The Golden Knights have partnered with local tattoo shop Revolt Tattoos to provide free Golden Knights-themed ink to fans during home playoff games. Shop owner Joey Hamilton said the partnership started during the Golden Knights’ postseason run in their inaugural season of 2017-18 when executives approached them to tattoo some logos, which had never been done before. Since then, Hamilton and two other artists have become a fixture at Toshiba Plaza during Golden Knights home playoff games, tattooing around 35 to 40 fans per day.
Hamilton Hopes to Expand Partnership
Hamilton estimates that they could easily tattoo hundreds of fans per day if they had the manpower and hopes to expand the partnership to other teams in the future. While the artists at Revolt Tattoos have their sights set on expansion, they are currently focused on supporting the Golden Knights in the postseason.
Hamilton Has Tattooed Golden Knights Players
Hamilton, who won season three of “Ink Master,” has tattooed several Golden Knights players including former players Maxime Lagacé and Deryk Engelland, as well as Vegas right winger Keegan Kolesar. Revolt Tattoos’ other NHL clients include Alex Tuch, Cody Eakin, and James Neal.
Revolt Tattoos Eyeing Partnership with Houston and Raiders
Revolt Tattoos has been in business for eight years and has two locations outside of Nevada in Salt Lake City and Houston. Hamilton believes they could expand the partnership to other teams, including the Las Vegas Raiders. The tattoo shop hopes to become the official tattoo shop for the Golden Knights one day.
