Updates . October 10th, 2011

AS OF OCTOBER 10TH 2011, I AM NO LONGER ACCEPTING ANY NEW CLIENTS UNTIL THE SPRING OF 2012.

I am currently too overwhelmed with my work load to take on any new clients, and would like to dedicate the rest of the October month to my original cients before I start on any new projects. I apologize for the inconvenience, but there is always next year, so hold on to your concepts until then!

I will be out of state from the months of November, 2011 until March of 2012 and the studio will be CLOSED. Thanks to everyone for a fantastic year!

Sincerely,
Sarah Frary, Bighorn Tattoo (307) 272-9988

Exclusive Features of Bighorn Tattoo

Newspaper article from February 2011, published in the Worland newspaper. Written by Bob Vines with photos by Matt Unrau. Thanks, fellas! The interview was a blast!

The Tattoos at Bighorn Tattoo are custom, one-of-a-kind works of skin art. Each design is either pre-drawn or free-handed on the body specifically for each individual client. The Artist stands strongly by the motto 'Think Before You Ink' -- and no client leaves the studio without being completely satisfied with their artwork. The Art of Tattoo is a ritualized Rite of Passage, preceding back to our own primordial origins; it is about the connection, between both the artist and her client, as well as the sentimentality attached to the artwork; the fundamental, spiritual, and emotional definitions, and the strength of the tattoo's deliberate communication.

The Studio is located in the heart of Ten Sleep; a tiny western town nestled at the base of the Bighorn Mountain range in the state of Wyoming. Low lighting and organic decor in a room that echoes the color of the red Wyoming earth create an atmosphere that is inviting and comfortable for anyone who ventures inside. Every piece of equipment used during the process of the tattoo is sterile and cleaned thoroughly. The tubes and needles are disposed of after every use. All supplies;, tubes, needles, etc. are provided exclusively through Eternal Tattoo Supply. The inks are from Alla Prima.

The Artist began her endeavors in tattooing in August of 2009 in Kentucky, where she apprenticed at a reputable shop under a phenomenal mentor. Her skills were thus honed in a professional environment, in a shop that also catered to custom artwork, and Sarah Frary thrived in her new skills with the tattoo machine. When a unique and fortuitous opportunity presented itself for Sarah to relocate to Wyoming, she leapt at the chance, assuming that her tattoo career would be put on hold. However, her love for Wyoming, which first bloomed when she was a child, and then her sudden love for Ten Sleep upon her arrival, encouraged her to remain. Fueled by her rural surroundings, she chose to open the private studio on an instinctive whim; attracting a handful of clients from all over the country to a unique area that she calls home. When not tattooing, she enjoys romping in the hills, dancing wildly at the local saloon, or pursuing her many other artistic projects. She strongly dislikes the internet, so you will not find her on Myspace or Facebook. Instead, she has a variety of other sites to explore . . .
