Hello, February!

Can you believe it's February, already?! We've been keeping ourselves busy at the shop with clients and.....an interior REMODEL! Matt and I just can't go a year without doing some serious upgrading!

We put in a counter! We also plan on changing the murals (I know...sad...) but change is good. We are far from finished but I think we're off to a great start. Okay, so now for the real reason you visit this blog. TATTOOS! Brett Baumgart returned from Miami with some photos of some pretty stellar work.

Back at the shop there was no shortage of awesomeness occurring. Matt Decker has been working on a new flash set. Photos of those to come soon. If you cant wait you can view a sneak peek here: http://web.stagram.com/n/deckro/ . Matt also tattooed a stylized version of a Klimt master work.

Danielle Silva tattooed a "Circle of Life"

Danielle has also been working on a series of pin-up watercolor flash pieces. I'll give you a quick sneak peek now. A more in depth look to follow soon....

Needless to say life is pretty good at Premium Tattoo. You should probably come by and join in on the fun.
