Tattoos…The Greatest from Around the World

The first of its kind ,a tattoo song for a tattoo shop written and produced by Da Internz

because we are special to all our clients, friends, and family

I have been researching tattoo artists from all over the globe. The most prominent thing I’ve noticed of what they have in common is that, those considered the best tattoo artists are those who have fully dedicated themselves to art. They are those who never missed a day without challenging themselves, making the aspects of drawing and creating art a part of them, not just tattooing.

Part of my personal challenge is to keep up with such aspects of being an artist. I don’t want to be a duplication of already reknown artists; I want to evolve from their works, both on skin and in general.

Being an artist, while also a father of two, a brother of 8 siblings, a great son , and a business owner of two locations is tough, also and most important trying to stay a good hearted person, especially while trying to keep up with all the changes in business and in family life. Loved ones who don’t understand the passion shared by those who aspire to create through art usually suffer because they feel left out and unimportant to the artist’s inspirations. One thing I can do for both my passion and family is never to give up.For over 20 years, I have seen the progress of many artist and have been amazed on their results. Some of them went into hiding in order to discover themselves while others strive just to stay on top. It is very hard to be good and even harder to be great at what we do and what we wish to acomplish. I am greatful to all my loved ones for their patience with me and my ever lasting challenge:

TO BE THE BEST YOU MUST RISE FROM THE BEST !!

Welcome to my Passion.

Here are a few of what I consider to be the best black & gray tattoo art pieces from around the world.

If you’re the artist to any of these pieces, contact me so we could discuss the struggles that you have overcome to get to where you are now. Just as your art has inspired me, what you’ve got to say about your challenges will be fuel to aid my artistic growth and I thank you in advance.

I LET MY DAUGHTER TATTOO ME WHEN SHE WAS SIX. GREATEST TATTOO EXPERIENCE I have been through so much in the twenty plus years tattooing. I started tattooing at 13. The first tattoo I had done was putting my initials on a girl I was in love with, she had wanted her boyfriend’s initials but I decided to put my own instead. It has been a long journey getting to where I am today, I went from tattooing out of a garage for 5 years, begging friends and family to let me tattoo on them because I needed the practice, then from one hood shop to another. When I thought I was about to call it quits I joined the Marines, there I didn’t have to beg anyone to get tattooed, marines came to me daily and I learned so much and tried many different styles. I learned by trial and error. After getting out I tried going to the VA for help to open my dream shop and was told they could not help , just a home loan and I needed a secure job. It took me five years of hard work after dealing with the VA that I realized I needed to use what the Marines had taught me as far as writing missions and patrol orders to finally open Hollywood Stars Tattoo. I couldn’t let my dream just slip away like that, a dream I’ve had since I was thirteen years old. When I finally opened I had many artists trying to work here, I worked the first year completely alone because I was so picky about letting another artist into my dream shop. I was searching for good people with great work habits and customer hospitality. I know it is a lot to ask of an artist to be a good person ,but i cant work with dirt bags. I don’t want the bad element of this industry around the great clients that come into the shop. I want people to feel at home. It is hard to feel comfortable in a shop when there’s drama at the work place. It took another five years to of searching to find and fine tune the proper crew to join me in my struggles in making Hollywood Stars Tattoo an amazing place to get tattooed. The artist here will come and go, as we get new artist in they go through trials and I am very proud of those who survive the journey . Book your greatest tattoo experience today!! hollywdstarstattoo@yahoo.com ask for Erik let me know how we can custom your event. If I am not able to do your work I can set you up with one of the fine artist here.

If you have any questions please feel free to reach me at any time.

Please feel free to talk to me anytime!
Thank YOU,

I did it yes
I admit it yes
I don’t regret it yes
I have to face it yes
I did it all
Come to me
Pull me over
Take my money
Lock me up
See me fall
Leave me in shame
I did it all
I’m sorry
Truly truly sorry
I will succeed
I am cursed with the gift of me
I saw the gleam
It was the tone That convinced my need
It’s fate to me
I’m destined to bleed for the chance to succeed
Filthy from my deeds

I can say I did it all

I been there done that
And that
Some I would like to forget
But never regret

i wrote this poem almost 6 years ago just before i opened Hollywood Stars Tattoo. and i found it a few days ago. dedicated to the struggle of my life

the picture above represents a man at the hour of his death. there is a mans face ,a reaper with the mans screaming reflection on the blade, mother Teresa, and tomb stones. What do you think it means?
