About

HOWL Gallery/Tattoo is a tattoo shop, music venue and art publisher in Fort Myers, Florida created by business partners Andy Howl and Alainna Zwiernik. Our current space is roughly 3,500 sq/ft.

HOWL officially opened in March of 2009 in downtown Fort Myers after 6 months of construction. Co-owner Andy Howl was the original co-founder of Fort Myers Art Walk and founder of the Fort Myers Music Walk events that helped re-invograte the historic district. In May of 2013 we moved to a larger space across from the Edison Mall on Cleveland Ave. (US41 - Tamiami Trail) next door to Brents Music in the old Miracle Plaza. The new shop features a large parking lot and double the space as the original downtown location.
