Hey Girly wirlys 🤍
I just wanted to pop on and say a huge thank you for all your messages and continued support over the last few months. It honestly means the world to me.
As most of you know, I’m currently on maternity leave after welcoming my little girl. She’s now 6 weeks old, and I’m really soaking up this time with her. She’s breastfed and very much a mummy’s girl right now, so my days (and nights 😅) are completely focused on her.
I’ve been getting a lot of messages asking when I’ll be returning to work, and while I completely understand and appreciate you all wanting to get booked in, I just want to gently say that I’m not in a position to set a return date yet. I didn’t have a baby to rush straight back to work after a few weeks — this time is really important to me and my family and little madam is so much clingier than my first daughter so things have been very tiring and chaotic.
Please don’t think I’m ignoring anyone — I see your messages, I’m just a little overwhelmed and slower to reply than usual while adjusting to this new chapter.
When I do return, I will be working through bookings in order of those who were cancelled due to maternity leave, so no one will lose their place. All deposits and vouchers remain completely valid, so there’s no need to worry about that at all.
I’m so excited to get back to doing what I love and to see all your faces again when the time feels right — I just ask for a little patience until then 🤍
I do have some exiting news however for those who simply cannot wait to be tattooed. I have someone coming to work in the studio for a little while at the beginning of May, if it works then they’ll become a permanent part of the team, the new artist does cover ups and much darker work than my own so for those who want heavy work not girly wirly work this will be good news for you! Also means anyone itching for a new tattoo doesn’t have to wait for me to return! I’ll post more about this when I have the full details!
Thank you all again for your understanding and support, it truly doesn’t go unnoticed.
Ash 👽 😘
