8!

It’s hard to put into words what this place has become.

We’ve won awards, made it to Hollywood, been featured in newspapers and on TV, welcomed thousands of people through community fundraisers, worked alongside incredible artists from around the world, and somehow built a following that reaches far beyond this little shop on Main Street.

But none of that is the real story.

The real story is the people in this photo; and all the people who have been part of Ink or Dye along the way.

We’ve celebrated together, struggled together, laughed until we cried, actually cried, disagreed, fought with each other and, more importantly, fought for each other. We’ve watched one another grow as artists, professionals, parents, friends and people.

Ink or Dye has never just been a tattoo shop. It’s a family. Imperfect, constantly changing, occasionally chaotic, but fiercely connected.

There’s something here that I’ve never really been able to explain. Something you can’t manufacture, advertise or put into a business plan.

You have to experience it.

Eight years later, we’re incredibly proud of what we’ve built, but even more proud of who we’ve become together.

Thank you to every artist, employee, client, friend, family member and supporter who has walked any part of this journey with us.

Happy 8 years, Ink or Dye. ❤️
Here’s to whatever the hell comes next.
