TATTOO IDEAS: January 2013

So what's new? Well lots of things are happening right now! We have decided to renovate the other other shop we have. Which means we will have just one big shop (not two- let me clarify). We have been leasing the shop next door for the past 2 years but we haven't really done anything with it thus far. But since Stu has decided to stay and Ryan was supposed to take his place, we thought we needed a bit more room to spread out. It is literally just so we have some more room to move (we aren't taking on anymore tattooers). It also allows us to have plenty of room for our guest artists too, so stay tuned! There is a lot to do and little time to do it (since we plan on having a baby in a few months) but things are more fun when you do them under pressure, right? But the shop is having a complete over-hall, it will be unrecognisable and it's really, really exciting!

The only annoying thing is the shop is going to be a complete disaster zone for the next 2 months, so we do apologise for that but it was too late notice to have taken any time off, so we are going to attempt to work around the drama.

We also have a whole bunch of guest artists coming in the next 2 months, which is always exciting and fun! I have already posted about most of them but just to recap:

Matthew Gordon: 22nd Jan till the 2nd of Feb. Still taking appointments! Please email: Matthewgordon@live.com.au

This is work by Steve:

We also have new Big Cartel Site (progressiontattoo@bigcartel.com), where you can buy any Progression Tattoo merch and prints by Matt Deverson. So anyone ordering from interstate or overseas can easily order online, using paypal. Anyone from Adelaide not requiring postage can just stop by as normal. But the cartel site will be a good way to see what we have up for grabs and any details you need on our stuff!

So in saying that, Matt has a new print up for grabs! It's the massive snake and peony print he did a couple weeks back. We are currently getting them printed but you can order now. So they are 76.5cm X 57cm (so pretty darn big)! They are $80, plus postage. But please visit progressiontattoo@bigcartel.com to order from interstate/overseas, or shoot me an email if you are in Adelaide. The original is already spoken for, sorry.

And we finally have more T-Shirts and Crew Necks back in stock! So if you have ordered one via email and need it sent out, you can do this now by visiting the Big Cartel Site to get it! Visit progressiontattoo@bigcartel.com Or just pop buy and pick one up! The crews are $60 and the T-shirts are $30 (plus postage).

So Stu is heading back to the UK on the 15th of February and will be back in Adelaide by 12th of April. If you want work done before he leaves, you better get moving. But he is taking bookings now for his return too.

Ryan Reeve will start full time with us on the 19th of February and he is taking bookings now! So email us (progressiontattoo@hotmail.com) if you want to booking in with Ryan.

I will most definitely be doing another blog really soon to show what our regular legends have been tattooing but that's it for this instalment.......
