Waverly, IA – The Waverly Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors recently held a ribbon cutting for two businesses in Waverly, presenting one new business with a First Dollar Award and two existing businesses with Progress Awards.
The Ambassadors met with owner Kim Bryan of Ace High Tattoo to hold a ribbon cutting and First Dollar Award presentation to celebrate the opening of her new tattoo studio space located at 96 E Bremer Ave. Ace High Tattoo was formerly located in Waterloo Iowa, and garnered praise for its clean environment, professional staff, and exceptional artistry. Clients frequently highlighted the team's ability to transform personal ideas into custom tattoo designs. Kim relocated the business to Waverly in early May of 2025, allowing her to live closer to the studio and be more flexible with client appointments. Ace High Tattoo is currently appointment only and is not accepting walk in clients. For more information on Ace High Tattoo, visit their Facebook page.
