Band Members: 3rd ANNUAL TATTOO ACROSS AMERICA TOUR (2008)
In 2006 history was made when me and a group of tattoo artists created the 'tattoo circuit'...the first and only time a musician has toured at tattoo shops.
As far as I know I'm still the only guy who totes a guitar around the U.S.A. (and Europe soon) playing tattoo shops...
I'll be on the road for the month of August 2008 playing some of the most interesting tattoo studios in America...
