GALVESTON TEXAS TATTOO ARTISTS

If ya ever find yourself in Galveston, Texas, and have the desire to get inked...stop by
GALVESTON TATTOO CORNER off 61st Street.

Greg Votaw is the owner and one of the featured artist there.  Chano is also a featured artist there.

Greg has been slinging ink for over 10 years.  He started in South California and has worked with Gil Monte.
He moved to Beaumont about 5 years ago and then opened shop in Galveston Texas in 2008.  Galveston Tattoo Corner was bout 1 month old when Hurricane IKE hit the island flooding the shop.  Greg quickly cleaned up and opened back up.  Since then he has established himself on the island as one of the best shops in Galveston. 

Greg has since married a wonderful woman he met at the shop.  He has a daughter from a previous relationship...and she is growing like wildfire.  Very dedicated to his family and the business...he is passionate bout his work and it shows.  Greg is very laid back and very versatile as an artist.  Great Ink and Great Customer service for both the pro and the newbe. 

Chano is an island legend...if ya have been on the island for any amount of time...most will tell you Chano is the one to go to.  Chano has been slinging ink for 10 years plus and a lot of people on the island have been inked by Chano.  I have even met people in DFW area who have ink from Chano. 

GALVESTON TATTOO CORNER IS THE PLACE TO GO FOR YOUR INK!

On that note...another shop that is considered a staple on the island years wise...is Body Language off the Seawall.  Sally owns the shop and is very friendly.  She pierces and also does permanant makeup.  She also has done some work for survivors of burns and accidents. 
BUCK is an artist out of there that is very good and has owned his own shop in the past in Houston, Texas.
Def an artist to check out.

I have had work from Greg, Chano, and Buck.  I also have had artists that have tattooed me in both shops that have moved around.  Either way...Im a big fan of Galveston INK and appreciate the artists there.
