CHAIN LINK

Tattoo Event

Join us on Saturday, March 2nd, as we turn back the clock to celebrate a nearly forgotten tradition in the world of tattoo artistry.

The CHAIN LINK TATTOO EVENT is more than just picking a tattoo; it's an homage to the days when tattoo parlors buzzed with the energy of artistic creativity and the craftsmanship of production-line quality.

For one day only, get a tattoo from a trio of tattoo artists, each a specialist in their own right:

  • OUTLINE - The journey begins with the precision of the line, where the foundation of your chosen design takes shape.

  • SHADING - Next, you'll experience the depth and dimension as another artist adds shading, breathing life into the outline.

  • COLOR - Finally, a burst of color will be meticulously applied, completing the transformation from a simple sketch to a vibrant masterpiece.

As you move from chair to chair, you'll not only walk away with a piece of art but also a unique experience reminiscent of a bygone era.

Event Details:

  • Date: Saturday, March 2nd

  • Time: Doors open at noon. Be prepared to step into history.

  • Location: The Custom Tattoo Co, 123 Roosevelt Blvd, Havelock, NC 28532

  • Note: This event is first-come, first-served with walk-ins only. No appointments will be taken, so arrive early to secure your spot and avoid the wait.

  • Choose from a curated selection of pre-designed flash tattoos, each one hand painted by our artists in-house, embodying the spirit and artistry of the past.

  • $5 Tattoo Raffle.

  • Free Food

  • Door Prizes for the first 7 tattooed.

This is a celebration of tradition, craftsmanship, and community. Whether you're a tattoo enthusiast, a lover of history, or simply curious, we welcome you to join us for a day of art, nostalgia, and connection.

Generations of Exceptional
Craftsmanship

Founded in 1983 by Jeff ‘The Jew’ Cohen, The Custom Tattoo Company is a second-generation, family-owned business that is dedicated to the art and craft of fine tattooing.

From simple souvenir tattoos picked off of the wall to one of a kind backpieces and sleeves, we approach every project as a unique opportunity to apply classic tattooing techniques with modern aesthetics.
