Artist AJ Kappes has opened his shop, Burial Tattoo, at 724 Indiana, right next to Maniac’s Mansion, in the former home of the 724 Club.
As a newcomer to Wichita Falls, I was unaware of Burial Tattoo’s status as a former music venue until I saw a comment from Bowling for Soup’s Jaret Reddick on Instagram talking about great memories in this place.
As a tattoo studio, the first thing that struck me when I walked in is the size of the place. Burial Tattoo is a big shop, with a lounge space in the back that looks like it would be great for some intimate live performances.
AJ told me his wheelhouse is horror and dark subject matter, and I saw an undead design he did that was pretty cool. As a fan of horror who’s been wanting to get a Jason Voorhees tat, I think I might be going back to see AJ soon.
Burial Tattoo joins Factory City among the ranks of new tattoo studios downtown (and I’m told Factory City is now officially open), each with their own distinct style. And last time I asked, AJ and his artists at Burial Tattoo had some availability, so if you’re looking to get some ink, check-in with Burial Tattoo at (940) 228-7061 or visit their Facebook page.
