As our anniversary approaches, first, and most importantly, I’d like to thank you for your continued business and loyalty. We’ve had many familiar faces as well as quite a few new ones coming into the studio to get inked, and it’s been quite a year!

Next, I’d like to give you a brief update on what’s been happening this year. As many of you already know, Bill Ristine decided not to continue with his apprenticeship, and we were sad to see him go. We wouldn’t be where we are today without his tireless efforts, both with getting the studio ready for opening as well as the amazing work he did with designing our website. He is still maintaining the site and updating it as necessary, so although we don’t see him on a daily basis as before, he’s no stranger to Studio 29 Tattoo!

So, as one door closes, another one opens, and who should walk through, but a new apprentice! We were happy to have Robin Gonzales join us in June as an apprentice, and she’s been diligently practicing her technique and has already had a few of her designs tattooed. For more about Robin, check out her bio and there will be examples of her work in her gallery very soon!

So those are the major happenings this year. We’ll continue to make improvements and changes to the studio in order to provide you with the best place to get inked.

Thanks again for a great year, and looking forward to seeing you soon!
