Your art can be for sale or not, whichever you prefer, and if you would like to donate a portion to charity that is up to you. Deadline for artist submissions is Nov 9, 2014. Please provide a link or photos of pieces you would like to submit including size dimensions.
- Local businesses to join forces with us and help create another successful event by donating goods or services to our silent auction (all proceeds will go to the charity, tbd soon). We will advertise your business in assosiation with the event online and in print.
- Clients, friends, family, and fans to suggest local charities that you would like to see supported in this event.
If you fall into one or more of these 3 categories listed above, please email us at info@liquidambertattoo.com with your submission, suggestion or inquiries.

From last years art show, "For The Birds".
Last weekend was Jenny's last days here at L.A.T. After starting her tattoo career with us 9 years ago, she is now moving on to pursue other passions. To commemorate these years she had Kylie tattoo an L.A.T tattoo machine on her. We love you too Jenny and wish you all the best!
Our lovely guest artist, Michael, who has been with us for the last month is leaving us soon but has one more day to tattoo one of his orginal designs. If you might be interested to get one of these designs on Friday Aug 1 please call or email to book in!
The time has come that our good friend/artist, Jenny Jarrett, is retiring from her tattoo career to pursue other endeavours. Jenny has been an integral part of the Liquid Amber team and we've enjoyed many great memories over the last 9 years together.
For Jenny's existing clients that have pieces to finish, or need touch-ups, please make sure to contact us asap to get in with Jenny before she leaves at the end of summer.
Please note: Jenny will not be taking any new clients before she leaves (unless you are already booked in).
Thanks for all your hard work and amazing presence, Jenny! You will be greatly missed, but we wish you all the best in your future adventures!
Love,
The L.A.T. family
