Often imitated, but never duplicated a small shop named American Graffiti tattoo was opened in 1991 by legendary tattooer Eric Hogan and his two partners, Scott Sylvia and Nate Sponsler. As their quality of work spread throughout the town, their clientel and reputation grew. With business booming it was very apparent that it was time for a larger location. Soon after, they purchased an old Victorian, two-story house in the heart of midtown Sacramento. It was there that the artists continued to produce top quality tattoos while customers lined up and out the door. Eric had achieved his dream of becoming a world-class tattoo artist and owning a successful business. After the death of Eric Hogan on April 7, 2001, his wife Thea Hogan took over full ownership.
