The friendship dates back to when the duo played in a band called Grey Daze, which was a precursor to Chester's current position with Linkin Park. Club Tattoo is now in full partnership with Sean and Thora Dowdell and Chester and Samantha Bennington. The partnership is celebrating its 10th year in business.
