After serving the Harrisonburg, Virginia community for over two decades, Alley Cat Tattoo has relocated to a new, larger location, marking a significant chapter for the beloved local business. Established in 2001 at 990 Reservoir St., Alley Cat Tattoo has moved just a short distance up the road to 220 Reservoir St., promising an enhanced experience for both artists and clients.
The move to the new building, previously occupied by Wampler & Associates Rehabilitation for 30 years, represents a substantial upgrade for Alley Cat Tattoo. Owner Nick Swartz highlighted the serendipitous nature of the move, noting the former tenant’s crucial support in securing the space and facilitating the transition. This collaboration underscores the strong community ties that Alley Cat Tattoo has cultivated over its 23-year history.
The new location boasts an additional 1,000 square feet, a significant expansion that allows Alley Cat Tattoo to elevate its services and offerings. One of the most immediate benefits is the vastly increased parking space, addressing a previous constraint and making visits more convenient for clients coming from Harrisonburg and surrounding areas like Bridgewater, Elkton, McGaheysville, and New Market. Swartz emphasized the importance of community support in the shop’s longevity, expressing gratitude to patrons who have contributed to Alley Cat Tattoo’s success over the years. He warmly welcomes both long-time clients and new faces to experience the upgraded studio.
With six experienced tattoo artists on staff, Alley Cat Tattoo is well-equipped to accommodate walk-in clients daily, ensuring accessibility and flexibility for those seeking spontaneous ink. The shop maintains consistent operating hours, open Monday through Saturday from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m., and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 7 p.m. For individuals interested in scheduling appointments or exploring their tattoo options, Alley Cat Tattoo encourages engagement through their active presence on social media platforms. Prospective clients can find inspiration and connect with the studio via their Facebook page and Instagram.
