I discovered this place by accident. My old boss's son came to work looking like he was about to die. I asked him what was wrong and he showed me his new (and first) tattoo. He said it hurt so bad he could not sleep. I asked to see it and it was just his first name, Â a 15 minute tattoo. Man, I about fell over laughing. I remember my first tattoo hurting that bad about 20 years ago. That was along time ago and about 150 hours of tattooing ago.
It turns out that my boss was an ex brother in law to the artist. I had some work I wanted done and there you have it. I discovered The Zone.
The Owner goes by the name of Junebug. He runs a clean and efficient shop. He needs to be booked on Letterman as a comedian because he is that funny.
Frank is the artist that has done all of the subsequent work I have had in the last few years. He has taken an array of bicep and forarm tattoos that I had and transformed them into beautiful sleeves. The theme was already in place, the ideas I had were given to Frank and the results were beautiful. Frank designed the lighthouse, fully rigged ships, water, waves and a bunch of other cool details that make the tattoos look as if I planned on the full sleves all along. Â I do need to give credit to Chicago Bill and Lynn Sabol for half of the work but Frank tied it together like Jeffery Lebowski's rug tied the room together.
