Bob Tyrrell is a tattoo artist born in Detroit, USA and currently based in Warren, Michigan, began tattooing in his 30s.[1] He is well known for his horror themed black and grey tattoos. He has been featured on episodes on LA Ink and London Ink. He has tattooed Kid Rock's back.[2]
Much like Stéphane and Patrick’s ancestor and knight of the legion of honor[3] Eusèbe Joseph Adolphe Chaudesaigues, and founder of the Prix Chaudesaigues at the Beaux Arts of Paris school, the two brothers have emulated their ancestor and created the Chaudesaigues Award.[4] Léon Jaussely, the famous architect, was among the laureates to win the original award created by Eusèbe Joseph Adolphe Chaudesaigues.
For its first edition the presentation of the trophy will take place at Best of the Midwest, the convention organized by the famous and very talented Shane O’Neill in February 2012.
The Chaudesaigues Award rewards the career and the artistic choices of a tattoo artist[5]. The prize will be bequeathed during an international tattoo convention. For 2012, the jury[6] will consist of Nikko Hurtado, Shane O’Neill, Boris Zalaszam, Andréa Afferni, and other prestigious honorary members such as Victor Portugal, Pedro Alvarez, Madame Vyvyn Lazonga, Brian Everett, Joe Capobianco and Bob Tyrrell.[7]
