We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason, so please be respectful of our wishes and each other. This is a day to honour our friend by giving friends and the public a chance to get a tattoo and help his family at the same time.

We at Oceanic Art realize the use of certain imagery, such as inverted crosses and “the number of the beast” may offend some people. Please be advised this is not our intention. John Newcombe was fascinated by horror movies, the occult and religious artwork. He borrowed many symbols for his own personal artistic expression, much like any other artists may use symbolism to invoke emotion. Please know that this does not in any way represent John’s – or the rest of our team members’ – spiritual and religious beliefs. We have decided to honour our friend, John, for who he was and the art he loved. We are simply honouring our fallen friend as he would have wanted. Oceanic Art apologizes if anyone has taken offence to our tribute to John.
