ALL SAINTS TATTOO, AUSTIN: All Saints Tattoo Opening Party!

Meat and heat!

Yesterday was our grand opening event and the turn out was better than we hoped for!

Austin severely rules!!!

If you live in texas you know we are in the center of a volcano weather wise, but we were lucky to have a small reprieve with some over cast and drizzle...

At 7:00 on the dot, it was already full inside the shop... people were mingling and getting their meat on with BLUE OX BBQ ! SOO GOOD. THANK YOU for feeding us Blue Ox! Treats from BIG TOP CANDY and mini cup cakes from SUGAR TOOTH BAKERY was also being devoured--- yummm. Then we had our Raffle for Hank Williams the third tickets, shirts ( PRINTED BY ART DON'T PAY!) and chronicle Ads were flying --- We received Alter Sacrifices like Mary with a vile of holy water from Saint Louis Cathedral, Flowers and even teeth!! AND ( not least) Joe put up our KILLER graphic sign!

...the Shiner and Jameson was flowing Y'all !!!!

So many friends old and new came to wish us well... We were sincerely touched by everyone's support! Even the ADORABLE Shanghai Kate Hellenbrand graced us with her presence giving us all old school stories about industry icons ( all good , i promise) and tellings of her whirl wind tour dates of Europe about to kick off... we love you Kate!

Our shop hostesses and hosts ( ok shop guys;) Were a HUGE help organizing and being awesome... so thank you for being there for us...
