Mitch Teckman

Mitch was inspired at a young age by his artistic mother, who exposed him to different mediums such as Wood burning, acrylic, oil, pastels, and clay. He then went on to draw comic book art with grade school friends that shared his appreciation for pen and ink drawing. Art has always provided an escape for him, a space that he explored as he grew up, first with pencil drawing and eventually with tattooing. He began tattooing in the summer of 2002. while playing Guitar for a local Rock band called Stigma. Creating Tattoos, music, art, and custom graphic designs for clothing are the main focus of Mitch’s life. Each day brings a new artistic challenge, coupled with people’s life stories and visions. For Mitch, tattooing is a therapeutic process where clients enter his shop seeking change provided by a tattoo: For some it may be to get closure and healing from the loss of a loved one, personal growth, or maybe milestones in one’s life. He says it’s an honor to be a conduit by which those moments are permanently engraved on skin.

Mitch began Legendary Tattoos in the back of his close friends custom sign shop 15 years ago. A beginning that he did not realize would shape his future goals concerning graphic design and custom apparel printing. After years of tattooing six days a week, He began to study the art of screen printing as a side hustle. A way to transfer his tattoo inspired concepts onto clothing as a way to promote the Tattoo Shop. It was a means of expressing his appreciation and commitment to the tattoo industry and art community. He started Legendary Screen Printing eight years ago and his Custom apparel printing shop Offers custom Screen Printing, Embroidery Services, Graphic Design, Logo Creation, and Direct to Garment Printing for any business or brand that is looking for high quality apparel printing.
