New Tattoo Studio Opens and Handmade Jewels Abound The gothic glow of Gulfport Boulevard’s only private tattoo studio raises more questions than answers for those passing the shop at 5125 22nd Ave. S. The sole signage for Nocturnal Studio and Gallery a neon purple and glows in the shape of “Nocturnal.” The LED doesn’t offer much information – and according to artist and owner Ande Spade, it’s not supposed to. “We don’t have people coming in and out of the door; it’s strictly a private space, that’s why we don’t have an ‘open’ sign in the window,” Spade said. “Most of my clients don’t like the regular environment of shops. Quite frankly, it can be annoying.” Spade, a Philadelphia-native, has been a tattoo artist for 25 years, most recently at Fredo Ink & Co. on 4th St. S. before opening his space in April of this year.
