Iron Tiger Tuesday

Well, another week down, another weekly update.  A few of our guys were on the road over the weekend.  Colin and Sid spent the weekend tattooing and piercing down at A1 World Famous Tattooing in Lake of the Ozarks.  Our friend Casey came up to cover one of Colin’s shifts.  Lars spent the weekend tattooing at All Star Tattoo and Trader Bobs Tattoo Shop in St. Louis.

Just as a reminder Gabe, Colin, and Cody will be tattooing at the Ink and Iron tattoo convention in Long Beach on June 7-9.  Hit them up for appointments if you’re going to be in the area.  Also, for those of you in town, Go to Katy’s going away/birthday party tomorrow (May 29) at Roxy’s so we can send her off in sloppy drunk Como style.

It was an interesting week at the shop.  Alot of the locals were out of town for the holiday weekend but we still managed to stay occupied with some cool projects.  Take a look.

 

Colin did another session on Dirty Cody’s chest piece.

Iron Tiger Tuesday

This week the Tuesday update is actually on time, imagine that.  Despite MU’s graduation slowing the shop down a bit this weekend we still managed to grind out a decent amount of cool tattoos. I’ve got a bunch of pics for you today.

Our good friend Josh “Chappy” Chapman from Iron Age came in for a visit over the weekend to work on some pieces he has in progress.  He also DJ’d at Roxy’s on Saturday night.  It was alot of fun having him in town.  The man has rad prints for sale if you’re in the market for some new decor.

We were all excited to see the new Iron Tiger stickers arrive this weekend. There are two different designs available.  Feel free to stop by the shop and grab a few.

The first five pictures I have for you today are from Cody.

Iron Tiger Tuesday (Thursday) – Better Late Than Never

So ya, due to visiting relatives the Iron Tiger Tuesday update has been pushed back a couple of days this week.  Sorry about that.  I’ve got photos for you of pretty much everyone.  Colin sustained a nasty gash in his leg the other day.  Some drunk girl on a bike ran into him and the bottle of booze she had in her water bottle holder shattered and sliced his leg open.  Other than that it was a decent week.

Katy is going to be moving soon.  Go party with her for her Going Away/Birthday party on May 29th at Roxy’s.

Being that this is a College town and it’s the end of the semester I’m sure alot of you know someone who just graduated.  Iron Tiger gift certificates are great for any occasion including but not limited to belated graduation presents. Just sayin’…

Here’s Lars finishing up a starfish on a knee.  He also did that bitchin’ girl head.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here’s a couple pieces Gabe worked on recently.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Colin and Morgan hanging out.  Also a cool geometric design Colin did on a walk-in.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here’s a couple roses for you.  Angie did the first, Cody did the second.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here’s a few fun ones Moe did this week.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Katy did this one on our counter guy Dirty Cody.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Miss Morgan hard at work.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That’s it until next Tuesday.  Take it easy.

Iron Tiger Tuesday

Well it’s that time again, welcome back for another Iron Tiger Tuesday update.  It’s been a whirlwind week for everyone at the shop.  Between weddings, friends visiting, guest spots, baby birthdays, bro tats, etc. it was hard to keep an eye on what was going on around the shop.

Obviously, the big news of the week was Dan and Lauren’s wedding on Saturday.  It was held at Les Bourgeois Vineyards which overlook the Missouri River.  The ceremony and reception were fantastic.  We closed the shop for the day so that everyone could attend.  Our friend Jen even managed to make it in from LA.   Tony and Jasmine came in from Las Vegas to shoot the photos for the wedding so if you’re looking for wedding pictures I’d start with them.   All in all it was an amazing day and I feel honored to have been asked to be a part of it.  Congratulations you guys.

Aside from all the outside happenings of the week the shop seemed to run as smooth as usual.  It was your typical wash of walk-ins and appointments.  Colin and Katy did guest spots at Iron Age over the weekend.  Moe and Morgan went down to Florida for a few days.  That’s about all I’ve got for now.  Lets look at some pictures.

Lars started the line work on a Missouri folklore monster half sleeve on our friend/counter guy Adam.  He also did that bitchin’ hot air balloon.

Yes Dan, we’re all very happy for you…now quit dicking around on your “honeymoon” and get back to work.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That’s it for this week guys.  Hopefully I’ll have more pictures for you next week.  Take it easy.

Iron Tiger Tuesday

Well it’s Tuesday again and that  means another Iron Tiger Tuesday update.  All in all we had a good week at the shop.  Between appointments and fun, sometimes unexpected walk-ins it seemed like everyone got to do some cool tattoos.  Like I mentioned last time, Mikey from Mercy Seat Tattoo was here tattooing and hanging out for most of the week.  Also our friends Tony and Jasmine came in to town for a wedding…wait…that reminds me…DAN RYAN IS GETTING MARRIED THIS COMING WEEKEND, HOLY SHIT!!!  Also congratulations to our friends Brian and Elise who just got married Saturday.

Due to Dan’s wedding the shop will be closed Saturday, May 4th.  Other than that it’s business as usual so stop by and get a panther head tattoo or something.

Here’s a fun walk-in Colin did.

The Unofficial Official Return of Iron Tiger Tuesday(ish)

So, as some of you might have noticed, when our good friend Tony Tripoli moved to Las Vegas the weekly Iron Tiger Tuesday posts left with him. Well it’s about time we brought them back. Keep an eye out for weekly updates on upcoming events, guest artists, conventions and guest spots you can catch us at, etc. We’ll also just be posting pics and info from our day to day.

As many of you probably already know Gabe, Colin and Cody will be at this years Ink-N-Iron convention in Long Beach. They’ll be sharing a booth with Chris Quidgeon, Bare Knuckle Irons, and Work Horse Irons. Following the convention Gabe will be guest spotting at Spotlight Tattoo and maybe checking out Martlet Tattoo and HB Tattoo. Details on when coming soon. After that they’ll be in Las Vegas guest spotting at Downtown Tattoo and Showroom Tattoo. They’ll also be checking out Gianni Russo’s brand new Broken Dagger Tattoo.

Our bud Mikey Wheeler from Mercy Seat Tattoo is gonna be here tattooing through Saturday.  Stop by and set up an appointment or just say hey.

Katy got back from her trip to China about two weeks ago. Knocked this one out the other day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lee finally decided to take the plunge into some more visible tattoos yesterday.  Gabe did this bitchin’ panther on his forearm and started a gipsy girl head.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here’s a couple sheets of Sailor Jerry flash that Dan painted recently.  He’s doing a 50 free Sailor Jerry project so if your interested you should get at him.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Angie did this jellyfish on a walk-in.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It seems like every time I turn around Cody’s working on a painting.  Here’s one finished and one in progress.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here’s a couple more Gabe did last week.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This girl is piecing together a Japanese sleeve from Morgan.  They did this one last weekend.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That’s about it for this week.  I know this is technically posting on Wednesday but, like I said, the idea is to get back to doing this every Tuesday so keep an eye out.  Some of the technical aspects of these posts will improve once I start to get a better handle on this WordPress stuff.  Take it easy guys.
