Rich Cahill is a tattoo artist, painter, musician, and protester. After starting a successful chain of tattoo shops, Immortal Ink, Rich has sold his business to start a fresh art studio and tattoo shop in Frenchtown, New Jersey where he can express himself in his own unique way. The Tattoo Life is the story of Rich's career and a portrait of his life, all leading up to his Frenchtown Studio.

This piece is captivating for tattoo aficionados and art fans alike, and attracts more than just artists with his charisma, personality, and interesting talents.
