FORT Flash day and Open House!

It’s happening! After much graft from many amazing queers, we are opening FORT for a Tattoo Flash Day and Open House this Monday, 29th of May.

Five of our artists (Jamie, Ems, Rosa, Sian and Sega) will be tattooing during the day and you’ll also get the chance to buy artwork (or trade for it) and hang out in our space.

As FORT is entirely community built/funded, we have made a list of things we still need for the space at www.sokindregistry.org/FORT . Please have a look and tick off anything you can contribute. In return for these gifts we’ll be trading trans joy t-shirts by @squarepegtattoo, A3 risograph prints (made by our artists and printed by @camp.books.and.prints) and the last few FORT 2023 calendars.

FLASH DAY INFO

From 10am to 6pm we will be doing first come first serve flash tattoos. Please click on the link in our bio to book an arrival time.

We’ll email you more info and the address once you’ve signed up. Booking an arrival time does not guarantee a tattoo, you’ll still need to choose an artist and a design and get in their queue when you arrive. We’ll call you when it’s 15 minutes to your appointment, so you can hang out at the studio or go for a walk/coffee while you wait.

We’ll only be tattooing with black ink (no colour tattoos) and on arms and legs.

OPEN HOUSE INFO:

From 7.30pm to 10pm, we will put down our needles and join you in our Open Studio to celebrate all our hard work! We will have music from @thedollnameddan and (vegan gluten-free) cake from our sponsor @kweenkream, as well as non-alcoholic drinks, and Riso prints from all our resident artists on sale.

Many of you from the trans community have put so much of your own time to help us build this space and we’d love for you all to see it! We will have a monitored guest list at the door to comply with our building regulations so please make sure to register!

❗️FORT is a sober space, alcoholic drinks will not be available and are not allowed into our studio.
