Unspoken Art Studio Custom Tattooing

20 Years Later…

and Somehow We’re Just
Getting Started.

It’s kind of wild to think about where all of this started.

This week I found myself working again on the very first full sleeve I ever tattooed — something I originally started around 20 years ago. 🤣
That alone will make you stop and think.
I’ve been doing this long enough that I’m now tattooing people I remember running around as kids. From Happy Meals to happy lives. Being trusted to keep making art for people through all those different stages of life is something I’ll never take for granted.

And somehow, at the same time, it feels like I’m just getting started.

I had another successful event at USI, I’ve got new 4ft × 4ft wall installations being built for a shop in upstate New York, and behind the scenes I’m working on something much bigger. I’m taking my time with it. There are moments when it would be easier to cut corners, chase whatever is trending... That’s not what I want to build. I want the work to be real.

Bearshark has been another huge reminder of that.
We SOLD OUT again.
Seriously — thank you to everybody supporting Bearshark Collectibles. Watching these little characters leave the studio and start showing up in people’s collections and adventures is surreal.
We’ll see you again in October. 👻

There’s a lot happening right now between tattooing, collectibles, installations, events, and a few things I’m not ready to completely show yet.

But it’s all connected.
Make cool s**t.
Take the long road.
Keep building and see where it goes.

If you’ve been thinking about getting tattooed, my books are currently open.
Just reply to this email or DM me and we can start putting something together.

Our latest newsTattoo Books Are Open + Big Bearshark News!

Hey everyone!

Hope you've all been doing awesome!

I've been posting a bunch of new tattoo pieces over on Facebook lately, and it honestly feels great to be getting back into the groove. Things are finally starting to feel normal again, and because of that, I'm officially booking tattoo appointments for the rest of the year.

If you've been waiting to start a new sleeve, finish an old project, or finally get that tattoo you've been thinking about, now's the perfect time to get on the calendar before the holidays fill everything up.

I'm also opening up a limited number of custom commissions for the holiday season. Whether it's a one-of-a-kind piece for yourself or a unique Christmas gift for someone special, getting started early gives us plenty of time to make it happen. If you've got an idea, just hit reply and let's talk.

🦈 Bearshark Updates

Things have been moving fast behind the scenes!

👑 The Golden Crown Bearshark is almost here and will be limited to only 50 pieces.
🏪 We've officially locked in our first retail location, and I can't wait to show you what we're building.
📚 The Adventures of Bearshark book series is getting ready to launch, and I think you're going to love where this story is headed.

Thank you to everyone who's continued supporting my artwork, tattoos, and all the crazy ideas that keep turning into real projects. It truly means more than you know.

If you're ready to book a tattoo, want to reserve a holiday commission, or just want to say hello, I'd love to hear from you.

See you soon,

Goku Just Hit the Skin –

New Dragon Ball Z Tattoo Finished!

Hey everyone,

I just wrapped up this epic Dragon Ball Z piece and I’m pumped to show it off!
Featuring Goku in full Super Saiyan mode, mid-power-up with a massive swirling energy attack, torn gi details, and that raw, screaming close-up panel at the bottom. The colors are vibrant, the muscle shading and hair are crisp, and the comic-panel layout with the framed drip effect gives it that perfect mix of anime energy and tattoo art.

This one was a blast to create and it’s a great example of the custom anime, color, and dynamic pieces I love doing.

Summer tattoo hours are in full effect —
I’m tattooing full-time and booking now:
Monday – Saturday
9:00 AM – 9:00 PM
Current rates:
• $150 per hour (sessions up to 6 hours available)
• Limited-time special: Smaller pieces start at just $100 minimum (save $50!)

Whether you’re a longtime DBZ fan wanting your own character piece, looking for something custom, or finally ready to pull the trigger on that idea you’ve been sitting on — let’s make it happen.

Hit me up to book a consultation or lock in your appointment. Spots are filling up for the summer!
Let’s create something legendary.
Stay awesome,

Art, Collectibles & Progress

I wanted to send a quick update and let you know what’s been going on.

I recently used a mass unfriend tool and reset my page. After years of spamming and promoting my art, I had way too many strangers flooding my feed. I also had over 500 pending friend requests going out, so I knew it was time for a change. If I unfriended you by mistake, just send me a message — I’d still love to stay connected.
I’m now tattooing full time and really enjoying the summer hours. I’ve also picked up a couple fun odd jobs recently, including a hockey mask project and a storefront vinyl install that should be coming out soon.
I’m actively looking for more strange and unusual art projects. I love the odd stuff, so if you have any weird or creative ideas, hit me up. We’re also trying to make some extra cash to put toward the new Bearshark Studios project.

Summer Tattoo Specials:

Monday & Saturday: 9am – 9pm
$150 per hour (up to 6-hour sessions available)
Limited-time smaller piece special: $100 minimum (you save $50)

If you’ve been thinking about getting some work done, now’s a great time.
Shoot me a message if you want to book or have any questions!
Thanks for riding with me,
Tony Trip

End-of-year energy 🌍✍️
What a year.
From custom tattoos to Bearshark, from digital art to prints & stickers, and packing bags to hit conventions across the map—this year was about creating without limits and connecting with people who truly love art.
Every tattoo told a story.
Every Bearshark found a new home.
Every print, sticker, and digital piece pushed the vision further.
And every convention reminded me why I do this—community, creativity, and growth.
Huge gratitude to everyone who supported, collected, shared, and showed love this year.
2026 bookings are open—let’s make something unforgettable.

• Missed the Bearshark Stream? A Few Pieces Still Remain

Hey Collectors,

The Bearshark Whatnot party went over awesome — seriously.
Huge love to everyone who jumped in, grabbed pieces, and helped make it such a killer stream.

Because of the response, we’re officially starting production on the next Bearshark drop 👀🔥

For anyone who didn’t get a chance to catch the live show, there are still a handful of comics and select collectibles left from the drop. Once these are gone, they’re gone — no reprints, no reruns.

If you missed the stream or want to grab one last piece of Bearshark history, check them out below:

Thank you for being part of the Bearshark universe. This community is what makes building this world so fun — and we’re just getting started.

More soon,
