Updates

Its been a while since we have updated this. For those that dont know, Pete was offered a job at Super Genius in Seattle over the summer. He moved there at the beginning of September. We are very stoked for him, its a great oppertunity for him to grow and continully get better as an artist. As sad as it was to see him go, we wish him the best of luck and have nothing but love for the guy.

It hasnt been as slow as we were expecting it to get as winter finally hit. We have been lucky enough to stay some what busy and not go completely crazy...yet. We've done a decent amount of remodeling at the shop. We put up some saloon door, re organized our ever growning collection of flash and prints and got a new couch. It seems to be a constant on going project, but we cant really complain because the shop continues to look better each time we do. Heres a few photos from the past few months of some cool stuff we got to tattoo. I will be trying to update this more often, but might be switching over to a tumblr account at some point, since thats what all the cool kids are doing these days.

One Year Anniversary

holy shit, i hate blogger, i tried to upload a different photo and it erased everything i wrote. Lets try this again

So its been a while since we have posted anything on here. The past few months have been pretty busy, lots of walk ins, got our sign installed, and everyone has been starting to build their own tattoo machine frames.

We have officially been in the building for a year. We got the keys on June 3rd 2010. Started building everything the next day, spent around 3 weeks doing that and officially opened in July 2010. We will be celebrating our one year anniversay July 8th - 10th. We would do it the weekend before but Alex and Jamie will both be gone plus most people will be gone/busy/blowing things up for Independance day. On July 8th we will be having a party at 8pm - whenever with snacks and drinks. Everyone is invited to come hang out, get a tattoo, or just eat free food. On Saturday the 9th we will be having a BBQ from 1pm to 4pm with all the normal BBQ goods with some vegan options too. We will be having specials on select flash that we are in the middle of making. Once everything is done i willl post it along with prices/photos and any other info pertaining to it. Here is the FB event page for the anniversay party so make sure you click attend!

He will only be here for one day so make sure you schedule something quick because these spots will fill up fast. Here is a link to Chris's FB page so go check out his work, AMAZING artists and the BEST dude!

Its been a little while

We arent the best at updating this thing, oops.

So the remodel is all done. All 4 stations are finished and the shop is looking pretty good. The past week weve been pretty busy, no complaints on that end. We are going to be renewing our lease for another 3 years and are waiting on the landlord to get a final draft done so we can get everything signed. We are pretty excited about that. Once the lease is signed, we will be getting a channel letter sign finally. We put a banner up there so people can see it drving by until we get the permenant one.

The landlord also is allowing us to have a one year anniversary party in July. Itll be an all weekend thing going from July 8th-10th. We will have flash sheets of cool stuff for pretty cheap. Once we have that done we'll start posting them. We will also be having a BBQ that Saturday, July 9th. So once all the details are figured out, we will let everyone know. Make sure you come by, check out the shop, get tattooed or just come hang out and say hi.

Once i sort through new pictures of tattoos and finsih doing taxes, ill post some new stuff the guys have done the past few weeks. Keep your eyes peeled.


ps. Pete and our buddy Jazz Wilton have started their own clothing company called, ZeroClick. Make sure to "like" them on facebook and go check their website for updates. http://zeroclickclothing.com/

Its been a while

We recently finished our remodel. We extended the middle station put a pony wall in the middle to turn it into 2. All 4 artists have their own station now. We will still be doing some minor touch ups and stuff (texturing/painting) but nothing big. If you havent come by and checked it out we suggest you stop by and do so.

Also we finally have local artists paintings in the shop and ready to be hung. We will put them up sometime this week and when we do, I will post all the info on each of the 3 artists and when we plan on having a small art showing to showcase their work.

I know ive also been saying this for a while, but i talked to Jeremy (a friend of mine whose been making our website) today and i will get a chance to look at it finally tomorrow. So it should be up soon (fingers crossed).

One last thing, the new merch has been ordered. We will be printing 2 different shirt designs and one crew neck. Both shirts will be limited to 30 a piece and the crew necks will be limited to 20. We should have all of it by the end of this month or early next. If you get a chance, go over and check out Overcast Design and Print. They are the guys who have been printing all of our shirts/sweatshirts/tanks and are awesome dudes!

2 New Artists? What?

Yesterday, Andrew Parker dropped off his portfolio for us to take a look at. Needless to say we were fairly impressed. He will be working with us part time for the rest of the month and moving to full time early next once we get the 4th station built. He will be working Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Fridays. Yes thats right i said Sundays. We have always all enjoyed having one day off a week. But with the addition of Jamie and Andrew, we will now be open everyday. Both of them will be there on Sundays to take care of tattoos youd like to get. Pete, Alex and Sean will still be on their normal schedules taking Sundays off. We feel like we have a really strong selection of artists now and are ready to take on the eastside. Our motto has always been, you dont have to go to Seattle to get a good tattoo, we now feel even more comfortable saying that adding both Andrew and Jamie to our staff. Stop by sometime this month, welcome both of them to the shop and schedule an appointment with these dudes!

Also we will be printing merch early next month, i will post the designs as soon as they are done.


- Matt

ps. i would have posted some pictures of Andrews work on here, but with the new photo thing on facebook i couldnt figure out how to pull them off. I am retarded when it comes to computers haha. so go check out his personal page or wait until tomorrow and ill post them on the shops page.

When we bring another artist in we will extending the middle station into 2 stations. We don't know when this will be, but we will keep everyone updated, due to the fact that shop will be closed for a short period of time.

6 months

We hit our 6 month mark at the beginning of the year! So far everything has been going pretty well, minus a few set backs (the bricks getting thrown through the windows, etc.). We are excited to see what the future brings. We renewed our lease a month ago so as of right now we will be here til at least May 2012. We were expecting our buddy Chris from Last Chance Tattoo in Las Vegas to start working here in March but he wont be moving up as soon as he thought, hopefully sometime this year he will be up here. If you have a chance check out his work, hes a very talented artist and an awesome dude. He is hoping to come up and do another guest spot at the shop around February or March.

check out Chris' work here.

We <3 you bud!

Seems like the holiday money spending has come to an end, people are back at college and all the money people got for the holidays have been spent. We've slowed down a little bit but it was expected seeing as its winter. We have some openings left this week, so if you have any ideas for new tattoos or would like to finish one, feel free to come in and talk to us. There are few bigger pieces coming in later in the week which should end up turning out pretty cool. Ill post some pictures later this week.

p.s. tattoo removal hurts like a motherfucker.

Yelp.com

So we just had a yelp.com made. For those of you who dont know what Yelp is, its a site where people go and review places they have been to. Its an awesome tool to help people decide from a whether to go to a certain business or not. We would greatly appreciate it if people would go and leave reviews on the shop for us. Good or bad, let us know how we are doing (hopefully they are all good haha). If you have a few extra minutes, let us know what you think, if theres stuff we should work on, how your tattoo turned out, whatever it is, we'd love to hear from you. Thanks!
