alking along the Venice Beach boardwalk, we met thirty two year old tattoo
artist Rick Meyer at Ocean Front Tattoo
Shop. He kindly took the time to show us his work
and tell me a little bit about where he came from as
a tattoo artist.
Originally from Philadelphia, Rick has tattooed
professionally around the United States spending
time in California, Hawaii, and Vermont.

“You have to have the willingness to learn
and be professional with what you do.
Where I am today hasn’t been an easy
journey by any means, but it has been
extremely rewarding. Knowing that my
artwork is being enjoyed by my clients
around the globe makes it all worth it.”
says Rick.
Rick tries to be as versatile as he can as
an artist. He says it’s nice to not be limited when working with people in different
genres of tattoo art, such as polynesian,
black and grey, color, and realism. Now
Rick is moving on to new opportunities
which will take him to the East Coast. He
says that Ocean Front Tattoo taught him
a lot about West Coast black and grey
tattoos and he is now looking forward to
taking his visions to the east.
