Full Moon Tattoo and Horror Festival

Lighthouse Tattoo will be attending the Full Moon Tattoo and Horror Festival this October 27th-29th, held simultaneously at the Hotel Preston and the Full Moon Cineplex and Slaughterhouse haunted house in Hermitage.  Those of you who have attended in the past know this show is not-to-be-missed!  For those who have never been to a tattoo convention we highly recommend that this be your first:  live entertainment; horror celebrities; vendors; and a collection of tattoo artists from around the globe will be on hand.  Tattoo and costume contests, panel discussions, meet-and-greet and photo opportunities, as well as tattooing performed at the show provide convention-goers with a bevy of opportunities that make this Halloween party the destination of choice!  Hope to see you there!

Thai Tiger

Our resident race-car driver and Thai badass Mel got this tiger as part of the the first session on her sleeve.  In this photo, the tiger is healed, though still has a couple of shiny spots, as it's only about a month old.  Feel free to stop by Lighthouse Tattoo at 328 N. Cumberland Street in Lebanon to set up your appointment to get your favorite animal's portrait, be it an exotic Bengal tiger, or the family pet, color or black and grey, Lighthouse Tattoo is the place to be!

Memento Mori

Literally translated it means 'remember you are going to die'.  In tattoo parlance however, it conveys a brighter message, to live life to the fullest.  Skulls have long been maligned as something evil or dark, imagery to be kept from tender eyes for fear of upsetting the meek.  At Lighthouse Tattoo, we see things a bit differently, to us, skulls are a symbol of equality, a physical feature all humans share.  Regardless of race, sex, creed, age, or any other factor we may us to divide ourselves, we all have a skull and we all will surely die.  These universally shared qualities are beautiful and should be celebrated.  To live as if tomorrow may not come, to love one another right now as if we were all dying, would make the world a better place in our eyes.  Skulls are also super cool, as this particular tattoo can attest.  So when you want your skull tattoo, call Lighthouse Tattoo at 615 784-4500 or visit us at 328 N. Cumberland St in Lebanon TN to make your appointment!
