I got this Jerusalem cross while I was in. Israel in the old city of Jerusalem in 2023. This is a…read morecross that was given to the Knights Templar. These knights had a job to protect pilgrims, trying to make their way to the holy land, typically Christians. This cross symbolized this person's loyalty to the Catholic Church and to all pilgrims, making their way to jerusalem. The tattoo parlor that I got it at is the oldest tattoo parlor in the world, founded in the year of our lord, 1300. To make sure that the tattoo was identical, they used a stamp as they did for many tattoos during that time period. The stamp would be placed in some type of ink and placed upon your skin, and then a tattoo artist would use a quill needle dipped in ink and ashes and tap the tattoo.According to the stamp. Obviously, today's methods are a lot more sanitary. The name of this tattoo parlor is RAZZOUK, and that name has had twenty-seven generations, owning this tattoo parlor. When I got this tattoo, I did not have the red ink filling it in. As you can imagine, tattoos at this particular tattoo parlor were rather expensive, so I decided to have the red ink added when I got back stateside. I went to Dynamic Ink, and I was pleased at the work that they did. Here is some history Tattooing is an art that the Razzouk family brought with them to Palestine five centuries ago, bringing it with them from Egypt. The family came to the Holy Land for pilgrimage but then stayed for trade and for the Tattooing tradition that had existed, and since this art has been in the family for 700 hundred years starting in Egypt, the family started tattooing pilgrims for a living. Our ancestors used tattoos to mark Catholic Copts in Egypt with a small cross on the inside of the wrist to grant them access to churches. Those without it would have difficulty entering the church; therefore, from a very young age (sometimes even a few months old), Catholics would tattoo their children with the cross, identifying them as Copts The current owner of the Razzouk Tattoo shop, Wassim, the 27th generation of the family members that have been practicing this profession and the tradition of offering tattoos to visitors to the Old City of Jerusalem. "My grandfather, Jacob Razzouk (known also as Hagop or "the tattooist"), was the first tattoo artist in this country to use an electric tattoo machine (which was powered by a car battery) and the first to use color as well. Many artists have learned from him, and he has been mentioned in many books and magazines that discuss the history of tattooing (especially religious and Catholic tattoos). He had learned the art from his father who learned it from his father and the ancestors who came from Egypt and brought with them the wooden hand-carved stamps that act as stencils for the religious designs of motifs inspired from the bible such as the crucifixion, the ascension, the Madonna, etc... Pilgrims would stand in line waiting for their turn to be tattooed with either a cross or another design of their choice with the date as certification to their pilgrimage to the Holy Land and as a souvenir. Many Pilgrims would visit another time in a different year and have the date of that year added to the tattoo. My Father, Anton Razzouk, speaks of a man who had visited Palestine for decades on a yearly basis bringing other pilgrims with him from Egypt every year, and every year he would bring his groups to be tattooed and, of course, get tattooed with the year again, he ended up having tens of tattooed dates on his arms. Another story that my father is proud of is about the fact that his father, Jacob, had tattooed the Emperor of Ethiopia in the 1930's, he wanted to be tattooed only by the original artist from the original family. One of the interesting recent stories is that my father was contacted by an Armenian American doctor who invited him to the USA to have him put an original tattoo for him (probably cost him more than a hundred tattoos!), but for him, the authenticity and the heritage was all that mattered. My father (Anton Razzouk) taught me as his father (Yacoub Razzouk) had taught him, and I have decided to carry over the tradition and the heritage, now my two sons are also practicing this profession that will hopefully remain in the family for many centuries to come. https://razzouktattoo.com/pages/history

WARNING! ‼ Do NOT go to Dynamic Tattoo in Inverness! I went in for a cover up tonight and he…read morereassured me he could cover up my previous tattoo and make this beautiful piece. I am devastated. I was getting this cover up as I'm getting married in May and wanted it to be beautiful. During the tattoo he stated I was leaking a lot of lactic acid and he'd have to do another appointment in 2 weeks. I said fine, paid and left just trusting that it would be great as I just spent $425 (with tip). I looked at the pictures my fiancé took and started sobbing. He feels terrible as it was a surprise for me and we took money from our wedding fund to do this and won't be able to fix it until after the wedding now... with a strapless dress! I asked for a refund however he insists that "we'll work something out" he isn't touching me with a tattoo machine (and hopefully never will anyone again!) Please look at the pictures! This is unreal. Why do tattoo artists not require a license but cosmologists do? I'd rather my hair burned off than my skin severely scarred up and looking terrible! Hair grows back, this is forever. Ps.... He also told me that I had been there 4 or 4.5 hours already when in reality, we got there at 3 for our appointment time and it was 450 when he said that. I'm like "ummm no we didn't even get here until 3". He corrected the "error" but had I not said anything, he sure as hell wouldn't have! We were "done" at 530. And charged for 3 hours of pain for nothing!

(Almost to the point you don't want him to be detail oriented anymore) But in all seriousness, I wouldn't have any shadow of a doubt in recommending him.

If you have custom work to be done, or want to just let him come up with something, you will certainly not be disappointed!!

I had been envisioning this tattoo design for a couple of years. Originally, I planned to get it…read moredone during a trip to Houston for a conference--but when the conference was canceled, the idea got shelved. Fast forward two years and change: my mother was in the hospital for over a month, and during one of my backroad drives, I stumbled upon Twistid Ink. Maybe it was a sign. A few days later, I reached out to ask if they could do a "Skin Motion" soundwave tattoo. They replied that they weren't yet licensed with the company, but invited me to send over my ideas for a quote and a conversation. From there, we scheduled a consultation. This was my first tattoo, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I met with Alyssa, who was incredibly friendly, compassionate, and down-to-earth. She was open about the potential challenges with this design and genuinely wanted me to be happy with the result. She even did research on the affiliate company to ease her concerns, which spoke volumes to me--how rare it is today to find someone who truly looks out for your best interest. After our conversation, she recommended Matthew for the work, as he specializes in fine lines. I was touched--she could've kept the job herself, but she prioritized getting it right over making a few extra dollars. We moved forward, placed the deposit, and Twistid Ink went above and beyond: Matthew completed all of the requirements to officially join the Skin Motion network. This little shop did so much more than I ever expected. Twistid Ink completely changed my perception of what a tattoo studio could be. It's not your typical shop--clean, cozy, and filled with kind, approachable people. Matthew did an incredible job and helped ease all my first-timer nerves. A huge thank-you to Elisha, Alyssa, Danny, and Matthew. This tattoo carries so much meaning, and I simply don't have the words to express how grateful I am.
