AFTER PARTY @ GRAVEYARD TAVERN: 8 - your man'ed out

On Saturday, August 8th, Ink & Dagger brings men young and old a day to celebrate all things macho with a day of tattoos, BBQ, stiff drinks, friendly competition, and good times.

Starting at noon, Ink & Dagger will open its doors and let the festivities begin with a smorgasbord of manly tattoo designs for $50 or less. After you get your manly badge of honor, head to the big tent and raise a glass to the Y-chromosome while enjoying a plate of the city’s finest BBQ. Stick around for a live sideshow performance from the world famous Capt. Stab-Tuggo. He’ll amaze your eyes and astound your senses as he performs timeless sideshow acts including sword swallowing and the human pincushion.

As the day progresses, the Captain will host a carnival of events including an lady dunk tank, arm wrestling showdown, bobbing for lobsters, wing eating contest, cinder block toss, and the human dart board... to name a few!

Everyone wins on “Man Day” but a lucky few will win a free spin on Ink & Dagger’s soon to be world famous “Tattoo Wheel of Destiny”. Once you emerge victorious from one of our manly competitions, your true destiny awaits as you step up and face the wheel. Throw caution to the wind and give it a spin.

The festivities don't end there... The Man Day after party is hosted by our friends at The Graveyard Tavern. You won't want to miss the painted ladies and debauchery!

Don’t worry ladies, if you’ve been thinking this day would have nothing to offer you, you’ve got it all wrong. No man is worth a damn without a good woman at his side. So we wouldn’t dream of excluding you… just keep those skirts short and your necklines low. We’ll see you on “Man Day”!!!

...YOU WON'T WANT TO MISS THIS!

Yes, this is a sure way to get laid. Gentlemen:* take note. Nothing makes the ladies flock like a hilarious tattoo of beef curtains. But don’t stop there! Be sure to go that extra mile and imply that behind the curtains lies an old and busted haunted house of a vagina.

Tom Michael (aka: Ugly) is returning for his 4th guest spot at Ink & Dagger June 25th - July 1st, 2009.

I’d like to extend a huge thank you to Jim Beam for choosing me as a subject for their new ad campaign. This short documentary film, along with ads featuring yours truly in magazines such as Maxim, Rolling Stone, Garage, and Inked is all part of a new kind of ad campaign that the fine folks at Jim Beam are currently rolling out. Instead of telling everyone how great their product is- they want to show you with their actions by helping me and the other subjects reach the next level of success.
