First and foremost, I cannot say enough wonderful things about Scott Boyer's book, "TATTOOING AS YOU LIKE IT: THE LEGACY OF MILTON ZEIS".  Not only are the tribute paintings fantastic, it's chalked full of amazing content about his life as a multifaceted personality and modern tattoo innovator.  The layout and design is just as stunning as the content.  By far one of the best books tattoo tribute books ever published.  Hats off to Scott for all his hard work and diligence.  Thanks so much for letting me be a part of this project. - Steven Turner.  300 beautiful pages and only $100.  You'd be a fool not to add this to your collection.  Order at:  Yellow Beak Press

New photos added to Steven Turners gallery!  Be sure to check them out.  Also, we're now open on Mondays! Steven and Matty will be working 12-8pm.  Come on down to the World Famous Hell Bomb Tattoo for some sweet ass tat work!

How about this?  Let us draw your tattoo.  The crap you pull up on Google image search is the worst.  I know it's hard for you to understand, but we know what looks good.  As original as you may think you are, getting a ton of lettering on your body isn't a tattoo... it's a bumper sticker.  Get a tattoo that looks like a tattoo.

Ladies and gentlemen, Matt Scanlan is finally here!  If you know what's good for you, come on down to the shop and get a rad tattoo from him.  You'd be silly not to.  Pictures of Matt's work can be found here.

It's no surprise that we haven't updated our blog in a while. Here's a few tidbits of the goings-on at the old tat shack.

Steven Turner is featured in the new book from LLL Publishing entitled "2012, The End is Here". Many of the worlds most talented tattoo artist are featured in this publication and we highly recommend you check it out.

Truth be told, we've got a ton of new pic to post, but we're so goddamn busy tattooing that we don't really have the time to spend dicking around on the internet. Check out our Facebook page here for more recent work.

Finally, someone has taken the time to share the horribleness of riverfest with the rest of the world. Peopleofriverfest.com provides you with a true insight as to what the riverfest is all about... a bunch of fat, sunburned, poorly dressed idiots wandering around downtown Wichita. Most businesses of the downtown area would agree - this is truly an embarrassment. (at least it's funny)

Get some!

Mr. Benjamin Siebert will moving to Austin, TX at the beginning of this summer. He'll be working with Jason Brooks at his shop, Great Wave Tattoo. We'll miss him dearly, but we're very excited for him and this amazing opportunity! If you have unfinished work from Ben, you still have time to catch him before he moves. This certainly will not be the last we'll see of him. Ben will be coming back up to Wichita to work periodically. Email him at bensieberttattooer@gmail.com or come by the shop to set up future appointments. We wish Ben all the best and will miss working with one of the funnest guys on the planet!

Amongst the many tattoos that were put on here at Hell Bomb last week, a few of them were actually 'tattoos'! At least by a tattooers standard. It's refreshing to have customers who say, "Do your thing, man, I like your work.", and mean it. Take a lesson from these exceptions to the rule. Leave it to the experts... and you will never be dissapointed.

This is just an FYI. If you live in Wichita, don't waste your time emailing us about price quotes. Drive your ass down to the shop where we'd be more than happy to help you out with your tattoo needs. If you're from out of town, email is appropriate and necessary. We've been getting slammed with questions about price quotes... and we're not playing that game. If your only interest is the cheapest price, then seek help elsewhere. We know our place on the totem of local shops. We don't run specials or give discounts. You'll find the highest quality here at Hell Bomb... We'll leave the bargain tattooing to the amateurs and kitchen magicians. That said, come get tattooed!

-Thanks!

(and we still don't do piercings, please learn to read.)

Try as I might... I can't keep this one a secret. Here's a sneek peak of our Naked City Magazine advertisment. It was just too hilarious and awesome to keep it under wraps. Thanks to Jordon for being such a good sport. Our plan is to have a new "model" each month. This is going to get raw.

Recent tattoo bangin'. Que pics...

Mr. Wathke working his magic. Nuff said.

It's been an excellent week here at the shop! A lot of people have been using their holiday time wisely and coming down to the shop to get tattooed. Black Friday is upon us and we are very grateful to work in a non-retail environment.

Speaking of holiday cheer, we have gift certificates available at the shop! Tattoos, the gift that keeps on giving. Werd up!

Wow! Someone getting a tattoo without 25 words and banners obviously explaining the tattoo? WTF?!! Oh wait, it's Jordon our counter guy... that's why. If only everyone got "tattoo style" tattoos. I hear a picture is worth a thousand words. Now, with all smarminess aside, que pics.

Oh, Mr. Wathke, what style you have sir.

Us folks here at Hell Bomb Tattoo are taking our web presence to the next level... the Pootie Tang level that is. Smackin' it in the ass with a belt and letting you know, no matter how ridiculous, the tomfoolery that occurs here at our lovely establishment! At the very least, we'll try to keep you entertained, and hopefully keep you informed of our work related efforts as well.

Jordon May, our counter guy extraordinaire, will be taking over this blog! It may be a disaster, but the blood will be on his hands from now on. Wish him luck... it's gonna get weird.

Thanks to everyone who made it out for the Indelible show last weekend! The turnout was amazing and we had a great time. A special thanks to Brad Ruder at Tangent Lab for hosting the show making it a grand success! We'd also like to thank Ian Stewart and all the contributing artist for their submissions, we wouldn't have a show without you. We are throwing around the idea of making this an annual event, so be on the lookout next year. Here's a few pics of the opening reception.
