Sometimes I look at this place and think about everything it’s given me. And everything it’s taken to keep it alive.

Its is so much more than a tattoo shop to me. It’s a dream I chased when nothing was guaranteed. It’s years of hard work, missed moments, sleepless nights, financial struggles, sacrifices, and putting everything I had into something I believed in.

People see the shop, the tattoos, the artwork, the good times. What they don’t always see is what it takes behind the scenes. The weight of keeping the doors open, the responsibility, the stress, and the personal sacrifices that never really stop.

I’ve given a lot of my life to tattooing. Sometimes more than I probably should have. I’ve missed things I can’t get back. Recently last few years missing being at kid events with my son .I’ve questioned myself, I’ve been exhausted, and there have been plenty of times when walking away would’ve been the easier choice.

But I never stopped loving it.

Tattooing has given me a life I could’ve never imagined. It’s brought incredible people into my world, lifelong friendships, experiences, opportunities, and memories I’ll carry forever. It’s shaped who I am, not just as an artist, but as a person.

And even after all these years, I’m still making sacrifices to hold on to this thing I love

This little shop has seen some of the best and hardest days of my life. It’s a part of me.

I don’t know what the future holds, but I know I’ll never regret chasing this dream.

To everyone who’s ever walked through these doors, trusted me with their skin, worked alongside me, or supported this place in any way — thank you.
, I still get to work and have the same passion for sweeping the floors in anticipation for customers as I did since day one , let’s keep it going !
