Passing the Mantle at Maggie Maye's Tucson Tattoo

Well, it doesn't seem like ten years since we opened the doors at Maggie Maye's but the calender doesn't lie I guess. It's been quite a ride through the mean times and the lean times and the shop has been through many changes. We have watched Maggie and William grow from the shop babies into beautiful little people. We've seen our complex turn from run down and neglected into a picturesque and growing colony of artists studios with some of the finest oil painters in the nation working and teaching there daily. The time has come for us to step back from the shop and devote more time to running the colony and school.
Susan and I will continue to tattoo by appointment in our private studios. The rest of my time I will spend painting.
