Character of the Day:
Rob – Local Tattoo Genius
After talking to Rob today I realized that my reputation at Starbucks has been solidified. He already knew everything about me and acted as if we had already met. I’ll admit I felt at a disadvantage for a split second but quickly recovered. This tattoo artist who is a first generation American born in Long Island made for quite a Character. Not only is he a tattoo artist but also works for Little Dreamer Productions as a DJ and Graphic Designer. Rob attributes his love for scary movies to his Transylvanian heritage. His great grandfather was the Duke of Transylvania. He also has a love for comic books which I’m sure influences his tattoo designs. Rob seems to be the local go to guy for tattoos since many past Characters have his designs. I asked what he thought about all of the tattoo shows on TV. “It’s a love & hate relationship. It has made tattoos more mainstream which creates more work. I just don’t like when people want exact copies of what they see on TV. It needs to mean something to them on a personal level.” Sounds like Rob is a responsible artist. He currently works at AP in Mooresville and eventually plans on opening his own shop. His favorite thing about Birkdale… “the calm atmosphere which allows me to not only hang out with many of my friends, but meet new people as well”.
