Tattoo artist finds home on Main Street
ELLSWORTH After a year-long absence, the buzz is back on Main Street.
A spirit of renewal is in the air. Empty storefronts bustle with activity. Artful window displays are going up on both sides of the street.
Born and raised in Ellsworth, Jaime Parent is part of the post-pandemic recharge and new beginnings happening in the city’s historic shopping district.
The tattoo artist has departed State Street and taken up residence fittingly under the stylish Luchini Building’s pink arches at 112 Main St. Across the street, a whirlwind of activity has been taking place at 97 Main, where Poppy & Polka Dot maven Amanda Beals has moved from farther down the street.
DANVILLE, Va. â City officials and loyal customers gathered on Bridge Street on Thursday to welcome Blue Moon Tattoo and Body Piercing to the River District with a ribbon cutting.
Jessica South, who has been tattooing for 23 years, moved her shop from South Boston Highway in Ringgold to 401 Bridge Street after seventeen years at the location.Â
She chose her new home in the River District after seeing how much the area had to offer.
âI came down and looked at the space and fell in love,â South said. âEveryone in the River District is kind and inviting, and thereâs so much fun stuff to do that people donât even realize is here.â
