You can reach us Tues thru Sat 12-9 pm check us out on the interweb at www.ugly-american.com for more photos and to show off mostly. All American Tattoo opened its doors Aug 1st 2003. All American is a tattoo parlour in the truest sense of the word it is not a large impersonal studio but rather a small intimate location where you can get up close and personal with your TATTOOER not made to feel like you are bothering an "artist". All American was established with one goal in mind, to do phenomenal tattoos on interesting people (if you are wondering if you are interesting...you are. Trust me come in I'll prove it) If we get to have some laughs and create a few good stories along the way to those world class tattoos so much the better for everyone involved in the project.We try to brng back some of the magic that tattoo parlours used to have. The shop motto is " the only Limitation is your Imagination" we try to bring each clients dreams to life on their skin. tattoos are about putting what you feel on your insides on your outsides. We are honored to do it for you. So please come on in and check out our work.
Who I'd like to meet:
Any one interested in Tattoos, changing the world, underwater basket weaving, art both low brow and high, or people who just dig the scene.
