Happy New Year to you from us!

2025 was an interesting year for small businesses and it was no different for our little shop. It's not always easy being in this game, but it is definitely always worthwhile. We are so grateful to have been a part of this community for over 10 years! Milestones are always a bit of a shocker, but we surpassed a decade serving Vancouver Island this year and that is something to celebrate.

Thank you so much to our amazing clients. Those who have been there from day one, those who have found us along the way, and everyone who gives us the opportunity to create cool tattoos and fun experiences.

We are so very lucky to have the team we do, the support we have, and the pleasure of doing what we love.

Here is to more sweet tattoos, conversations, and connections in 2026.

Thanks for your support, love and trust. Stay safe out there and see you soon.

💕 👏 ✌️ 🥂
