Portfolio Update 💟

Thank you to everyone who has trusted Amanda with your ideas, your skin, and your time. And thank you, Amanda, for sharing these beautiful pieces with us so we share them here.

Amanda is genuinely so grateful for every client she’s worked with so far.
She has loved getting to know each person, building her clientele, and having the opportunity to create something meaningful with you guys.

One of the things I really appreciate about Amanda is the way she approaches people. She’s genuine, patient, thoughtful, and incredibly thorough. She takes the time to listen to what you’re envisioning, talk through the details, and make sure you feel comfortable and understood before the needle touches your skin.

She’s also technically skilled and continues to grow deeply with every piece she takes on.
It’s been really cool to watch that happen.

Amanda is looking forward to meeting some new faces this fall, so if you’ve been thinking about getting tattooed and you want an artist who will listen, take her time, help you develop your idea, and care about the entire experience, I really can’t recommend her enough. Simply email her to start the conversation: [email protected]

We’re lucky to have you, Amanda. 💟

A couple weeks ago, some of our Crimson City crew represented us at Kickin’ It in the Stix ’26, and they had an absolute blast networking, meeting new faces, and making some great memories.

First, thank you to Kickin’ It in the Stix for having us! We’re grateful to have been included. ❤️

Martyn Johnson HUGE shoutout to you for helping organize, getting the shirts together, bringing our art out to sell, and then stepping up to the mic to represent CC.

Apparently Steve decided “It’s your time, sir.” 😂 and handed Martyn the mic…while conveniently keeping the trophy so he could hand it out. LMAO. We see what happened here. 😂

Seriously, Martyn, thank you for stepping up. You’ve been stepping up in so many ways lately, and we see it. It looks good on ya. ❤️

Mr. Jon Barnes : thank you for handling logistics, organizing, making things happen, and helping with all of the shirts. Thank you for stepping in (always) and carrying some of that weight when I needed it most. It means more than you know...

Steve Scheid thank you for being CC since day one. Your loyalty, presence and support never go unnoticed. Thank you for stepping up and in ~ especially when we needed you guys the most. Big shoutout to Blue as well. ♡

Amanda Pitschmann thank you for showing up, especially in that heat! The boys loved having you there, and we see the -effort- you and your family continue to make for CC. It never goes unseen. ❤️

And a HUGE thank you to all of our CC members who donated gift cards for this event. Even when you couldn’t be there, you helped us show up and give back.

To everyone who organized, worked, donated, created, represented, and showed up, thank you.

You guys mean so much to Crimson City.

Keep making memories. Keep showing up. Keep representing.

CC ❤️

CRIMSON CITY TATTOO ❤️‍🔥
I’ve been thinking about Crimson City a lot lately, and I want to share something that has always been at the heart of what We’ve built here.

We don’t just create amazing tattoos.
We create amazing experiences.
That has never been just a "hashtag" to me... It’s the reason behind so many of the decisions I make here and the standard I’ve always wanted this space to hold. 🤝

When you walk through our door, I want you to feel welcomed, respected, comfortable and taken care of.
I want you to be able to sit in that chair, breathe, and know that you’re in good hands. The tattoo matters, obviously...but so does everything surrounding it. 🪾🌳

That means the way we communicate, the way we prepare, the way we keep our space, the way we treat our clients and each other, and the way we show up for our work. Those things aren't separate from the tattoo. They are part of the experience.

And as our shop continues to grow, I want to be really intentional about protecting that.
Crimson City is a place where artists can grow, where we support each other without rescuing each other, where trust is built through consistency, and where professionalism matters. It’s a place where we work hard, create beautiful things, have fun, and still have boundaries. Drama stays at the door.

None of this is new.
These are the things I’ve believed in since way before the beginning.
We are just making them more visible now, because the bigger we grow, the more important it becomes that everyone who walks through our doors understands what we’re about.

I want Crimson City to be a place that people want to come to. A place where you can feel the difference before you even sit in the chair.

Not perfect.
Intentional.
Not for everyone.
For the people who feel it.

Because at the end of the day, we want people to leave Crimson City Tattoo feeling better than when they walked in.

Heart leads.
Standards protect.
Consistency builds trust. Always.

We don’t just create amazing tattoos.
We create amazing experiences.
❤️‍🔥This is the heart of Crimson City ❤️‍🔥
