It's been a long time...

With so much social media to keep up with the Graceland Blog has been neglected. It's been way to long since I've posted. I've lost track of where I'm sharing all that's been going on. Just to get you all up to speed, things are good. We are staying busy. Walk in Thursdays are a success. For those of you who don't know; Evan, Joe and I (Adam) rotate walk ins. Each Thursday one of us has a cleared schedule and we devote our day to first come first served tattoos. I've recently added some new flash to our walls and added a flash rack that can be used as inspiration or can be chosen as is for your next tattoo.

Most recently we did our second annual "Tattooing to Save Babies" event. I'm proud to say we raised $5,517.00 this year for the March of Dimes. They help to give support to premature babies and their families. We will be sure to run the event again next fall. It's become something near and dear to our hearts.

The fall has come upon us and the holidays are fast approaching. We have plans to host an art show and reception sometime in the months to come. Allison will be adding more and more to the jewelry display case and remember Graceland Gift Certificates make the best gift. I can't tell you how many people came in happy as could be to cash in on their gift certificate.

October 17th is Hudson Vally Magazine's "Best of the Hudson Valley" night at the Poughkeepsie Grand. We will be there to celebrate all the business that have earned this prestigious award and I will be on site tattooing for party goers to watch. For those who would like to go to the event go to Hudson Valley Magazines website and get your tickets.

Just a reminder for those who use intstagram; we have an account for the shop. You can follow us to see what's going down at instagram@gracelandtattoo.

We are still very active on Facebook. We use Facebook and Instagram to announce cancellations as they happen.  Like us on Facebook at facebook.com/gracelandtattoo.


One last thing, we are lucky enough to have a great client base that keeps us busy. All of the tattooers have a wait list, some are longer than others. Please remember, people to cancel and change there appointments. Things come up, life gets in the way and when that happens it opens up a spot for those of you who have appointments booked. So please don't get discouraged. We value all of you and do our best to accommodate you. Thank you for choosing to work with us.
