Hello everyone, we’ve been made aware that there is an individual claiming to be one of our employees taking money for appointments over Facebook and potentially on other socials.

Tidewater Tattoo will be offering a Black Friday special. This Friday only, you may purchase a gift certificate at a 30 percent discount. That means a hundred dollar gift certificate will only cost you seventy dollars. A $200 gift certificate will sell for $140, and so on. Discounted gift certificates will be capped off at $500. Additionally we will be offering piercings at a 40 percent discount. We will extend the offer on piercings through Saturday, but this will be a first come first served basis, and will most likely fill up fast. If you’d like to get a piercing done, it is definitely best to schedule an appointment. We here at Tidewater Tattoo appreciate all of you very much and wish you a Happy Thanksgiving

I attended the “Cecil’s Best” dinner last night at Patriot’s Glen. My shop, Tidewater Tattoo was voted in as a favorite in our category, and I was very happy to be voted in as the County’s favorite Tattoo Artist. My sincere gratitude goes out to you who voted for me, as I am in good company these days with many good artists around. Including my staff at the shop, Jesse Overton, and my Son Dave. You all keep a fire burning under me to continue to get better! 38 years now and going strong!
I haven’t been able to stop drawing since I could hold a pencil in my hand, and that love of art transferred over to tattooing when my brother Ed introduced me to the craft. I look forward to many more years. 🙏

Someone has brought this to my attention. This is not me selling these, nor would I ever sell something so narcissistic! Don’t buy them!!!

The NightCrawlers had a great gig at The Wellwood in Charlestown on Sunday. We played to a very enthusiastic and engaging crowd from 4:30 till 8:30 and the time just flew! Perfect weather, good company, my trusty Band Mates, and some awesome Jambalaya! Thanks to Julie Elliott for the great pictures! 😘
