A huge thank you to our friends over at Ethereal Tattoo Gallery for sponsoring our June and July Foster Photo Days!

Ethereal Tattoo Gallery is one of the most established tattoo studios in Durham, with over seven years in business and deep roots in the local creative community. Known for a strong emphasis on fine art and technical excellence, the studio specializes in realism, fine line, illustrative work, and portraiture. Owner and senior artist Brian Parrillo is especially known for his realistic portraits, including pet portraits. Brian’s fine art background and training in oil painting portraiture translates to portrait tattoos which capture likeness, personality, and realistic texture.

Ethereal operates as a deliberately art-focused and photography-conscious tattoo studio. The shop values how artwork is documented and preserved. That philosophy drew Ethereal to align with Five Freedoms Photography, whose work reflects the same respect for craft, subject, and storytelling—and also a love for animals and animal rescue!

If you have a foster that needs a bit more marketing and a photo refresh, then this is the perfect opportunity for you!

We offer complimentary 20-minute photo session to fosters from various rescues across the Triangle.

From the session, your foster will receive 5-10 high-quality digital images for use on their online profile and for marketing on social media.

All we ask in return is for lots of sloppy kisses and snuggles (and to be credited on social media where possible!).

PLEASE NOTE BEFORE REGISTERING: We give priority to long term fosters, fosters with medical or behavioral needs, seniors, and only-pet fosters.
