"Tattoos and Brews" featured in HVMAG.

"Tattoos and Brews" is coming in a few short weeks and we got some great attention by Hudson Valley Magazine. The folks at HVMAG featured our inaugural event in their "1st Draft" column. Click the image below to read the article. Thanks HVMAG!

TATTOOS and BREWS at the MILL HOUSE

The arts of Modern Electric Tattooing and Micro Brewing are rich in history and steeped in tradition.

Both Graceland Tattoo and the Mill House Brewing Company have worked tirelessly to learn the intricacies of their age-old crafts.

These industry mainstays focus on Quality, Artistry and Hospitality in all they do. So now the Mill House Brewing Company has partnered up with Graceland Tattoo to bring the Hudson Valley “Tattoos and Brews”. Join us Sunday, August 30^th from 12-8 at the beautiful MillHouse on Mill Street in Poughkeepsie for a day of fine, locally sourced foods, artfully crafted ales and high caliber tattooing done on premises by the Folks of Graceland Tattoo and friends from Alliance Tattoo, Hudson River Tattoo Company, Forget me Not Tattoo, Hole in the Sky, Hat City Tattoo, & Skin City. Other local Artists and Craftspeople will be on site along with LIVE MUSIC.

A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Grace Smith House helping survivors of domestic violence. Advanced Tickets on sale at The Mill House and Graceland Tattoo. Check out millhousebrewing.com and gracelandtattoo.com for more information. So Enjoy a brew and get tattooed.

Allison helps to break a body piercing world record and set a new one.

Here's a great shot of our resident piercer Allison Lahikainen. Allison was part of a body piercing team that performed at the Steampunk World's Fair in NJ. Wyck, the person getting pierced, breaks the record for the number of 18ga needles pierced in an hour. 1,400 needles! 1,399 on the clock at 52 mintues.

The piercing team was headed up by Boots out of NH. Also piercing was his apprentice Jamie, Malakai of Inksanity, and of course our own Allison. She's not only a veteran piercer with over 17 years experience she has projects like these under her belt. Another reason to choose Graceland Tattoo when thinking about your next piercing.
