20 F*cking Years
A Milestone Worth Celebrating (And Some Cool New Shit)
Let’s get something straight: I’ve officially been tattooing for two decades. Yep, 20 fucking years*. That’s 240 months, 1,040 weeks, and more late nights than I care to admit. You’d think after all this time I’d be tired of needles, but here I am, still putting ink on people and somehow not screwing it up.
So, to mark this big-ass milestone, I’ve put together some new merch and art that’ll either make you cheer or roll your eyes. Either way, let’s dive into this circus I’m calling my 20th anniversary collection.
The Anniversary Merch Drop
First up, clothing! Because nothing says "I’ve been tattooing for 20 years" like slapping your logo on some wearable shit.
The Raglan Tee
I wanted something nostalgic, like the shirts gym teachers wore while they yelled at you in middle school. It’s comfortable, stylish, and has "Johnny Truant Tattoo Est. 2005" on it so everyone knows you’re supporting someone who’s been hustling since flip phones were cool.Distressed Dad Hat
This one’s for all my fellow overworked degenerates who know the value of a hat that already looks like it’s been through a war. It’s got my logo on it, it’s adjustable, and it hides bad hair days (or no hair days).Denim Jacket
This one’s a fucking masterpiece, if I do say so myself. Perfect for channeling your inner rebel or just pretending you ride a motorcycle. Embroidered on the back with my anniversary logo so you can wear your loyalty on your sleeve—literally.Staple T-Shirt
The classic tee. It’s soft, it’s badass, and it’s as dependable as a good stencil. Available in Oxblood Black, because normal colors are for cowards.
The Flash Prints: Tattoo-Inspired Chaos
Let’s talk about these flash prints. Each one is printed on thick-ass 140lb watercolor paper because I don’t half-ass things. They’re signed and available individually ($10), or you can snag the whole goddamn set of 12 for $100. That’s like buying 10 and getting 2 free. I’m basically losing money here, but whatever.
These designs are all the weird, creepy, and hilarious tattoo-inspired crap you’ve come to expect from me. From skeletons to spiders, this collection has it all. Put them on your wall, your fridge, or give them to your mom if she’s into dark art.
Legacy Prints: The Glow-Up
Remember all those old prints I used to offer? Well, they’ve had a glow-up. These legacy works are now available in three shiny new formats:
Posters: Affordable, sleek, and perfect for sticking to your wall with thumbtacks like it’s a dorm room.
Framed Prints: For those of you who like your art to look classy AF.
Canvas Prints: For the true ballers who want their art to feel fancy and museum-worthy.
Oh, and if you’re into something extra special, I’ve got hand-embellished prints that are signed, numbered, and customizable. Want me to dedicate one to your weird uncle Steve? Done. First time I’ve ever offered these, and probably the last because I like my sanity.
Gift Cards, aka the Easiest Way to Make Someone Happy
Gift cards are back and better than ever! You can now use them for tattoo services at Lotus Tattoo (finally). They’re 20% off as part of my Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale, but only if you buy them through Lotus Tattoo’s website. My personal site isn’t vibing with discounts, but we found a workaround because I’m a problem-solving genius.
Other Cool Shit
Notebooks: Jot down your grocery lists or your manifesto.
Shoes: Yes, I made fucking shoes.
Bags: Because who doesn’t need another tote?
Wrapping It Up (Because This Is Getting Long)
This 20th anniversary collection isn’t just a merch drop—it’s a celebration of the weird, wonderful, exhausting, and rewarding career I’ve had as a tattoo artist. Whether you’re here for the art, the clothes, or just to laugh at my self-deprecation, I appreciate the hell out of you.
So, go check out the shop, snag some stuff, and celebrate two decades of tattoos, mistakes, and me somehow still surviving this wild ride.
Cheers,
Johnny
