Wantfull Things Tattoos & Cultural Artifacts
Birmingham, AL
A Birmingham tattoo studio and punk-rock thrift shop where bones, vintage finds, original art, pins, stickers, statues, oddities, and alternative-culture artifacts share the room with tattooing.
Run by local artists and tattoo artists, Wantfull Things combines tattooing with thrift, vintage goods, oddities, punk and ska culture, original artwork, small collectibles, and deliberately strange objects.
Field notes
Why it belongs
Part tattoo studio, part thrift store, part artist space, and part oddities shop, with enough punk-rock clutter to resist a normal retail label.
Customers can browse bones, vintage goods, artwork, pins, stickers, painted objects, and alternative-culture pieces in the same storefront where tattoos are made.
Wantfull Things grew from Birmingham's local alternative-art scene and artists associated with the former Birmingham Oddities. The Five Points South shop combines tattooing with a punk-rock thrift operation stocked with vintage material, bones and oddities, original artwork, prints, small collectibles, and other unusual cultural artifacts.
