Big news right now.  Many of you have heard by now, but Ezra Haidet and I are opening Mainstay Tattoo here in Austin, Texas!  It is Austin’s first and only completely classic tattoo shop, featuring all hand-painted flash by the two of us.  We are catering mostly to educated and serious collectors of tattoos, but welcome walk-ins of all kinds.  We are located at 4901 Woodrow Ave., at the corner of Burnet and 49th street.  Our hours are still 11am-6pm everyday, so come check it out and say hello!  If you don’t already, follow us on Instagram via “@mainstaytattoo” for latest updates and opening party details.

Added a few new photos to the tattoo galleries today.

Also, our new book, The Rose Book, is set for release on October 25 through LLL Books.  Exactly what it sounds like, The Rose Book is a tattooer’s reference book full of rose-themed flash by only the best tattooers we could get.  Of course, it will come hardbound and presented in our typical manner.

Just added new images into the tattoo galleries.

Remember that you can also get the most up-to-date images of my tattoos and more by following me on Instagram (zachnelligan)!

Our new book, Bound by Honor: A Tribute to Black and Grey Flash, is now up for pre-order!  First 100 orders will receive a free print when the books ship out in mid-January.

While we don’t normally involve ourselves with any kind of tattoo contest, it was neat to see that a bunch of people voted for Triple Crown to win the Austin Chronicle’s “Best Tattoo Shop” category, and we didn’t even ask people to vote or know that it was going on.  Thanks for thinking of us, guys!

Just added a few new photos to the tattoo galleries.  I will also probably be adding more dates to the travel calendar above fairly soon, so stay posted.

Also, if you haven’t already, check out the new book we have out at LLL Books.  It’s called “2012: The End is Here.”

Our new book, 2012: The End is Here, is now available!  This book is from our publishing company, LLL Books, and features some of the tattooing world’s most talented artists portraying the coming times through images and writings.  Definitely our best book to date.  You will not want to miss out on this one!  Limited edition of 1,000 hand-numbered hardbound copies.
