Tattoo flash 5 - that's a wrap!
Hello and welcome to the Balloon Ace tattoo studio.
Check out this month's tattoo flash for some Balloon Ace inspired ink!
That's a wrap!
So that's it, the end of 2024! Whether you have had a great time or a not so great time over the preceding year you have made it through.
As we enter a new year here at Balloon Ace we would like to thank everyone who has supported us either by purchasing balloons from our store, following our social media accounts or reading these blogs. We seriously couldn't and wouldn't do what we do without all of you.
This blog will be short and sweet. As with many people the holiday period is busy for us and life catches up which squeezes our time a little!
Here at Balloon Ace 2024 has been mixed bag! Like most small businesses we are battling in an environment where the cost of living is impacting people's wallets, we have seen a few well loved balloons become unavailable and some major balloon manufacturers cease trading. On December 13, the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR 2023) came into effect for the shipping of all products within the European Union. The implementation of this law has required a huge amount of compliance measures for retailers who wish to sell to customers within the European Union to abide by.
It almost seems that the world is becoming anti-small business as harsher trading conditions and more red tape is thrust upon us. However, here at Balloon Ace we will endure and continue to be the best balloon shop that we can be.
We are happy to say that we are now GPSR 2023 compliant. If, for whatever reason, you decide to purchase your new balloons from a retailer other than Balloon Ace for your safety make sure that they are as serious about balloon safety as we are. Your safety is paramount!
So what does 2025 hold for Balloon Ace you may be wondering!
Since 2019 we have always tried to be different and as we approach our sixth year we are as committed as we have ever been to being different.
In 2025 you will see new collab balloons (no other balloon seller has done more collaborations than us), new balloon prints, new balloon saver packs, more blogs, more special features and more new balloons. We will provide this all with the same great low prices, super-fast delivery and rewards that are part of our ethos. We will be more punk rock than ever and more anti-mainstream than ever as we progress through 2025. Our aim is to be nothing like any other balloon shop and your favourite balloon seller.
Until next month
Next month our plans are to include the following:
- More balloon related tattoo flash
- More balloon related factoids
- More musings from the team behind Balloon Ace
As always, we welcome everyone to participate and get involved at Balloon Ace. We exclude nobody!
As a reminder keep sending your photos with Balloon Ace balloons so that we can feature them on our BAT Punks Instagram.
Pump some punk rock into your balloons!
We are Balloon Ace!
Thanks
Nicky & Glen
