New and Improved Cottage 13

Some recent changes at the tattoo shop. There was a small room in the front, that was originally meant to be nothing more than the space where the photocopier and stencil machine and some supplies would reside. It didn’t take long before a burgeoning number of tattooists saw to it that it was pressed into service as another tattoo room. But it was never ideal. Small and awkward, it was referred to as the “punishment closet.”

It also cut into the reception area.

With one of the tattooists leaving for BC, it was decided to take it out altogether. With the market for piercing waning, and Yolandas sideline of making custom corsets and clothing ramping up, it was decided to take the room right out. The space now means that the area behind the counter is no longer bursting if more than one person is there. It also means more room for Yolanda to display her wares, but also the wares of similarly creative and handy local folks.

The lovely and talented Os working at the new counter. It will also house the Mac.

The start of the clothing side of things. Much more to come.

Some prints by Charlie Owens.

Skateboards by Tyson McAdoo. Something unchaste is about to happen there me thinks.

The cascade of tracing paper you find in every tattooists room.

Some of Os’ fine artwork. Love what that guy does.

Some of Bryce Huffman’s art. Love what he does as well.
