Iron Tiger Tattoo

Another week down, another shop update.  Both shops had a really good week.  Gabe kept up his pace with some big pieces over at Tattoo You.  He’s been doing most of his appointments over there lately to help get the place up and running.  So far it’s been going great.   There were a lot of Mizzou moms in town for Mothers Weekend this week so we got to have a lot of fun with them.  Our walk in crowd has really been keeping us on our toes lately.  There’s been a huge upswing in requests for larger pieces.  We know when you come in you’re excited to get the ball rolling on your tattoo as soon as possible.  Don’t be bummed if your artist wants to set an appointment for it though.  That just means that they’re wanting to take  time to sit down with your design and really nail down the line work which can take quite awhile (hours in some cases).  Being patient and giving them the time and leeway to work on it on their own time is gonna insure that you get the best results and keeps you from having to spend all that time waiting in the lobby.

Gabe will be at the Rochester Tattoo Convention in New York on May 2-4. Get at him if you’re wanting to get something done.

Hey thanks for taking a minute to check out this week’s update.  Thunder storms and spring break be damned, we still kept it going all week. Moe decided to completely remodel his room.  He stripped it down to bare bones, repainted it with some wild colors and is in the process of rehanging all his flash/decorations.  Jason Stubblefield from Iron Age was here hanging out and doing a few tattoos over at Tattoo You.  Other than that, the pictures pretty much speak for themselves.  Take a look and then come in and see us.

Iron Tiger Tuesday

It’s time for another Tuesday shop update. With all the college kids getting ready to go on spring break this past week you might think things would have slowed down for us a bit but that didn’t happen at all really.  Gabe kept his time divided between both shops as usual. Our friend Jelena from Iron Age hung out for a few days and covered some shifts while Morgan was out sick.  Even with a lot of the guys having larger appointments lately we still managed to stay steady in between with walk-in requests. That’s one of the best and most challenging part of working at a street shop, regardless of what job you do there.  Having to adapt on the fly to so many different requests and personalities keeps us sharp and keeps the work exciting.  Come in, bring your idea and lets have some fun with it.

Iron Tiger Tuesday

This past week was pretty crazy at the shop.  We had 5 tattooers out of town at two different conventions.  Some of the photos I have for you this week were done at conventions, some of them were done at Tattoo You.  Gabe worked at Tattoo You for most of the weekend.  Dan tattoos there on Thursdays now if you’re trying to get tattooed by him on that particular day. With so many people out of town we were pretty much slammed all weekend.  On Monday we all went out to Roxy’s for the St. Patricks Day Party, Tattoo Contest & Hospice Benefit. It was a lot of fun and they managed to raise some money for a good cause.

Iron Tiger Tuesday

Hey guys, thanks for checking out this weeks post.  One of the things I always hear while I’m working the counter goes something like this “I want to get a tattoo that no one else has, not just some piece of flash off the wall.”  Well let met let you in on a little secret, a lot of that flash is some of the most original designs you can get.  Everyone has this idea that everyone else that walks through the door just picks something off the wall and calls it a day when in reality that almost never happens.  95% of our flash was hand painted by our artists and has just been hanging there ever since.  So you’re not sure what design you want? Find a tattoo you like hanging in our lobby and ask to get it from the artist who painted it and chances are you’ll be the only person in town that has it…that and the artist will probably be so happy to finally get to tattoo it that they’ll do a god damn back flip. Just something to think over the next time you come in.

Our walk in game was on point this week.  Everyone stayed busy.  Half the shop has been preparing to be out of town this weekend for conventions. Both Iron Tiger and Tattoo You are looking forward to participating in the St. Patricks Day Party, Tattoo Contest & Hospice Benefit at Roxy’s on March 17th.  Check out the links for details.

Gabe, Lars, Cody and Ben will be tattooing at The Real Deal Tattoo Convention in Kansas City on March 14th-16th.  On those same dates Moe and Morgan will be at the Salt Lake City International Tattoo Convention.  If you’re going to be in either one of those areas this weekend be sure to stop by their booths and hang out for a bit.
