The World's First Tattoo & Skateboard Co.



Based in San Diego, CA at Master Tattoo Studio, downtown's oldest tattoo studio etablished in 1949. Owned and operated by people in the tattoo and skate community, it serves as our foundation to what has become TNS Industries. Born in 2004, our mission was simple...to create, promote and spread the appreciation of tattoo art and it's amazing artists, using the skateboard as a medium. Scanned directly from the originals provided by our contributing artists' the prints are then reproduced limited to 1500 pieces to offer collectors and tattoo enthusiasts an opportunity to own our brand of skatedeck art from some of today's best renown & upcoming tattoo artists from around the globe.

You can find TNS Industries decks online at our website or at "very very select" retailers and skateshops. Also, look for us at tattoo conventions throughout North America & in 2008 Europe!

We believe that not only will people appreciate our decks for being a strong and well crafted skateboard, but they will also appreciate it for it's artwork that makes our deck a moving piece of art....great for play or display!
