Ink & Dagger Tattoo Parlour is proud to bring you "Man Day". What is "Man Day"? Well, only the most significant holiday of them all. Every year, couples celebrate Valentine's Day, and we all know that it's all about the ladies. So we've decided to let them have their candy hearts and roses and claim a new holiday for men everywhere.

On Saturday, August 14th, Ink & Dagger brings Americans a day to celebrate all things macho with a barrage of tattoos, stiff drinks, friendly competition, and good times.

Starting at noon, Ink & Dagger will open it's doors and let the festivities begin with a selection of tattoos for $50. After you get your manly badge of honor, head over to Twain's and raise a glass to the Y chromosome while enjoying a few pints of our limited edition "Man Day Brew". 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 dart board.

As the evening progresses, the Captain will host a carnival of events including an arm wrestling showdown, bobbing for lobsters, hot wing eating contest, handyman challenge, beard and mustache competitions, and much more.

Everyone wins on ‘Man Day' but a lucky few will win a free spin on Ink & Dagger's world-famous "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. You could win your share of $1000's in prizes including free tattoos!

So Tattooed came down from New York to hang out at Ink & Dagger for a day. While here they made a short clip about our shop. They are creating a video profile of tattoo shops around America for your viewing pleasure...

"Tattoos have come a long way since the days of green inked sailors. Don't get us wrong, being tattooed still gets weird looks from some, but most have embraced this art form. We would even go as far as calling it "mainstream". Tattoos have always been here, but now with the explosion of tattoo-inspired art, fashion, design and TV shows, it would be safe to say that the rest of the planet won't be satisfied until it's SO TATTOOED. That's where we come in. We aim to show you videos that feature the top artists and show off their art, and not just tattoos but any other art form they're into. So Tattooed's passions are Tattoos, Music, Art, Film, and Fashion."

Ink & Dagger is proud to be a sponsor of this year's Atlanta Tattoo Arts Festival. For those of you who have never been to a tattoo convention before, there will be live tattooing by some really talented artists. You can get tattooed by artists that you would normally need to catch a plane to collect from. It's also a great opportunity to buy tattoo related clothing, artwork, and gifts. A lot of people just like to go to the convention to get ideas and inspiration for their next tattoo or to meet other people that are fans of tattooing.
