Bobby Glennon - Resident Artist of Pure Ink Tattoo Studios in Ledgewood, NJ

Bobby Glennon, widely known as Tattoo Bob, embarked on his tattooing career in 1994 and expanded into piercing by 1999. His passion for tattooing began at a young age. At just 9 years old, Bobby attended a freak show at the Delaware State Fair, where a tattoo stand near the exit caught his eye. Needless to say, Bobby pretty much had to be dragged out of that convention. This early fascination ignited a lifelong love affair with tattoos.

By the age of 18, Bobby started getting tattooed. While still in high school, he attended his first National Tattoo Society convention at the Meadowlands in New Jersey. It was at this convention that his love for tattoos blossomed into a true passion. By the time he graduated, he was already half-sleeved.

In 1993, Bobby was working in construction while continuing to get heavily tattooed, becoming a dedicated tattoo collector. He received significant work from renowned artists like Joe Capobianco, Kat Von D, and Eric Merrill. When his main tattoo artist asked if he was interested in learning the trade. Bobby never thought he would ever get the opportunity to become a tattoo artist, so he grabbed a hold of that chance and ran with it!

During his apprenticeship, Bobby adopted an important principle: "If you treat tattooing good, tattooing will take care of you." Nearly 25 years later, he continues to live by these words every day. His passion has paid off, allowing him to make an honest living doing what he loves. "My passion has paid off and I have been lucky enough to be able to earn an honest living doing something that I absolutely love... it's life changing for sure!"
