Shop News

We finally did it. We packed up the old shop and moved it across town. The old place served us well, but there is time a in every tattoo shops life when she has to ask herself, "Am I living up to my potential?". The answer in this case was no. We had always hoped that the old neighborhood would come back around. That some one would come around and buy up some of the old buildings, and put some cool shit in them. Turns out... no.  Once the mini-casino moved in, we knew it was time to move out.

I am super excited to welcome Matthew Forkenbrock to our family. Over the last year, I have interviewed countless tattooers, looking to fill our empty chair; but, none of them were up to my standards. I have always said, "The only people good enough to tattoo at Redbird, are those good enough to tattoo me.". If I wouldn't get tattooed by you, why would our clients? 

We will once again be sponsoring and participating in the Springfield Art Association's Paint the Street event. Every year the SAA throws an art block party in Downtown Springfield. Participants can purchase a 6'x6' square of Washington St., between 4th and 7th, and paint just about what ever they want in it!

Well, it's been a banger of a year, but we're ready to put it to rest. Thank you to all who walked through our doors, this year. It has been a pleasure to tattoo you, and we can only hope you enjoyed your visits as much as we did. We work hard to make Redbird the best it can be, and without you, that would not be possible. 

So, seriously, thank you so much for your support, and please, please, please, please, please... come see us again in 2016. We've got a lot of cool things planned, and we wouldn't want you to miss them.

Be safe tonight and Happy New Year!
