Either one is fine, just not both — Calen does not check one more than the other!
Your message must include:
— A description of what you’re hoping to get with reference photos
— The location you’re hoping to get tattooed (left arm, right arm, chest, etc.)
— A size estimate of the area you want tattooed, measured in inches
— Your general availability
You can still email the shop with questions & such, but if you are trying to get in touch with Calen, this is how you will be directed to do so!
Cal grew up drawing, sculpting, and painting — passions which lead him to attend UW-Milwaukee for a Bachelor's degree in Art Education & Metalsmithing Design. He taught high school art briefly before realizing he would rather create art than teach it.
Calen has been tattooing since 2010 and began working at No Good Tattoos in 2012. In 2016, he ventured off and established his own tattoo studio, Cal Tattoo.
When Cal isn’t tattooing or doing something tattoo-related, he’s spending time with his lovely wife, Sarah, and their dog, Pablo.
