Tattoo Process

Tattoos have long been associated with bikers, traveling sideshows, and sailors. A new kind of diversity has permeated this culture however, and now tattoos can be found on every kind of person, in every culture, every career, and almost every home. Even those who would prefer not to have a picture type tattoo will often get cosmetic tattooing done to accent eyebrows, or line lips or eyes.

The tattoo process involves the use of a sterile needle that injects ink into the upper layer of the dermis, beneath the epidermis of the skin - or approximately 1 millimeter below the surface. The needle is typically powered electronically and punctures the skin between 50 and 3,000 times per minute. This is one of the many reasons that a sterile environment is required for tattooing.
The ink is injected into the dermis because that layer is more stable than the epidermis and will ensure that your tattoo will stay there, with minor fading only, for the rest of your life.

That is, unless you decide you'd like it removed. Ask us about tattooing and our virtually painless laser tattoo removal!

Jeff Goyette Bio

Jeff Goyette was born and raised in Massachusetts where tattooing was illegal, and to this day is only allowed on a per community basis, with each community deciding for themselves whether to allow it or not. Jeff still wanted to be a tattoo artist, and so learned his trade and took it on the road with the tattoo tour where he continued his tattoo education through coursework and tour experience.

In 1993 Jeff opened Inflicting Ink Tattoo Studio in Portsmouth RI as a way to get out of touring and establish some roots in the community. He has been in this location for 17 years. After a few years in the shop however, he wanted to use his traveling experience to be able to bring tattooing to people who might not have the chance to get to a brick-and-mortar shop.

So he built the Inflicting Ink Traveling Tattoo truck, over 73 feet of truck housing a state of the art, sterile, mobile tattoo facility ~ there is nothing else like it on the planet, literally, as the Guiness Book of World Records has named it the largest tattoo facility in the world, but simply has no category to place it in.

The truck travels to fairs, events, concerts, and even does private parties, drawing large crowds and those who do not have access to a local tattoo studio for their body art. Jeff loves when he can give back to a community, and often simply brings the truck to draw in numbers at charity events whenever possible, whether any tattooing will be done or not.

He and his artists model their work on the belief that a customer should always feel that they have received a quality piece of art, that the work is consistent, and that they can be proud of their tattoo as well as where it came from.
