Amsterdam trip?

I am more then likely to be attending this years cannabis cup in Amsterdam and I would really like to spend some time over there doing some sick tattoos.
However, there are some amazing shops there, and I feel as though I need better samples of tattoo work i've done to even get looked at in a shop there. Unfortunately that's nearly impossible, so I am gonna make this offer to get some new client photos: huge discounts on BIG full color or black and grey pieces!
Check this out, say your tattoo would be about 400 bucks. I'll knock a clean 150 off. 300 you get 100 off and 200 ya get 50 off.
But there is a catch, you gotta make a appointment to get these tattoos and it has to be something creative, something I can run with. NO flash, tribal, crosses, praying hands or anything equally usual!

Send me your tattoo ideas to bobbyrotten@bobbyrotten.com

Or give me a call at the shop: 301.333.1236

This is your chance to get that huge tattoo you've always wanted for almost half off!!!

Hurry!! Offer ends November 1st.
Call today and be sure to check out www. Bobbyrotten.com

Back To School Specials

Fall is my favorite time of year. Seriously, all my favorite things are associated with this season: Halloween, football, Sam Adam's Octoberfest and hoodies. So to help share my festive fall spirit, I'm gonna be offering a ton of back to school specials on tattoos, piercings and clothing from BobbyRotten.com

Now through Nov. 15th, 2009

• Any tattoo that has to do with Halloween, horror movies, or just sheer terror, I'll knock 20% off the total price of the tattoo, but it's gotta be over $100.
• Show everybody that your a die hard Redskins fan for life. Come and get your NFL team (or college) logo tattooed on you for a clean $50 (for a 2x2 tattoo). GO STEELERS!!
  
• Offering $20 off any tattoo or piercing when you buy any hoodie or t-shirt from bobbyrotten.com. Only valid Nov 1-15th.

So yeah, come in to the shop and check us out. I am not kidding people, now is the time to get a tattoo from me, tattooing kinda slows down in the fall, and I always hook people up like crazy, because I need new pieces for my portfolio.

Also, I will be launching my first 4 t-shirt designs on bobbyrotten.com on Nov.1, so be sure to check that out!

I'm getting stickers printed as well, so if you'd like a bobbyrotten.com sticker, join our email list, by emailing me your info to bobbyrotten@bobbyrotten.com

Wow, This never post?! It just sat in my drafts.

Wow. Somedays..

If you personally know me, you probably know that a few months ago I was robbed at gunpoint, in my own home, by my own boss. Yes sir, only this type of thing would happen to me, anyways, Mike went to jail for this, and recently was released. I just found out that my his wife, who owned the tattoo parlor, shot him in the head and killed him, in the shop I used to work at, its really sad. 

Here is the police report:

A man was shot and killed by his wife at a Southeast D.C. tattoo parlor Monday night, police said.

It happened just after 6 p.m. at Liquidity Jones Tattoo and Body Art at 1503 Pennsylvania Ave. SE, near the Potomac Avenue Metro station.

The couple owned the shop together, investigators said. The wife is now in police custody.

No customers were in the shop at the time of the shooting.

No word yet on a motive.

Rock The House

Hey guys,
What's up? I just finished up unpacking from tattooing and piercing at the Rock the House music festival at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds, just outside of DC.
It definitely was a good time, and thanks to everybody who got inked or pierced. Also to anybody who missed out Ludacris, Redman and Methodman, and Inspectah Deck put on a kick ass show, so be sure to check it out next year. I'll prob be out there, maybe not tattooing tho, haha.
RTH definitely was the "diet" version of Rock the Bells, which I also attended this year VIP. I must say, the ticket price was high, but the Rock the Bells experience is amazing. I met Necro and Mr. Hyde, Rza, and members of Slaughterhouse and MOP. However, the RTH fest had more of a personal feel to it, and the show even almost got shut down by police when Redman and Methodman urged fans to kick down the gate that separated VIP and general, and rush the stage, the crowd obliged.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, If you've never been to either, your missing out on a good time.
Pce,
Bobby
