Happy New Year from Art Work Rebels! We hope everyone rung in the new year in a safe and enjoyable manner. The last couple days of 2011 were great, as everyone was busy with fun tattoos/clients. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better way to finish out the year. Moving on, 2012 is The Year of The Dragon, and the Art Work Rebels guys have all been working hard on their paintings for The Year of The Dragon art show in San Francisco at Seventh Son. This show will feature works created for the show by a ridiculously long list of amazing artists, and if you plan to be in the San Francisco area in late January; we suggest you check it out! Finally, as you probably have noticed, our website is currently under construction, as Jason, Jeff P., & Joe are refreshing their portfolios. Also, we will be adding the portfolios of Joel, Mike V., & Ross. Keep your eyes peeled, as we plan to have the site back up & better than ever in the next two weeks.
Tattoo by Jason Kundell
This Saturday on New Year’s Eve AWR will be doing the Portland-inspired flash for $150 per piece all day. We want to thank everyone for supporting us this passing year, so come on in and ring in the new year with some fresh art. The shop will be open from 11am to 10pm, and its first come, first serve so don’t sleep on this. Thanks again for everything, have fun out there.
Flash pieces tattooed by Joel B.
The big man himself has been hard at work on some very big, beautiful back pieces right up to the year’s end. Not many are lucky enough to get buck naked in front of Mr. Kundell, but those who commit to one of these large pieces are of the fortunate few with that privilege. A couple guys in the shop have back pieces in progress and it’s been a lot of fun watching them move further and further into completion.
Today is the 23rd, and at Art Work Rebels that means half-off our Portland/Oregon flash. Joel got to do one our nice little anchors, & Mike gave an excited young lad his first tattoo with a traditional rose. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, but we will be around from 11am-8pm. We will be closed on Christmas Day, as well as New Year’s Day.
Happy Holidays from everyone at Art Work Rebels.
The holiday season has left us a few soldiers short, as Jeff and Joe are both out of town for the holidays, but there’s good news nonetheless- Jason got to finish a sleeve today on our buddy Carlo. Also, this Friday is the 23rd.. That means $150 Portland/Oregon inspired tattoos. All the designs were done in shop by the guys & therefore can’t be found anywhere else in town! Even if you’re strapped from all the Christmas shopping; come on in and check out the designs since we offer this deal every month.
Happy Holidays!
Joe’s been working on some very beautiful Polynesian pieces right into the holiday season. All the guys have been working hard this month and its great to see lots of diversity in the pieces leaving the shop. Don’t forget, this Friday is the 23rd & we will be offering our Portland flash all day for $150. The 23rd is always first come, first serve. Its not too late to get a little more covered before 2012 rolls in.
All of us at Art Work Rebels couldn’t ask for better clientele, as we’re lucky enough to have customers that just keep coming back for more. Whether it’s working on a large piece involving many sessions, or just coming back for another small tattoo; we always end up getting to know a lot of our clientele on a personal level. It’s common for some of our regulars to just drop in & say hello, and it helps create the awesome atmosphere we have here at the shop. Jason had some regulars come from out of town this weekend to get tattooed, and it seemed that good conversation & company were enjoyed by all involved.
Again, AWR would like to thank all of our customers for helping make 2011 a good year.
Dragon & Samurai tattoo both by Jason Kundell.
All of us at Art Work Rebels would like to say Happy Holidays, and as the new year approaches; thank all of our loyal customers for their support in 2011. We recently celebrated our second anniversary, and look forward to celebrating many more here in Portland.
If you really want to spoil someone special this holiday- We have gift certificates, shirts & hoodies for both the ladies and the gentlemen, as well as multiple prints by Jason & Jeff available. All items are viewable here on the blog.
Our hours around the holidays will only be a wee bit different than usual..
Christmas Eve- 11am to 8pm
Christmas Day- Closed
New Year’s Day- Closed
Other than that; it’s business as usual here at AWR!
