Unique by any measure, Arsenal Tattoo & Design is a
kid-friendly tattoo shop. It’s bright and clean with lots of room to jostle
about; wall hangings stay below pornographic radars, and Frank Sinatra and
Patsy Cline croon among the rafters. In other words, we make a point to avoid
anything that would be deemed “untoward” — or, rather, anything our parents may
not approve.
We had a gallery full of kiddos here for the Lunar New Year
Celebration, each one contributing their colorful marks to an outlined dragon.
And prior to that, we hosted a birthday party for one special lil’ cuss. He and
all his friends went home that night with bellies full of pizza and arms
covered with temporary tattoos.
And all day every day, young talent is displayed in our gallery.
We’ve partnered with the Bryan ISD art program so that each grading period we
receive a new installation from the elementary school students. Our customers
invariably are impressed with the art, but it’s the students’ reactions that’ll
steal your heart. They walk into the gallery all wide-eyed and smiley, glancing
around this vast space for their very own piece of creativity.
