February Shop Update


With the holiday months finally over, business is picking up! It's good to have people coming through the doors again. Tax refund season is always good for the tattoo business!

Shop Updates:
Brandon spent some quality time this month in meeting with the new management company for the shopping center the shop is in. There were a whole variety of recording and permit issues. As it turns out, despite this having been a tattoo shop before we moved in, the old shop never got permits or a business license! Have to love those upright business practices! According to Clark County our space was build-out free. Which, if you've seen our three booths, is certainly not the case. Everything is taken care of on that end though, finally.

Shop Crew Updates:
Randy, Lisa, and Isaac are still waiting expectantly for their little bundle of joy. Only a month and a half to go!

Brian was out of the shop for a couple of weeks at the end of January while he traveled to Japan with a friend.

It's looking like Eric is finally going to get his truck back this month! He's been waiting 7 months to get it repaired, and the autobody shop has been giving him the run-around.

Brandon and I are still plodding along. He's been working on getting the Evilution Tattoos website up and running. It's been giving him fits.
I spent the first couple weeks of January in Moab, UT with my mom, relaxing and catching up on some school stuff. I quit smoking and started getting more exercise. I start massage school of February 8th.

Shop Friends Update:
Our friend and client (as well as a very talented artist) Amanda and her husband (also a client), Jim had a baby boy on December 31st. Calvin was born a little over a month and a half early. They're looking forward to taking him home as soon as he is at least 4lbs and can eat regularly.

For those of you from the Valley, if you remember when the Vail Trail was in circulation, Amanda designed most of the covers.

Please send prayers and warm wishes to them, and wish Calvin a speedy weight gain so he can come home with his family!
