“Man who stand on hill with mouth open will wait long time for roast duck to drop in” – Confucius
In the Southern Hemisphere at the bottom of Africa there is a boutique tattoo store called Jaded Ink, located in the same city what is known as the financial hub of the African continent. This boutique store is operated by proud, committed, honest, talented and happy people offering service par excellence, sure we tend to f**k around sometimes but what is life without the giggles…after 8 years working internationally Jaded Ink was born at the end of 2008 after the collaboration of 2 minds… the artist and the entrepreneur. 
“So like I walked into their shop…” The Jaded Ink store is fresh, clean, upmarket and trendy with great space, good colours and a warm atmosphere. Hygiene is very important but one can’t help feeling relaxed and welcome any time of the day. What is obvious…Red White and Black is the brand, used carefully brings all clients great eye candy when visiting for the first time or the hundredth. Glass tattoo booths, a waiting area, consulting room, gallery table and airbrush booth offers clients a lot of activity in store during off peak and peak times normally Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
“Sheesh they are so friendly…!” Customer relations, apparently, is pretty important to a good business model…So we hear and so we do…An extended hand, a smile, good introduction and a “How can we help you” is pretty much your very first experience. If it isn’t by Jade (Co-owner and principal artist) then it is by our “junior tattoo artist” called Kylie / Skye. Our new "apprentice in training" Leigh is firing on all 6 cylinders.There is another guy that pops in every now and then…but he is generally too busy on the other aspects of the business than the shop operation to stay for too long…
“Dude, have you heard of this JIG?” A platform to communicate, interact and bring together all our loved clients, friends and family that have an interest in art, body art and good music (South African generally). The JIG is the Jaded Ink Gateway and is a portal where an individual is able to login and create a portfolio about them selves as well as interact with other similar individuals on a social only level. The JIG also provides streaming music (Where would we get the music from…well Jaded Ink officially sponsors One Day Remains, Urban Reign and Japan and I), provide streaming video (Yes you too can now watch the store cam and see what is happening online…of course Jaded Ink will also start streaming samples of the Jaded Ink media production coming soon…) and an event calendar relating to exclusive Jaded Ink and partner events. Jaded Ink loves their clients and has elected to bring the JIG to everyone at no cost to the member. So pull in, chill and click through our site and have a good time. Hope to see you in store for a “Consult, Ink or Airbrush…” Jaded Ink Crew |
