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 special 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. Also, look for us at tattoo
conventions throughout the US and Canada
& in 2011 Australia!
We believe that not only will people
appreciate our decks for being a strong (7
ply Canadian Hard-Rock Maple wood) 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!
BLEMS
AVAILABLE:
Anyone out there interested in getting
some decks that are blemished (1-10, 10
being best between 7-9) Visit
our FB
page for
list of decks available only to our FB
patrons. Still great for display and if
you ever wanted to set one up to ride even
better!
