American Tattoo Society announces two promotions as they expand across the US.

Fayetteville, NC (July 12, 2021) – American Tattoo Society (ATS) who were selected to open tattoo studios on MIlitary bases around the world announced today that it has promoted two team members into new roles to help accommodate their explosive growth. “Angi and Kerstin were already integral to our success and we know the new roles they are filling will only help us push ATS forward as we expand rapidly,” says Ryan Harrell, who along with his wife Nicole Harrell, own American Tattoo Society & the All American Tattoo Conventions.

Kerstin’s new role will help ATS manage the large number of new artists who have joined ATS in house and those who have joined as guests or members of the ATS travel team. Kerstin has been with ATS for four years and has managed locations temporarily in the past.
