Tattooed Tree Books held a grand opening Saturday in Fort Atkinson, Wis., the Daily Jefferson County Union reported.
Located at 122 N. Main St., Tattooed Tree Books sells new and used titles for all ages and shares space with Chroma Art Studio. In addition to books, the store sells bookmarks, book lights, and other bookish gifts and accessories.
Owner Dena Tullis helped open the store, which began as a pop-up, with a successful Kickstarter campaign that brought in $13,314 on a $12,500 goal. The grand opening celebration drew a large and enthusiastic crowd, and festivities included a signing with a local author and a performance by a local musician. Visitors were also able to decorate the walls with sticky notes.
"We know we couldn't do it without our community, and, thank you for showing up early in the morning," Tullis told visitors during the celebration on Saturday.
Per the Union, Tattooed Tree Books is the first bookstore to open in Fort Atkinson for nearly a decade.
