Today’s the day!

Reminders:

This event will be CASH ONLY. There is an ATM across the street and several banks nearby.

Be advised, there is not a big parking lot at the shop. You can park in the school parking lot next door or Acme’s parking lot. DO NOT park at AutoZone, they will tow you!

Reminder, this is first come first serve. The shop will not be giving rain checks and not everyone will be able to get tattooed if there is a long line near the end of the event. Be prepared to wait in line, dress for the weather and bring a chair/refreshments as needed! The shop will have some water and snacks also.

Info about the tattoos:
1. Tattoo placement is on arms and legs only.
2. For sizes: the $150 designs are roughly palm size, the smaller designs are a couple of inches.
3. You are allowed to get 1 tattoo off of the 2/$100 sheet for $50, you do not need to get two.
4. There will be 4 artists tattooing for the day; Sadie Winter, Erica Rose, Ireland Bower, and Rachel Atkinson.

We hope to see you all there! Please remember to be patient and tip your artist!
