"It's always an ongoing process and we're going to pull it off again this year," said Randy Zarnke, president of the Fairbanks Hockey Hall of Fame, which organizes the celebration of Fairbanks'. In July 2021, the Fairbanks North Star Borough Parks and Recreation Department took over management of the facility. We know what a tattoo is worth.Date of experience: April 2017. Where some shops juice the clock and charge you by the hour and go really, really slow, we’re like, ‘Hey, this is what it’s going to cost.’ It’s easier that way. “We’ve taken every negative of every shop and turned it into a positive. Liberty Tattoo’s artists generally charge by the piece instead of by the hour, which is part of Gyatso’s customer-first philosophy. Tattoo prices depend on size and difficulty, and can range from tiny infinity knots or birds to large, full-back tattoos. The ink is preservative and carcinogen-free and is not tested on animals. Gyatso said 90 percent of the ink he uses is from a company called Eternal Ink and is made from organic pigments, distilled water, witch hazel and alcohol. She said, ‘I’ve never had one, I might as well get some. “She got four in a month,” Gyatso said, shaking his head in admiration. The oldest client Gyatso ever had was a 94-year-old woman. Clients must be at least 18, not pregnant or nursing, and not under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Liberty Tattoo’s other clients come from all walks of life and in all ages. It’s part of military culture and goes hand in hand,” he said. Gyatso said there is no such thing as a typical tattoo client, but he acknowledged about half of his clients were in the military. We’re professional tattoo artists, and we try to do a couple a day. “A lot of the shops in town, you hear they’re booked out for a long time, and the reason is (the artists) only do one tattoo a day. “Happy employees make happy artists, and we hope to go to seven days a week in the next month or so,” he said. This is the best place to open a business.’”Įven though Gyatso opened just more than a year ago, he’s looking to expand. I tell everybody, ‘If you think you can do it, you’ll make it here. I tell people all the time: just do good and don’t screw people over. “If you’re not a piece of crap, you do really well. “I’ve always plugged my name everywhere I went, and I’ve always received good reviews,” he said. He worked at two local tattoo studios before deciding to open his own. Gyatso owned studios in Ketchikan and Sitka before moving to Fairbanks. “We were on a boat and I looked around and said, ‘When I’m an adult, I’m gonna move here.’” “When I was 14, I came up to Ketchikan with my dad and went fishing with some friends,” he said. He eventually opened a studio of his own in Eugene, but after a falling out with his business partners, he decided to fulfill a longtime dream and moved to Alaska. Gyatso started tattooing professionally in Eugene, Oregon, after completing a traditional apprenticeship and spending a few years paying his dues. Gyatso prides himself on hiring the best, most experienced tattoo artists he can find, and noted that he and his two top artists have more than 75 years of experience among them. Gyatso specializes in freehand Polynesian tattoos, which he learned from good friend Riccyboy Novera Jr. The studio’s five tattoo artists can create any type of tattoo a customer wants, such as photo realistic, traditional, custom, Japanese and Polynesian, to name a few. Liberty Tattoo is clean and bright, and the walls are adorned with “flash,” the industry name for tattoo designs drawn or printed on paper and displayed for customers either to choose or to gain inspiration from.
