Happy New Year!
Okay, so I lied... We need to wait for a few things, one of them being really important, so we can't open yet. : ( We are shooting/hoping for the next week, though. We will post as soon as we find out when we can open. Hang tight! Our new # there will be 808-742-8888, and should be operating in a few days.

Holy late news update batman! Hope everyone enjoyed he holiday. The Koloa shop is coming along. We will be open there on the 1st of January 2010. Woohoo! Way to start the new year. We can't wait to open our doors there for all of you. : ) As far as our current shop goes, we have Arthur, Beau and Emily holding down the fort for us while we prepare everything for the new shop. We'll be closed the last few days of the month so we can move all of our stuff from Hanapepe over to Koloa, so bear with us..!

Big news! We have been planning and hoping for this for a while now, but it's because of you guys and your continuing support that we are now able to! Thank you! Some of you already know about it. For everyone else: what am I yapping about? Well, come the beginning of December, we will be in our new location, Old Koloa Town!! We are lucky to have people from all over the island come & see us, so, soon we will be in a much more central location (and new shop hours will be 9am - 9pm, 7 days a week!). It was great being on the west side -- we will miss seeing all the familiar friendly faces and ono grinds. We hope you all will come and visit us on the south side!

Halloween is near! And what better thing to do than get dressed up for a Halloween contest and win some cool prizes, among which are gift certificates for tattoos or piercings at Farsyde!
This Saturday night -- Cafe Portofino!
10-21-09:
What are you doing this Friday? Come chill with us, have a few drinks, and dance to the sick breakbeats of the UK's FreQ Nasty!
FreQ Nasty has played at various large events and festivals, including Burning Man. So why sit on your couch when you can grab a few friends, listen to some good music and have a blast with us! Hope to see you all there!
PS- attendees will get a special piercing coupon!

Our buy 1 get 1 free piercing promo is no more, but thank you to everyone who came out to take advantage of such a rare event! Julian went back to California knowing that his trip was successful in providing me with his knowledge and expertise as a professional piercer.
I will be posting piercing prices shortly, as well as a more specific "piercing" page, and photos from the two week event. Check back soon!

Tattoo artist Emily has a shop e-mail! Yay! Break in her new by spamming her with lots of love. (NO FORWARDS. She probably won't like you very much if you send those...) : )
You can now e-mail her at em@farsydetattoo.com!

08-18-09:
Welcome new tattoo artist, Emily! Stop by, get your tattoo, bring her cookies. We like cookies--I mean, she likes cookies.. Chocolate chip cookies. Mmm..
07-26-09:
Beau is coming back home tomorrow! After his 10-year-long trip around the universe. Or was it the west coast..? I can't remember. Anyway, he'll be back at the shop on the 28th. : )
07-14-09:
We will be here this Saturday, the 18th, closed Sunday, then back on Monday the 20th. We will then be closed on Friday & Saturday, the 24th & 25th (but will be here on Sunday and Monday, the 26th & 27th).. And then Beau will be back! So from that point on, we will be open 7 days a week. If that didn't confuse you, go watch the new Street Fighter/Chun Li movie.
On another note, if you plan on getting a tattoo: please, please, PLEASE try to call in advance and make an appointment. We are currently not able to take walk-ins or last minute appointments. It doesn't hurt to try, but just warning ya.. Right now, Jarod is the only artist in the shop (until Beau gets back at the end of the month. Thank you for coming out, Arthur!) and is completely booked out a month... And we hate having to turn people away. Mahalo!
07-10-09:
Firstly, we will be here on Monday, the 13th.
Piercings... We have had a LOT of people inquire about getting pierced lately. Unfortunately, we won't have a piercer in house until September... I know we told a lot of you to check back with us in August, but now it won't be 'til September that the talented Julian Ganesha will be here to do some piercings and mentor Kelsy as a piercer! Sorry about the change in plans, but thanks for the patience.
Who's this Julian character? Then you must have missed him the last time he was here. He's an awesome professional piercer from California who has put thousands of holes in people for 15 years. W3rd.
07-02-09:
Farsyde will be CLOSED on Saturday, July 4th! Have a great holiday weekend! We'll be open again on Monday, the 6th.
06-30-09:
The last day of the month! If some of you have noticed, our business hours have been a little skewed lately. Mostly on Sundays ad Mondays. I know we said we're open 7 days a week a few months ago, but things have been slightly inconsistent this month due to several reasons. HOWEVER, we are DEFINITELY here Tuesdays thru Saturdays (11am - sunset)... until further notice! If you are thinking about getting a tattoo on Sunday or Monday, at least call us and check to see if we'll be in on that day first.
06-25-09:
Arthur Griffen-Noyes is back on the island and will be tattooing here 'til July 9th-ish.
Pym is also back in the shop (since the 16th), but will only be here til Saturday, the 27th.
So... Come on in and get your ink!
Please call the shop (808-335-2465) or stop by to book an appointment with Pym or Arthur.

Sam Shaw will be moving to Texas, to be closer to his daughters, in about 6 months. That means you have about that time to get your tattoo by him.

more temporary)

around for the grown-ups)

occasions.

We are one of the sponsors for the Fiji concert on Sunday, September 28th @ the Kilohana Plantation in Lihue. Be there or be square! (Yeah, I know, that was lame.)
