Thanks to the brave and generous many who came out in the freezing cold and made this day a success! 62 tattoos...2 cars/vans full of kitty and puppy swag, and $1250 to ARF! Also, congrats to our $300 gift certificate winner, Meagan Coolidge...she was turned away at the end of the line two years in a row...it paid off!

Help our furry friends $20 tattoo day – MONDAY JAN 16th
Well folks, as most of you know, the world is coming to an end this year so we thought it would be best to help out those who will inherit the earth ;)
Haha. Ok..seriously. This year we have chosen to raise items and money for ARF (the Animal Rescue Foundation). There are all sorts of critters out there who can’t tell us that they are cold, lonely, or hungry and we want to help out the great people who volunteer thanklessly for their cause.
$20 Tattoo Day will be held at Gypsy Rose Tattoos on Monday January 16th, 2012 (we will be closed for regular business that day). The goal of the day is to raise as many donations as possible for ARF, and to do as many fun, SIMPLE, silly, spontaneous and ‘for a good cause’ tattoos as we can. We will have 4 artists donating their time on this day, and we will be handing out 60 tattoo appointment tickets on a first come, first served basis. UNLIKE the event we held last year, there will be a STRICT 2 x 2 inch size limit (though, fitting into the size limit does not guarantee that we can tattoo it). There is no restriction on color, however, designs must be printed to size and be READY TO GO (we will be doing NO ALTERATIONS nor will we be providing any custom design this day). Keep your designs simple...anything we deem to take more than 15 mins will be turned away...NO EXCEPTIONS.
We will start handing out tickets at 9am with the first tattoo starting at 11am. Please dress warm...there is only enough room in the studio for the next appointment. Bring government issued photo ID, your design, $20 + 2 items off our items list. Also, keep in mind that if we are unable to tattoo you that day for whatever reason, you will be able to enter to win a $300 g/c from Gypsy Rose (if there are only 50-80 ballots in the box...your chances are pretty good!)
Donatable Items:
Puppy and Kitten food
Dog and Cat food
Treats
Rawhide, Beef Rawhide
Pig Ears
Greenies
Beef Bullies
Clumping Cat Litter
Electric Blankets
Brushes, Toothbrushes or Grooming Supplies
Non-washable toys
Plastic dishes
Wooden, carpet or cardboard cat scratching post
Wooden doghouses or Kennels

Gypsy Rose is now accepting VISA, Mastercard, and AMEX (and Discovery and Diners Club...though we've never seen one in person!).
October 22, 2011
Effective October 28th, 2011 we will be scaling back hours on Fridays and Saturdays...we will be open on those days from 12-8 during the winter months. Our other hours will remain the same. If you have an appointment booked that runs later than this, we will remain open that day for you...so don't worry!

We hope you've all had an awesome summer! With (dread!) fall and winter just around the corner, we've had a lot of inquiries about '$20 tattoo day'. This was an event we held last November 20th...we did nearly 100 tattoos in 12 or so hours and raised just shy of 2500lbs of non-perishable food (in conjunction with SHAW cable). So...this year we are asking for your input. Do you know of a worthy cause we could raise items/donations for? The event will probably be planned for Dec/Jan this year..so you have some time! If you have a great idea or a worthy cause, please email us through the site, or 'friend' us on Facebook and suggest your charity!

We'd just like to let everyone know that Nina is fully booked up until her maternity leave (October 5th or so). Nina will still be accepting custom artwork requests, however, you will have to wait until November~end to get your designs from her, and until December (at least) for your tattoo! Thanks for your patience!

Based on several inquiries we've had over the summer, we'd like to clarify our policies regarding underage tattooing. Anyone under the age of 18 (so, according to our policies 16 and up) getting a tattoo is underaged. Tattooing of minors is done entirely at the discretion of the artist..final call on sizing, art, and placement of the tattoo is up to the artist even where the consenting parent is "okay with it". So, to make our policies on this subject more clear, we will not tattoo minors outside of a standard t-shirt line concerning areas above the waist. There will be no exceptions to this. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may casue, but we hope you understand that we feel it is ethically in the best interests of our young clients and their futures.

Hope you are all having a good summer! Remember to use sunscreen on your tattoos...new and old! We'd also like to mention that until further notice, we will no longer be offering permanent eyeliner and lipliner tattooing, but we will continue to tattoo permanent eyebrows. Thanks!
