      This week Betty and I headed over to Great Lakes Tattoo Chicago.

      Now until the end of the month check out the work of tattoo artist and painter Robert Ryan. The exhibit, in the Great State Gallery below the shop, features paintings and his book release, The Inborn Absolute. Merging classic American tattoo style and Eastern religious iconography, Ryan’s spiritual practice both informs and is reflected in his paintings and tattoos.

      While visiting the gallery don't miss the tattoo shop itself. A welcoming atmosphere invites you to enjoy art along the wall and encased tattoo memorabilia.
