Yellowjacket Tattoo Inc.

Once upon a time....

So it’s a bio you want? Well, buckle up your britches ’cause shit’s going down.
Full disclosure: I don’t know whose poor idea it was to leave me in charge of writing a bio (I’m the owner), but fuggit — we’re in this together now, new-best-friend. <3

Originally founded in 2020 during the shit-show that was the pandemic (yes, that pandemic), a one-man, bastard-child tattoo shop was born from the smouldering ashes of a business and a marriage.

Now you may be asking:
“Alfie, what does this have to do with your current shop? Wasn’t it started in 2024?”
Well, fictional reader, I’m fucking getting to that.
The bastard child / immaculate conception that was my first shop was called Leviathan Studios.

Now, if you’re one of the several people who saw the big word in front of “Studios” and glanced past it: you’re the problem (and I thank you sincerely for your illiteracy).

In 2020, due to the difficult pronunciation of “Leviathan” and its satanic, enemy-of-the-state undertones (I was getting divorced — ’twas a dark time), I chose to change the name to the current Yellowjacket Tattoo Inc. I figured “yellow” and “jacket” were both easy words for all y’all simple-folk. Plus, who doesn’t love a nice cuddly wasp?

The name came partly from the similar sensation a wasp sting and the first sweet poke of a tattoo needle both deliver.

In case you were wondering (though I’m sure you weren’t), it’s pronounced:
“Lev-i-ah-thahn.”

With the shiny new name came a shiny new matte-black shop location. The new hive features state-of-the-art equipment and sanitation standards, as well as a considerable amount of space compared to the previous hell-holes.

With the additional space came staff! The cool cats / indentured servants that reside within these walls are all very talented and capable artists whose lives will be offered as tribute at the rising of the next blood moon. They are all available to book for your tattoo needs and desires!

Are you still reading? Holy shit. I didn’t think you’d get this far. To be honest, I didn’t think I’d get this far.
