FORT LIBERTY — Fort Liberty’s first-ever tattoo studio is now open on post.
The studio, the ninth American Tattoo Society studio on a U.S. military installation, is open on Fort Liberty from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week.
“It’s wild and awesome to be at our home, Fort Liberty, which is the largest Army (post),” Harrell said Wednesday.
Since July 4, 2014, Harrell and his wife, Nicole, have owned the American Tattoo Society studio located just shy of two miles from Fort Liberty’s Yadkin Road gate.
They also organize the annual All-American Tattoo Convention, which has been held in Fayetteville since 2016.
Harrell said he and his wife, who are Fayetteville natives, have family members who’ve served in the military and have strived to have a business that supports those who serve.
“They pay our bills, so we try to do everything we can to give back and wanted them to have a safe place they can get a tattoo,” he said.
Fayetteville business becomes military vendor
Several years ago, when Harrell worked as an online advertising consultant with then Fort Bragg’s Directorate of Family, Morale, Welfare and Recreation, an old client mentioned they heard a tattoo studio was opening on post, he said.
