LOOKING FOR TATTOO ARTISTS
Haven Body Arts is looking for 2 full time Tattoo Artists and guest artists to join us in the opening of this new studio. Haven Body Arts is in the middle of build out, but should be ready to open its doors mid to late October. I am looking for artists who are passionate about tattooing and who want to find a place where they have creative control over their art and really want to be involved with the space and the evolution of Haven Body Arts as a whole. It has been extremely important for me over the last 14 years of piercing in the Valley to be involved in all aspects of the industry and to offer the best, most progressive experience for my clients as possible. I am hoping to find tattoo artists that share that view. I recognize that the artists are the core of the shop, & it is very important for me to find people who are looking for a place to call home and that just love what they do. If you really enjoy doing your art, it translates into not only great tattoos, but a positive experience for our clients & this is what i'm looking for. The thing HBA has to offer, besides a beautiful shop & amazing location, is the chance to, even if relocating and starting fresh, have access to a large client base. I have done over 30,000 piercings in the valley over the years & i have found that my clients are extremely loyal and trust that any tattoo artist who is working with me will be top notch, and will provide them with a clean and fun experience (as well as a wonderful tattoo)!
Haven Body Arts is located in Downtown Northampton Mass. which is an extremely liberal, artsy town with 4 colleges and UMass Amherst all within a 20 mile radius, as well as many other community colleges close at hand. Northampton is known for being very eclectic & open and really is a wonderful place to offer body modification. We have many galleries, interesting boutiques & stores, & lots of amazing restaurants. I like to think of Northampton as kind of a bizarre little pocket of good within a sea of stupid...
So if this sounds like a situation you might be interested in, please contact me either through this myspace, or at piercedp@gmail.com
i look forward to getting a great team together, & seeing where it takes us!
