10.11.2013 - PLAN 9 TATTOO CLOSING IT'S DOORS AT THE END OF OCTOBER/PLAN 9 TATTOO FOR SALE.
***FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE***
PLEASE, read this completely etc. Unless of course it doesn't apply to you/you lose interest at some point. But for those interested, PLEASE READ!
AS OF THE END OF OCTOBER, 2013, PLAN 9 TATTOO(under current management)WILL BE CLOSING IT'S DOORS FOR GOOD!
I'm very sad to see it go, but unfortunately keeping the shop open is NO LONGER an option. Which leads me to the next few bits of info/statements...
1. PLAN 9 TATTOO is FOR SALE. I only have 3 weeks to close completely, or sell the shop itself. That said, for those that had possibly been interested in opening a shop in Meriden,(but can not due to the ordinance not allowing new tattoo shops to open in the city)NOW IS YOUR CHANCE. PLAN 9 is "grandfathered" in to the city of Meriden. Once it is gone, it's gone. And will not be able to re-open as a tattoo shop. If YOU or ANYONE YOU KNOW MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN PURCHASING THE SHOP, please email: plan9tattoo@gmail.com or call: 203.238.1885 for more information.
2. STUDIO EQUIPMENT FOR SALE. If we can not sell the shop itself, we would, hopefully, like to sell the majority of the equipment inside. Tattoo chairs, autoclave, ultrasonic, body jewelry, flash rack/flash and MORE. If YOU or ANYONE YOU KNOW MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN PURCHASING STUDIO EQUIPMENT, again, please email: plan9tattoo@gmail.com or call 203.238.1885 for more information about what we have/prices etc.
3. AS FOR ME PERSONALLY. In case anyone/my clients are wondering, I AM NOT QUITTING TATTOOING! I obviously need to find a job/shop, but I will continue tattooing until I'm old and simply can't anymore, so you need not worry. I will be tattooing, just simply not at PLAN 9 anymore. I WILL BE REACHING OUT TO ALL OF MY CLIENTS in the next few days/weeks to update everyone on what's going on with me/my location etc. Or you can reach out to me if you'd like.
THANK YOU!!! FROM THE ABSOLUTE BOTTOM OF MY HEART TO ALL OF MY FRIENDS, FAMILY, CLIENTS, SUPPORTERS, AND FORMER ARTISTS OF PLAN 9 TATTOO over the last 7 years. You kept us alive as long as you could and I/we are FOREVER GRATEFUL! I'm sad, of course, to see it go. But sometimes things must come to an end. This door closes, but I can only hope that in that door closing I am beginning a new and positive chapter in my life.
More info soon/as it comes.
THANK YOU AND I LOVE YOU ALL. <3

6.29.13 - TOMMYS TATTOO CONVENTION 2013 and MORE!
It's certainly been awhile hasn't it? Well we are back, and here are a couple of updates for everyone:It is very sad to have to announce that BOTH MIKE HARMON and our Piercer MYRANDA LAURITO NO LONGER WORK HERE AT PLAN 9 TATTOO. We wish them all the best but they felt it was time to move on, they will be dearly missed.
THAT SAID: PLAN 9 TATTOO is looking to hire TWO TATTOOERS, and possibly a Piercer as well. If you or someone you know might be interested in the opportunity to work with KELLY GREEN and BRENNAN FREEMANTLE, please CONTACT US ASAP. SERIOUS inquiries only, MUST provide a link yo your online portfolio for consideration.
In other exciting news: The conventions we've worked over that last few months have all been great, and at the 7TH ANNUAL MASSACHUSETTS TATTOO AND ART FESTIVAL Brennan managed to nab an Award for SECOND PLACE LARGE COLOR. But our most successful convention yet was the 2ND ANNUAL TOMMY'S TATTOO CONVENTION! Not only did we do better at this convention than we ever have tattoo/work wise, but BRENNAN also managed to take home his FIRST FIRST PLACE AWARD(Medium Black and Grey)for the Ray Charles portrait he did not too long ago.
Lastly, TATTOO AVAILABILITY: Being that it is now July, we should mention that both BRENNAN and KELLY have spots still open for this month, and are also now booking August. To make an appointment with either of our fantastic artists please do CONTACT US.
A big THANK you to all of our wonderful clients for supporting our work, keeping us busy, and making the life we lead possible. You'll never know quite how much it means.

7.3.12 - What's new as of late?
Howdy all! Thought I'd throw down a quick update as far as what's going on with the site as well as at PLAN 9 TATTOO itself! For starters:
We here at PLAN 9 TATTOO LOVE SUPERHEROS! That said, "THE AMAZING SPIDERMAN" came out today, so for this week(7.2.12-7.7.12)we will be offering lil' "spider symbol" and web tattoos for $40.00! Also, next week is yet ANOTHER "Friday the 13th", meaning we will be doing our usual "$13.00 13s" as well as little flashy things(hockey masks, black cats etc.)for $40.00! So hopefully we'll be seeing some of you for those deals and we'll get to have some fun!
As for the official PLAN 9 TATTOO site: Quite obviously it is still VERY much so a work in progress, but we have some basics up as you can see, and are working on refining and tweaking things(graphics, artists galleries, contacting our artists directly etc.), so stay tuned as we do our very best to work out the kinks and get the site running as smoothly, and looking as great as possible.
