📢📢 So I got the Announcement to do...
Ita kinda 2 parts..
First parts a bummer cos I absolutey adore the squad but second parts kinda rad..
This will be my last year with the forbidden ink squad. Its been a dream working with joel and the crew, crazy I think back to when I started, Our town didnt have enough work for apprentices out bush so Id given up and became a tradey. Wasnt til I had an Acco that injured my spine enough to keep me from going back to physical work for years. I was drawing to escape my injury and the depression and it saved my life and has given me a whole life from it.
Ive worked with all these great humans now and its kinda surreal.
Ill finish up on the 22rd Dec.
Ive been welcomed to be apart of the family here for a decent amount of years now and tbh Ive loved every bit, easy days and the challenges!!
Ill keep it short because there is infinite great things I could say about my time with these people.Theyll hear it at the Christmas party (but already know i love them)hahaha
Weve been through everything together and I cant thank you guys enough and your families friends and clients as well.. To Mr and Mrs Speelman its been an absolute pleasure and an honour working with and learning from you pair. Only want good things for you all.
Ok so that was the bummer,
The rad part of the news im excited for is
Im gonna take a few weeks off when I finish in December and
Start building my own little private studio
The details atm the moment are Top Secret
But I will be taking bookings after December for the end of January to get stuck into tattooing 2026.
Thanks guys have a top weekend
