Read the interview below to learn about Zach’s vision for Dema, a place for art, conversation, and connection in Phoenixville.

Grand Opening: Sunday, February 15th, starting at 4 PM

Where: 59 North Main Street, Phoenixville, PA 19460

What is Dema?

Dema (/ˈdeɪ.mə/) is a space for fine art and a contemporary tattoo studio located at 59 North Main Street in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania. It’s designed as a gallery-forward space where tattooing and fine art exist side by side.

What are you hoping Dema brings to the Phoenixville art community?

My hope is that Dema introduces a new way of experiencing tattooing within an art-driven environment. It’s a space where people can receive incredibly unique and intentional tattoos from myself and other internationally and nationally recognized guest artists, while also serving as a hub for gallery shows, art events, and creative gatherings. At its core, Dema is about building community and creating a place where art, conversation, and connection can grow together.

When can people check it out?

The official grand opening is Sunday, February 15th, starting at 4 PM. We’ll have a lot happening, including chances to win a full-day tattoo session with me, merch giveaways, and plenty of opportunities to experience the space, meet people from the community, and celebrate together.
