Shaws is one of the oldest & most famous tattoo families in the U.S.A. known all over the world. The most from coast to coast. Shaws also just sold the oldest Tattoo Studio in the world in Long Beach, California. "World Famous Bert Grimms Tattoo Studio" 22 Chestnut Place in Long Beach, opened in 1927. This is where the Shaws were before coming to Houston in 1979. Bert Grimm was Bob Shaw's mentor Bert Tattooed for about 65 yrs. Bob, which is Larry's Dad - Lil Larry's Grandpa, Tattooed for over 50 years before leaving for a better place. Bob helped pass & set the standards on Tattooing & the Technique on sterilization back in the 60's. Bob was also the President of the Worlds Largest Tattoo Association - National Tattoo Association when he passed away on Mar. 17, 1993. He was the 3rd inductee into the Tattoo Hall of Fame - which was called the Golden Age Award - honoring those tattooing for 50 yrs - which was later changed to the Bob Shaw award. Bert was the 1st inductee into the Hall of Fame. Our other family member was the #9 inductee in the Hall of Fame, he was Col W.L. Todd, who worked with the Shaws from the late 50's to his passing on June 12, 1994. Also, to keep the tradition alive Mr. Larry Shaw was presented the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2009 at the Body Art Expo in Houston, TX. He was also given the Bob Shaw Award in April 2013 in South Dakota by the National Tattoo Association. So you can see (quite) a history in tattooing. The Shaws have been around for a long time. We specialize in Traditional, Oriental, Tribal, Fine Line & Custom Tattooing.
