Harris Ink Tattoo

Harris Ink Tattoo has a story. Like the fisherman, blacksmith, stone mason, shingle miller, the ink master trade has been passed down the bloodlines of this family (along with a natural ability to charm just about anyone). With three generations in one house (grandfather Joe, Son & owner Scott, grandson Marshall) some families fuss about being forced to live together. However the Harris's have made it work. They have also hand picked a few additions to the tight clan along the way.

The artists here are mad talented, stylistically they run the gamut of tattoo design. Van Fowler is a kick-ass artist. With 18 years of inking under his belt his favorite styles are Japanese and Skull/Dark Art, but he did a brilliant job on my Hindu Lord Ganesh tattoo (as pictured). It's a special and comical atmosphere. The people here are a bunch of jokers, and for the time that you are with them you're a part of that world. It takes your mind off the pain from the needle and the time just whizzes by. If you're new to this don't be afraid to ask the artists for portfolios. Scott, Marshall, Van, et. al are more than happy to share. Van was really receptive to my opinions and incorporated my ideas flawlessly. I'm also including a link to Van and Scott's work so you can peruse on your own time.

Finally, for those who like to express themselves in a multitude of ways, Harris Ink is expanding their creative space by adding a piercing studio. I'm sure once the UNF girls get wind of this, business will be booming. Thanks again, Van. Will be back.
