Start of Summer!
June is here! This month we are celebrating Pride, Dad’s and Grads, Flag Day is also the Army’s birthday, Game of Shrooms, and who knows what else could pop up!
ASBURY PRIDE FESTIVAL is Sunday, June 7th. We will have a booth at the festival grounds after the parade. Come out and see our hand made art to be raffled off to support Rainbow Railroad.
We are participating in the GAME OF SHROOMS again this year on June 13th! Game of Shrooms, started in 2019 by Attaboy, is like an Easter Egg Hunt for art and celebrates the spirit of unexpected surprises. Artists and gatherers participate in this world-wide event every year. Envision a collaborative art movement spanning the globe, free from religious dogma, where people actively create, share, and encounter moments of absolute freakin’ wonder. We will hide our hand made shrooms and you go find them! Check out our hint posts and see if you can find our shrooms!
ARMY’s 251st BIRTHDAY! We celebrate every day of the year with a 10% discount for active or retire members. Bring your proof of service to your tattoo appointment and let us reward you for your service.
Don’t forget to grab a couple of gift certificates for your DADS AND GRADS! The best gift givers, give Radiant Energy Tattoo gift certificates.
Asbury Pride Festival
Sunday, June 7th, Asbury Park Pride Parade starts at noon on Main St. It travels around until it ends at Bradley Park near Convention Hall. The Asbury Pride Festival will continue to celebrate until 7pm with many stage performances, vendor booths and pure unadulterated fun!
Don’t forget to stop by our booth, buy some raffle tickets and hopefully you will win a hand made art item crafted by our very own tattoo artists (and Doreen)! All proceeds go to Rainbow Railroad.
