Wildfire Tattoos and Piercings are Celebrating their 13th Birthday

Wildfire tattoos and piercing celebrate 13 years of helping to keep Cape Town beautiful


Cape Town’s favourite tattoo and piercing parlour – Wildfire Tattoos & Piercing – are happily celebrating their 13th birthday (and alternative culture in general), by throwing another of their renowned live music events on 08 November 2008, featuring a fine lineup of funkin’ rockabilly and glam rock sounds in the company of Cape Town's most beautiful, bespoke, skin art.

Wildfire Tattoo & Piercing was established in 1995 by world renowned artists Simon White, Jason Macdonald and Manuela Gray, who, with the help of a brilliant team of talented ink-smiths and qualified skin fetishists, manage the two companies that today produce most of the finest tattoo art in South Africa as well as some of the most awesome piercings ever to have graced the human form.

The original Wildfire Tattoo and Piercing store was located above the iconic Purple Turtle bar on Greenmarket Square in central Cape Town.

They have since relocated with outlets in Canal Walk Shopping Mall in Century City and at 4a Buiten Street in the CBD.

Wildfire Tattoos is also a staunch and active supporter of original South African rock music, sponsoring a handful of prominent and developing musical acts.

Happy Birthday to Wildfire Tattoos and Piercings:

Date: 8 November 2008
Venue: Mercury Live & Lounge
Location: 43 de Villiers Street | Zonnebloem | Cape Town
Time: 20:00
