Independence Madness!!

  Not really. All we're really doing for Independence Day is taking 30% off all Traditional style designs for July. We figure it being the Nation's month of independence, why not celebrate with some real American history. Tattooing as we know it has been around for just over 100 years now. The style known as Traditional has been around just the same! So to celebrate America's Independence, lets stir it up with some celebration in tattooing as well! Okay, maybe it's just my way celebrating our great country with the one thing I love more than anything in this world; tattooing. So come down and we'll tattoo some of the oldies but goodies, or you can even have us draw you some original Traditional if you'd like.

Also, we've decided to start pushing some "free" tattoos. There's a shop here in town that's doing free names. Now none of us agree with doing free tattoos, but if we're going to keep getting calls from people assuming, or hearing rumors that we're doing them, why not do a few. So I sat down and drew up a sheet of some free stuff. One being a Buddha face. Being a practitioner of Buddhism I find it fun to do a Buddha face and spread the peace and love! Second we Zakk's name with a banner and a blossom. The other shop is doing free names. We do free names too, as long as it's the name Zakk. If you don't know anyone named Zakk, we just happen to have someone named Zakk that's not only willing to be your buddy, but willing to get a matching tattoo! How cool is that! Next we have a cock with wings. It's not crazy hostile or anything. Just a nice, smooth, soft, and shiny shaft with wings. It'll be a blast at parties. Lastly we have the EvoTat logo. It's a cute little tattoo that's chubby and fun! Show your EvoTat support with this little guy.

Now something that needs to be understood with free tattoos. A lot, well most people don't seem to understand how much work goes into tattoos. There's a lot of time spent to bring you the best ink possible, and EvoTat isn't going to slack on anything! If we say we're going to do tattoos, that's exactly what the hell we're going to do! So if you want one of these little suckers, make sure to bring some tip money, or even schedule something else along with it. Help these artists out! Gotta support! So please don't be a douche and just show up for free ink and leave.

The next thing I'd like to talk about is we are doing our best to bring you some kick ass videos. Some educational stuff, and some entertaining stuff as well. As artists it's part of our job to educate the public on stuff that's not so known. No, we won't show you how to tattoo or sell you stuff, but we will teach you about etiquette, how to behave in a shop, and it's called a 'machine,' not a 'gun.' So that's always nice!

Something else we're trying to put together is a Street Team. A group of people that will help the shop out as much as needed! By doing things for the shop will get you free tattoos, free shirts and hoodies as they come in, stickers, and maybe even bonus cash for conventions and other events supported by EvoTat! There's a lot of work that will be involved but it will all be worth it. I mean c'mon! FREE TATTOOS, OF YOUR CHOICE!! WHAAAT!? Yeah, that just happened. This idea will evolve over time and become more stable as time goes on, but we'll get it figured it.

Of course there's always updates every day through facebook.com/evotatnation. So hit the like button on the page and we're always trying to post the specials and events through there! Learn about discounts, freebies, and when appointments are available for the artists at EvoTat!

So there's your EvoTat: THE BLOG! update for the last few weeks, and the weeks to come! For the closest event; it's the Ink For Life Tour July 22-24th in Denver at the Crowne Plaza Hotel by the airport.
