Until further notice, we regrettably will not be offering body piercing at Utility. We will continue to stock a small selection of body jewelry (mostly basics).

NEW SHOP OPEN
still a bit of chaos about, but we're all in the new place! First client in the new spot tomorrow (NOVEMBER 2ND) fine tuning all week but WE ARE OPEN FOR BUSINESS AGAIN! 6070 QUINPOOL RD. Come stop by and check out the new shop
WE ARE MOVING!!!!!
As of the first week of November, we can be found at 6070 QUINPOOL ROAD,between blockbuster and video difference, across from St. Pat's high school (aka the old pro skate uptown spot)
After a change of ownership last year and being in the same spot for 12 straight years, it was time for another final change for utility, especially since the future of the building we are in is up in the air.
A solid new location was found and the chance to have a new fresh start was too good to pass.
This will not be the same utility you're used to.A new open concept shop will replace our individual rooms and sadly for some, we will no longer be running the gallery, at least not on the same scale. Small scale shows might be in the future and relate closely to our industry.
Have no fear though, as always there will be plenty of awesome eye candy up all around the shop, we have plenty of flash and prints from an array of tattooist and artist to show off. We'll be posting photos of our new place once it's done
Keep checking back for updates, we'll be trying to do so more often as news develops and we hope to have more guest artists come to visit us in the new space.
Until we are moved,we can still be found at the old space and can always be contacted here or by phone.
So we can get this done on time we'll be booking consults and appointments for early November.
Lots of new and fun stuff ahead of us, thanks for everyone's patience!
Mike
thanks everyone, talk to you soon!
