Crazywood Garden

Every Last Thursday of every month

Did you know that on the last Thursday of every month, there is an Artisan Market held at the Crazywood garden? Until recently, neither did I. If you have never been to the Crazywood Gallery or been in the Crazywood garden, then one of these Thursdays is the perfect opportunity to check it out. You will have the chance to view and purchase local artwork, chat with artists, and meet new friends. The entrance to the garden is on 14th street across the street from the public library.

Spotlight: FN Classy Tattoo & Body Piercing

At 335 Hwy 75 N, you'll find the classiest tattoo shop Huntsville has to offer: FN Classy. We paid a surprise visit to FN Classy a couple months ago. We loved everything about these guys: their signs, their decorations, their personalities, and their professionalism. We would also like to mention that the shop was very clean. Nothing worse than a tat shop that feels dirty.

Shana ended up getting her first tattoo ever from Jody that night. He was friendly and talked and joked around with her to make her feel super comfortable. He didn't even make fun of her tattoo choice. :P

We loved all of the awesome artwork on the walls. Jody and Jamie are excellent artists. We recommend taking a look around the shop for inspiration. FN Classy is very... well... classy, has a great atmosphere, and isn't littered with junky flash art. 

They also do body piercings, and they have a lot of nice jewelry to choose from. You can see some of it on their Facebook page (link below). Their piercing chick, Deena, was not there when we stopped by, but we have heard that she is awesome. 

If you're in the mood for a new tat or piercing, just swing by or give them a call at (936)435-9300. You can also find them on Facebook by clicking here. Tell 'em "Hey, Huntsville" sent ya!
