!!BIGHORN TATTOO HAS MOVED!!

In case you missed the news, Bighorn Tattoo has relocated to a 100-year-old historic landmark building located in the heart of Ten Sleep, Wyoming. It's right across the street from where it used to be. The entrance is located in the rear of the building and is considered a private access: therefore, all appointments / consultations must be made ahead of time, as I can no longer cater to walk-ins. So don't hesitate to call! I'm easier to get a hold of than you might think. Additionally, you should never worry over whether I am 'too busy' for your tattoo. I will always accomodate your needs into my schedule.

The relocation has also brought immense improvements to my business: not only is the building itself cool and authentic and appealing and completely complimentary to my artsy fartsy needs, but I have upgraded my equipment and have streamlined the comfortable setting that Bighorn Tattoo is most celebrated for.

So come see it!

I have added a handful of new material to the Tattoo Gallery: please browse and enjoy what I have to offer so far: Dio De Los Muertos sleeve in progress, Max's tribute, Lexi's Parchment, the beginning of Dante's massive raven tree, and new work on the Harvest Goddess and Mona's Family Tree.

Sincerely,
Sarah Frary, Bighorn Tattoo (307) 272-9988

Exclusive Features of Bighorn Tattoo

Newspaper article from February 2011, published in the Worland newspaper. Written by Bob Vines with photos by Matt Unrau. Thanks, fellas! The interview was a blast!

The Tattoos at Bighorn Tattoo are custom, one-of-a-kind works of skin art. Each design is either pre-drawn or free-handed on the body specifically for each individual client. The Artist stands strongly by the motto 'Think Before You Ink' -- and no client leaves the studio without being completely satisfied with their artwork. The Art of Tattoo is a ritualized Rite of Passage, preceding back to our own primordial origins; it is about the connection, between both the artist and her client, as well as the sentimentality attached to the artwork; the fundamental, spiritual, and emotional definitions, and the strength of the tattoo's deliberate communication.

The Studio is located in the heart of Ten Sleep; a tiny western town nestled at the base of the Bighorn Mountain range in the state of Wyoming. The building is a historic landmark, celebrating over a hundred years of multiple reincarnations and enhancments. The uniquely old-western space that is home to Bighorn Tattoo doubles as Sarah's Art studio as well as her personal residence, the two remaining comfortably separate while still creating a unique and eccentric experience unlike any other.

The Artist began her endeavors in tattooing in August of 2009 in Kentucky, where she apprenticed at a reputable shop under a phenomenal mentor. Her skills were thus honed in a professional environment, in a shop that also catered to custom artwork, and Sarah Frary thrived in her new skills with the tattoo machine. When a unique and fortuitous opportunity presented itself for Sarah to relocate to Wyoming, she leapt at the chance, assuming that her tattoo career would be put on hold. However, her love for Wyoming, which first bloomed when she was a child, and then her sudden love for Ten Sleep upon her arrival, encouraged her to remain. Fueled by her rural surroundings, she chose to open the private studio on an instinctive whim; attracting a handful of clients from all over the country to a unique area that she calls home. When not tattooing, she enjoys romping in the hills, dancing wildly at the local saloon, or pursuing her many other artistic projects. She strongly dislikes the internet, so you will not find her on Myspace or Facebook. Instead, she has a variety of other sites to explore . . .
