Family Tradition Tattoo

The Original Family Tradition Tattoo was founded in 1992 by John Eddy to honor his grandfather, CJ 'Pop' Eddy, a pioneer in tattooing known for his machines and for introducing barber/tattoo shop combos to the West Coast. John Eddy retired in 2013. Collin started working for John Eddy at the Original Family Tradition in 2010. In 2020, Collin and Smivee opened a small studio, C/S Tattoo Company, to navigate the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2023, with John Eddy's blessing, the studio was rebranded as Family Tradition, reviving the Eddy family's legacy and historical significance. Tattoos designed with enough integrity to last the test of time.
