The Dirty Word, Tattoo

Art & Soul's Tattoo Apprentice, Beth Speer.

There are so many people who still view the word "tattoo" as a negative word. What was once considered a word only associated with bikers and street walkers is now more mainstream than ever. Ask your friends, family, teachers and doctors, I'm sure some of them are part of the 40% of America that is tattooed.

With thousands of shops nationwide, New Glarus is fortunate to have one of the most uncommon and unique tattoo shops. Art & Soul in New Glarus is not only a tattoo shop, though also a place where over 30 local artists sell their art. From pottery and jewelry to metal work and painting and beyond.

"I wanted to create a space that people did not feel threatened or uncomfortable," says Owner, Renee' May. With the bright white walls, cheery staff and every inch of this small space adorned with one-of-a-kind art, you will quickly see why Art & Soul is an original for sure.

"We even have artwork on the ceiling that the children of Small World Childcare painted for us," says Joe Weber, Tattoo Artist at Art & Soul. 

Take a chance and see why Art & Soul just may be your new place to shop locally!  Located at 412 2nd Street, in beautiful downtown New Glarus.
