************All or Nothing Voted Best Tattoo parlor in Atlanta AGAIN! ************** We were recently awarded SIX more "BEST OF ATLANTA" awards this year. We have won these awards and countless others since our inception. All or Nothing would like to thank Creative Loafing Magazine for another year of awards and trophies and we would like to thank our loyal clients, friends, fans and family and everyone who voted for us!!!!! Heres a list of the awards for this years "Best of Atlanta" edition of Creative Loafing Magazine:
"Best of Atlanta Tattoo Studio 2006" All Or Nothing Tattoos

"Best of Atlanta Piercing Studio 2006" All Or Nothing Tattoos

"Best New Trend in The Arts 2006" All Or Nothing Tattoos

"Best Friend of the Arts 2006" Brandon Bond

"Best Local artist on the National Scene 2006" Brandon Bond

"Best Emerging Visual Artist 2006" Dave Tedder

The cool thing about this set of awards is that THIS MAGAZINE has NOTHING to do with TATTOOS! It seems like we get awards from somewhere every month, but it is always a tattoo industry type thing like tattoo conventions, bike shows, tattoo magazines, tattoo contests at bars or car shows, etc... So thanks CL for the mainstream type metro magazine nod.... we appreciate it!

We are ALSO releasing an instructional "how to" seminar DVD from BRANDON BOND. (we do not yet have the exact release date, pricing info, or order info, but as soon as its released it will be availible at www.strangleholdmerch.com) . Full Lock Media and Stranglehold Publishing are going to release the most awesome seminar video ever (late 06 early 07) We filmed (with multiple cameras and great sound) the North Carolina tattoo Convention seminar and the Jacksonville Tattoo Fest seminar!!! We are editing them together with interwoven shots of up close, for real, tattooing by Mr. Bond and the All or Nothing staff. Everything discussed in the seminar will be shown up close and all totally easy to understand.

There is also a LARGE section on promotion, internet precence, portfolio building and it comes with the "secret list" of all worldwide tattoo magazines contact info and exact people to mail them to. In some instances you will be sending your art to the actual editor at home, or at his/her tattoo shop skipping the magazine process altogether and getting your stuff directly to the most important hands.

This section is highlighted by an appearance by JOY SURLES editor of SKIN ART, TATTOO REVUE, TATTOOS FOR MEN, TATTOOS FOR WOMEN, HARDCORE INK, OUTLAW BIKER, AND HARDCORE INK MAGAZINES. She explains exactly what to send, when, where and why and how to get articles and how to saturate issues and why what Brandon Bond and All or Nothing did woked so well. We discuss photgraphing tattoos, digital vs 35 mm, healed and unhealed photography etc! This is the most information of a top secret nature that you will EVER find in one dvd! Its fu*king amazing. We are extremely pleased with what the production team and camera men came up with! The video covers EVERYTHING. It will blow your minds. Heres MORE of what the seminar covers...
