Five Points South Welcomes a Fresh Ink Experience with Nowhere Tattoos
Get ready, Birmingham! There’s a tattoo revolution about to take place in the vibrant Five Points South area, and it’s bringing something fresh and exciting to the neighborhood. Mark your calendars because Nowhere Tattoos is set to open its doors on July 25!
Meet the Owners: Dan and Sherri Williams
The new shop is owned by the dynamic duo, Dan and Sherri Williams, who aren’t new to the scene. They have been keeping the spirit of the Five Points area alive with their bar, Dave’s Pub, which successfully reopened in July 2022 after a brief hiatus. With the closing of Stay Gold in 2022, the need for a tattoo shop in this busy entertainment district became apparent, and the Williamses were eager to fill that gap.
A Prime Location
Nowhere Tattoos found its home in the space formerly occupied by Your CBD Store, which made a quiet exit recently. Situated at 1204 20th St S, the new tattoo shop is nestled conveniently between Mellow Mushroom and Dobber’s Five Points Pub, right in the heart of a walkable area bustling with activity. It’s perfect for those looking to grab a quick bite or drink before or after getting some fresh ink!
Bringing Experience to Birmingham
To lead the new venture, Dan pulled in his longtime friend, James O’Connell, a talented tattoo artist with over 25 years of experience. James is relocating from Orlando, FL to Birmingham, bringing a wealth of skill and creativity that’s sure to dazzle both seasoned tattoo enthusiasts and first-timers alike.
A Vision for Tattoo Artists
The vision for Nowhere Tattoos goes beyond just offering killer tattoo designs; it’s about creating a fantastic work environment for artists. James has faced his share of challenges throughout his career and is determined to tackle those head-on in this new shop. Each artist will have the flexibility to personalize their workspace, while also enjoying consistent quality across all stations.
The Williamses understand how important quality is in the tattooing process. That’s why Nowhere Tattoos is set to equip its artists with top-of-the-line tools and equipment, including the best needles, inks, and materials available. Artists will be able to focus on their craft, ensuring that customers receive not only beautiful tattoos but also a safe and enjoyable experience.
Grand Opening Celebration
The grand opening event is anticipated to be a lively celebration, and the community is encouraged to join in on the festivities! With the buzz already building, attendees are invited to tag @bhamnow on social media, which will be a great way to share their excitement and connect with others in the area who might be planning to attend.
A New Chapter in Birmingham’s Tattoo Scene
With the opening of Nowhere Tattoos, Birmingham is on the brink of rekindling its tattoo scene and welcoming new artistic talent. Whether you’re looking to commemorate a special moment, express your individuality, or simply admire the artistry involved, Nowhere Tattoos aims to become your go-to destination.
