What a Difference a Few Weeks Makes:

Hey Kids,

 

As of right now, I am booking into April.  Many of my clients are in the middle of big pieces, which we would like to finish sooner rather than later.  In consideration of these facts, I will not be taking any new projects/clients until March.  That means no consultations until then.  I’m sorry, dudes, but it’s crazy enough booking 3 months in advance; I simply cannot continue planning that far in the future.  (I don’t even like making plans for the weekend on a Wednesday.)  Scheduling things so far away leaves time for a lot of things to change in my life and yours.  New living arrangements, job changes, weddings, etc.  Far too often appointments get cancelled when they are so far away. If you are not waiting for me specifically, please check out the other talented artists over here on 28 Marcy Ave.

 

This brings me to the second bit of news I have: the shop is home to 7 artists now!  Jess Versus, Scarlet Sinclair, Dorothy Lyzcek, Chris Wednesday, Andrew Ferko, Gianna Galli, and myself.  I am in the process of updating our artist information and portfolio section; please be patient.  Jess, Scarlet, and Dorothy are full-time.  Chris and Andrew are our walk-in artists and they are here Fri/Sat/Sun and Wed/Thurs respectively.  Gianna is in a couple times a month and is appointment only, so please get in touch with her directly if you would like to book an appointment. giatattoos@yahoo.com

 

Also, Scott Sketo will be doing a guest spot next week on the 30th and 31st…check him out!!

 

Also, also, Drew Linden couldn’t stay away long and will be back in town February 12th-15th…get in touch with her to book an appointment.  appointments@drewlinden.com

 

Also, also, also, Jess Versus is moving to Richmond, VA!  She will be working out of 212 Tattoo.  If you would like to get in to see her before she leaves, get in touch with her immediately!  Her last day here is March 24th. jessversus@gmail.com

 

I’ll shoot out more info on all this snizsnoz another time. If you cannot wait until I have another free moment to update the blog (which I totally undertstand, cuz I suck at it lately) give the shop a call, talk to Roxie…she’ll help you out.

 

Keep in mind, if you would like to get in touch with anyone here at Twelve 28, CALL OR EMAIL US!!  DO NOT use facebook, twitter, instagram, tumblr, smoke signals, the comment forum on the blog, or a clairvoyant to ask us stuff or book an appointment.  (In fact, I’m about the disable the bloody comment forum…half of it’s spam anyway.)

 

1228Tattoo@gmail.com, dudes.

 

Thanks!!!!
~Joy

Okay, Here’s the Deal:

The bulk of my availability is in February (weekdays only) & March (weekends & weekdays) right now. However, I have a few spots here & there open for small, single-session pieces. If you have a piece that fits this description & also have a flexible, weekday schedule we should chit chat about getting you an appointment sooner than February…maybe even this month.

 

I’ll be around normal work days (Thursday – Monday) this week.  Stop by anytime between Noon & 8pm to consult about said small pieces. I’ll obviously be working those days, so just be mindful that you may need to hang out a few minutes so I can take a break & talk.

 

Thanks,

Joy

Catching up for the holidays, and new Versus announcements!

Hey guys! Just a quick heads-up that I’ll be open from 12-4PM tomorrow for any and all consultations, so if you’ve been trying to get in touch or stop in to chat about your ideas or book a new appointment, tomorrow is an excellent day for that!

 

Also, I’m working on catching up to a massive backlog of e-mails from when I was away in Richmond, VA doing a guest spot at 212 Tattoo over my birthday week, so if you are still waiting to hear back, expect a response soon. Thanks for your patience, and my apologies again for the delay!

 

And in even better news, I’ll officially be opening up SUNDAYS for both appointments and consultations starting December 16th (in addition to keeping my regular hours, THURSDAY – SATURDAY 12-8PM). This means even more rad tattoos, and not having to wait quite so long to book them! Huzzah!

 

See you all soon, stay warm!
