White Ghost / Founder & CEO

Throughout his career, Ghost has left an indelible mark on the business landscape. While he was alive in the early 1900s he owned and operated the first ever freak show in Coney Island called “The House Of Revulsion” on Surf Avenue. His sideshow went on to garner national acclaim and was sold to P.T. Barnum in 1921 for $17,000 (which actually was a shitload of money back then). Sadly, later that year he died in a tragic accident when he was eaten alive by Dog-Face Boy. He spent the next 100 years haunting attics, rattling chains and moaning. But in October of 2023 he realized he was meant to do more than just aimlessly roaming random graveyards — so he took the $17,000 he made from P.T. Barnum and opened a tattoo studio with Anthony in Brooklyn.
