Guild Chronicle: Six Months of Arcane
Greetings, Guild members, adventurers, artists, gamers, movie buffs, and curious wanderers!
Six months ago, in January 2026, Arcane Tattoo Guild opened its doors with a simple idea: create more than a tattoo shop. We wanted a guild hall. A creative refuge where people could gather to make art, share ideas, play games, tell stories, and leave with something meaningful.
Since then, we've spent nearly every day building that dream. Every tattoo, every painting, every print, every late-night idea session, and every conversation has helped shape what Arcane Tattoo Guild is becoming. We're proud of how far we've come, but it still feels like the beginning of the adventure.
⚔️ A New Guild Member
Our ranks have grown!
We're excited to welcome Spencer Moffat to the Guild. Spencer creates bold, traditional-inspired tattoos with influences from folk art and woodblock prints. He's full of stories, creative ideas, and a contagious passion for tattooing.
He's also brought a tattoo gumball machine and a dice game to the shop, making it easy to embrace a little spontaneity. Sometimes the best tattoos begin with a roll of the dice.
🎨 Handmade by Humans
We've been expanding our online shop with prints, artwork, and handmade goods.
Adam has been carving block prints and hand-printing small batches of T-shirts himself. Every shirt is made with care—not mass-produced—because we believe artwork should still feel personal.
As always, we're creating new paintings, prints, stickers, and other projects whenever inspiration strikes.
🎲 Life Around the Guild Table
One of our favorite additions has been Guild Game Night, held on the last Friday of every month.
We've battled through board games, explored Adam's homemade game, played Carcassonne, jumped into multiplayer games on Switch and Xbox, and enjoyed spending time with creative people.
Arcane isn't just about tattoos. It's about building a community around creativity, laughter, and shared hobbies.
🌎 Looking Toward Bigger Adventures
We haven't made it to tattoo conventions just yet, but they're definitely on our radar.
We're also looking for more ways to become involved in our community. If you're part of a local sports team, bowling league, gaming club, festival, charity event, or community organization looking for sponsors or creative partners, we'd love to hear from you.
Building relationships is just as important to us as creating great tattoos.
🛡️ Support the Guild
If you've enjoyed watching Arcane grow and would like to help us continue building something special, we've added a donation page to our website.
Donations help us:
Invest in better equipment.
Fund new art projects.
Improve the shop.
Create more events.

Continue making Arcane Tattoo Guild a place where creativity thrives.
There are no memberships or exclusive rewards—just the knowledge that you're helping a small, independent, artist-owned studio continue to grow.
✨ The Adventure Continues
Now it's time for us to get back to work. Tattoo designs are waiting to be drawn, paintings begging to be finished, and probably another ridiculous idea waiting to become reality.
Whether you're stopping in for your first tattoo, your tenth, Game Night, or to say hello, we'd love to see you.
Thank you for every appointment, every print you've purchased, every game you've played with us, every recommendation you've made, and every kind word you've shared over these first six months.
The Guild is only getting started.
We'll see you on your next adventure.
