Born on July 19, 1972, in Covington, Kentucky, Charlie lived a life defined by creativity, grit, and an unwavering devotion to his craft. A gifted artist with a spirit all his own, Charlie was the owner, operator, and driving force behind Hot Rod Charlie's Tattoo Shops. His steady hand, boundless imagination, and ability to capture stories in ink earned him a respected place not only in the tattooing community but also in the lives of countless clients who trusted him with their most meaningful expressions.

Beyond his work, Charlie will be remembered for his big heart, sharp humor, and the unmistakable presence he brought into every room. Whether he was sketching a new design, offering a word of encouragement, or sharing a laugh, he did so with authenticity and warmth. His legacy is etched not only on the skin of those he tattooed but also in the memories of those who loved him. Preceding Charlie in death was his father, Charles Mounce, Sr. and his sister, Sarah Mounce.
