Happy Father’s Day weekend to my biggest supporter. 🤍 From hopping in the car to drive us to my very first Indigenous tattoo gatherings, to being the first in line to get a piece of my art on his skin. he’s always been my anchor.

Long before it was accepted or popular, he wore his hair long and carried our traditional tattoos with pride, standing firm through times of heavy discrimination. Because he held his ground then, I can walk out my passion today. Kunolunkwa Lakenihá̲.

✨ Father’s Day Weekend Promo: Ask for the Brad John discount. Celebrating all our supporters with a $150/hour rate all weekend! We have a few spots open this and tomorrow evening for either two small handpoke tattoos or one medium piece. DM to claim tonight’s availability.

Notice Regarding Response Times 🌿

I am currently focused on creating and editing two memorial videos and will respond to all pending appointment requests once these timelines are clearer.

As a Haudenosaunee, cultural tattoo practitioner and Indigenous Death Doula my work is deeply bound to community care and often involves supporting people through grief.
Because we are so interconnected with the people we serve, taking the time to use our traditional medicines and practice self-care is essential. It allows us to clear our energy so we can release compassion fatigue and safely hold space for your healing when you're in the studio.

Niawen/ Thank you all so much for your patience and continued support. Kunolunkwa
