February in Review
Our Friday the 13th Flash Day was a success, better than we ever imagined! We found the sweet spot that packed the house and caused us to make Saturday an overflow day. We love the idea of quick, easy, inexpensive tattoos and apparently so do you! We had so much fun this month, we’ll be doing it again next month!
The year is starting to ramp up now. We’ve been getting emails inviting us to future events and to confirm events we’ve registered for. Keep checking the blog for updates to our events schedule and convention dates.
Our artists are working hard on new and exciting tattoos, check out the socials to see their most recent work whether it’s tattoos, flash or other art.
The online store is being updated weekly with Radiant Energy merch and our personal art. All artists take commissions if you want something you don’t see, or need a very special gift.

Flash Day Frenzy!
Friday the 13th Success!
The first Friday the 13th has come and gone, but there is another on on the way! We had such a great time tattooing all the clients who were able to make it in that day and the over flow day. We are looking forward to March 13th when we will do it all again. The appointment book is starting to fill up, so call or text 732-503-8469 to make your appointment today! We will be offering the same flash and possibly some new images as well.
Again, these images will be $50 each. We are only tattooing on arms and legs, but if you want a different location, these images will be available at regular price all year round.
First Responder Discount
Radiant Energy Tattoo offers a 10% first responder discount to many of the public service branches as a thank you for all you do for the community. Since we’ve opened shop, we’ve always offered a discount to active and retired police, fire, first aid, and military.
With so much uncertainty and stress these days, we are more grateful than ever to have heroes in our midst. So, this year we’ve expanded the discount to include nurses, medics and 911 dispatchers. We may have inadvertently forgotten a branch of service. If you have served in this capacity, but your branch is not listed, bring your ID and ask about the discount.
The discount is non-transferable and non-refundable and requires proof of service.
Fri 13th & Valentine’s Day
Friday the 13th Flash Day
We are all booked up for Friday the 13th! We may have some appointment times available on Saturday for the overflow. Call the shop (732) 503-8469 to find out if you can get in this month. No? Don’t worry, there is always next month! March 13th also falls on a Friday, so we are doing it all over again!
This time it will be walk-ins only, we want to get everybody in that we can so we have to streamline the process! We will have a sign up sheet. Once you are signed in, you don’t have to stay, we will text you when it’s your time!
February Overview
Friday the 13th Flash Day
We have 1 or 2 spots left, so call ahead and make an appointment! If you miss out, March 13th is coming up again in March! Book your appointment by calling or texting 732-503-8469. Some artists are booked solid already, so call and make your appointment for next month if you can’t get in now.
Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day is coming! Don’t know what to get your significant other? Or maybe you need a gift for someone you just met. You can’t go wrong with a tattoo gift certificate. It’s the gift that says, “I love you,” and the gift that says “I know you’ll love this!” The perfect gift every time!
Are you single? We are not having a Valentine’s Flash Day this year since Friday the 13th is the day before, BUT you can still get your anti-Valentine’s Day tattoo! There is a whole page of anti-Valentines tattoos available for Friday the 13th. Call or text 732-503-8469 to book.
January in Review
It may not look like much has happened at the shop this month, but so much is going on behind the scenes!
We also introduced a Refer a Friend program and are working on other customer appreciation programs to be established in the future.
Radiant Energy Online Store
The biggest behind the scenes project that happened this month is our online store! All of us at the shop have had a part in getting it up and running and we are proud of our accomplishment. More products are being added every week, so the store is ever changing and improving.
Our online store has 2 sides, we have the Also in Shop side that is full of tangible art created by our tattoo artists. It is available for purchase online or in the shop. In addition to the prints that each artist created, there are ceramics created by Casey and Caroline, paintings created by Caroline, plaques and wall hangings created by Rich, crocheted items created by Doreen and hand painted accessories created by Caroline. We also have some SkyGraphix t-shirts still available in the shop that are so cool I can’t believe we have some left!
The other side is our Print on Demand side. This is the side where the logo merch is listed. There are a lot of cool items with Radiant Energy logos that will be printed on demand (duh) and drop shipped directly to your home! While some of the apparel is seasonal, and will become unavailable at certain times of the year, the Lifestyle section of the store is year round and packed with awesome gifts for your Valentine or yourself! The weather is going to get colder before it gets warmer, so check out our sherpa blankets on our Lifestyle page here!

Whether working on first-time collectors or seasoned tattoo enthusiasts, she aims to deliver tattoos that age well, feel personal, and carry meaning.

Rich - Ryzart Tattoo
Rich is a dedicated tattoo artist known for blending precision, creativity and storytelling into every piece of work. With a strong foundation in drawing and design, he specializes in creating custom tattoos that reflect the personality, emotions and unique experiences of each client.
Art has always been a part of Rich’s life. Since he was a kid and able to hold a pencil he was drawing and copying his favorite characters off of cereal boxes. Fast forward many years later and it has become a career and passionate endeavor of his. As a side job, Rich does hand painted signs, pin-striping, glass gilding, logo design, murals, etc. Although he works in many different mediums, tattooing, in his opinion, is the holy grail of all art mediums.
Rich approaches every tattoo with patience, care and a commitment to quality. His studio environment is built on comfort and collaboration; ensuring clients feel heard, supported and excited throughout the process. Whether working on a small symbolic piece or a full-scale body project, Rich focuses on crafting tattoos that will age beautifully.
In August 2025, Rich has officially added tattooing to his range of artistic disciplines. He joined the APT (the Alliance of Professional Tattooists) to be part of a larger community and to have a voice in this ever-changing community. Rich states, “If you’re truly passionate about tattooing, I think it’s important to be aware of all aspects of the craft and be aware of the changes that may be put in place. I’m so excited to be a part of this craft and community and look forward to the future of tattooing.” Passionate about ongoing growth, he continues to study new techniques, explore fresh artistic influences and refines his craft one session at a time.
You can check out Rich’s tattoos here. Rich’s other art can be seen here.
