January 31, 2010   20% OFF REWORKS
   New Addiction is going to Fix your Poorly Done, Old or Faded Tattoos for 20% OFF!
Are you unsatisfied with one of your tattoos ? Do you have an old or faded tattoo? Right now, we are offering a serious discount on re-coloring and/or re-working your tattoos! Maybe you don’t like the quality of work you recieved when you got your tattoo. Maybe your tattoo is just old and faded or it has seen too much sun and the colors are starting to fade; Come see us! We will help you!

We are confident that you will see the difference in our work and you will be back to see us at New Addiction for a brand new tattoo in the future.

Some people believe that if they are unhappy with one of their tattoos, other Tattoo artists are unwilling to help them do anything about it. Well, that may be true for some studios, but here at New Addiction, we are committed to providing the public with tattoos that they will love for life. We will be more than happy to repair or recolor any tattoo that needs some help, or if necessary, we can talk about ways to completely cover it up with a new tattoo. Don’t wait any longer! We are excited to talk to you about the possibilities!

January 11, 2010 Guest Artists
Davey James from Electric Cobra in Portland Oregon will be one our Guest Artist joining us again in April [please stop in for more details or to make an appointment] Davey is an very talented artist who specializes in custom classic tattoos. He will be taking both walk in's and appointments while he is here but if you would like a guaranteed spot in his chair you should call or stop in to make an appointment. Check out a sample of his Tattoos and Artwork below!

December 10, 2009   We are Licensed!
     As of today, New Addiction is officially the first and currently only licensed shop in Kalamazoo!  Public act 149 goes into full effect January 1, 2010. This law states that individuals shall not tattoo, brand, or perform body piercing on another individual unless that tattooing, branding, or body piercing occurs at a body art facility licensed by the Michigan Department of Community Health. Please see www.michigan.gov/bodyart for more information. We are vert excited about the new laws and regulations regarding the tattoo and piercing industry and we are very proud to be the first in the city to be in compliance :D

November 15, 2009   We have only ONE location
     Recently, it has come to our attention that there may be some confusion about a new shop across campus that currently employs some of our previous workers. Due to their staff, some people think this other shop is affiliated with New Addiction. Please keep in mind that often in work places people are let go for a reason. We would like to let everyone know that we are in No way, shape or form affiliated with any other shops in town or anywhere else. With that said, if you want the same high quality work and superior customer service that you have come to know from New Addiction over the past 8 years, then please come to our one and only location, the Lime Green building at 1506 W Michigan Ave.

October 7, 2009   Sundays (No Piercings on Sunday)
     We are back open on Sundays from 1:00pm to 6:00pm! But just so you know, on Sundays we do not do piercings, we do Only Tattoos!  Our talented piercers need a day off to redeem their strength and super piercing abilities every week and Sundays are that day of rest.

September 15, 2009   We are Sorry!!
      It has recently come to our attention that some of our clients may have had a negitive experience due to some of our previously employed staff members. We just wanted to let you know that if you had a bad experience at New Addiction, chances are that person responsible for that is no longer with us so if have a tattoo by us and your artist no longer works for us please still come in and redeem your free touch up! A different, very friendly and talented artist will be happy to assist you. Again, we're very sorry, we value you as a client and hope to see you again very soon!

We are temporarily closed on Sundays during this time.

June 15, 2009   Phone Book Mislisting
     The new phone book is out and once again, we were listed under the "Tattoo Removal" catagory. Unfortunately, we do not remove tattoos, however we do rework tattoos and do awesome cover ups ;)   The other problem with the phone book this year is that our Sprinkle road shop was put in it. We have closed that location. Sorry for any inconvenience.

June 7, 2009   New Website
     We are in the process of building a brand new website! Please bare with us while it is under construction. In the mean time, you can visit us on our myspace at www.myspace.com/New_Addiction_Tattoos, or on our original website, www.NewAddictionTattoo.com.   Update: Our Website is complete! Thank you for your patience!

March 1, 2009   Sprinkle Rd
     Unfortunately we were unable to restaff our second location with workers that met the standard of New Addiction Tattoos. We have decided to combine our talents into just one shop and close down the Sprinkle shop permenently. Please visit us at our West Side location for all your tattoo and piercing needs.
