Thank you for visiting the Imperial Illustrations website!

 

               We are Southern Connecticuts oldest surviving tattoo parlor

.

    Thanks to a loyal client base, we've continued to thrive for 23 years, at 88 Campbell Ave. West Haven Ct.

 

   About 30 years ago, Joe and Deb started their quest to being the best tattooist that they could be with the guidance of artist such as: Ernie Carafa, Guideline Freddie, Cliff Raven, Philadelphia Eddie, and Billy Streeter.   

                                                                                                                                                                                            And last but not least, the many weeks Deb would spend in Jacksonville Florida, with

Paul Rogers learning & building tattoo machines for professional tattoo artists worldwide.

Deb has since retired temporarily from tattoos due to a liver transplant but Deb is still active behind the scenes.

 

   Learning from our elders & adopting their good & excellent tattoo work ethics without a condescending attitude really makes Imperial Illustrations LLC a great place to get a tattoo.      

  

   We use latex free, nitrile gloves because latex can be hazardous to your health.   All tattoo needles are stainless steel and disposable.  

 

   As far as artistic style, all we can say is we are professional artists.   We do color, black & gray, new school, old school & traditional.       When it absolutely has to be tattooed over night, we can do it.   

                                                

Seeing is believing, so stop in and see!

   Many thanks to everyone especially Paul Rogers, Ernie Carafa, Philadelphia Eddie & Jim Diglio(who knows nothing about tattooing but is the best landlord a small business can ever have.)

Joe
