What's Happening at So Cal Tattoo

Finally a chance to write some, "NEWS". So. Cal. Tattoo & Body Piercing will celebrate 13 years in September. "Lucky 13"

Everyone here is really busy. Tom & Carlos are booked until November, but are taking art consultation appointments. As for myself, I'm booked until July and am also taking art consultation appointments. Alfredo who I hired as our "walk-in" guy is booking up weekly, but is somtimes available for walk-ins.

Juliette is still piercing and is available every day except Wednesdays and Sundays. Phaedra is still the person to go through on the phone.

I sat down to think about how long every one has been here and thought how time flies. Tom has been here 11 1/2 years, Phaedra 10 years, Carlos 7 years, Juliette 4 years, and Alfredo 8 months. I want to thank all of my co-workers for all their loyalty and love for the shop. They are what makes this shop great. I alone could never do it all.

I would also like to thank all of our customers and friends for all of their support over the past 2 years. If you happened upon a bad time here, my apologies. Things are much smoother and morale is up.

Next month, we will all be at The Queen Mary convention, June 23rd, 24th, & 25th. Look for our booth. We would love to see all of you there.

Terri Morgan in Tattoo Flash issue #75

Its me, Terri. I'm really excited about the Tattoo Flash issue #74 article about me this month. The article is ten pages. I don't know if there was a problem with the printer but some of my color photos looked a bit washed out. You can check out my work on my artist page.

Thanks,
Terri

The latest news from So Cal Tattoo. 11.05

After a 25 year relationship, 20 of those married and 12 years working together, Ethan and I are parting ways. I'll let you know the details on Ethan as soon as I get them.

My name is Terri Morgan. I'll be writing this page from now on. I'll try to keep you up to date on all things new and exciting happening here.

Tom Berg is busy as ever. Not just tattooing and painting, but also drawing for the Fox hit show, "Prison Break." He has also been working on X Men 3 and The Reaping.

Carlos Torres is tattooing so much that he is often here on his day off. Of course, he just bought a new townhouse that he asked me to help decorate. He can use the extra $$ (not that I have expensive taste).

On to our Chief Executive to the President, Phaedra, she's just returned from Hawaii and that "hang loose" mentality has put her in an especially good mood. So book those appointments now! Thing just wouldn't run as smooth without her.

Juliette has pretty much become the shop piercer as I'm booked for tattooing. She is doing a great job and has a happy clientele. I'm still available by appointment however, and specializing in genital piercings.

If you call and its not Phaedra or Juliette, that would mean you have reached our lovely girl, Sarah. Say Hi!!!

Last but not least, we've hired a new artist, Alfredo Alvear. He is doing some clean work and is, for now, sometimes available for walk-ins. We'll get some of his pictures up soon. His portfolio is available at our shop.

Thing are running smooth through the transition and while we all sense a loss, we are still family.

Love,
Terri





Tom Berg art in hit Fox TV series.

Fox Television has a new hit series on its hands. Titled "Prison Break" the show has a key developmental element that was created by So Cal's own Tom Berg. Tom's tattoo art in "Prison Break" is an important part of the story line. Tom created artwork for the show's director, Brett Ratner, in an earlier motion picture titled "Red Dragon". We're happy that the show is doing well and we proud that Tom has had this opportunity to once again display his outstanding talent for art and tattoo art specifically. For more on the show visit: www.fox.com/prisonbreak .

But being in the spotlight and giving some readers a first chance to learn a little something about the shop and what we do here is always an occasion for excitement. Pick up a copy and see what's new with So Cal Tattoo.




Top Honors at Long Beach

Congratulations are in order for resident So Cal Tattoo Artist Carlos Torres. Carlos was awarded "Best Black and Grey" at this year's, (2005), Long Beach Tattoo Convention. We've always known about the quality of Carlos' tattooing skills and this award shows that others appreciate his work as much as we do at So Cal Tattoo. Congratulations Carlos.
