Tattoo Mania at Frank's Place

On Saturday, December 12th, we will be co-hosting a tattoo-themed event at Frank's Place (9 Tilley Street, New London). The main event of the evening will be a tattoo contest. Blaze, Stacey, and Lari from Spirit Gallery will be judging. Categories will include best backpiece, best small color, best small black and grey, best large color, best large black and grey, best sleeve, and, perhaps most importantly, worst tattoo, so we can help turn that around.


Prizes for each category will be a $50 gift certificate to Spirit Gallery toward the winner's next tattoo.


There will also be a drawing to receive an artist's choice tattoo (pictured below) at a discounted rate. Blaze says: “We are offering these tattoos at $75 per hour. This is $45 less than our usual rate! The sketch for my offering is the actual transfer that would be used. This tattoo will be full color, realistic with some fun blues and greens in the fur to mix it up a bit and give it some punch. I estimate the gorilla piece to take between 7 and 9 hours overall, and it will fit a thigh, shoulder or large bicep very nicely. It's about 7 1/2" tall. I believe that Stacey's piece is about equivilant in terms of time and size. The shape of her piece would look good on a forearm, upper arm, thigh, calf, or could even look nice centered on the spine.” Make sure you get there early to get your name in the box for these unique pieces!
