I will be at the Inked Out Tattoo Convention in Secaucus, NJ Sept. 23,24, and 25, 2011 and The Biggest Tattoo Show on Earth in Las Vegas, NV. Sept 30, Oct. 1 and 2, 2011.  Anybody willing to book time contact me at ArtOfBiagio@yahoo.com.  Stop by and say hello if you attend.

Finally got to open my own gallery.  It's...

Biagio's Tattoo Gallery
3138 State Route 10 west
Suite 1
Denville, NJ 07834
973-620-9944

There will be performance tattoo on premises.  Here, you can get up close and personal on viewing the tattoo process in the middle of a filled gallery.  There will be works of art on our walls for our guests to view at leisure.  Come enjoy our art, atmosphere and tattoos.

I will be tattooing at the Roseland Tattoo Convention in New York City the weekend of May 14-16.  Stop by and check out the sights.

I am looking to take on commissioned work.  Anyone interested in custom designs can contact me. We can go through your idea and choose to have it made as an original sale with no copies sold or by purchasing the first copy with the design to be made available for sale to the public.  Pricing will be made according to the arrangement.  Originals will be the highest price.  Copies will be the lowest price.  Custom copies will be double the copy price.  Prices will be based on the amount of work required to create the product.  Email me at ArtOfBiagio@yahoo.com for any questions.

Just letting some thoughts and questions flow.  A common question always asked...  What is the true meaning of art?  I'm not too concerned about the actual meaning as I am the satisfaction in creating or viewing art.  Does it mean more to convey a message, visually interest, have appeal (popular, intellectual, or artistic), or personally satisfy?  Does it have to have all elements to be great work?  Is art better if it is made by commision or for oneself?  If anybody has any input I would like to hear opinions.
