Oliver Peck, who is also known as 'Oliver Pecker, F***k face, or Ducky'. I'm not sure why he has these nick names but he's got 'em. This guy is one of my favorite artists. He was a judge on the TV series 'Ink Master'. He is known for his precise art in tattooing. His whole life is based around tattoos. He probably couldn't live if he couldn't tattoo. This guy holds a world record for the most tattoos done in an hour. 415 tattoos of the number 13! You go Peck. I have always wondered why he has a toothpick in his mouth. I tried to find out why but I found no answer to it. Amazingly he travels around on the Vans Warped Tour bus and tattoos! That makes me want to go to Warped even more. (Thus why he most the time can be spotted reppin' Vans). |
He loves Friday the 13th. He always tattoos a 13 on someone whenever the calendar says to. Oliver is deffinatley a traditional style kind of guy. His lines are perfect. Even his new style stuff like angels in a back piece, he tried to make not too far off from an old school pin up.
I love that he stays true to tattooing. Most people change their styles and are totally different from when they first started the art. Which, don't get me wrong, sometimes this is a good thing. For example I'm changing my style to fit more traditional tattooing. I used to be really big on cartoons and silly things. Now I'm drawing roses and skulls and juts normal things people would normally get tattooed. Okay, back to Oliver.
He has always drawn and painted. As soon as Peck knew what a tattoo was, he wanted one. His first tattoo was a moon and a star, badass right? ha. It was off of a skateboard logo so at the time he thought it was pretty cool. He has no cover ups or Lasering tattoos. He doesn't believe in getting rid of a tattoo, which I totally agree with and would like to live to that. (other than my first tattoo was a crappy half sleeve done for fifty bucks, so yes I am in the process of covering this bad boy up. Ya get what ya pay for.)
He works at elm street tattoo. him and a couple friends came together from different shops, and took over a shop that was going out of business. so it was a five way partnership. But as most shops go, people come and go and now it's just Peck, and one parter, dean williams. this is there 13th year in business.
Peck designs a lot of stuff for Vans and Warped tour. He has a few shoe designs. He is the 'vans man' which I like. That's about all I feel like saying about this amazing artist. Wanna learn more about him and other amazing artists? Well, that's what google is for :)
