2nd convention is the past month or so is done!! Had a great time in Rhode Island over the weekend. Ate some good food at the Cuban Revolution, Trinity brewhouse and Tortilla Flats – Providence definately has some good eats goin on!! Spent some quality time with the guys and gals from Holdfast Machining and Sin Alley Tattoo and made some tattoos too!! Sin Alley Tattoo owner Mike Fasulo had some of his rides on display right near the booth – the 4 and 2 wheeled varieties, super custom and super sick!! Back in Boston now getting down to some serious tattooing. More conventions on the horizon, we’ll update as they’re confirmed
We will be leaving Boston and be heading south again (about 1 hour south) to attend the Rhode Island tattoo expo. We will be sharing a booth with Amazing tattooer, sign painter and machine builder Ken Johnson of Hold Fast Machining. Should be a epic weekend in Providence!! Stop by and say hi if you’re in the area.
Well the trip from Boston to Tampa for tattoofest was a success, did some tattoos, hung out with mark longnecker and the endless summer tattoo crew, met crazy Philadelphia eddie funk, did a lot of driving and made some new friends! peep the slide show for the evidence!!
So Carissa is headed south this Thursday and headed to Tampa, Fl for the Tampa Tattoo Convention. She will be tattooing in the Endless Summer booth along side Mark Longenecker and Kyle Miller. If you’re in the area and want to get tattooed at the convention, please contact the shop or her directly if you would like to schedule an appointment. Carissa will be back in the shop on Monday April 2nd.
Been a while since we’ve posted a blog up on here, so here’s a long over due one. Been a mild winter, no snow, no surf…. thanks La Niña! On the bright side, we did get to see Die Antwoord last week at the Paradise in Boston…Great live show!!
So it’s been a crazy couple of weeks tattooing here. The USCGC Dependable came into Boston last week and a few of the boys came in to get some tattoos to remind them of their families while they were out at sea, real nice group of guys! Hope they’re keeping safe out there, wherever they are! We’ve had all sorts of work coming through the shop - script, black n’ grey, portrait work, big color pieces … we love it all!! Here are some finished pieces from the last we’ve done recently.
And here are some pieces that are in the works!

Hope everybody had a nice holiday season and are nearly recovered from the season of excess! We’ve been busy little bees tattooing in East Boston. Carissa and Amanda did some nice flash sheets for Friday the 13th and made a few nice tattoos. Check the slideshow for a small example of what we’ve been up to.

New for 2012 hyperflex has unveiled they’re a3 surf series. I recieved my 5/4/3 amp-3 wetsuit this week and a swell showed up with it!! Surfing in and around the Boston area in the winter can bring brutal conditions – cold water, colder air, wind etc.. so you’re winter gear is very important.
My initial take on the amp-3 wetsuit was that it was pleasing to the eye, stretchy neoprene, the thermal lining was very soft and good looking and at $290 for the 5/4/3 not too bad on the wallet considering the price of other wetsuits with similar options.
Now the actual performance of the suit. Getting into the suit wasn’t that bad considering it’s a front zip winter suit. The day i used it, it was overcast, air temperatures in the 40′s with strong gusting wind and the water temperature was about 45. actually a fairly warm January day. I surfed for about 2 hours, nice and warm in the suit, i feel that i could have surfed just as long in much colder temperatures. I felt very comfortable in the suit, not as restricted as i’ve felt in other winter suits. Even taking the suit off i didn’t need to contort as i usually do with my other suits and when i got the suit off is was pretty much dry on the inside.
Bottom line - I have no real complaints with this suit. no issues putting it on or taking it off and i was really comfortable in the suit. The build quality was very nice. This is an exceptional wetsuit especially with the $290 price tag (6/5/4 – $300). i would recomend it to anyone looking for a new winter suit, drop us a line if you’d like one of these!!
