Tony Mabee here, dropping in with some totally exciting news and a peek into the wild ride ahead for Mabee Ink. Get ready, because we're not just making tattoos; we're crafting history, one epic piece at a time. If you're looking for the best tattoo artists in Livermore, CA, you're in the right place. ✨

First, a quick heads-up on what's brewing: Tomorrow marks the 15th anniversary of Inkestry with an escape room and a fancy dinner. 🥳 The week after, I'm hitting the 40 Mile Tattoo Convention with Moe and the crew, entering contests and catching Moe's seminar. ✈️🎨 After that, it's a quick trip to Redbluff to see Juan Nava for my sleeve work and to do some fishing & tattooing. 🎣 Then, I'm off to Reno to start a new sleeve and finishing a dear friend's leg piece. 🎲
