Comments (0) Best Good Samaritan Tattoo Joint - 2012
Fallen Owl Tattoo Studio
It's not uncommon for a herd of motorcycles to be parked outside of Fallen Owl Tattoo, a hard-core, old-school ink joint smack in the middle of a nondescript Lakewood strip mall. Inside, Sublime and Metallica play while owner Adam Rose moves his needle over a customer's bicep. But both Rose and his store have softer sides: Rose, who grew up with an older sister and a single mom, focuses roughly half of his business perspective on how to provide for children in homes like his own. Among other projects, 2011 found the shop partnering with the Flobots' Youth On Record program to design skateboard decks for auction and launched a Christmas special that traded ink for toys. This is one business that gives a hoot.
