On Saturday, September 28th, starting promptly at noon, Lighthouse Tattoo will be offering all piercings except for dermal anchors for $20, a savings of over 30% from our normal rates! We expect a lot of traffic, so since our parking lot is so small, we are asking our clients to park across the street. Please do not park next door, as they will tow.

On Thursday, September 26th, we will be taking prepaid appointments for 15 minute windows, in order to help reduce wait times (something we’ve learned from our Friday the 13th forays). Starting at noon on the 26th, you can call Lighthouse Tattoo, pay your 20$, and schedule your 15 minute window of time. This will ensure you can receive quick service and we highly recommend it, as spaces will be limited. Due to an expected high volume of phone traffic, we will ONLY be taking appointments for $20 Piercing Day on Thursday the 26th.

On April 22nd, to commemorate 420 and the slowly creeping legalization of recreational marijuana laws being passed in this country, Lighthouse Tattoo will be hosting a 420-TOO party, where participants can sample legal CBD products such as smoking, vaping, oils, and edibles in honor of the changing political climate we currently reside under the thumb of. The name for the party is fitting, as it’s on 4/22, but also because CBD has become a widely acceptable form of self-care and recreation at a time when Americans could really use a bit of both.

Hopefully, someday soon, we’ll all be able to gather together to celebrate the legalization of THC products and upend one of the more egregious legislative oversights in this county’s sordid history. Until, we’ll take the next best thing. So please join us on Saturday, April 22nd at 8pm to enjoy some of the fruits of mother nature and enjoy some great company, we’ll try to keep Beefcake Jake off the pole this time…

ERMAHGERD! IT’S BAAACK!!! Our annual Harry Potter Fan Appreciation Day is back. Lighthouse Tattoo is home to some very, very big fans of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series of books. Will , our beloved founder and the architect of our continued success, raised his kids on Harry Potter and it certainly shows. We went so far as to take a shop trip to Universal Studios for their Harry Potter world last year and we’re going back this year, right after the party (well, like a week after). Christa and Katelyn both have Harry Potter portrait leg sleeves in progress, also performed by Will, a massive collection of award-winning tattoos. There will be free and cheap Harry Potter-themed tattoos to celebrate our shared love of this wonderful story. We will play games and have contests, and did we mention it’s a costume party!?! So shine up those brooms kids, and wax those wands, as this is going to be an event not to be missed!

On Saturday, June 18th, starting promptly at 12 noon, the Lighthouse Tattoo Apprentice Corps will be hosting a day where tattoos are completely free.

What’s the catch? Only that we ask that any tattoo performed that day can be done in less than two hours, so more people have the opportunity to get in.

Here’s the particulars: We will begin handing out tickets at 1130. at 1pm and every hour after that, we will pass out more tickets. Tickets will be drawn to see who gets tattooed next. If someone wants a tattoo that will take more than two hours to complete, they will lose their spot and we will draw again (don’t be greedy). We will have contests of skill and strength in order for interested parties to earn more tickets and thus, increase their chances for winning.

A warning: Last year we had a small number of people who complained because they didn’t get tattooed even though they waited for 5 hours. No one is guaranteed to get tattooed at this event. If you don’t like it, don’t come. If you bitch about it online, we will put you on blast on the internet and let them handle you. If we have any more crybabies like last year, we will discontinue the event and we will make sure everyone know who caused it. Don’t be that asshole.

Extra tickets will be awarded to individuals who:

1. Wear an eye catching costume and wave at passing traffic for at least ten minutes- 5 tickets.

2. If you have a special talent that can entertain us (singing or play an instrument; magic act or juggling, fire eating/breathing, etc, has to be good, no amateurs) - 5 tickets

3. You can give your tickets away, so bring your friends that hate tattoos and get them to give you their tickets!

4. If you pay full price for a piercing, you will receive an additional 5 tickets per piercing

We are a biker-friendly shop, so we will have an impromptu bike show and the winner(s) of the show will be given extra tickets. We have a pro-spec pool table at the shop, so we will probably have some sort of pool tournament to go to the front of the line, so bring your cue sticks! There will be other ways to earn more tickets, we just haven’t figured them out yet!

This will be a party atmosphere, so plan on hanging out for a while and show up with a good attitude, patience is the name of the game here and nobody likes a sore loser. Also, it’s very important that your design is as print-ready as possible, these young artists will not be helping anyone pick out fonts for lettering or drawing involved pieces, so know what you want and have it on your phone by the time you get here!

If you are not sure how long your tattoo will take and want to see if it would be good, please fee free to swing by the shop during our regular business hours anytime before the day of the event and we will just tell you if it will work or not!

We are covering the cost of supplies and spending our time to do something cool for you, please bring cash for tipping your artist, as it will be expected in this case, though the amount is up to you.

We also like to use events like this to raise money for good causes, we don’t have the cause figured out yet, but if you have been fortunate enough to maybe help someone out this year, we ask that you consider contributing to our cause once it is determined for this event.

Lastly, what we learned from the event last year is that we will need more help than we have in order to pull this off. We are asking for volunteers to help out during this event. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

First off, we LOVE Harry Potter! No joke, we’re going to Universal Studios this September as a shop because we love it so much. So, this July 31st (Harry’s birthday), Lighthouse Tattoo will be celebrating Harry Potter Fan Appreciation Day!!!

What does this mean? You’re a Wizard! And Wizards get half-priced Wizarding World-themed tattoos all day! We’ll stop tattooing early to switch into party mode, so please schedule your appointment in advance, as appointments will book fast!

At the party we’ll have free giveaways to the best costumes in the following categories: Most Fantastic Beast; Best DeathEater; Best Muggle; Best Professor, as well as prizes for some of the games we’ll play. There’ll be a Harry Potter tattoo contest, of course! We will also have a special offer to raise funds for a local charity, as this has become a passion of ours in the aftermath of Covid-19. So, stay logged in to Lighthousetattoo.net for more as we continue to build and improve our Harry Potter Fan appreciation day!

Last year, George Floyd was murdered the day before Will’s (our owner’s) birthday. Once we got through the grief of what we’d all seen, the whole world seemed to catch fire. Sadness turned to anger and then rage, uncontrollable at times. While we’re still sifting through the ashes to figure out the next steps after the conviction of his murderer and what the future of policing looks like, we know one thing: We’re all in this together.

Last year, Lighthouse Tattoo hosted a barbeque on the 4th of July in support of Black Lives Matter. We thought it was appropriate to do so because of the occasion, and who doesn’t love a good barbeque on the 4th? While we don’t agree with the BLM organization and we want to be clear on that, we do support this movement and Lighthouse Tattoo tries to stay apolitical in most things.

While this might be a little weird, we took great comfort that even the new Captain America is portrayed by a black man (what can we say, we’re comic-book nerds). If you haven’t seen the new Falcon and the Winter Soldier series on Disneyplus, we believe it handles some of these very issues beautifully. It even impacted our decision whether or not to continue this fundraiser on the 4th of July or not. So we’re keeping it here!

The BLM barbeque is just that: A barbeque, not a protest, not a statement. Everyone is invited, including members of the law enforcement community, and everyone is welcome. We will have free food and drinks and for everyone who shows up, Lighthouse Tattoo will donate $10 to the NAACP’s Legal Defense Fund, or LDF. The NAACP is a time-tested organization dedicated to the prosperity of the black community. It’s approach is balanced, organized, and well thought out. We encourage everyone to take a look at what they have to offer.

So please, before you get out on the lake or go to watch fireworks that evening or just after church that day, stop by Lighthouse Tattoo for a hot dog or a burger and show your support!

This Saturday, May 29th, Lighthouse Tattoo will be offering a special free tattoo event! Crystal, Dustin, and Kelly will be doing free tattoos starting promptly at 12 noon, until 10pm that evening. We would suggest at least a $20 tip for your artist, but there will be no actual cost associated with the tattoo. Sign-ups will start at 1130 and tattooing will begin at noon.

This event is an attempt to thank our loyal customers and the overarching community for their support, while giving these young apprentices some additional experience. That being said, it will greatly increase the speed of things if everyone who plans on attending this event brings the most tattoo-ready reference they can. If you need someone to spend a lot of time drawing up an original piece you will definitely be cutting into other people’s times.

This event is also a party so we’ll have food and games for your entertainment, and while the first few tattoos to sign-in will be first come, first served, the rest will be dictated by a number of factors. These factors will involve things such as 1. Has the person been a paying client of Lighthouse Tattoo before? 2. How long will the tattoo take? and most importantly 3. Can the person stand up to the challenge?

What Challenge, you ask?

We’re trying to avoid the kind of gridlock an offer of this magnitude can create, so we have some options to help get you to the front of the line!

1. The Tattoo Gloryhole: It’s probably not as bad as it sounds people. Here’s the deal: if you just want a free tattoo and you’re not picky, step up, spin the wheel, put your arm (or whatever’s getting tattooed, don’t be weird) through the curtain, and get what you get! Fun for everyone!

2. Take the Physical Challenge: If you’re not over 30, you may not know what program this challenge pays homage to, but Double Dare was awesome, so here it is! Simply put, those willing to sweat in order to get tattooed may compete against other able-bodied participants in order to win a position at the front of the tattoo line! Push-ups, Squats, the longest handstand or the most steps while walking on your hands, maybe it’s armwrestling, whatever the challenge may be, this one is sure to test your mettle

3. Ever heard of Dude Perfect?: Evidently there’s this guy on Youtube that tries these insane stunts of skill. We will setup some of these unlikely tasks and give people a chance to go to the front of the line if they can accomplish them.

We expect to have a great time, do some cool tattoos, and make some new friends. We’ll also be making a special announcement that day. Everyone is invited to come out and show your support, whether you’re getting tattooed or not, some come on down to Lighthouse Tattoo on May 29th for free tattoo day and stay for the party once those are done!
