Bike N Tattoo Review










This weekend's Bike N' Tattoo show was a great success! It was our first time at this venue and we made a lot of new fans. We even had a few returning customers from the Montreal show excited about the new items. At one point a 17 year old kid came up to me and showed me his portfolio asking what I thought! It's funny cuz I used to be that kid before. Another interesting thing was contrary to all the conventions we've done last year, we had a lot of wholesale inquiries. Many tattoo shops and small boutiques also a really big goth store in Montreal came up to us and suggested they wanted to work with us! So all this is very exciting news.

Even though there were many slow times during the day it just gave Dora and myself time to be creative. We reworked on paper and made lists of all the ways we want to tune up our booth so it will be more visually exciting this year. Also we came up with a concept for this months new design which can look pretty interesting once I start working it out. Dora had some great ideas for a tshirt and hoodie bundle, and we figured out a way to bring back the paintings at a much more affordable rate. We look forward to presenting all our new ideas to you at our upcoming events this summer.
