GOETIA: The Lesser Key of Solomon is Mister Beaudry’s first installment in a series of illustrated demons. The Goetia is a famous 17th century grimoire and refers to a practice which includes the invocation of angels or demons. Each of the seventy-two demons are illustrated with pen & ink, coffee stain background, and embellished with white ink.
Mister Beaudry is an illustrator, attaining a bachelors degree from Savannah College of Art and Design in 2007. His illustrations are highly focused on the natural world, isolation, and cyclical imagery. Currently most of his work consists of pen & ink, watercolor, reminiscent of European woodcuts. He currently resides in historic Savannah, Georgia, with his two cats Gwar and Danzig.

Welcome tattoo artist Becca Roach to the Eight of Swords Tattoo family!
Brooklyn-based “Bad News Becca” Roach started tattooing in 2005, after receiving her BFA in illustration from Pratt Institute in 2004. Her tattoo style is heavily influenced by Japanese, Polynesian, and traditional sailor motifs. Her artwork is influenced by Japanese and Mexican wood block prints, old photography, abandoned places, fireworks, old trucks, and the music she loves.

Things & Ink says…
With the recent launch of Lady Tattooers, a website dedicated to showcasing some incredible work from female tattooers around the world, we spoke with one of the website’s curators Betty Rose to find out all about the site, how tattooists can get involved and of course her own tattoo career.
“My name is Betty Rose and I’m a Brooklyn-based tattoo artist and painter at Eight of Swords Tattoo in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. My career began with an apprenticeship in 2004 and after eight years of working at a studio in Manhattan, I left NYC to travel for a year. Returning in 2013, I took up residency at Eight of Swords Tattoo.”
Things & Ink asked…
How do you decide which women to showcase? What do you hope the future will hold for Lady Tattooer?
The decision on who to showcase is based on a few different factors like talent, experience, etc. No one factor determines the decision; ultimately the decision comes down to what I think. On rare occasions I’ll put a Lady Tattooer to the front of the line because they inspire me on some level, or because I’ve been a fan of their work for a long time.
The future is such a tricky question…we only launched a few weeks ago and our original plan was going to have slow growth over time, but then we found out that people liked what we made. Since then we’ve re-evaluated our plans because of some amazing offers we’ve been getting. In short we don’t know if we’ll be doing anything different or if we’ll be releasing anything new, what you can count on is that we’ll definitely continue to publish posts on amazing Lady Tattooers every week.

The “Ladies, Ladies!” art show is a collection of works from both established and emerging female artists in the world of tattooing. Eight of Swords is excited to be the host of the third installment of this show in which female tattoo artists come together to prove that their work can turn heads just as well as their looks.
This event is sponsored by Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer and Jack From Brooklyn.
There will be an after party held at Passenger Bar (S3rd and Roebling). Drink specials all night with the show flyer, so be sure to pick one up before you leave!
The show:
With all the interest on television about tattooing these days, Ladies, Ladies! Art show, is an exhibition of the serious, albeit sometimes playful, side of what it takes to be a talented artist in the industry. Each of the over 60 artists that are participating have created original pieces of art to display for the event. While some of the artists may be familiar names in the world of tattooing, other participants are just breaking onto the scene. Ladies, Ladies! Art show is a means of representing the progress made by female artists in the once male dominated field of tattooing. The art show is also meant to pay respect to the old timers of the industry, the Ladies that paved the way for all others to come.
The artists:
Included in this years international line-up are: Rose Hardy, Ashley Love, Kate Hellenbrandt, Kit King, Drew Linden, Karen Glass, Alix Ge, Anna Melo, Mina Aoki, Marie Sena, Alexandra Skarsgård, Debra Yarian, Lara Scotton, Bruna Yonashiro, Gillian Goldstein, Miss Marshall, Lola Garcia, Viola von Hell, Zoe Bean, Dana Melissa Dixon, and many more.
The curators:
Curated by two Staten Island based tattooers, Elvia Iannaccone-Gezlev, who works at Masterpiece Tattoo, and Magie Serpica, an owner of Milk & Honey Tattoo, Ladies, Ladies! Art show has become their pet project. After working in the tattoo industry for a combined 25 plus years, both Ms. Serpica and Mrs.Iannaccone-Gezlev are familiar with what it takes and the extra work it requires to be a respected tattoo artist.
For more information on Ladies, Ladies! Art show, you can contact Elvia or Magie at LadiesLadiesArtShow@gmail.com,
or visit the website http://ladiesladies.wix.com/artshow
These works will be on display at the gallery through June 12th
