Traveling Tattoo Company is making their return to Sturgis at the Broken Spoke Campground! This marks the 4th year of their commitment to make Broken Spoke Campground- the place you want to visit for your annual ink visit! Working with some of the biggest names in tattooing from around the globe, Traveling Tattoo Company is bringing the talent from the corners of the United States to you!
Traveling Tattoo Company is owned and operated by rock singer/performer, Jasmine Cain who is born and raised in Sturgis, South Dakota. A veteran of motorcycle events and hometown girl who believes in loyalty and takes great pride in whatever she sets her mind to do.
"The Traveling Tattoo Company was a new venture for me. We took a tattoo artist on the road with our band in 2010 and basically set up shop wherever we were performing. I learned so much about the art of tattooing and learned the importance and details of keeping a sterile and clean environment where people could feel comfortable that they were getting a top-notch tattoo in a clean location. I met tons of new artists and saw the demand for different kinds of art depending on what location you were visiting".
Joining the Traveling Tattoo Company this year is legendary artist, Jojo Miller. Jojo is a California native who has a special interest in rock music, which is what brought he and Jasmine Cain together. He has inked many famous rockers from the members of Shinedown to Nickelback and Saving Abel. Here's what the boys from Saving Abel had to say:
"We're all artistic to a certain degree. I mean, I can't draw a stick figure, but I know when something is appealing to me. My father, who's a doctor, is also a phenomenal artist….and obviously, as musicians, we're artists with sound. It's all about that creative side of the brain.

Every musician has it, but I'm not sure what sets us apart." And then Jason jumped in with, "It all started with the song we had, New Tattoo – I mean, that's where it all came into play. We ran into this really great guy from Corpus Christi named Jojo Miller (from Electra Art), and we all opted to have tats done by him. And we became really good friends with him and he came out on the road with us. I don't know if that's a common thing or not, but for us personally that was one of the things that got us rolling with the tattoos – having a good friend that could come out and spend time with us, even ride the bus with us for a week at a time." "Oh yeah," Scott agreed. "And he would ask us stuff….he'd be like, 'OK, you want this – now tell me why." Scott explained that Jojo would come up with a few different ideas and continue to ask questions to dig for the deeper purpose of the tattoo so that it could be portrayed accurately in picture form. That kind of connection to the spiritual side of body art is what makes Jojo a special artist, and he's teaching his clients to have that same connection. It's no wonder Saving Abel has such a true passion for tattoos. Now Jojo is enjoying his own notoriety by traveling with other rock bands just as he did with Saving Abel, and has recently inked members of Papa Roach, Shinedown, Nickelback and Hinder.
