It’s Still Our City Ep. 20 | Katie Davis, Salvation Tattoo

“Katie left home (Maine) at 16 and moved to Richmond Virginia. She started working in a tattoo shop at age 17. A total dream job for a music and art loving minor delinquent. While apprenticing and working full time, she also attended/graduated VCU with a BFA in Fine Arts.

Fred and Katie opened Salvation Tattoo in 2004 on Pine St in Oregon Hill. Within a year, the two felt all the feels and tied the knot. Shortly thereafter, they moved the shop to where it stands now, 819 W Cary St.

Their intention has always been to show respect for the craft of tattooing, whilst giving that consideration to their clients.

“Keep our heads down, work hard and have fun! Witnessing what has been built creatively in Richmond over the years, by friends who are artists, musicians, other small business owners and community leaders has been truly amazing. I’m grateful to be a small part of it and raise our son here!”

This is a badass woman. We hit the ground running and chugged multiple darts and crushed some pizza and it just felt so natural. I think that’s because of our mutual friends within the tattoo community... it’s a wonderful tribal mentality.

Join us as we discuss catching rides to work on a motorcycle when you’re still in highschool, overcoming self doubt and having the courage to fight through for the bigger and better, ASMR and a pizza that’s potentially laced with vinaigrette and Mom’s blowing their gasket when they noticed our first tattoos.

Hope everyone is doing as good as they can in our current climate. This is a strong woman and hopefully me putting my foot in my mouth constantly and her sharing her journey can give y’all some sort of solace, amidst the absolute nonsense that’s currently rising to the top.” — host, Harrison Christy

Congrats, dudes!

The first time I shopped at Deep Groove and encountered Jay, I knew this man was an OG and a music history wizard.Every time I cross paths w him, at his job or mine, it's always such an honor/pleasure. This fella is a very cool cat and a total sweetheart. I'm so thankfulClair and I were gifted the opportunity to sit and pick this man's brain.

Record Store Day is this weekend and this amazing store is all stocked up and ready to facilitate the goods, so definitely go support a local small business and grab you something fancy. Awesome shop w a really wonderful staff.

Join us as we discuss his bountiful path to Richmond Virginia, arguing with corpo scum at a part time and realizing that there's many better options in life, me slipping on ice and sliding down Franklin Street to discover frozen dog poop and just how absolutely fuckin important music is...in so many ways.

Everything is batshit crazy in the world right now. I hope this interview can be a gift to you all that can temporarily take your mind off things. We gotta keep our heads up.

Episode 20 of It's Still Our City: Katie Davis- Salvation Tattoo

Katie left home (Maine) at 16 and moved to Richmond Virginia. She started working in a tattoo shop at age 17. A total dream job for a music and art loving minor delinquent. While apprenticing and working full time, she also attended/graduatedVCU with a BFA in Fine Arts.
Fred and Katie opened Salvation Tattoo in 2004 on Pine St in Oregon Hill.Within a year, the two felt all the feels and tied the knot. Shortly thereafter, they moved the shop to where it stands now, 819 W Cary St.
Theirintention has always been to show respect for the craft of tattooing, whilstgiving that consideration to their clients.

"Keep our heads down, work hard and have fun!
Witnessing what has been built creatively in Richmond over the years, by friends who are artists, musicians, other small business owners and community leaders has been truly amazing. I’m grateful to be a small part of it and raise our son here!"

This is a badass woman. We hit the ground running and chugged multiple darts and crushed some pizza and it just felt so natural. I think that's because of our mutual friends within the tattoo community... it's a wonderful tribal mentality.

Join us as we discuss catching rides to work on a motorcycle when you're still in highschool, overcoming self doubt and having the courage to fight through for the bigger and better, ASMR and a pizza that's potentially laced with vinaigrette and Mom's blowing their gasket when they noticed our first tattoos.

Hope everyone is doing as good as they can in our current climate. This is a strong woman and hopefully me putting my foot in my mouth constantly and her sharing her journey can give y'all some sort of solace, amidst the absolute nonsense that's currently rising to the top.

Episode 20 of It's Still Our City: Katie Davis- Salvation Tattoo

Katie left home (Maine) at 16 and moved to Richmond Virginia. She started working in a tattoo shop at age 17. A total dream job for a music and art loving minor delinquent. While apprenticing and working full time, she also attended/graduatedVCU with a BFA in Fine Arts.
Fred and Katie opened Salvation Tattoo in 2004 on Pine St in Oregon Hill.Within a year, the two felt all the feels and tied the knot. Shortly thereafter, they moved the shop to where it stands now, 819 W Cary St.
Theirintention has always been to show respect for the craft of tattooing, whilstgiving that consideration to their clients.

"Keep our heads down, work hard and have fun!
Witnessing what has been built creatively in Richmond over the years, by friends who are artists, musicians, other small business owners and community leaders has been truly amazing. I’m grateful to be a small part of it and raise our son here!"

This is a badass woman. We hit the ground running and chugged multiple darts and crushed some pizza and it just felt so natural. I think that's because of our mutual friends within the tattoo community... it's a wonderful tribal mentality.

Join us as we discuss catching rides to work on a motorcycle when you're still in highschool, overcoming self doubt and having the courage to fight through for the bigger and better, ASMR and a pizza that's potentially laced with vinaigrette and Mom's blowing their gasket when they noticed our first tattoos.

Hope everyone is doing as good as they can in our current climate. This is a strong woman and hopefully me putting my foot in my mouth constantly and her sharing her journey can give y'all some sort of solace, amidst the absolute nonsense that's currently rising to the top.

Cheers,
H

It’s Still Our City Ep. 18 | Lauren Healy Flora of Blue Bones Vintage

Editor’s Note: This came out a few months ago. We are late on posting. Apologies.

“Local small business owner, Lauren Healy Flora, owner of Blue Bones Vintage for the past eleven years has a degree in fashion design and a background in art/wardrobe/props for production. She’s an established staple in our Richmond community and a badass mother and mentor. She’s got your back. SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESS!

This one was super fun for Clair and I… hopefully Lauren as well. It’s like a tour of a scientist’s bedroom… I urge people that follow the podcast to recommend guests for our show. This is what this whole thing is about. That being said, this is a wonderful person that alot of people wanted on/suggested and I’m very thankful for that and super stoked she accepted. An absolute pleasure.

Join us as we discuss ripping pisses, surviving kitty warzones, Clair’s obsession with The Spice Girls and the absolutely amazing feeling when you find a wizard cadaver on a stick in the trash.” — host, Harrison Christy

Episode 19 of It's Still Our City: Justin Golden

With roots in the Mississippi Delta, Chicago, and the Piedmont of Virginia, now Richmond-based guitarist and songwriter Justin Golden’s origins are deeply vested in the blues. First picking up the guitar at age 19, Golden did what came naturally and let the music flow through him. With an extremely diverse musical palette, Golden aims to bring some new ideas to traditional blues forms. In addition to his work as a recording and performing artist, Golden maintains a busy teaching schedule and works with the non-profit The Rhapsody Project to provide community enrichment through cultural heritage programs.

This man is a BEAST
In early 2025, Justin was diagnosed with an extremely rare stage 4 cancer. This man is kicking it's ass and is still juggling all of the amazing things he's capable of doing.

Join us as we discuss killing it on the mat's in a singlet, Justin telling the Grim Reaper to go fuck himself, Clair's adolescent decision to play music instead of going pro in the NFL andhow absolutely horny the band AIR SUPPLY is.

Justin has a rad matinee show this Saturday 1/17/26 at the Camel. Try to scope it out if you can.
More importantly, scope out his GoFundMe and help this wonderful fella out.

I truly hope everyone is keeping their heads up as best as possible.
