Don't Drop the Soap

Nikki had a little accident in the shower last Saturday morning that she swears wasn't related to anything improper. She was hospitalized briefly over the weekend but is back home safe and sound now. She will, however unfortunately, have to remain at home until Tuesday of next week, which means we wont be able to take any piercing appointments this week.

You can send her your well wishes here, or you can just stop by the studio next week and give her some soap on a rope... she needs it ;)

Smokin'

So we're all just finishing up dinner, our new artist Jim is settling down to his 5:00 appointment, and Nikki says to me, "Do you smell smoke?"

Turns out there was a small fire under the studio's back porch that was mostly dead leaves trapped under the very old wood back there. The fire was producing an enormous amount of smoke for the relatively small area that was burning. It was a windy evening and that's most likely what fanned the flames, as it were.

We would like to say a huge and heartfelt Thank You to the Gettysburg Fire Dept. They responded like lightening and did an amazingly fast and effiecent job in containing the fire and securing our property. Their professionalism is unrivaled.

And the studio is fine. Both Raye and Jim were back tattooing within an hour or so of the fire breaking out; their clients were both good natured in taking all the extra added excitement of getting thier tattoo (for one of them it was her very first tattoo!) in stride. Our thanks to them as well.

It does smell of smoke in the studio and probably will for a few days, but we feel very grateful to have had the incident be as minor as it turned out to be. We appreciate all the well wishes.

It's....ALIVE!!!

I think I have all the bugs worked out of this but please do let me know if you are encountering any weirdness.

Brand Spankin' New

So new, in fact, it's not even published yet... but I have the new Chrome Gardens website burning a hole in my pocket and I'm still deciding if I want to incorporate a blog. If you ever see this post, welp, you know what I decided.
