Hey everyone at LST, my names Nick Hayes and im a tattooer at Third Street Tattoo in Hermosa Beach, CA; (its where drug addiction and Black Flag made their mark) Been tattooing about 5 years. I apprenticed under Brian "big5" Barber at Union Electric tattoo in Wilmington, CA for a couple years. He's a tattooer/machine builder and owner of Union Machines. Check them out! I really enjoy early american traditional tattoos but try to keep my abilities pretty open to all styles. Im always reluctant to change so I was slow to get on facebook, slow to instagram, and in good fashion...slow to LST. Heard nothing but great things from all my past co-workers and im finally pullin the trigger! i dont want to be one of those guys who ransacks the tattoo industry so im hoping ill able to bring something to the table to tattooing as well as this forum. Have a good one and thanks for reading.

Hey Nick! Welcome to the board. You did the Ark of the Covenant on my chest last year and filled in some stuff on my arm remember? If you search your name using the search function I mentioned you and 3rd Street one time on here.

Hope you've been good!
