3 days of painting to get this backdrop ready for the new tattoo space and 3 days to wreck my elbow holding paint cups for too long. I was in need of some painting time, everything comes at a cost...Badges of aging 😆 I also got to test out my meta quest VR goggles to scale this piece up.

Anyways, schedule a tattoo and come check this out in person... maybe take a photo in front of it 🤘 taken in Sacred Silence Studio by @vantsa

KKIDZ - Creative Mind Flow

Over thirty years of creating has taught me one thing: consistency will always outlast criticism. Trends come and go. Opinions fade. The doubts of others become background noise. What remains is the work, thousands of hours spent in solitude making something honest.

Create because it's who you are, not because everyone understands it. Stay curious. Stay unapologetic. In the end, authenticity leaves a deeper mark than approval ever could.

I was able to join the crew of the @schoonermysticwhaler as they transferred the vessel from one harbor to another.

After spending the week moving and closing shop, it was an awesome day to remove myself from tasks and chill for a few hours. I learned a few things and gained some perspective about being at sea.

Thanks Pilas and crew for having me aboard🤙 taken in Santa Barbara Harbor by @vantsa

Sacred Silence Fam,

With deep gratitude, I want to share that Sacred Silence Studio will be closing its doors permanently due to the sale of the property.
Our final day of business will be Sunday, April 26th, 2026.

This space has held stories, milestones, laughter, transformation, courage, grief, and celebration! Thank you for trusting me with your skin, time, and pieces of your life

If you have a tattoo that needs to be finished, please reach out and schedule as soon as possible. It is not my intention to leave anyone with unfinished work. If it can be completed before we close, I will make it happen. If you’ve been wanting a piece by me, now is the time!

After April 26th, I will occasionally guest spot at local shops, in larger cities, and potentially out of state as opportunities arise. If you have suggestions for studios or cities where my energy would feel at home & and welcomed, please reach out. I’m open to the road.

There are currently no plans to relocate to a new permanent space unless the right opportunity presents itself, makes sense, and feels right.

As with life & culture, appreciation of the moment is key. This isn’t an end to the art, its a shift of availability and where it lives.

Thank you for the support, the conversations, the referrals, the trust, and the energy you brought into this studio.

With Respect & Gratitude,

VanTsa 🖤 taken in Sacred Silence Studio by @vantsa
