About Club Tattoo: Sean Dowdell founded Club Tattoo in 1995, with help from friend Chester Bennington of Linkin Park. Back then Chester helped Sean construct the original location. The friendship dates back to when the duo played in a band called Grey Daze, which was a precursor to Chester's current position with Linkin Park. Club Tattoo is now in full partnership with Sean and Thora Dowdell and Chester and Samantha Bennington. The partnership is celebrating its 10th year in business. Club Tattoo currently has three Phoenix area locations: 1212 E. Apache #104 in Tempe, 825. S. Rural Rd. in Tempe, and the newest on 1423 S. Country Club Dr. in Mesa.

Club Tattoo has won Best of Arizona for five years running, and received an enormous amount of international press. They have become world-renowned for their artists and piercers. Club Tattoo's clothing line has also become a popular trend in Arizona, California and Nevada, and is quickly spreading across the nation.
