Tyler Hall
Tattooing is truly Tyler's life. He has always had a love for fine art and tattoos. Growing up in the punk rock/hardcore music scene, tattoos have always been a way of life and he could always be seen with a pencil and paper in his hand, drawing flyers for local punk shows. Tyler spent a good many years as a blue collar worker doing custom metal fabrication and machinist work until he decided to make his tattoo dreams a full time career in 2010. He has always had a love affair with the ocean, and was always heavily influenced by the classic Americana of tattooing.
Tyler's style is American Traditional, bold lines, bright colors, the classics, and he has a passion for it, as well as a respect for the long standing traditions of tattoo history. In a decade of tattooing, he’s had an opportunity to work in some of the most iconic shops in the country, Great Lakes Tattoo in Chicago, Ancient Art Tattoo in Virginia Beach, Good Time Charlie’s in Hollywood California, Seven Swords Tattoo in Philly and Asheville, and countless others. In his free time, Tyler can easily be found traveling, building classic cars and motorcycles, drawing, and attending tattoo conventions across the country. He loves live music, but with city in his blood, never travels too far away from the street lights.
Tony Baris
Tony Baris was born in New York, raised in Connecticut and has been fascinated by and cosmically attracted to tattoos and tattooing as long as he can remember.
From marveling over and studying his father’s Navy tattoos as a kid to finally getting his first tattoo at the age of 17. This first tattoo experience was pure magic! Guns N’ Roses debut album was playing on the stereo in perfect harmony with the buzzing of the tattoo machines and a 17 year old’s idea of eternal coolness was at last within reach! Not having any idea where the road would eventually lead.....
Tony’s tattoo journey had most certainly begun. After obtaining a degree in art and design Tony worked as a photographer until 1998 when he landed a tattoo apprenticeship in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. He has since worked along side and learned from some of the best tattooers in the business in New York, Honolulu, Philadelphia, and now Portland, Maine!
Tony specializes in Black and Grey and American Traditional styles of tattooing and gives each tattoo he does every bit of special attention it needs and deserves.
Doug Landry
My name is Doug Landry. I've been tattooing for over 25 years. I've spent my whole life immersed in art, music, family and friends. Tattoos were always in my life. My father was a machinist in the navy and covered in traditional American tattoos (faded and worn) My uncle Jim was covered as well. It had a huge impact on me as you can see.
I started my apprenticeship in New Hampshire in 1997. Grinding, cleaning, bleeding and making tattoo needles. (I made so many needles!!) A lot of trials and tribulations and falling down and standing back up. Information was not as easily accessible as today. I am extremely proud of my beginnings. I am grateful to have learned what I have and I am honored to have worked next to some great artists throughout my career. I love what I do. I sometimes take for granted how lucky I am to have this life. Thank you Tattooing.
