This a music installment of what is inspiring us at 12 oz. Legendary hip-hop group The Roots continues their onslaught of video releases to promote their forthcoming album undun. The latest highlights the Aaron Livingston-featured track “Sleep.” The album drops December 6. Starting my Tattoo career in Philly, I worked at a shop that tattooed and also did airbrushing. I was hire as a airbrush artist/tattooist. In 1998 I had the honor to meet and paint a T-shirt for The Roots keyboard player Kamal for a performance in NYC. I was cool to do art for a band that continues to inspire to this day.

So here’s the sales pitch, “Give them the gift that they’ll have forever.” Or hell get one for yourself. Many of our customers with large project tattoos are buying these to get the extra discount on their sleeves and back pieces.

And in the spirit of giving. From now to December 23, for every $50 you spend on Gift certificates, we will GIVE you an extra $5. And if you buy a $500 give certificate we’ll GIVE you an extra $100. Yes kids $100 extra. It can be all put in one Gift certificate or break it up into a couple. Long as you spend the right amount, you get the extra $.

Documenting Tattoo History Before it’s Gone

12ozstudios — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 18:11:00 +0000

Tattooing has changed a lot in the 14 years that I have been doing it. I once quoted, “that you can’t move forward in your future, if you don’t understand or appreciate your past. The Legends are either dead or growing old. Their legacy continues with ever stroke of a needle, their artwork or the machines they’ve left behind. Wether you are a new skool or traditional artist, these pioneers set the stage for you to shine.

For those legends that passed. We appreciate what you left behind. Every time people see a green faded tattoo, I see living history. We need to capture these before it’s long gone. Every time I’m out of the shop, I’m on the look out as well as my fellow artist at the shop. Here is one instance of finding living historical art.

This is Ed. Brendan met him at a local convenience store and invited him to 12 oz Studios to talk about his classic tattoo work. Ed is one of those old navy guy that everyone equated to the “type” that got tattooed. He first got tattooed in 1955 in Philadelphia by a man named “Pop Huff”. Ed was 15 and he used a friend’s ID that apparently looked nothing like him. Pop Huff put the swallow on his upper shoulder. Ed was also tattooed by the local legend Sailor Eddie. He was also lucky enough to be tattooed by Paul Rogers when he was working with Eddie in Camden, New Jersey. Ed referred to Rogers as “the old guy”. On Ed’s left shoulder is the classic image of the “gypsy head” and below that a panther head. Both of these were done in Japan by hand. They weren’t applied in the traditional Japanese tebori style where a group of needles are attatched to a stick. Ed described the artist using some bamboo and some other object to tap the ink in. “How long would this take nowadays? Half an hour maybe? This took 5 hours. Hurt like hell!” Ed is one of the few people still around that has collected some fantastic permanent pieces of history. Any time we come across these aging living canvases like our friend Ed, its really in our best interest to take the time to ask their story and show some respect to the original artists who decorated these colorful characters.

12 oz Studio at Time Attack- Millville speedway

12ozstudios — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 19:29:48 +0000

We at 12 oz are more than just tattoo artist. Our art is influenced by many parts of our lives. Here is a lil video of the 12 oz sponsored car at the Redline Pro Time Attack track event held at New Jersey Motor sports Park in Millville, NJ. The car was driven by our very own tattoo artist Jose Bolorin. The crew of Riff-raff was there to make this cold windy morning a lot more hilarious. All day running jokes and uncomfortable positions to pee. Bad aiming even though he’s sniper trained… ha ha. Follow us as you will see the silliness unfold as we some what conduct business in a professional manner… Yea this day was a business outing..
