified of him, but it took about 30 minutes to realize that the biggest muscle on him was actually his heart. He fit in so quickly at our shop, becoming a sort of big brother to so many of the staff. Even though he was one of the most…
