The Story of Dark Pearl Tattoo

Chuck and Aric started tattooing in 2005 and 2007, respectively.

They met in 2008 (even though they lived across from each other as

children and never met!), when Aric convinced Chuck to let him start his apprenticeship, and they soon became best friends over their shared love

for tattooing. In 2009, they both packed up and moved to Hollywood to give their careers a big push; Aric went back to Rochester at the end of the year and Chuck remained in LA. During this intermission, Aric tattooed around Rochester and throughout several states. In 2012, Chuck moved back to Rochester and in with Aric at their base of operations, and together they opened Tumbleweed in 2013 as their first tattoo shop. Aric decided to move to South Carolina in 2016 to build up his clientele there, and Chuck moved back to California to continue his work there. But in 2017 they called each other up, came back together and opened up Dark Pearl Tattoo in

their Rochester roots, sharing their artistry with friends and family.
