A family's history in tattooing, from The Custom Tattoo Company in Havelock, North Carolina. Founded in 1983, carried forward by craft, tradition, and the next generation. In 1983, Jeff Cohen opened The Custom Tattoo Company across from the gates of Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point. A New York street kid turned Navy man, Jeff built something that outlasted him. His shop became a landmark. His family became his legacy. Dave Tedder: American Traditional and Japanese Irezumi. Twenty-five years in the craft. Over a hundred awards. Carries forward the tradition Jeff Cohen started, with a body of work grounded in bold lines of American Traditional and the discipline of Japanese Irezumi. Lauren Tedder: Traditional Americana, Dotwork, and Fineline. Raised in the shop by Jeff himself, returned to carry the family forward. Her work bridges classic Americana with the precision of contemporary techniques, earning recognition at conventions across the country. The Next Generation: Ronen is growing up surrounded by the same machines, the same flash, the same culture that shaped his parents. And the family is growing (second child expected May 2026).
