Black Spot Tattoo Company in Lufkin Has Permanently Closed

July 17th was National Tattoo Day. You might remember the post that we put up about it, where we listed tattoo shops around Deep East Texas. Over the weekend, that list changed, and we lost one of our Deep East Texas shops permanently.

Black Spot Tattoo Company is Permanently Closed

Lots of you are familiar with Black Spot Tattoo Company. It is - or was - located at 302 Mantooth Avene in Lufkin. They were known for their traditional, hand-poked tattoos. They've been doing artwork for people since 2014. Well, after 12 years doing that, Black Spot Tattoo Company is permanently closed.

The announcement took me by surprise. A post came across my timeline informing me that Black Spot Tattoo Company had updated their cover photo. It wasn't even a photo. It was just a black background with white lettering that simply said this: Black Spot Tattoo Company Permanently Closed.

At first, I thought it must be a joke. However, the option for commenting on that post was turned off, meaning I couldn't get any insight that way. So, I went to the BlackSpotTattooCompany Instagram page. At the top of the page, it said, "Permanently Closed. Thank you for your support over the years."

The last place I checked was the final piece that made me realize that this wasn't a joke. I Googled Black Spot Tattoo Company. There on the results page it's listed as "Permanently Closed".

However, if you're looking for somewhere to get ink, we still have lots of other options. You can see those options below:
