No custom pieces, no changes. All tattoo designs will be amazing. Hundreds of flash designs to choose from, and check back as we’ll be posting flash all week!!!!
THE OWLS ARE NOT WHAT THEY SEEM.
Pretty tattoo Melanie finished a few weeks ago! All in soft grey/muted colors. This one turned out lovely! Was battling shine in the photos (tattooers’ worst enemy in pictures), but hopefully between the three you can get a sense of it!
jamie-mai asked: The picture of the mermaid tattoo your friend was getting is really beautiful, do you happen to have a better picture of the template or the name of the artist?
The artist is Kirsten Holliday, and her email address is tattoosbykirsten@gmail.com. The drawing is a custom tattoo for that client, but I know Kirsten would be thrilled to draw and tattoo something similar for you! You can check out our website: icontattoostudio.com for more information and a look at Kirsten’s portfolio.
The rumors are true. On FRIDAY AND SATURDAY JUNE 8 AND 9, Icon will be doing Twin Peaks-themed flash all day both days!!!
The deets: first come, first served each day. No appointments, and no calling in! You have to come show your pretty face in person. At which point you can go have pie and coffee next door at lovely Lowell for a donation, and we’ll call you when your turn is up!
This event is OUR FLASH ONLY. No custom pieces, and no changes to designs—we want to give as many people amazing Twin Peaks tattoos as possible!
Tattoos start at $40 and all designs will be discounted vs normal tattooing rates. Yes, we will be posting pictures of some of the flash! Keep checking back!
Happy treats for happy people! Starting our day off right:)
Some crazy weather for a crazy Friday! All of our artists were busy busy busy adding beautiful art to beautiful people:) now a beautiful thunder storm!
rileyanne asked: I'm moving to Portland in September and would like to get a tattoo as soon as I'm moved in, before my parents take the moving van back home, because I'd like a tattoo of my father's handwriting and I'd like him to be there. Your studio looks the most inviting of those I've scoped online, but I'm not sure which of your artists would be most interested in tattooing a few words in someone else's handwriting. (Also, handling the deposit on such a short timeline?) Advice would be much appreciated!
Hi there! Thanks so much for your message. It’s a good idea to schedule an appointment ahead of time, and with so much notice, I’d recommend Lisa—she’s wonderful and great at script. You can email her directly at lisamaurine@gmail.com, and she can work out the deposit etc with you!
By the by, so so sweet that you’re getting your Dad’s handwriting and having him come for the appointment! I love that idea.
Let us know if you have any other questions.
Best,
Melanie + Icon
Summery tattoo wanters on the mind… A beautiful wallpaper print by William Morris, may see something like this on one of our very own shop girls in the near future… :)
Heather’s picks of the week! Everything I require, short of a pot of coffee, for a rainy Thursday.
Lisa Maurine. Woman of many many talents, one of which is taking the best pictures ever.
I’m back! Being on vacation was the best. Trying to catch up with work this week. Emails, blog, etc., coming soon! Also, we have a new website situation and were still trying to figure it out, so pardon anything that doesn’t make sense.
xo,
Alena
Alena is back! She’s been gone on vacation for her birthday which is AWESOME, but we are glad to have her back! WOOHOOO
Betty’s poking Niki today! Because that’s what friends are for :)
