Hampton Roads Tattoo Arts Festival

I'm pretty excited to be working at the first Hampton Roads Tattoo Arts Festival on March 4, 5, and 6. This is the first convention I've ever worked at, and I'm looking forward to a good experience of doing awesome tattoos and meeting awesome people!

Classic Electric Halloween Art Show

I've got a new painting on display at Classic Electric Tattoos in Frederick, Md.

Prints are also available for $25 at the Body Gallery in Sterling, Va. Or you can reach me at joel@van-goor.com and we can arrange a payment agreement via Paypal.

Tumblr: It's a Website

I've signed up with Tumblr and set up a photoblog of my tattoos. Follow my tumblr to see shaky cameraphone pictures of my tattoos as they finish!

I Want to do Something from My Sketchbook!

I'm sure plenty of you know that I've got a book of tattoo sketches and designs sitting on the counter at the Sterling shop. Well, I haven't done a single tattoo out of that book! I think that stinks! So, the first person to come and get a tattoo from me out of that book will get it for half the price marked in the book! And the first person to get the certain design in there marked "Free," well, I'll go ahead and give 'em ten bucks! How 'bout that! Just stop by the shop to set something up!

DC Bicycle Ride

The shop will be closed on Tuesday, September 28 so that everyone can get together to go for a bicycle ride in downtown DC. Anyone that wants to come is invited!

Friday the 13th

For the only Friday the 13th of the year, I will be taking part of a tattoo event thrown by Handmade Tattoo Parlor in Manassas in conjunction with The Body Gallery in Sterling. We will be performing 13/bad luck-themed tattoos for $13 (plus $7 tip for good luck!) all day from 10am to 11pm at Mackey's American Pub in Manassas.

Munny Munth

Just finished painting a Munny art toy figure for KidRobot's Munny Munth contest. If you guys could go vote for it, that'd be hella cool! And please pass the word on the facey-spacies!
