Studio 21 Tattoo Gallery will be holding an event at our studio Sept. 18th, 2011. Pick Your Poison will be the feature of the event, showcasing their delectable alcohol, soda and fruit infused cupcakes. Lulu’s Pastries will also be attending with an assortment of fantastic pastries and Grouchy John’s Coffee will help wash it all down. Who could ask for a better way to top off the taste buds for the night. Naturally, the theme for the art show is “sweet tooth” anything reflecting sweets in whatever environment you choose. All art needs to be in by the 14th of September, any medium accepted. The clocks ticking, looking forward to seeing the entries.

When attending the international MAGIC convention in Las Vegas, NV, we ran across this skateboard exhibit in the S.L.A.T.E. area. SLATE highlights the newest & latest underground street labels, fashion and lifestyles from inspiring individuals setting trends for anything related to skate/art/surf and music. The original works of art on recycled skateboards is a traveling exhibit by over 90 artists, a project of SK8OLOGY, combining counter culture with fine art. This is a small example of all the boards on display. MAGIC/S.L.A.T.E. is an insider view of trends to come and a sensory overload of creative forces combined. It’s a lot to take in, everything from product display, live art exhibits, skateboard contest, etc. The creative energy of designers and artists is beyond inspiring.

Today at our studio we met the lovely sisters, Jenny and Sara Haglund, visiting from abroad. The unique combo of being Swedish, twin sisters and contortionists make them an unusual acrobatic performance. Trained in Montreal, the girls perform all over Europe. Hopefully we will see their incredibly impressive skills on stage in Las Vegas soon.

Were looking forward to a quick lil’ visit from our good buddy Justin Wilson from Dayton, Ohio. Here’s a couple examples of Mr. Wilson’s work. Justin will be in the shop August 4th-8th from 12-9pm laying down some amazing lettering and “Script” as the tatter guys call it. If your looking to get that “name” or any “saying” that seems to keep popping up in your head…now’s the time! Justin free hands the majority of his lettering directly on the skin with markers and  follows it up with his ever so friendly touch. Don’t be shy about calling the shop  and setting up an appt. with Courtney or Sable! Call the shop ASAP Justin’s appt.s are already filling up by all the close friends so don’t wait! 702-248-8762
