Ivory Tower Tattoo

05/01/2026

To our loyal clients, friends, and the Bulloch County community,

After 30 incredible years, the time has come to close the doors of Ivory Tower Tattoo.

This decision has not come easily. What began as a vision all those years ago grew into something far greater than I could have imagined—thanks entirely to each of you. Your trust, your stories, your support, and your loyalty are what built this shop into what it became.

When I first came to Bulloch County, the tattoo industry looked very different than it does today. There were few guidelines, little structure, and a lot of uncertainty. I was honored to work alongside the local health department to help establish the safety standards and procedures that are now the foundation of the industry here. Being a part of that early growth and helping legitimize tattooing in this community has been one of the proudest accomplishments of my life.

Over the years, tattooing has taken me far beyond these walls. I’ve had the privilege of competing in and winning numerous tattoo competitions, attending conventions across the country, and even tattooing some well-known faces. But no accolade or recognition has ever meant as much as the relationships built right here at home—with each of you who walked through our doors.

Ivory Tower Tattoo has never just been a shop. It has been a place of expression, connection, and community. Watching generations of clients return, bring their families, and trust us with their stories has been an honor I will always carry with me.

To everyone who has ever supported us—whether you got a tattoo, referred a friend, or simply believed in what we were doing—thank you. You made this journey worthwhile.

And to all of the talented artists and piercers who have been part of Ivory Tower Tattoo over the years, I wish you nothing but success and fulfillment in your future endeavors. You each played a role in shaping what this shop became, and I am grateful for every one of you.

Though this chapter is coming to a close, the memories, the art, and the impact will live on.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Ross Craven
Owner, Ivory Tower Tattoo

Edit: I will be piercing until Friday at Ivory.

As many of you know, a series of unforeseen events has led to the studio's closure. Thirty years of operation is a notable achievement. The studio was established by my father with an initial investment of $500 and went on to become a thriving creative hub for 30 years, supporting artists in their professional development. I've had the privilege of watching the studio grow and have benefited greatly from the experience, which played a significant role in shaping me into the piercer I am today. It has been a true honor to call Ivory Tower my work home. It breaks my heart to close the doors but I'm not done piercing! The biggest thank you to my dad ross not only for what he's done for me but others too. He is definitely an OG.

I'm happy to continue to be able to service my valued clientele at a separate location that y'all already know and love!

Details coming soon!

Expect great things from me as I am feeling very hopeful and excited about this change.

This isn't a failure it's a huge success story, with a sad unfaithful ending.
