Under the Sun Tattoo recently celebrated its first art opening under its new name and ownership. The shop was formally known as Floyd Tattoo and Arts Gallery.
Abby Bowen, tattoo artist and shop co-owner, was happy with the opening turn out.
An attendee who admired the work of Lore Deighan, one of the featured artists, later purchased Deighan’s cityscape to the far right.
Ivan Anderson (right) from Healing Tree Wellness Center enjoyed refreshments and conversation with Sarah Greene, whose tattoo-related photography was on display. Other artists featured were, Lore Deighan, Leigh Rainy, Linnea Brandstedt, Mary Koleszar, Missy Blake and Abby Bowen.
Missy Blake is one of the shops featured tattoo artists. She is pictured standing next to a door she painted. Along with Blake and Bowen, Dave Wicks, the former owner of the shop, will be a featured tattoo artist at the shop.
Bowen’s partner and shop co-owner Luke Thomas is pictured through the shop’s window, which features a newly painted sign bearing the shop’s new name. Thomas is a member of the popular Floyd band Spoon Fight. Bowen also performs with the band. _________Our World Tuesday

They are people just like you and me! I have always been afraid to go into a tattoo shop thinking it would full of drug dealers and drug takers. I know this is silly and not true, but it got stuck in my mind somehow.

Although I have no tattoo I would be lost in the beauty of this shop.
Thanks for visiting.
