| Voodoo Tattoo Studio's Newsletter, Cool Links & Client Bill of Rights
Greetings Voodoo-aholics! Our Limited Edition Voodoo Tattoo Studio T-Shirts have arrived! There's a ladies' version designed by Michelle, and Lex designed for the guys. For those of you who reserved yours in advance, we've pulled them aside for you. Our T-Shirts can be purchased at our studio for $20 each or shipped to you for an additional $5.00 each. Voodoo Tattoo Studio VIPs should check their email for **VIP Rewards**! As you may or may not know, the State of Minnesota effected a change to the law regarding minors getting tattooed. As of July 1, 2010, no minor is permitted to be tattooed in our state, even with a parent /guardian's permission. Sorry Minors - see you when you're 18! Other changes were made to the laws regarding tattooing safety that will be implemented over the next year or so. While everyone knows it's never a good idea to get a tattoo by an amateur (someone un-licensed, working out of their home/garage/basement - no matter how much experience they claim they have), the State is cracking down on shops that do not meet health & safety standards. If you're not getting tattooed by us, please safeguard your health & make sure the facility you choose displays a current state or county-issued license for operation.
Have you met Sindy? She's the newest Voodoo Tattoo Studio Vixen/member of our staff! She's cool yet HOT at the same time! Visit our Voodoo Fun page & check her out. XOXO, Suzie P.S. Keep enjoying the summer & DON'T FORGET SUN BLOCK!!!!! ________________________________________________________________________________________ COOL LINKS: Resources, Amusement & more... Updated 7/27/10 DESIGN CREATION: Voodoo Tattoo Studio is a "custom design" studio, however, we respect our clients' vision and taste, and encourage clients to show us anything that's inspired them (when words just aren't enough!). Lex and Michelle will then create a design from whatever their client has brought in, specifically customized and personalized to the client's desires. We would encourage you not to purchase any design online you'd like us to use as reference: simply email us the link with a description specifying the design (if necessary).
