Early risers. 2nd Annual Walk Up Classic. Told you not to sleep. #greatlakestattoo #believethehype #walkupclassic #taketattooingback (at Great Lakes Tattoo)

Fully restored Ralph Johnstone oil painting from 1937. I acquired this painting 9 months ago and it was in really really bad shape. I had a full museum restoration done on it to try and save it and here is the result. There are a couple before shots to see how rough it was. This now hangs in the lobby at Great Lakes Tattoo for everyone to enjoy. This is why we do what we do this is why I am so serious about my lineage this is why I call bullshit when it needs to be called. This is tattoo history. #greatlakestattoo #taketattooingback #ralphjohnstone #believethehype #noacademicsneeded (at Great Lakes Tattoo)
