Chad 

Chad has been practicing the fine art of tattooing and piercing since 1996.  With no official apprenticeship it wasn't easy, but persistence has prevailed.

Opening his first studio in 1996 - Forever Ink,  located in Sanford, Maine was a true learning experience.  With some outside help from business and tattoo minds alike the shop was soon a success.

Our latest business; Venom Ink Tattoo started November 2004 in Dover, New Hampshire with the help from some much loved friends, Dan & Donna.  After quickly developing a strong clientele the shop moved to it's new location in Sanford, Maine.

The shop is thriving, busy...busy...busy!  With two great daughters and the perfect woman, staying grounded is not a problem.  

Venom Ink gains new clientele daily and strives to make each and everyone of them proud to wear our work.

Happy Inkin', See Ya Soon!

Kelly

Life & business partner, Kelly has been on Chad's roller coaster ride for the better part of five years.  She received her first tattoo from Chad in 1997 and has been a part of his life ever since.

Kelly's role is part shop owner, loving fiancé and apprentice.  Without Kelly, the shop would not run smoothly, appointments would never get made, bills would not be paid, and orders would not be placed.

Have no doubt, she is a business woman, but also an aspiring artist.  Many hours of drawing has led Kelly to the threshold of tattooing.  Soon, Kelly will be inking with Chad's guidance and you can bet it will be good!!
