Sorry it's been so long!

Hi everyone! It's been quite some time since we have blogged! Sorry for the hiatus. We plan on blogging regularly now (probably one every couple weeks) so please stay tuned and check back often for new blog posts. Possible future topics include: the history of tattooing, hints to finding the perfect tattoo design, how to choose who tattoos you, gems used in jewelry making, excerpts from Washington School of Art journals from 1914, and much more. We will try to include information on all the different things we do here at Foxfire Studio, such as tattoo, jewelry, fine art, knives, engraving, leather work, etc. If there is a particular question you have or a topic you'd like us to write about, please let us know and we'll try to accommodate.

For now, I will post a few photos of recent cover ups we have done. We understand that sometimes people have a tattoo that they no longer want or that they would like fixed up a bit. Take a look at these examples:

Nice, huh? If you have a tattoo that you might like spiced up a bit or would like to cover something that you no longer care too much for, stop by the studio and we'll see what we can do for you!

For now, Adieu!

Another Year Gone

We signed on our studio space a year ago Feb. 22, and with alot of hard work we actually opened the doors on May 8th, so that being, this May 8th we'll be having an anniversary celebration. We've had a few tense weeks, with the economy dive, but it's all running smoothly now. In fact I have two apprentise's now and we'll grow as planned at a steady place. Our goal was to have a place that's creative, and inviting for people to come to and with the feedback that we're getting, looks like that's what we are. I'm excited for our second year and love being at the studio everyday!

"Dead of Winter"

    Friday night was our gallery horror art show opening titled "The Dead of Winter". It was anything but dead. Our lively Rock-A-Billy band kept us moving and smiling. With anything from Elvis to Johnny Cash in their own crazy style.
    We had lots of yummy food that we made, and our apprentise "Paula" made a wonderful chocolate/peanut butter /rice crispy dessert that couldn't be beat! Maybe she'll let me post it?
    Some of the artists actually created work for the show. Jill Bauman created a couple of her dimensional pieces, a vampire snowman and snowy owl. We also have some of her awesome prints. Eric Hilliker finished his "Gurm" painting that is part of a series of adventure poetry that he creates. I finished my "Ladies from Hell" a painting that I had in mind for years about the scottish black watch. The painting shows a piper from hell calling on the black watch of various time periods where they march as a ghostly horde to war.
    The rest of our show shouldn't be missed. Seeing the original paintings are soooo much better than an online image! And the paintings by these people are seen usually only at SF/Fantasy/Horror conventions.
