Maybe next year we'll actually know we're in a contest like this and prompt our fans to get in on the voting!
Then we'll be #1!

Brandon is relatively new to the tattoo industry, however his work doesn't show it what-so-ever! His style speaks for itself, intermingling  a touch of traditional style into a splash of new school flavor,  all working together create the perfect cocktail of tattoo aesthetics imaginable.

Brandon is also a dedicated Neuma artist. Neuma is the brand name for the new state of the art, pneumatic air compressed tattoo machine. This machine runs smoother and is less traumatic to the skin than the traditional electric coil tattoo machine.

We welcome Brandon, along with this new technology to the Empire!

Welcome to Empire Ink Amanda!

GOT THIS GREAT EMAIL FROM A RECENT CUSTOMER AND I THOUGHT I'D SHARE IT WITH EVERYONE!


LOOKING THROUGH MANY IDEAS FOR MY NEWEST TATTOO, I RAN ACROSS MANY WEB SITES OF TATTOO SHOPS. MOST WERE "DUDE COME ON IN WE WILL GIVE YOU INK" THEN CAME ACROSS EMPIRE INK... THEIR WEB SITE APPEALED TO ME...IT WAS MORE ON THE THOUGHT PROCESS AND HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR TATTOO. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT STOOD OUT TO ME WAS HOW THEY TOLD YOU TO EAT A GOOD BREAKFAST AND EAT JELLO FOR VITAMIN K AND ABOUT DRINKING WATER AND SOMETHING ABOUT POTASIUM. SO THEN I BEGAN TO LOOK AT THE WORK THEY DID, I WENT THROUGH EACH ARTIST, CAME ACROSS TARA.

DON'T REALLY KNOW HOW I FOUND HER MYSPACE PAGE RIGHTNOW, BUT I DID.. AND NOTICED SOMETHINGS ABOUT HER THAT I LIKED, MUSIC, MOVIES, BUT ONE THING STOOD OUT TO ME THAT FOR THIS TATTOO WOULD BE MORE MEANINGFULL TO ME THAN JUST ANY PLAIN JOE DOING THIS TATTOO. TARA IS ALSO A LESBIAN WITH A GIRLFRIEND. NOW WHAT BETTER WAY TO MAKE THIS TATTOO A COMPLETE AND MEANINGFUL IMAGE ON MY BODY THAN TO NOT ONLY HAVE A FEMALE ARTIST BUT A LESBIAN ARTIST PUT THIS BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF ART ON MY BODY?
I WANT TO THANK TARA FOR NOT ONLY BEING SO GREAT BUT ALSO DOING SUCH A GREAT JOB ON SUCH A MEANINGFUL TATTOO THAT WILL BE PART OF ME FOREVER JUST LIKE THOSE THAT IT STAND FOR. STACY WAS SO GREAT TO BE A PART OF THIS AND GETTING EVERYONE TO PICK ON ME WHILE GETTING IT LOL!
WANTED TO ALSO THANK SCOTT FOR TRYING TO GIVE ME COOKIES THE ENTIRE TIME, LOL! THEY WERE GREAT COOKIES PEANUTBUTTER ONE OF MY FAVORITE LOL! EMPIRE INK WAS THE CLEANEST AND MOST PROFESSIONAL PLACE THAT I HAVE BEEN IN YET. THE ART WORK ON THE WALLS WAS GREAT TO SEE! NOT JUST A BUNCH OF TATTOO FLASH BUT YET TASTEFULL ART. FELT LIKE I WAS IN AN ART GALLERY AND NOT SOMEONES DIRTY BASEMENT IN THE BACK ROOM!

THANK YOU EMPIRE INK!!!!! I WILL BE BACK!!
