Tattoo by Rob Scheyder

 Here at Tattooed Heart Studios we are pleased to announce the addition of a new tattoo artist to our talented crew. Rob Scheyder will be joining us, starting today, Monday July 12th. Rob is a neo-traditional tattooer at heart but his style is pretty versatile. When Rob isn't busy tattooing he is equally busy painting. He will be available for walk- in tattoos on a regular basis starting today so stop on by and give him a warm welcome. Enjoy the opportunity to snag a walk-in tattoo experience with him before his schedule starts to book up like the rest of us over here at The Heart. We will be posting Rob's walk-in hours as soon as we figure them out ourselves. Check back soon for updates as we get Rob settled in. Head on over to www.RobScheyder.com to check out Rob's tattoo and painting portfolio until we get his work officially added to our website.

 Here at Tattooed Heart Studios, we have had the pleasure of tattooing alongside of Evan Olin for the past couple years, but the time has come to say goodbye. We have had some great times but this is not the end, just the end of this chapter. Evan is moving back up north, to the Boston, Massachusetts area. Evan has plans to open up his own tattoo studio once he gets settled up that way, later this summer. You can check up on Evan over at EvanOlin.com to get the latest updates on tattoo travel and the new shop once he gets the details worked out. We have plan to travel back and forth, so Evan will return for guest spots a couple times a year and we will probably find ourselves up that way a couple times a year as well. Take care Evan! See ya soon.

I am recruiting a team of people to run this relay race with me. This event should be a lot of fun. Who's is coming with me? Send me a Private Message if you are interested in joining my team that I am putting together!! Anybody can join me, even if you don't live in the immediate area!!! Where my runners at?

Go to http://www.ragnarrelay.com/dc/index.php for more details!

Your relay team will consist of 12 members. During the relay, each team member runs three legs, each leg ranging between 3 - 8 miles and varying in difficulty. So, from the elite runner down to the novice jogger, it's the perfect relay race for anyone.

-John

 We added a few new tattoo images from John Garancheski this evening. There are a lot of great tattoo projects in the works right now over here at Tattooed Heart Studios, keep checking back for more updates soon. 

:)

Mark Decker and I are headed to Hyperspace Studios in Marion, Illinois this week. Guy Aitchison and Don McDonald will be starting a collaborative full back tattoo on Mark. We have seen the sketches and digital renderings and they are amazing. I can't wait to see it come together in real life. The plan is for Guy and Don to tattoo Mark 2 days in a row for a total of around 16 collaborative hours. We are traveling out that way a couple days before the project gets underway for some super special extracurricular activities. We will be out of the studio until Monday April 19th. We will post updates and pics from our trip soon! - John

 Tattooed Heart Studios is now reviewing portfolios from talented tattoo artists who are looking for a permanent studio to call home. Please email John with your contact info and a link to your portfolio if you would like to be considered for this exciting opportunity.

We are an extremely busy, completely custom, tattoo studio and we focus on each customer individually. Do you think you have what it takes to give our clients the outstanding service that they have come to expect from THS?  

Here is the latest review that was sent to me for Tattooed Heart Studios. I headed over to InsiderPages.com to check it out. These make me smile every time that I read them. Thanks for all of the positive feedback, I am always happy to hear about your experiences here at The Heart. Keep them coming. 

Thanks Devon, I will see you again soon!

Evan Olin will be moving back up North to the Boston area early this summer. We will miss him but he has family in that area and he is ready to move back. His last days here at Tattooed Heart Studios will be at the end of May.

With lots of large projects that still need to be finished, his available time is getting thinner and thinner. If you have a project that you need to finish up, please contact Evan soon and you will be given top priority.

Evan is taking on a very limited amount of new projects at this time. Please do not take it personal if you are referred to another artist, it simply means that he does not have the time needed to dedicate to your project. Of course, he will be available once he gets back up and running up north but he is not accepting appointments or requests for that time period yet. Keep tabs on him by checking EvanOlin.com whenever he gets around to updating it!

 The Tattooed Heart Studios crew will be representing at the Baltimore Tattoo Arts Convention all weekend long. Mark and Evan are already booked with tattoos all weekend and they are working on some impressive projects. On Friday, Mark and Evan will be starting and completing a huge, collaborative, bio-mechanical thigh tattoo on Jason. Mark is working on large bio-mechanical tattoos all weekend. Evan is probably doing some scary faces with bloody features. I will be hanging out all weekend just having fun; I plan to meet and talk to as many people as I possibly can. So if you are interested in meeting our exciting crew of tattoo artists and you want to check out some of the other events going on this weekend, stop by and say hello! The Baltimore Tattoo Arts Convention features some of the world's best tattooers, under one roof, for one weekend only.

 All of the artists here at Tattooed Heart Studios attended the Off The Map Tattoo Painting Jam yesterday. We want to genuinely thank EVERYONE at Off The Map Tattoo and everyone who showed up for the monthly Painting Jam; we had such a great time. We met some new faces, caught up with some old friends, we had a fantastic day.

Everyone at Off The Map Tattoo was very hospitable and some very inspiring artwork was taking place all day long. We also gained some inspiration from the "life changing" mashed potatoes at Ann's Bar and Restaurant just about a block away when we finally decided to take a dinner and drinks break.

We plan to travel to more of these painting jams throughout the year. If you want an excuse to get out and paint with some talented and inspiring artists, check out the Off The Map Tattoo website for more details and dates.

 John, Mark, Evan, and Amy will be headed up North early on Sunday to hang out with the great folks up at Off The Map Tattoo in Easthampton,  Massachusetts for the monthly Art Jam . Our friend Nathan Kostechko  will be there for a guest spot, so it will be nice to catch up with him and do some new paintings. We have heard that a bunch of other artists are planning on stopping by so it should be a great turnout. It is nice to be able to take working field trips and spend some quality time with our friends that we only get to see a few times a year.

 We got word the other day that Evan Olin's tattoo work had been spotted in a recent release of Tattoo Revue Magazine. We picked up a copy, and there it was; "The Purest Form of Art", it's a nice 5 page spread with plenty of photos and content about Evan. Thanks Tattoo Revue Magazine! 

"I started to understand how important things like light and shadowing are to rendering the ideas in my head in a believable, realistic way"  - Evan Olin

Happy New Year to all of our Clients, Friends and Families - 

2009 was a great year here at Tattooed Heart Studios. We gave our tattoo studio a total remodel to provide a more comfortable working environment for our clients and our artists. We gave our website a brand new look to show off our artistic efforts, thanks to the folks over at TattooNow.com. We traveled to countless tattoo conventions and other social networking opportunities to meet new faces and "mix it up" with some of our peers in the tattoo industry. We have had the pleasure of appearing in Baltimore's B Free Daily Magazine on a few occasions, we have had our tattoo work  published in many more exceptional tattoo magazines, we won a buch of trophies for tattooing, Evan got his first tattoo published in a magazine, I broke my hand, I abandoned my old nickname "Love",  so much crazy stuff has happened this year. We have grown in so many ways and we can't wait to grow some more in the coming years. We have had the pleasure of meeting a lot of great people this year and we look forward to growing these relationships with our clients and all of our friends in the tattoo industry.

Welcome 2010!

We want to welcome 2010 with open arms. We have some exciting projects and ideas lined up for you over here at Tattooed Heart Studios. We will be doing considerably less traveling this year as we focus a little more on some of these projects here at the studio. We are still traveling to the Baltimore Tattoo Convention right down the street and to the Philadelphia Tattoo Convention and maybe a few other tattoo related shows over the year. We look forward to continuing to provide the top notch service that our clients have come to expect from Tattooed Heart Studios.

Big News!!

We are currently working with a lab to create a whole line of products for our artists and our clients. This line of tattoo related products will be helping to revolutionize the tattoo industry and how artists serve their clients. Our products are focused on safe, responsible tattooing and we believe that they will be well received by our clients and peers. We are not saying a whole lot about these projects right now but we are getting closer to showing some of the hard work that we have been focusing on to bring you some exciting new tattoo products in 2010. Keep checking back here for more updates early in 2010.

Evan Olin is spreading his wings again.

Evan Olin will be moving back up north to Massachusetts early THIS Summer. If you are wanting to start a tattoo project with Evan or if you are finishing an existing tattoo then you should make the appropriate plans NOW so that you will not be disappointed when his free time runs out here in Maryland. These next 6 months will go by pretty quickly and Evan already has a tremendous workload waiting for him when we return to the studios after the holidays. So, act now, don't wait. If you want to be tattooed by Evan, secure a place in his tattoo schedule before it is too late. 

That is all for now. Keep your eyes open. We will be posting more updates on our projects as soon as we are able.

Take Care, Happy New Year!!

-John

We're a Favorite Place on Google -

Wow! Tattooed Heart Studios here in Glen Burnie, Maryland just found out that we have been selected as one of the select few businesses to be named a Favorite Place on Google.

 Excerpts below are taken from Googles Favorite Place Website -

"Google has identified over 100,000 businesses in the U.S. as "Favorite Places on Google" based on Google users' interaction with local business listings. Each business is receiving a window decal with a unique QR code that you scan with your phone to read reviews, star the business as your own favorite and more.

The list was determined based on the popularity of a business' Local Business Center listing, as determined by how many times Google users looked for more information about a business, requested driving directions to get there, and more. Google users "decided" based on their actions, and we sent the decals.

Over 100,000 businesses were identified as Favorite Places, representing less than 1% of the 28 million U.S. businesses. We believe that our standards for selecting businesses are as selective or more selective than other companies which have run similar initiatives.

More than 100,000 businesses in over 5,000 towns and cities in the U.S. will receive a decal from Google that they can place in their store or restaurant window. This represents nearly 50% of all the towns and cities in the U.S."

- End Excepts from Google favorite Places website

Here at Tattooed Heart Studios we were delighted to get our Google Favorite Places decal in the mail the other day and we stuck it right on the front door of the tattoo studio. If you have a fancy cell phone, stop by and scan us in! Help by writing a review and support this exciting new program from Google.

Thanks to Google, and all of you out there searching, for helping to name Tattooed Heart Studios as one of the Favorite Places on Google!

Choosing Your Tattoo Studio-

Once you have made the decision to get a tattoo you'll need to find a qualified tattoo studio.  This is a very important decision, as it can easily make or break your tattoo.  Before you decide on a tattoo artist or tattoo studio, you must first see if they are qualified.  There are hundreds of thousands of tattoo studios out there, some better than others.  If you go to a less than perfect tattoo studio, you could very well end up with an infection that can cause you more trouble than you ever thought possible.  Finding out how long a studio has been in business is very important as this will help you how much business the studio receives.

When you look for the best studio you should always watch for those who have the best history with keeping their equipment clean.  Clean equipment and a clean studio is without a doubt the most important consideration when dealing with tattoos.  If the artist isn't licensed or not a professional there will be little to no guarantee that the equipment is clean.  Health is a big concern with tattoos for most people, and for good reason. If you are looking to get a tattoo you should always make sure that the artists are licensed, the studio is clean and the equipment is sanitized and cleaned after each and every tattoo.

The best tattoo studios will welcome you in with open arms, anticipating your business.  When you meet the tattoo artist, he should be friendly and not intimidate you at all, nor should he at any time attempt to push a design on you.  Under no circumstances should the artist try and talk you into getting a more expensive tattoo design if all you want is something small and simple.

Pushy sales and unfriendly salesmen are common pitfalls with most businesses.  Tattoo studios should always be friendly and open to what you want.  Although the more experienced tattoo artists will offer their opinions, they shouldn't try to push you around.  If a tattoo artists thinks there will be a problem with your design or if he thinks he can do anything to improve it, he will more than likely let you know.   If he is able to save you some money, the higher quality tattoo artists won't think twice about doing so.

Before you decide on a tattoo studio to do your tattoo, you should always compare what's available to you and weigh out your options.  The higher quality tattoo studios will cost quite a bit of money, more than the other parlors.  This is to be expected, as the higher quality studios cost more to pay their artists and keep their studio nice and clean.  These studios are among the best in the world, with sparkling floors and a clean interior.  The tattoo artists here ensure that their rooms are clean, with most wiping down their equipment and materials every chance they get. 

The ideal way to find tattoo parlors in your area or close by is to use the Internet and search or just open a local phone book.  If you look for the keyword tattoos, you'll find several that are relatively close to you.  Once you have found some addresses, simply drive out there and take a look around.  If you like what you see, you can always come back.  You shouldn't rush your decision but instead look at what each tattoo parlor has to offer you.

What can Tattooed Heart Studios do for you?

Tattooed Heart Studios is all shoveled out and reopen for business after the record breaking Blizzard of 2009. We will be in the studio keeping warm all day tattooing appointments so stop by and say hi if you are out and about!

Evan and I are both settled back in from an awesome, long week spent up north in Providence, R.I.. We both had a great time, we got to catch up with some old friends, did lots of tattoos, and worked on some paintings. We laughed, we cried, I even threw up once! Yay, Party.

The Rock the Ink Convention was off the hook! The whole weekend was a huge festival of bands playing on 2 different stages, roller derby, UFC, midget wrestling, grappling matches, and of course tons of dope tattooers and painters. They somehow fit all of that under one roof! It was a very fun experience.

We are all home for the next few weeks, keeping our regular schedules in the tattoo studio. Then, we are on the road and back up north again in September for the Paradise Tattoo Gathering! I can't wait to get back to the Jiminy Peak Mountain Resort this year. We had such an enlightening experience last year and it seems that Gabe and the rest off the crew are really stepping up to make this year even better and more unforgettable. Finally, a tattoo convention that we can relax at, see some friends that we don't get to see most of the year, and maybe learn some new tricks. It is bound to be an inspiring weekend. I will be attending a few seminars and I have plans to attend most off the discussion panels. If you are a tattoo artist, an apprentice, a tattoo collector or an enthusiast, the Paradise Tattoo Gathering in Hancock, MA is an amazing event that happens just once a year.

Alright, that is enough for now.... You can read more at www.johnnylovestattoos.com.

Evan Olin and Johnny Love will be hitting the road on Tuesday morning and heading north to Providence, Rhode Island. They will be hanging out for a few days tattooing and catching up with some old friends. Johnny said he might take his motorcycle out a couple days while they are up there just to relax for a while. Then, on Friday morning, Johnny and Evan are off to the Rock the Ink Tattoo Convention for the weekend. They will be keeping pretty busy tattooing at the show but it seems that Johnny might still have some time available for one lucky tattoo collector. It would be best to hit him up early on Friday if you are trying to get tattooed to see if he still has time. More updates really soon...

We just posted a few new tattoo photos from Johnny Love. Be sure to stop by the portfolios and check out some of the new tattoos. A couple weeks ago we put out a news bulletin to let you all know that Johnny was coming into some openings in his schedule. Well, the gap has closed again and it seems that some new projects will have to wait until the fall and early winter. Ewww, I can't believe we are already talking about winter already! Johnny has not stopped taking requests for tattoos yet but he is prioritizing new requests as they come in. Thanks Again!!

Just a few more weeks until Johnny Love and Evan Olin travel north to Providence, Rhode Island for the Rock the Ink Tattoo Convention. They will be traveling up to Providence a few days early to rock out some tattoo appointments on some lucky collectors in the Northeast. Give us a shout if you are going to be in the area and interested in getting tattooed by Johnny or Evan.

We have been receiving a huge response lately and the tattoo artists over here at Tattooed Heart Studios are getting busier and busier by the minute. With the next few months looking pretty jam packed with tattoo appointments and tattoo conventions, our artists are starting to look towards this fall season for scheduling new tattoo clients. There are still a few spaces open to get your project started but time is getting pretty scarce. Thanks to everyone who has helped to make Tattooed Heart Studios so successful in the past years we look forward to working with even more interesting tattoo clients as the good word keeps spreading around! Take Care and we hope to see you soon!

Evan Olin and Johnny Love just finished finalizing some ideas and drawings for a tattoo collaboration tattoo that the two of them will be tattooing later this week. Stay tuned for updates on this very exciting project, we will be posting photos of the progress soon. This is the first time that Evan and Johnny have sat down to do a collaboration tattoo together and the results should be pretty exciting. All of the artists here at Tattooed Heart Studios always welcome a good challenge and an opportunity to stretch the limits a bit. If you have a great tattoo idea in mind and you are looking for experienced custom tattoo artists, look no further than Tattooed Heart Studios right here in Glen Burnie, Maryland. We are located just south of Baltimore, just minutes away from the wonderful attractions at Baltimore's Inner Harbor.

Johnny Love and Evan Olin will be attending Rock the Ink Tattoo Convention in Providence, Rhode Island on August 21st, 22nd, and 23rd. We are pretty booked with tattoos for the weekend but stop by the booth and say hello if you are going to be in the area. Then, Johnny, Evan, and Markuss are headed to the Paradise Tattoo Gathering in the hills of Massachusetts on September 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th to soak up some knowledge and get together with some good Tattoo Artist and Tattoo Collector friends that we haven't seen most of the year. We will be back in town for a weekend and then it is back to Massachusetts, this time on October 2nd, 3rd, and 4th for the Boston Tattoo Convention. We still have space for tattoos at this show but they will book fast!!

Johnny Love has been super busy finishing up some of the larger tattoo projects that he has been working on lately. As these projects come to a close, the schedule is starting to open back up. Right now, for a limited time, Johnny will be accepting tattoo requests to fill the rest of the summer and fall schedule. Get your ideas for tattoos in soon and secure your spot in the schedule before it gets too hectic again. The best way to set up an appointment with any of the guys at Tattooed Heart Studios is to send a brief email including your contact info and a description of what you want. For the initial email, keep it short and sweet. The more creative we can get with your tattoo idea, the better. Thanks! Keep checking TattooedHeart.com for tattoo photo updates really soon!

Johnny Love and Evan Olin of Tattooed Heart Studios are attending Rock the Ink Tattoo and Music Festival in Providence, Rhode Island on August 21 - 23 2009. So far, it looks like Evan is booked but Johnny Love has one space open for a cool tattoo. Let us know soon if you are going to be around that way and interested in setting an appointment to get tattooed at the show. Thanks!

So the summer rush is definitely kicking in and we are finding ourselves busier then ever. If you are interested in getting tattooed now is the time to come in and set something up. With that said I would like to say that I just posted a whole bunch of new really fun tattoos under my tattoos page. I have also finally added my own fine art page which you can get to by clicking its link next to my name on the tattoo artists page. While you are checking out my art you might notice a bunch of the paintings I have available as prints for sale. They are a series of tattoo machine paintings and a series of skull paintings. Please contact me at evanolin@gmail.com or call the shop if you are interested in purchasing one or more. Hope everyone enjoys the new stuff, and thanks for looking! Evan

So, we are lining up a pretty busy summer. Johnny, Markuss, and Evan have been taking on a bunch of really cool and interesting tattoo projects lately. As always, the guys been taking as many walk-ins as possible but we have been keeping pretty busy. Apparently there is no recession in Tattoo Land. Our clients keep coming at us with awesome tattoo ideas and we keep cranking out the quality, custom tattoo work that people have come to expect from Tattooed Heart Studios. Book your appointment soon to get your tattoo project started soon! Thanks, THCrew!

Thanks to everyone that has been really digging my work I have been pretty busy lately. I have been taking on some larger projects that have been keeping my appointment book pretty full. If you are interested in starting a project, now is the time to do it! I will only be able to take a few more projects on before there will be a considerable wait until I can add more to my schedule. I am not booked solid at this point so I can still take on some smaller one sitting projects as well. I have also been quite busy painting as much as my schedule allows. So, keep an eye out for a massive update of tattoos as well as a bunch of new paintings that I have completed. I will be making prints of some of them, so I will let you know when they become available for sale.

Mark Just added a bunch of tattoo photos to his portfolio here at TattooedHeart.com. Stop by and check out some of the work that he has been putting out lately. Markuss is always into designing dynamic graffiti tattoos and he has just posted some great examples. Check back soon for even more updates, we have been cranking out some really cool projects lately and some of them are coming to a close pretty soon. Thanks, THCrew. My Tattoo Can Beat Up Your Tattoo!

I just finished a few really interesting tattoos and I am excited to post pictures of them. One in particular is the Chest and Half Sleeve tattoo of a Dragon, Buddha Statue and Lotus Flower. I am very pleased with the results, I hope you enjoy the new photos.

We will be closed for the day on April 12th, Easter Sunday. Evan, Ron and Markuss are getting together to play in the sprinkler and paint Easter Eggs. Then, they will hide candies and other surprises to hunt down and place in their colorfully woven baskets. After the hunt, they will all join hands and have a gay, carefree time in a flowery meadow together. After an afternoon of frolicking, they will sit down and enjoy meat sandwiches and jelly beans. Enjoy your holiday, I know we will! See you all next week!

Well, I finally had some time to add some new tattoo images to the gallery over here at the new TattooedHeart.com. I have more that I will be adding as soon as i get them all sorted, cropped and ready to go! Keep checking back for more uploads in the near future. As soon as we get our original art image gallery on the website we are going to be adding a bunch of paintings that we have all been busy working on. Take Care! Johnny

We are seeking a new artist to join the THCrew! You must have professional studio experience with references and a versatile portfolio.

We are looking for a highly motivated individual to join our elite crew of artists. We are a drug/drama free shop that caters to our clients in a classy, clean, and fully custom atmosphere. We are not just any tattoo shop, We are Tattooed Heart Studios!

If you think you have what it takes to be the next member of the THCrew, please contact Johnny directly.

Evan just posted some new tattoo pictures and a short bio. Check them out and send him some love if you are trying to get some tattoos done.
Things are starting to heat up over here at Tattooed Heart Studios. Before we get too busy with appointments, make sure you contact us and reserve your spot! You just give us an idea and leave the drawing, researching, and tattooing up to us. You won't be disappointed. We are a fully custom tattoo studio in Glen Burnie, Maryland with three tattoo artists that can handle any request.

Also, don't forget about the special that we are running on Body Piercings right now!

Thanks, THCrew

Body Piercing Special Going On Right Now!!! For a short time only THS has reduced the price of ALL piercings! All piercings that were $45 - are now only $35. Industrials were $80 - are now $60. Nipples (male/female) were $80 - are now $60 set or $35 each. Come on in to Tattooed Heart Studios and feel the steel at a real deal!

Evan has added some new flicks to his gallery. Johnny and Markuss will be uploading new pics soon. We also have a bunch of original artwork and prints for sale that we will be uploading very soon as well. Keep checking back for updates. Thanks

Here is a sneak peek at the new lobby minus artwork on the walls. We are still finishing up some minor touches and fine tuning the flow of the new studio. I am very pleased with the results of the remodel. Please stop by and check it out. If you have been to THS before, you will hardly recognize the new look!! Please be patient with the decorating, I am sure it will take some time for us to get all of the artwork back up onto the walls. It still looks very quiet, not the TH that we are all used to. But still, the new look will kick all of your asses! haha
