Our tattoo shop

I know it has been a while since the last post. We have been winterizing the park, collecting firewood. Doing some farm type work, nothing spectacular. Barb and I have been given te chance to run Hell's Basement Tattoo shop here in sparks.

So here is the outside shot of the shop, everything here is in the old west style.

This is Barb's post at reception- she will be the manager. In charge of clients, payments, and handling the money. During events there are 4 to 6 artists.

This is the waiting area, we will be adding some better furniture as time goes on.

Here is My station where I work my magic. I am head artist and full time here.

This is Ambers station, she comes in from Las Vegas during events.

I'll post some pice of the tattoos I have been doing. More to come later.

More weenie bite pics.

My son Jason- we worked clean-up crew with a "fan" It's a tough job- but someone has to do it.

Tattoo Bus- Biker party

So we are here in Sparks Oklaoma, at the biker haven- Sparks America camp. This job is really the best when you think about it. All we do is setup for a party, or clean up from one.

You don't need a motorcyle to be in on the party.


This is the party in full swing- yes those are topless women on stage...

Some pics of the weenie bite, contest- if you don't know what the premise of the contest is... message me

My wife and I set up our candle booth. It was fun, and got us little extra money.

I'll post some more pics, of the halloween festivities.

Camp Pics in OK

The bus all set up- great place

The wife trying to feed the mustang a carrot. The owner adpoted a wild mustang.

The resident horses came to camp

Nikki on a Harley- we are at a biker campground in OK.

The belly up boxer is Chelsea, her favorite game is "scratch my belly"

This little guy is Izzy- I forget the breed, but aint she cute as a button

Well, we stopped in Oklahoma for a while. I air brushed the bus, with Jason's help, we have a name.

Here is the view from my station.

Well this is me in all my glory. Ready to go to work. Yes the NY Giants ar my favorite team- them and whoever is playing the Eagals. Heh heh.

These are the machines I have- two custome Snake Yeatts, and three big Joe Kaplans- they have been modified. With better coils.

Still in Oklahoma

Well sorry it's been a while since we got WIFI to update everyone. So we stopped in OK for a short brake- weelll turned out tobe not so short. I think I have tattooed everyone in McCloud Ok now- heh heh it's been fun.

This is Zak's first tattoo he got it for his 16th B-day

I did his on a motley fan.

This lady got- a memorial for her mom.

Her hubby is a huge fan of the cowboys, and razobacks.

I did a bunch of others, no pics yet. will post them when I get them.

Out of VA finally

Well we had some issues in Virginia- Overheating, was the biggest one, so we had to get the beast checked- got a new thermostat. None of that helped, finally at a truckstop I pulled the back apart, and found that a wire on this

Doo-hicky was snapped- would have saved lots of time and money if I'd have seen that earlier- anyway overheating is pretty much solved.

We are in TN at the smokies nat Park- more pics to come

The adventure

Well here we are boondocking in the woods of Viginia

Chester our dog, taking it easy under the bus.

Getting the grill all set up.

The river was about 15 feet from us, nice to listen to the water, flowing outside the windows.

The small things...

Well, the conversion is all but done so we started putting the small things that increase comfort. Got my "dash buddies" in for the drivers station.
