Sullen Clothing got its start from being heavily influenced by Southern California beach culture and tattoo inspired art. With a strong focus on ideals and practices of modern tattooers, Sullen evolved from a small group of art driven tattooers and artists into a world renowned “Art Collective". As a whole, the “Collective” is drawn to the idea that art of all forms should be promoted, while related ideas should be shared for the world to learn from.

Handmade in extremely limited quantities, the El Chapo Custom Bishop Rotary machines showcase the finest talents of Hernan. It was only fitting that we combine his passion for this beautiful art form with the finest machines there are, and set the world ablaze with these magnificent works of art.

Available in 2 styles, these machines are for the artists and collectors who seek to set themselves apart from the pack. The EL CHAPO STANDARD WAND has custom engravings on the middle ring, or 'spline' of the machine. The EL CHAPO DELUXE WAND has the engraved spline, as well as engraving on backplate of the machine. Hours of engraving go into every single one of these golden beauties.

If you were to look in the dictionary under “Black and Grey Realism”, you’d see a picture of David Vega. Few artists in the world approach David’s quality, attention to detail, and painstaking perfection – he is a master of the craft.

Franco: “So let's talk a little bit about the OG Abel x Fantom. So many options — but we landed on silver. It's a sleek look. We felt it really pops the gold coin on the back. Tell us about the artwork behind the machine.”

OG Abel: “The artwork is a piece that I call 'Time is Money'. It's sad, but time flies. It just points out how important it is for you to value every moment of your life. Not waste time and don't sweat the small stuff. Focus on things that you cherish. Give a middle finger to negativity, you know. And that's why I changed the Rolex. I dropped four of the points and let the middle one stick out because you need to be focused. And while you're tattooing, what else than to be focused?”

Bishop Rotary was proud to announce the collaboration of one of the most influential poets of our time. Tattooing helps tell the story of our own personal journeys. Tupac Shakur was more than a voice of a generation. He was a reflection of that rebel spirit that lives within each one of us as a tattoo artist.

“From the time when Franco allowed me to put the Big Sleep sticker on a Bishop. On the V6. Then to the Microangelo, to this.

Given this gold Wand like this with that color and to see that engraved number. It's been a long road man. So I'm super hyped on this.”

“My name is Sasha. I'm the owner of Sasha Tattooing LA. I've been tattooing about 10 years. I was into painting, drawing. And when I started tattooing myself and my husband in maybe like a few weeks, I started tattooing other friends. And everybody paid me. My salary, at that time, was more than I had in my job. That was the day when I realized,"Okay, I'm gonna tattoo".“
