Romero's tattoo and piercing

[thxleo]

http://www.romerostattooandpiercing.com/ George is scheduled to be at the shop on Saturday, August 7 with Tom Savini. I guess George is cashing out in his golden years. I don't blame him...why not?

That's certainly a random way of getting your name/image out in the public.

I saw this place on my way home from Kennywood... I thought it was just my imagination! I might have to make it to the shop on Saturday just to see what its like. I will take pictures if I can!

Kind of bizarre that he would even be asked to lend his name, let alone agree to do so, since, as far as I'm aware, Romero has no tattoos (or if he does, he keeps them well hidden). How can he "endorse" a business he has quite clearly never used? I'm guessing the whole thing is either a favour to a friend, or a new tattooist in town trying to cash in on a piece of local history.

Maybe I'm over looking it, but it seems to me that a place endorsed and named after Romero would advertise tattoos based on his work? And whats with the random picture of the guy holding his BC Rich? If it's this easy, i'm going to see if Romero will endorse my upcoming lingerie shop. That will probably be more related than this...

You know, I'm no body modification connoisseur, but those tats don't even look particularly well done. EDIT: Look at us, we're so mean to poor GAR now, that we're even slagging off the quality of a tattoo studio that merely bears his name. I still love you really, George!

Maybe I'm over looking it, but it seems to me that a place endorsed and named after Romero would advertise tattoos based on his work? No, it appears they would rather rip-off a much-maligned image of Kyra Schon and also demonstrate how awful their logo is by forcing a comparison with the ultra-awesome NIGHT of the LIVING DEAD logo. The web site is confusing. And whats with the random picture of the guy holding his BC Rich? He's the tattoo artist. From Kansas City, MO. Now working in a shop over 800 miles away in western PA. We'll forgive his crappy taste in guitars since nowhere does he actually claim to be able to play the instrument.

I went today to check out the place and see George. It turns out that the shop is going to be run by George's son Andrew. He is being taught how to become a tattoo artist by the owner. The shop is filled with memorabilia like old movie posters that once belonged to George. I hope the shop works out for Andrew.

i'm going to see if Romero will endorse my upcoming lingerie shop. You'll have to call it Aunt Aleisha's Lingerie though, just so (and for no other reason), when people phone the shop you can say "hello, Aunt Aleisha's". That'd amuse the hell outta me all day long...

[MikePizzoff]

At first I was psyched and thought I'd go there for another tattoo. After looking at all of the samples, there's no way I'm setting foot in that place.

That'd amuse the hell outta me all day long... God, just so freakin' wrong... and yet I couldn't help almost spitting my fine Milwaukee's Beer out when reading this... As far as tattoos and Romero, why not? I've never met anyone with tattoos who didn't like zombies. j.p.

As far as tattoos and Romero, why not? I've never met anyone with tattoos who didn't like zombies. I'm gonna have to agree with you on that one.

Spaceballs the FLAMETHROWER! The kids love that one....

[3pidemiC]

Yikes. Not the place I'd want to go to get a tattoo. Just look at those examples!

[DEAD BEAT]
