On December 18th, 2025, I shuttered the windows on Art Machine 2.0 in Bensalem PA. I am no longer a shop owner. After 15 years, I couldn’t do it anymore. The overwhelming pressures of an oversaturated market, youth that don’t get tattooed as extensively as the previous generation. A puttering economy that doesn’t show signs of improvement.
It was bound to happen eventually. Tattooing is a business with so little recognition as a trade that in vast swathes of the country, there’s no laws regulating it. Our income has a cap, you can only work so much.
15 years is a good run. But never fear! I’m still tattooing in Bensalem PA at Electric Honor Tattoo along with a handful of local guest spots. I’m booking 2026 and I’m still local. Let’s get you started with that new piece you’ve been sitting on. Use my contact form to schedule!
