    Just got word that Harry is now Internationally Famous without doubt! One of Harry's regular
     customers is an MP in The US Army. He is stationed in Germany and happened to be in Würzburg
     recently during the  International Tattoo Expo Würzburg. He didn't know that the show was going
     on, but someone on the street saw his heavily tattoos arms and asked if he was in town for the
     show. Well, He ended up winning 1st place in Realistic Black & White and took Honorable Mention
     in Small Black & White. Harry tells me the guy is back in the States right now and is coming in soon for  some more work.

       Harry has been working on getting his new shop ready to open. The new place is at 305 Westover Dr. just down from the new post office. Splitting time between working on the new shop and doing tats at the old shop has made Harry harder to get in touch with than usual - Just keep trying! The phone number is the same. We would like to officially dispel any rumors that Harry is packing up and  moving the shop  to some exotic island in the pacific. The new location is comfortable and has plenty of room to display art work at the 2nd Floor Art Gallery. Stop by the new place and check it out.

       Well, it seems that Ricky Warwick will not be making an appearance at the show this year. Scheduling conflicts are to blame. But, there will be a number of bands playing at the show - there wont be a shortage of good music. I think Harry is working 24/7 these days, or at least thinking about work 24/7. The show is coming together very well and is expected to be a huge success. Harry somehow worked into his schedule a trip to Charlotte early next week to do some work for the crew of Jessica Simpson. He didn't tell me if he would be inking Jessica herself, but I've heard  rumors....Something to do with  "Chicken of the Sea"
