Primary Concepts: Part II

Oh YES!
THE NEW SHOP.

After torment and tedium, we have found a perfect space for us to expand into. Finally we will all be able to work together, at one time, and Kai will have weekends off! Yay! We will be able to do appointments and walk-ins (that's me) and piercings for a lucky 9 hours a day. We have opted to all take the same days off, even though we will all be working together, so that we can hang out not at work.

The space is a former yoga studio, two buildings over from our present location. It is an upstairs suite above a sort of horrible bro-bar. The yoga studio is moving two spaces over, to be in a more sunny location. We tattoo people don't need the sun, we like shade and the darkness and besides, sun fades tattoos (wear sunblock on your tattoo! 50 spf!).
The shop is about 5 times as big as the space we are in now. There will be a seperate office, bathroom, lobby, piercing room, and the tattoo studio, which will double as an art gallery, with different shows up on the walls every couple months. We feel that art on the walls makes for a more pleasant tattoo experience, since it gives you something to look at while you are in horrible pain ;) We are going to have openings for each show with Djs and snacks and artistic conversation! If any of you out there who read this want to be updated on our Grand Opening or any of the other events we have planned please email my tattoo-email: primarykaiATgmailDOTcom.

I am very excited.

We are getting an AMAZING SF graffiti artist to do a giant mural on the back wall:

Reyes
is an old friend of Chris's. He's made a name for himself and and has been featured in Juxtapoz (which is sort of the barometer for underground art popularity).
