“Coming from Chicago where I was spoiled for choice in tattoo shops, I was a bit anxious the first time I stepped foot into Studio 617. That anxiety immediately dissipated once I sat down for my consultation with Mikey Newblood about a coverup. He was kind and patient, and helped me work through my nebulous ideas and loose concepts for what I wanted, and delivered a design that exceeded my expectations. Working with Mikey this year has been an incredible journey, and I feel so fortunate to have found a shop with some of the kindest, most talented artists in east Tennessee - Olivia, Kris, and Tucker are also exceedingly gifted in what they do. Not to mention Kaytee the office manager is friendly and communicative, and with apprentice Cameron's help, keeps an inviting environment. Awesome people, welcoming shop, and some of the best ink in East Tennessee and beyond!”
“Cirrus is so thankful for our partnership with Glenstone Galleries. We love to support local and were in need of a business to stretch and frame a custom painting that was 5x8 feet. Talk about BIG! The staff was incredibly helpful, informative and genuinely wanted the best for us. Should we have any needs like this again in the future, we will be using them again!”
“They had a tent in maryville farmers market where they were allowing kids to make clay frogs and paint them. Once they dry they will fire them in the kiln and we can pick it up from their store. I found this to be a wonderful opportunity to get to know the business and realize they offer kids classes. In a week or so I will go into the store to pick up his frog and take more photos and advance or a local pottery studio.”
