In honor of the shop’s anniversary, we have a little lore drop for you!
Did you know Pat has been tattooing in Flagstaff since 1996? He got his start in the back of a hair salon before opening his own studio in 1999. We even stumbled across an old ad for the shop in a phone book, which you can check out on the second slide!
It’s been a long road with plenty of ups and downs, but through it all, Pat has kept Burly Fish going. None of it would have been possible without the incredible clients who have supported the shop over the years.
We love Pat, we love our clients, and we love Burly Fish! Here’s to 27 years of tattoos, piercings, memories, and good people. Hopefully 27 more to come! 💚🪷🎉
