About TattooNOW

Helping tattooers leave the longest lasting positive impact on humanity possible has been our mission since the mid-90s.

Gabe Ripley in the Media:

Gabe has been programming computers for over 20 years. With a career that included developing CD-ROMs for Honda, touch-screen kiosks for the Epcot Center, & Smurf video games in Belgium. Since 2003 Gabe has been working exclusively for the tattoo industry. He hasn't slept much since then, but now has a lot more tattoos.

Mission & Values:

Core Values:

Enlightenment - Education: To this end, we help as much as we can to create and tap into inspiring and educational events both in person and online.

Evolution

- Have done things differently since the beginning, and helped tattooers, studios, and companies evolve with the times. Both technology and the culture demand it.

Endurance

- It takes a long time of discomfort to get to the pretty thing. We have been competing with free since the mid-90s. Gone through 8 figure ups and downs. Will be working in the tattoo world to help tattooers leave their maximum impact till the end.
