WE ARE OPEN!!!

We have finally opened!  It has been a long road but we are here!  We officially turned on our "OPEN" sign on Friday October 29th.  Here are some pictures of the finished rooms...

We are really happy with the way that everything worked out, we just need to get some artwork displayed on the walls.

The first tattoo done in this shop was done on Tuesday November 2nd.

We have signs on our building!

We had our building signs installed on Friday November 5th, done by Sign-A-Rama. 

The Remodel is done!!!!

Here are some pictures of our front counter and our waiting area....

Getting closer....

On one hand it seems like this it taking forever but on the other hand it seems to be cruising right along.  The walls are all painted, the crown molding was put up, the tile has been laid, most of the cabinets have been installed, and the floor has been waxed.  So, what's left?  We have a few more cabinets to install, the front counter will be put in today or tomorrow, then we move our stuff in and call the health department and have them come and inspect and then we should have the green light for our business license and then it is time to OPEN!!!  Can't wait!  This tattoo studio looks awesome!  We will be posting more pics of the progress soon! 





Time for some paint...

We were given the go ahead from the contractor last Tuesday September 14th to get in there and get it painted.  Exciting!  We started painting around 2:30 that afterrnoon as soon as the drywaller got out of there and we were able to stay until about 8:00 that night.  We were unable to paint the next day and then the day after that Vinnie headed to the shop in Alaska for the weekend.  He got back to SLC Monday morning and we headed down to paing and were able to get quite a bit done.  Yesterday we pretty much finished with most of the painting, just a few touch ups are needed.  Hopefully next week we will get the floor tiles down and then should be open for business shortly after that...hope the flooring goes smooth!



SLC shop has walls!!!

The remodel is really coming along quick!  The contractor called us and said that they should be finished with the sheetrock, mudding, and sanding by Tuesday.  Then it is time for us to paint and lay the tile. 

The remodel begins in Salt Lake City...

 After many months of searching, we have found a location in SLC.  Before we began our search, we were hoping to find a location toward the south side of town since there are already so many Tattoo Studios north of 2100 south on State Street.  Well, after cities turning us down and telling us that the zoning wouldn't work for tattooing, or landlords not wanting tattooing in their buildings, we have discovered why most of the tattoo shops are where they are.

We are really excited about the new location, which is 319 W 600 S.  If you are taking the freeway into downtown, everyone exits on 600 S and will drive by us.  We think we will have great exposure.  We have a Subway and Zushi Sushi in the same parking lot which brings a lot of traffic.

Fine Finish Construction is doing our remodel, they began framing Tuesday August 31st.  The plumber and electrician will be in tomorrow, Friday Sept 3rd and then the drywall will go up beginning of next week.  We are hoping to be open for business in a couple of weeks.

SLC Tattoo Convention 2010

This is our 2nd year having a booth at the SLC Annual Tattoo Convention.  Coral and Vinnie were set up and ready to tattoo all weekend long.  Christy and Stephanie sat at the front tables greeting people and getting contact information for potential clients for when we open the shop in SLC.  This year was a bit more exciting for us because we were able to tell people that we planned on opening a shop in SLC this summer (2010), so when the convention came to a close sunday evening and we were all out of time, people were happy to hear that we would be back soon!

This is one of Vinnie's clients entering the tattoo competition.

It was another successful show!  We had a great time and saw some amazing art!

Looking forward to attending this show every year.
