Rhode Island Tattoo Expo 2013

Posted on by

Made the trip from Boston this past weekend at the 2013 Rhode Island Tattoo Expo.  Our 5 year old son won the Punks for a Princess coloring contest on Saturday evening, so yes we brought home some gold!!  and Carissa made some fun tattoos!!

We caught up with some friends from Sin Alley, Royal tattoo and holdfast machining.  We were also lucky enough to spend some fancy time with Kevin Borowski from Iron Hand Tattoo and the amazingly bearded Ron Henry Wells, And also bumped into the lovely Dia Moeller and black and grey wizard Carl Grace

Carissa made the expo video, look for her at about 18 seconds!

Peep the pics and see you next year!!

TATTOOFEST 2013 | TAMPA FLORIDA TATTOO CONVENTION RECAP

Posted on by

Well another tattoo convention in the books! Tattoofest 2013  we came, we tattooed, we came home.  It was a great time in the booth with Mark Longnecker and Jimmy South from Endless Summer Tattoo, Kyle Miller from On Point Ink and Chris Slota from Rockabilly Tattoo.   Mark took home a trophy with his “only Dave Navarro can judge me” piece and Jimmy South got robbed on tattoo of the day for the skin rip he got on his inner thigh!!! (pic is in the slideshow).  Carissa had the honor to sit in Bowery Stan’s chair and get tattooed, it was kinda crazy to get tattooed by Stan with Crazy Philadelphia Eddie Funk looking over his shoulder watching….even crazier when he cleaned it with alcohol!!

We made a bunch of new friends, picked up some new books and bought some new prints to proudly display in the shop.  The show featured suspension shows, classic cars, live music, vendors and artists from all over….see you next year!!

We survived the great blizzard of 2013 | Boston Blizzard

Posted on by

Well, we survived/ate our way through the great blizzard of 2013.  We broke out our shovels and forks, piled the snow and stuffed our faces.  We surfed some big icy waves when we could finally get on the road.  So we’re back to regular operating hours and regular eating practices (the 3 day long eating binge is over!)   Here are a few pics from the storm – mostly from our neighborhood because we couldn’t get out!!  but hey our hometown made the front page of the new york times

Gettin Busy!!

Been pluggin away for the past couple of months here in East Boston.  Had a great group of girls last week from Buffalo NY visiting Salem for some Halloween festivities.  They decided to get some tattoos to remember their trip by.

We’ve been sharpening our watercolor painting skills during whatever down time we’ve had.   Some pics of some of the work we’ve been doing and a sampling of some of the paintings we’ve been hard at work on are in the slideshow below. (all of the paintings would be available as tattoo’s as well if interested- contact the shop 617 418 5115 or wavenpave@yahoo.com).  The portfolios pages have been updated as well with tattoos and paintings

So, first off we would like to personally say THANK YOU to everyone for the continuous support over the past 5 years!!!! Wave n Pave would NOT exist without you! We are truly grateful for your business, and most importantly the friendships we have made and look forward to continue bringing you quality service, surf & skate supplies and tattoos for years to come! ♥

Needless to say the past 5 years has been a wild ride, we opened a shop, renovated a shop, moved a shop(and added tattooing to it), had partners, lost partners, learned some lessons (some the hard way) had children, hosted party’s, skaters edge trips, beach clean ups, had a booth at surf expo, done college fest, hosted artshows, featured in a fox25 zip trip, rubbed shoulders with legends and the best part……made countless amounts of friends along the way!! Again we’d like to thank everybody for making this wild ride possible….We would want it any other way
