The smoke from a huge barbecue permeated the Shoppes at South Bend in Riverview last Sunday where Mike Parsons Ink celebrated its fourth annniversary in business.
To thank his clientele, and to welcome new customers, there was barbecued pork and chicken with all the fixings, free to all who attended.
The success of the local tattoo shop can be attributed to high quality artistry, an upscale, clean environment and a diverse customer base. Along with the barbecue — prepared by pit bosses Ty Simmons and Steve Simmons — there were tattoo gift card giveaways, a tandem low-rider bicycle raffle, and raffles for stereo equipment.
A display booth and prizes were provided by Audio Plus Inc., and a custom car exhibit by Superior Autos For You was also at the event.
The tattoo shop is located at 13346 Lincoln Road, Riverview, near Ace Hardware and East Coast Pizza. For an appointment, stop by or call 813-374-2146. Visit www.MikeParsonsInk.com for more information about the artists and to see a gallery of their work.
