MÖTLEY CRÜE Frontman Talks 'Vince Neil Ink'

December 19, 2007

Mike Hegedus of CNBC.com reports: It sounds a little like an angry bee. The tattoo needle doing it's job. The job it's doing right now is on a young women's butt, "freshening up" a couple of cherries. Nice work. And so are the tattoos. The name of the place is Vince Neil Ink, and for rock and roll aficionados, it is "that" Vince Neil, lead singer for 80's rock mega band, MÖTLEY CRÜE.

"I was walking down the Strip, and I got out my phone, and I called Vince. I said, 'Dude, we want to open a tattoo parlor, and I want to do it with you.' " Don Marrandino and I are chatting under a rather large picture of some kind of animal with it's tongue sticking out, and there's a blaring TV with MÖTLEY CRÜE videos playing.

He also happens to be the President of Harrah's and the Flamingo. He raises his voice a little, "It's one of the great pieces of real estate on the Strip. Thirty-five thousand people a day walk by this store front."

And a lot of them have tattoos, or want to have tattoos. And that's what Vince Neil is counting on. At 46, Neil is trying to find his next act, a non-musical one.

"I'll always be the 'music guy'. But right now I'm looking for something new. I like taking a new thing and building it and seeing what happens. I could just retire and play golf, but I tried that already a couple of times and it just doesn't work. It's not me."
