My current base of operations is Eli’s Ink in Anigua, Guam. Since October of 2016, I have been making tattoos at this iconic location along Marine Corps Drive.
Iconic? Eli’s Ink has been open since 2013. At a little under 4 years in business, the shop is hardly one of the older fixtures in the local tattoo scene. However, the location has been a tattoo shop for around 15 years now. Previously, the shop was named Tribal Images, which is a name recognized by most of the older tattoo collectors on Guam. For almost 20 years, Tribal Images was one of the most trusted names in the business.
I spend most days at the shop from 3-9pm. In our efforts to keep up with technology, we have several social media outlets through which we can be contacted for your convenience. Still, the best way to initiate the process is to come by the shop and work out the details. Whether I am drawing or tattooing, I am never too busy to entertain questions from anyone who takes the time to stop in and see what we have to offer.
My focus the next couple of years is to expand my knowledge of tattooing. In order to do so, I will be spending some time traveling to meet and work with other tattooers. Last year, I did a couple of guest spots in Saipan, and the experience reminded me that my profession doesn’t confine me to Guam, and there is no reason why I shouldn’t take any opportunity to pursue new experiences. After all, evolution is a key aspect of tattooing, and to stay static may mean being left behind. Guam has some of the most talented people in the whole world, and many of the tattoo artists here are no exception.
I will keep you all updated!! Use the contact form for any inquiries or stop by the shop one of these days and see what I can do for you!!!
