Tym,
We’re wishing you nothing but happiness and success for your next venture. Retirement from Tattooing may be the end of one incredible chapter, but I know it’s the beginning of another adventure that you’ll throw yourself into with the same passion, dedication and determination you’ve always had.
It’s been an absolute privilege to work alongside you for the past 13 amazing years. We’ve worked in 3 different studios together, made it through a global pandemic, and shared so much more than just work. We’ve celebrated births, supported each other through grief and loss, laughed through the great times, and somehow found our way through the hard ones too. You’ve been my amigo since I was in my late twenties, and I genuinely feel like I’ve grown as a person alongside you.
Thank you for everything you’ve done for me, for your friendship, your support, your endless knowledge, and for all the laughs we’ve shared (mostly at your expense! 😂).
You’ve given 110% to everything you’ve ever done, and I have no doubt you’ll absolutely smash whatever comes next. Your work ethic, talent and loyalty have always been inspiring.
I’ll miss seeing you in the studio, the banter, the ridiculous moments, putting up with my teenage ways and knowing you were only ever in the next booth. But more than anything, I’m grateful for the memories we’ve made together and for always being there through both the good times and the difficult ones.
Thank you for being not only an incredible Tattoo artist, Friend, colleague and being such a great representative of Sim1nk!
Here’s to tight lines, big carp, new adventures, less pain, and a well-earned retirement from Tattooing.
Best of luck, buddy. You deserve every happiness.
L’Oréal!!!
+’s & %’s
Much love,
Sim 🖤
