Happy New Year...

Happy new year to all. It seems we all start to say the same thing around this time... what a great year we had. Lots of good times, a tolerable amount of bad and plenty of things we've completely forgot about. Mistakes made lead to lessons learned and so on and so forth. Here are a few of my favorite tattoos and times i had in 2012. I can only hope that 2013 will have at least the same outcome by this time next year.  To view the rest of my favorite photos and experiences of 2012 please visit www.davidmeektattoos.com and please feel free to contact me to setup your next tattoo. who knows it may be one of my favorites of 2013!!

I am also taking appointments for the Allentown tattoo convention at the end of march and beginning of April. More on that as my travel dates are in order.

December is here!

Well December is here and I thought I would share some of my recent doodlings in an update! I've got some photos of some great rose tattoos that I had a ton of fun doing the last few days and would live to do more! I've also got some healed and fresh pics of some traditional tattoos in the works which are always fun and I would live to do those more often as well! And finally some flash I've been putting together. It's kind of a quick thrown together post so stay tuned for better photos in the tattoo section. Til then I'll see ya at the shop

Thankful for all a y'all

Thanksgiving is over at not a moment too soon. It was a close one this year. It almost got in the way of people's ability to enjoy a nice black Friday. Luckily black Friday started on Thursday not the least bit distracted by families trying to enjoy each others company. Well all that nonsense aside I'm still thankful to be here another year tattooing and living and loving every moment. I'm very fortunate to have such rad friends that I consider family and such a unique family that makes me very grateful that they raised me proper! My kiddo had a great time too, playing herself into waves of crankiness due to not wanting to nap. She even got to hang with her great grandad for a bit which was awesome.
Now it's into Christmas full steam ahead. Time for occupy local business. Spend money with tattooers, barbers, bartenders, treat yourself to a thriving local economy this year!
Come by and set up some time for a rad tattoo!

WE HAVE A WINNER!!!

This month i put on a raffle to benefit a friend of mine struck by a train in North Carolina. Being a 1 man operation my efforts were small but deliberate. I managed to raise just under $500 bucks for my pal Dan Roberson. With a now 4month old son and not working for at least another 6 weeks, every little bit helps. 

   Id like to thank everyone that participated in my fundraising efforts, 

Nichole, Britney, Carla, Nathan, Ned, Ben, Cyndi, Stephan, and Bobbie. In addition to the raffle I auctioned a handful of origianls that I had painted and as of today the winners are Bryce, Rebekah, T.O Roberson, and Bobbie yet again.

And now the moment we've all been waiting for the winner of $400 worth of tattooing by me is..............................................

Ned Jaquish... Hell yeah man. Congrats to you and again I want to thank EVERYONE that bought tickets. Youre all winners to  me and everyone that bought a ticket will recieve $20 off of their next tattoo of $100 or more.

See you all soon
