Pearl District Tattoo opened mid-December at 1255 NW 9th Ave., retail suite #013, in the Pinnacle building. And like most businesses around here, it's been designed specifically for this unique neighborhood. Stop by to check it out and meet owner Nate Stokes and his talented team. It's exciting to see this portion of the neighborhood develop in recent months - from Fez Studio nearby, to the new Pearl Specialty Market & Spirits around the block, we're finding more reasons to hang out on the Pearl's north end.

We hear several lucky passers-by will get the chance to earn Whole Foods gift certificates. That is... if you know what Oregon's State Fruit is. Ten 01's resident mixologist Kelley Swenson will also be on hand for the live TV segments, demonstrating how pears can be incorporated into fresh drinks or used as beautiful drink garnishes.anjou_wholeandhalf.JPG Here's the full description of Whole Foods' upcoming pear event, which takes place this Saturday, Oct. 13th from 12 - 4 p.m., only at the Pearl location:
Pear...with a Flair

At Whole Foods Market we celebrate the joy of food and what food could be more impressive than our state fruit, the pear?! With more than 370 pear growers in our state producing about 800 million pears a year, it's no wonder this juicy fruit is a fall favorite. Every department around the store will be offering a delectable pear pairing for you to sample. In addition, free pear tasting classes with Chef Steve will be offered in our Salud! Kitchen at Noon and 2:00 p.m.

Egan takes a bit of a humorous approach to his work:
“I like to take a serious subject like death and mix it up with bright colors so that it is more inviting to the viewer. The color is what draws people in, then they realize that they are looking at a skeleton throwing up blood, I love it.”
