It is with a heavy heart I announce that I’ll be closing the doors to Capricorn Bodyart permanently.
This was not an easy choice, But the way the world is right now it doesn’t make sense for me to keep it open.
I bought the business at the age of 23 from my mentor that taught me everything I know. I’ve successfully ran it since then and met and tattooed some wonderful people. I’m sad it’s come to this but with no help from the government and my landlord I can’t keep the doors open any longer. As well as the new rules surrounding vaccines and Covid safe plans. 350+ days in the last 2 years being unable to work has really caused me to question running a studio and all the time and effort and stress that comes with it.
A heartfelt Thankyou to everyone that has supported me from day one, got a tattoo, bought a voucher, bought some merch or in anyway helped me achieve the dream of running my own studio.
I will be moving to a private studio to continue to tattoo my clients. This will be appointment only. I will be in touch with all my clients to let you know about this.
Covid has really taken its toll on me personally, financially and on my mental health. I’ve always looked out for my artists and made sure they had a great environment to work in. But now it’s time I look out for myself and my families health. I’ve had so many artists and apprentices work under me and they are all onto bigger and better things now.
Stay safe out there people, and here’s to another small business that has been decimated by this bu****it.
