FUSION INK... Gogue Signature palette!!!!!!!

http://www.fusiontattooink.com/

I had the incredible privilege of creating my own signature tattoo ink palette with Fusion's co-owner Adam Everett over the last two days. They are done, and on their way back to the production facility in Southern California to be introduced into the Fusion family! I got to do a quick 3 hour test tattoo on Adam himself and loved the way they worked. I designed them to work with the rest of the Fusion line but wanted to see them alone. A couple are made to transition from existing colors and to work as vibrant neutrals, so to speak. They are mature colors for a more earthy aspect to tattooing. I of course believe on striving for bright tattoos but those colors are already available and I often end up needing transition colors or earth tones to accentuate the bright ones I'm trying to get the viewer to focus on. I'm super stoked on these colors and also believe they will enhance any tattooer's existing palette and help in an efficient execution of any style of work you're going after.

It cycles... it circles...

I started tattooing in Aug. 1999. One of my first role models was a guy out of Grass Valley, CA. named Cory Norris. His work was great, and he was super cool. I used to take my portfolio to him as he was doing my left arm and get advise. I was just starting out and he would always be honest and make me want to try harder. He also always kept me humble and striving for integrity in my work. It's so crazy to me that twelve years later I would be interviewing him for the leading trade journal of the tattoo industry. Tattoo Artist Magazine (TAM) asked me to do this article two years ago and after some unfortunate roadblocks it's finally out. I am completely honored beyond the meaning of that word to have done this. Subscribe now to this publication, read it and send Cory an email. He's an incredible artist, friend and person.
