Tony Max

Anthony got his first tattoo at the age of five when he tripped and fell on a pencil lead and it left a mark on the palm of his hand for years. Soon he began using markers to illustrate his body, despite the fact he had never seen a tattoo. When he had graduated school, he bounced around several universities studying Art History and Painting, all the while creating flash designs for his friends who wanted ink.

After a few years of college, Anthony dropped out and began his tattoo apprenticeship in 1999 under David Evans of Underground Art. Through that shop's guest spots, he was able to meet and study the work of some of the greatest artists in the industry, such as Tim Biedron, Randy Muller and Roger Seliner.

He's stuck with the business for many years now and has taken skin illustration as a lifelong mission. He tries his damnedest to create rich colorful tattoos that tell a story, especially with mythical or alchemical themes. When he's not busy talking in the third person, Anthony spends his time painting in acrylics and reading whatever he gets his sweaty mits on.

Luke

It all started back in May of 2003 when I was a desk girl at Trilogy. At this point Paul Cade took me under his wing and decided to let me apprentice under him. For the next year Paul taught me everything I needed to know about piercing. I also had the privilege of learning from two other equally talented pierces: Michael Crites and Brent Hale. I am still at Trilogy, we have three pierces there. Myself, Brent Hall and Tim Homan. Between us there is over 40 years of knowledge and experience. If you want the best piercing around then we will see you soon. My hours during the week are Monday 12p-6p, Tuesday 12p-6p, Thursday 6p-12a, Friday 7:30p-3a and Saturday 7:30p-3a.
