Tattoo History
The word tattoo is said to has two major derivations- from the polynesian word ‘ta’ which means striking something and the tahitian word ‘tatau’ which means ‘to mark something’. The history of tattoo began over 5000 years ago and is as diverse as the people who wear them. Tattoos are created by inserting colored materials beneath the skins surface. the first tattoos probably were created by accident. someone had a small wound, and rubbed it with a hand that was dirty with soot and ashes from the fire. once the wound had healed, they saw that a mark stayed permanently. click here for more tattoo history

FLASH! What is it? News flash - That's what this is, a single item of important news. Tattoo Flash - Is a tattoo design printed or drawn and may be regarded as a species of industrial design. It is typically displayed on the walls of tattoo parlors and in binders to give walk-in customers ideas for tattoos. Although Pikes Peak Tattoo is NOT a "parlor", we are a studio, we do have flash. But our artists are here to consult with you to give you a tattoo you'll be proud to display, that is really YOU! Flash or custom, we can accommodate you. To Flash Someone - to display your body without clothing. We don't recommend this. BUT WE HAVE A SOLUTION if you're lacking bunches of cool clothing, come into the studio, say hi, check us out and get a FREE DENVER TATTOO (while supplies last). Flash in the Pan - What some studios or "parlors" become. Pikes Peak Tattoo Studio is definitely not that! We are one of Colorado Springs oldest studios established in 1978, WOW, that's 31 years! Rest assured we have the experience and will be here for you in the future! New ROUND of LIVE VOTING |
