Saturday, January 6th, Primal Urge of San Francisco celebrated its grand opening. Artists Marcus Pacheco, The GRIME, Yutaro, Norm, and Phil Holt, have grouped together, offering connoisseur quality tattoo work in a city known for its tattoo enthusiasm.
The artists opened the doors to their private second story studio, allowing all to enjoy in the new space they've created. Having left their previous location as Art Work Rebels, the new space has arrived with a new, yet familiar name, Primal Urge -- a name that recalls the scope of influence this shop had in its 1990s incarnation. With Marcus Pacheco as a guiding light, Primal Urge became a focal point for what was then a new style of tattooing, art influenced by painting, a wider color palette, bold line work, images related to grafitti, pop art, etc.

The Movement #4 - True Game
Painted the other night in Hollywood, this collaboration features: Rime on panther detail, Revok on letters, and Augor going for it with an eagle headed snake. This chapter of the movement titled “True Game” was inspired by the neighborhood’s resident tattoo legend. the panther and eagle/snake/dragon thing being obvious homages to the tattoo tradition.

I started tattooing full time at Rock-A-Billy Tattoo in Lauderhill, Florida six years ago on Labor Day. Dave Poole apprenticed me for about two years prior to that. My apprenticeship consisted of working a full time job in the day time, raising a family, and working at the tattoo shop at night. Dave and many other artists that were around me taught me not only how to tattoo but how to be a gentleman, businessman, and a craftsman. My time at Rock-A-Billy with Danny Knight, Uncle Johnny, Dave Poole, and Joey Desormeaux was one of the best learning environments I could have been in. I am very grateful for all the knowledge that was past down to me, and I owe all these guys in more ways than one.
I am currently living, tattooing, and raising my family in Queens, New York. I work at Top Shelf Tattooing and work by appointment or walk in. I specialize in classic american tattooing, but I will try to accomodate any customers request. I draw inpiration from many sources, but mostly from my closest friends and family members.
