NEWS — Flash Tattoo

On certain summer Tuesdays, in blazing hot Las Vegas, tattoo fans can get a smokin’ good deal at Studio 21 Tattoo. We call it “Taco Tuesday” and a great time is had by all who participate!

The idea is that those who join in on the festivities get a fun, taco themed tattoo and a couple home made street tacos prepared by the Spencer family for fifty bucks. This year, we picked the last Tuesday of the month in June, July and August. Most of the folks that took advantage of this awesome offer last summer will show up for all three events. We also gain newcomers each time Taco Tuesday comes along.

All Taco Tuesday tattoo designs are prepared by the artists at Studio 21 Tattoo. There are so many cool designs to choose from, some people go ahead and get two!

This event is offered to give back to the community that is that has supported our studio over the years. Not limited to locals, we have had numerous tourists who just happened to be in town join in on the fun. It is always announce on social media by the studio and each of our artists and employees.

So if you feel the urge for some great tacos, excellent company and really fun little quickie tattoo custom designed by our outstanding staff of artists, drop on in on Taco Tuesdays for a real good time.

Some people think tattoo flash is a dying art. Not so with Jasen “Swarm” Wood, staff artist at Studio 21 Tattoo, Las Vegas, Nevada, a.k.a. @darthswarm. This guy has become a virtual flash machine in the last couple years! A while back, Swarm purchased a whole wall of empty picture frames with the intention of gradually filling them up with art for his booth here at the studio. He actually went ahead and hung all these empty frames on the wall in order to inspire him to work harder on honing his artistic skills. Improving skills is a must in the tattoo industry because these days the competition is really intense, especially in Las Vegas where there are around two hundred tattoo parlors to choose from.

After hanging all these empty frames, Swarm became compelled to get the art work done to fill all this empty space. The frames look way better with the flash sheets installed! This was no small task, as he had installed forty of these empty frames. Anyone who does water color art work will know that doing forty sheets is a daunting task!

After only a little over a year, the sheets are about eighty percent complete and the art work and ideas just keep getting better. This guy is an animal! Each sheet is based on a different theme. Some are themed from Swarm’s favorite movies. Some are from bands he enjoys. The images are so much fun!

It’s no wonder that when in Las Vegas to do a show, Dave Navarro @thespreadgroup, lead guitarist for Jane’s Addiction and Judge on Ink Master stops in to get a tattoo by Swarm. Of course, if you are a tattoo expert, you would choose to be tattooed by our flash master, Jasen “Swarm” Wood. Just for the record, he tattooed me last week and will be inking me again in the near future!!
