Exposed Expressions Tattoo Studio

03/08/2021

It is with an extremely heavy heart that I have decided to close down this particular location of Exposed Expressions. Obviously I have not been in there much since covid and baby. At this point I am not in need of such a huge space, as my life has taken some wonderful and also lots unfortunate turns in the last 2 years.**** PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY I REPEAT I AM NOT CLOSING MY BUISNESS..JUST THE LOCATION. ***
That being said the shop is up for lease. If you are interested or know of anyone interested please contact the number in the post directly. I am slowly starting to dismantle everything.
This is extremely hard for me so until I know what my next move is I will not be answering any messages at this time. I will be posting once I start back up again in a new location. Until then I miss you all..lots of love. Sincerely Danarae

It is with extream shock and emotions that I post today that at 8:30 am this morning I held my beautiful mommas hand for her last breath. This last year has been a difficult one for me and I prayed that this new one would be better..unfortunately the worst has happened. I just ask that you respect me through this time of grief. As far at tattooing...posts again will be made on the wall when I am ready for ppl. Until then no further messages will be returned at this time. Thank u. And hold and tell your ppl you love them because ppl can be taken away from you so fast before it even hits you. Love you all. Thank you

HEY EVERYONE! Long time no talk. First and foremost I would like to thank everyone for their patience with me. Weird times for sure.
Second, Fairly soon I am going to be slowly coming into the shop as a trial base. I had clients who were booked pre covid and they will be contacted first. This is not going to be a fast transition. I will only be working two days a week and also can only do one to two clients daily. Things may vary due to road conditions in winter since I now live further from town and child care. Family comes first.
More updates on me will come later.
THIRD AND MOST EXCITING... I would like to wish a warm welcome to "West Coast Collective." You may know her as "Seven Raven Design". A am thrilled to have her and her beautiful shop in Exposed Expressions. Katrina is a beautiful soul whom I have had the pleasure of knowing since Elementary school. We lost touch over the years but reconnected when I saw her beautiful hand crafted jewelry on facebook(Seven Raven Design). Was thrilled to have her jewelry in the shop a few years back and now I am even more thrilled to have her join the team. Soft opening is happening here very very soon!!!! So thrilled for her and please wish her a warm welcome everyone. Feel free to follow her on Facebook or Instagram!!!!

Hello everyone. It has been brought to my attention that multiple ppl have started a rumor that I am not tattooing anymore. This is not true at all. As per my posts prior I am just taking care of my family. I have the ability to do this right now so I am doing it. The tattoo industry is a very finicky one. I have had people come in before severely ill even though I have said stay home if your sick. I have had people lie and basically do whatever they can to get ink. That being said in the current state of the world I dont want to take any chances. I will be returning when, and only when I feel comfortable to do so. So on that note, I will be posting once I am back and I am sure that will also spread like wild fire as this rumor has. Your patience has been muchly appreciated and look forward to taking care of all your artistic needs in the near future. Thank you
Sincerely
Danarae xo

*****UPDATE*****
Hello everyone. Long time no talk. It has been quite the change in our world having to go through all of this hey? Wow. I hope you all are doing ok and are healthy. At this time I am not reopening yet. Many people have been inquiring so I just wanted to put this post out. My husbands work schedule has been changed due to this and I am not sure for how long. With the little one at home I am taking 100% precaution in this. Luckily we are in a position to take these extra precautions unlike alot of self employed entrepreneurs. Please respect this and other small businesses that may not be opening up right away. It is an awful situation we as the world are put in and we all have to work together and support each other. Once I do come back very strick guide lines will be put into place. It will look something like this:
You MUST wear and supply your own mask in the shop.
It will be one on one for this time so no extra visitors. I love having my space full but I do have to take extra precautions.
I will be implementing video consultations to reduce exposure prior to your appointment.
And sadly will be only doing 1 maybe 2 tattoos a daily.
And I will only be accepting E transfers. NO CASH OR DEBIT.
I know this may be an inconvenience for some of you. Believe you me this whole thing is an inconvenience. Hopefully everything will get back to normal soon.
Until then stay safe.. stay happy and healthy hopefully see you soon. Xoxo

Good morning family. Well not sure if it's a good morning or not. I'm still sick. Cannot shake this damn thing at all and for the safety of myself and others I wont be taking any appointments until(at least)I get better. Going forward there will be very strict guidelines to how we proceed. As soon as I know more I will be posting. Stay safe out there everyone. The world is an absolute crazy place right now and I only want to do my part. Miss you all. Cannot wait till these craze is over.
