For a long time I just knew I opened the shop in December of 1995. While digging through my vast collection of memories I found this flyer, so now we know that today, December 16, is 30 years of Thrill Vulture. Time has flown by. I’m still here because of all of you. And a lot of hard work.

Aaron got the eagle two weeks ago, came back for a cat this week. I love tattooing. Thanks for letting me do what I do 🙏

@jack.does.tattoos gave me the honor of beating up his head a little. You might catch sight of this cowgirl Sat at the Thrill Vulture 30th Anniversary Event, see you all there! Thank You Jack 🙏 .

This is me and my two best friends, @keithelliottattoo and @mattbrowntvt . They are my two successful apprentices, probably one more than a tattooer needs in a lifetime so I’ve done my duty.

Of course I will also be hanging out and tattooing at the Thrill Vulture 30th Anniversary Extravaganza Sat July 12 with my friends. When I opened Thrill Vulture 30 years ago I could never have imagined we would be here. It’s been a wild ride and I just want that to keep going forever.

We are on the countdown for the THRILL VULTURE 30th Anniversary Extravaganza, just 16 more days, we’re tightening up the loose ends, praying all our merch gets here in time, gearing up to get down.

We have people asking already, so here’s a little info on how getting tattooed at the Thrill Vulture 30th Anniversary event will work. We will have 9 tattooers working at a time. We will be doing select tattoo flash designs priced at $130 mostly on arms and legs only.

In addition to the Thrill Vulture 30th on July 12, @keithelliottattoo @bretsmithtattoo and Joe Martin are rolling into town early and will be taking walk ins on FRIDAY July 11.

@keithelliottattoo is coming home to where he first began his tattoo career 23 years ago. He will be here doing sick tattoos and making people laugh Friday July 11 and Sat July 12 for the Thrill Vulture 30th Anniversary Extravaganza!

The boys are coming to town to tattoo and celebrate 30 years of Thrill Vulture. @bretsmithtattoo from @neighborhood_classic plus @keithelliottattoo and Joe Martin from @redrosetattooparlour will be taking all the walk ins Friday July 11!

In addition to @ajumamacbus we will have @dranktank.fun in the parking lot Sat July 12 at the Thrill Vulture 30th Anniversary Extravaganza! If you’ve been to our Punk Rock Flea market then you’ve seen the tank. We just had some of their delicious cold brew Sat at the Westerville Farmers market.

This might be the oldest photo I have of me tattooing, 1997 or 98. I’ve been thinking a lot about the last 30 years of owning Thrill Vulture. I’ve been looking through photos, which are scattered about in different areas.

Saturday July 12 walk in, pick a tattoo from the event flash, get tattooed by one of these stellar tattooers.

Brian Level will be tattooing with us at the Thrill Vulture 30th Anniversary event Sat July 12! I love this Night of the Demons backpiece he’s working on. Check out Brian’s work, in addition to tattoos he is also a well known comic book artist.

Had a great time making this one for Courtney. I appreciate you. . #thrillvulture #westerville #ohio #columbus #blackandgrey #tattoo #death #skeleton #wildflowers #westervilletattoo #columbustattoo

We’re six weeks away from the Thrill Vulture 30th Anniversary Celebration. Here’s some photos of the crew working at the 20th anniversary event. We will open the doors Sat July 12 at noon. Walk Ins Only, we will have set flash designs to offer that day for the good price of $130 per design.

@caseycokrlic and I started tattooing within months of each other in 1993. Casey left Ohio to travel and hone his craft while I stayed and opened Thrill Vulture. Check out his work and you will see how he has become a top notch tattooer, more than capable of all styles.

Memorial for his brother RIP #thrillvulture #tattoo #westerville #ohio #columbus #skull #lemmyskull #lemmy #motorhead #lemmyisgod

My Muay Thai buddy Laura Lee will be bringing her food truck @ajumamacbus to Thrill Vulture Sat July 12 to celebrate 30 years of the shop with us! Korean street food that is always fresh and sassy.

A couple of lived in tattoos. The Foo is I’m guessing about 8 years old, and the Koi was a rework of an existing tattoo that I did not do originally, about 4 years old. . . . . #thrillvulture #tattoo #foodog #koifish #colortattoo
