More Greg Irons

These tattoos are all on Sailor Cam.
These were done in the early 80's.
I took the photo's some time in the mid to late 90's when I bought a machine from him.
I'm sure they still look great.

Me and Annette did a guest spot here in the fall. The shop is awesome. Thanks to Jason Scott for having us.
Killer neon.
How a tattoo shop should look.
Great collection of prints and original art hanging in the shop.

Japan, was thinking of some friends there this week.

Caves in Enoshima,where the Samurai hid out in the 1600's, there's a cemetery in there too.
2nd biggest Buddah in Japan, near Enoshima. Made from individual cast panels.
Another national treasure of Japan, the beer vending machine.
Gus, aka Gusto Higo. The best machine builder in the world!

Gus at work, doing a lil rebuild on one of Annette LaRue's machines. A rollomatic type cutback she got from Lou Sciberra.
The economy is already bad in Japan and now there are rolling blackouts through out the country, needless to say he's not doing a lot of tattooing right now.
So professional tattooers, BUY HIS MACHINES!

Rollo!

Bought this one from Mike Malone at a Philly convention in '99 or 2000.
In Oakland in '02 I got him to sign my copy of "Bulls-Eyes & Black Eyes", which has this painting in it.
Never really new the man but, really enjoyed the few times I got to speak with him. I admire his take on tattooing and his work.
