ERIC BROTHERTON - Growing up in Douglas, Massachusetts, Eric was introduced to art early in life by his father, a professional letterer & pinstriper. After serving in the U.S. Army he moved to California, where he took his knowledge and started pinstriping motorcycles; the popular art style paved a path for him into the tattoo world. With excellent work ethic and eye for design he worked hard to develop his skills as an artist, working at Gallery of Dermagraphics, and Dead Horse Tattoo at the turning point of tattoos in Massachusetts, where they had previously been illegal. Eventually owning his own tattoo shop in Wooster, Mass. he spent some time near home but had the urge to return to California. Eric was offered a position at Raygun Tattoo in Dana Point where he worked from 2002-2009, and Streamline Tattoo in Pacific Beach, San Diego, before hitting the road with his family to travel, and pick-up guest spots at tattoo shops before settling in Acadiana.
