GIFT CARDS ARE HERE!!!!!!

FINALLY!
GIFT CARDS!
COME GET 'EM!


I get asked a lot about gift certificates. Parents "giving" kids tattoos for birthdays, girlfriends paying for boyfriends' tattoos, brothers not knowing what to get their sisters for Christmas, but knowing they want a tattoo....

Instead of the archaic, coupon-esque paper gift certificates of yesteryear (that i've been using *ahem*), Twelve 28 has moved into the modern age and now has actual gift cards. Made of plastic. With the little swipey stripe on the back. When the money's run out, it makes a pretty, sparkly, gold business card for referrals, too. *winkwink* All you have to do is come in, swipe your card for the desired gift amount, the amount gets swiped to the gift card, and viola:

Insta-Perfect-Present.

Over This Past Week:

First up, we have Matt's realistic Dia de los Muertos sleeve in progress.
I love tattooing skulls! This piece is so much fun i can barely stand it! We also have been watching the entire season of Jersey Shore start to finish while working on it.
We totally have a Situation.




Heidi stopped by for a Care Bear and to catch up!
I haven't seen her in a really long time. (unless you count The Twitter)

Last entry o' the day, we finally finished up Steve's Suicide Girl sleeve...for now.
Normally, i allow clients to pick what movie and/or music they'd like to be entertained (ahem*distracted*ahem) by, but since he came in the day Corey Haim OD'd, i made Steve watch The Lost Boys. i know, i'm such a tyrant! no, i did not make him watch Lost Boys II: The Tribe. why? because we wanted to remember sweet, cute, unaddicted Corey. i'm sure that's what Corey would have wanted, too.



Lost Boys.
Foreva.
FTW.
