Britishink Tattoos AOM 10

[britishink]

Well here we are on site doing our first shifts and we got our first look at "the box".

16x16 and rather dark. There appears to be an air vent in there and I hope to the Gods that it works...otherwise we have a sweat lodge.

The lighting issues can be resolved to make it a working space but we may need more than our alotted 200W power draw.

No-one said this was going to be easy.

Onward.......

Solar?  Be the first 100% solar tattoo parlor?  Think mad max.....British ink...  Beyond Thunder Dome?

You could go with a 2001: A Space Odyssey theme. The white walls will make the most of what little light you are allowed. Though I imagine those space suits could potentially be a bit hot. Maybe you could dress up as HAL instead.

Paul, I specified a separate circuit for you--you have 2000 watts.  I will also make sure the air handler above your space is turned on.  it may be a bit noisy, but you'll be cool if you have a vent.

Barry you are a gift from above...2000W!?

I'm calling in a punk band to set up and play while I work in the four foot space between the inside counter and the door!

AOM 10? i think you may be a year ahead of the rest of us paul.

it was cool hanging out / volunteering with you today!

while it's Aromatic 2009 it's also the 10th anniversary, hence the logo with the big 10 on it

Paul - are you caught up in Artomatic frenzy now with building your shop or is there a chance of getting new ink before opening?

[EdHahn]

Maybe we could call it "Artomatic X".

hey paul-it was so nice to do see you and cynthia again friday as we worked our volunteer shifts. i sure will miss our being on the same floor (as we were in '08). was grand fun for me to just be able to walk across the floor and see you guys whenever the mood struck.
oh sob.... ..now i will have to take the elevator whenever i need a britishink fix!

Artomatic X

YES!

I think it's totally amazing that you set up a tattoo parlor! Can't wait to see it!

[lexi]

I decided to go with the third floor because you're there, so you'd better be doing something fantastic. 

[britishink]

We're finished!









It was a hell of a journey, and now the adventure begins......

[Tracy Lee]

Very nice. been dying to see the inside, everytime I stopped by you were already closed up and out!

Very cool set up!!

That darn bad wolf gets everywhere...

Love love love it!

[britishink]

We took a simple approach this year, and stood back at the end of the evening to say " wow...it looks like a tattoo parlor"

The focus will be the clients, and that's as it should be.

Frickin' looks awesome!
