Now in its 13th year, the Buffalo Chip Tattoo Café has established a reputation at the Sturgis Rally as the place to go for awesome artwork in a sanitary environment.
“Our customers know they can get really kick-ass work on site and not have to worry about the variables that can happen when you are in that environment. What we’ve established is a health-coded environment that has well-rounded artists who travel all year long during conventions. A lot are shop owners, including myself.
“We really pay attention to the clients,” he said. “My mentality as an artist is the same as the other artists because I hand-picked them. We like to get to know the client. In the majority of cases you need to know a little bit about them so you can make something that’s unique to them as an individual rather than just a robot piece.”
- Shaun Kama

At a young age, Ron Gilmore knew one day he would be tattooing. His interests in the arts began in the second grade when winning first place for a book report at the book fair in Georgia where he grew up. Some of his influences include a cousin who is also a tattooer based in Florida. To name a few others, Russ Abbott, Deno Cook and Yogi Barret whom he met at Pycho Tattoo in Marietta, Georgia. Ron served 10 years in the Air Force where he also acquired the skill for tattooing and left to permanently tattoo full time. Nineteen years later, Ron now living in Las Vegas for the past 11 years has focused on American Traditional style of tattooing as well as script and other techniques/ mediums such as painting and pin striping. Ron always strives to increase his skill with every tattoo he creates.
