Happy New Year form 71 Tattoo! 08 was a trip, and we can definatley say  that we're ready for '09. '08 saw most of the original 71 crew move on. Jeff left to Portland Ore. , and Dave Briggs is no longer with us. Dave had some health issues that he has to deal with, he's Ok, and we wish him well. Christopher Scott  aka " Scotty" formerly of Star tattoo has joined us. He does super awesome work, so stop by and see him. We've also added a gallery for him on the site, so make sure to visit his page. 71 Tattoo will also have artwork on display at the Atomic Cantina 315 Gold Sw Downtown ABQ for the " Pins and Needles" Tattoo Show January 23,24,25,26 '09. Come by and buy us a drink, come by and buy our artwork!!!
