Chip Douglas
After 15 years of tattooing in Southern California, Chip Douglas made his way back home to join the team at GLT in 2017. While specializing in large Japanese and Polynesian style work, he also enjoys tattooing American traditional designs or whatever you have in your phone. Chip loves burritos, big cars, and small dogs. He is available for appointments on Sundays, Mondays, and Thursdays, and walk-ins only on Saturdays.
