Keeping The Memories Alive

Some people start brands to make noise.

I started mine to make sure no one is forgotten.

Dead Idols isn’t just a name—it’s a promise.

To remember.

To honor.

To carry the fire.

This whole thing was built out of memory. Of people who shaped me—tattooers, artists, mentors, misfits—some of them gone, but never lost.

Ron Taylor. Tattoo Ted. The ones who gave more than they ever asked for.

They lived fully, freely, and without apology. And they left their mark on me.

I didn’t want to let that slip into the past.

So I made something to hold it.

A print. A patch. A page. A story.

Anything I could make with my hands that could speak louder than silence.

This brand isn’t about chasing trends or turning art into product.

It’s about keeping the ghosts close.

It’s about building a handmade altar out of fabric, flash, and feeling.

It’s about saying: This mattered. And it still does.

I don’t know where all this will go. But I know where it came from.

And I know why I keep showing up.

Not for clout. Not for numbers.

But to make sure the ones who marked me are never erased.

This is memory turned into motion.

This is legacy stitched and screen printed.

This is Dead Idols.

For those who left their mark.
