TA24U?......Eternal Expressions.....

Yeah, I know what you are thinking.....Tattoos?  Really in Ocean Springs?  Oh yes, Ocean Springs is becoming the Tattoo Mecca.........Why?  Well, one explanation I heard is that Ocean Springs is a very diverse community and is widely recognized as a city of the arts......Stop it right now!......Tattooing IS AN ART and requires a great deal of skill and talent to execute.  Tattoos are no longer for the old sailor or bar hag....tattoos are found on celebrities, doctors, lawyers, even elementary school teachers!  The art work created is personalized to an individual's life and interests.

Jason's shop is located on Highway 90 in Ocean Springs and is here to serve you........The shop has been open about 6 years and is regulated by the Health Department. (Safe Tattooing here!)

I was attracted to the decor......these are the coolest chairs ever......and while you wait, snacks are available which is always important no matter where I go.......

Before I started browsing for my perfect tattoo, I talked with Matt Stebly.  He is a local artist in his own right creating pottery, paintings and specialty T-shirts, in addition to producing between 20 and 25 tattoos a week. In case you are wondering tattoos range in price from 40 dollars to several thousand dollars, depending on the complexity, size and number of colors in the too'.  He showed me the tools of the trade...

Brightly colored inks

I know these look scary but no pain, no gain....

Lucky me!  before I make a decision about a tattoo, Matt demonstrated the application of a tattoo on a friend.......no screaming or gnashing of teeth.............so I took that as a good sign.. So what kind of tattoo do I want? Let me look......

I can have a choice of a special pet..........my favorite is a picture of a pit bull with the saying,"Born to Love, Trained to Kill" OR........... how about an alien to commemorate my encounter?

 hmmmm.............I am a Saints fan......but not sure....I have a friend that could definitely use the "Love Sucks" and would proudly wear the "Future Ex-Wife".............

Matt showed me an interesting one that he has........no he DID NOT TATTOO himself.........

Well, I still have not decided on a tattoo for myself, I am leaning toward a rose with a dagger through it for my ankle or possibly a frog on my hip..........will have to think about it......but if YOU KNOW what YOU WANT.......don't hesitate to stop by and get premium service offered in a cool setting from the best on the coast!!!  "OS Ink"..........all the way with Eternal Expressions..............
