Client Case Study

Hi-Octane Tattoo

I met Dave Shoemaker when he was tattooing at Spyglass Tattoo in Manchester, NH.

My son’s hockey coach had just gotten a tattoo from a guy out of the same shop, and for whatever reason he thought I’d love Dave. So, I got in touch with Dave and met him at a tattoo convention he was attending in Manchester and I instantly loved his style and his work ethic. Initially, I designed a few business cards and a simple website for him to show off his work. He ended up moving to a shop on the Seacoast and then to Concord, NH. Eventually he decided to open his own shop in Londonderry, NH, and he asked me to help him come up with a brand for the shop. He wanted the logo to be reminiscent of the iconic Norton motorcycle brand, and it was exciting to work within that style. Dave’s an artist, so he knows how to convey exactly what he’s looking for, so pretty much everything I’ve done for him is based on a sketch he’s given me. It’s some of my favorite work.
