Pete is the man that started it all. His drive to build the best tattoo parlour was brought on from his training with some of the legends in tattooing. Most importantly, The Colonel Todd. He worked with the Colonel at the oldest tattoo studio in America, Bert Grimms Tattoo Studio on the Pike in Long Beach CA. Pete opened the studio in 1976! The Tattoo Factory is truly a Chicago landmark. Pete's vision lives on through the eyes of his brother Paul, who truly believes that if the Tattoo Factory stays open, then Tattoo Pete will live on.......
