How we began...
When I (Errol) first opened the Inkstitution, I started out all by myself. After about three months, more and more business entered the frontdoor. At that point I decided to hire two more guys to help me out with all the walk-ins, because I had a lot op appointments for customwork. Since the Inkstitution is a studio where we like to help everybody with good service and a smile, nobody walks out without being served.
I always like to make an appointment just for a consult to talk about the customer's needs and wishes before I even start drawing for them. Only then, to my believe, the customers get what they really wish to wear on their body's for the rest of their lives.
The way I see it is: people pay good money to get their tattoo done and sometimes go through hell for the bigger pieces! So why shouldn't I take the effort and educate them a little bit, so that I can give 'em something unique that fits them, instead of don't give a damn and put just about anything on their skin.
The work I like to do best are the fifties pin-ups, in Elvgren or Vargas style... ›››
