Mulberry Street Tattoo Lounge

Hey everyone. Quick update. My new location is gettin close. First 2 inspections are complete and now its a safety committee meeting at city hall and then building dept and that'll be it. As of now its lookin like grand opening first week of July. I have a few new people comin on board to do tattoos and piercings. We're gonna do a biggggg grand opening event with giveaways and cheap flash tattoos and discount piercings and possibly a food truck (pending approval).

Its gettin close and its exciting I cant wait for yall to see the new space. I had 6 weeks off on my ass being sick so alottta work got done by alotta people close to me and I appreciate them bein down with me and havin my back when it counts.

Going forward theres gonna be a few minor changes to the way things get managed. All appointments starting in july will require a small 25 dollar deposit to book your time slot. Theres been alotta no shows lately and the lil $25 just gives the lil incentive to come on time or reschedule.

I've always done my best to keep my prices very reasonable and very fair. That will never change. But just be aware.....the drama with nipsco and the price increases, and the prices of every single thing we buy today are going up....sometimes more than once a week. So if u got a tattoo last year for $50, today it might be 60, or 70. It all depends on what your gettin and what i gotta use to make it happen. A tattoo that requires 5 needle sizes is gonna be more $. Simple math.

Thank you everyone for your continued support and for comin to my lil shop. I appreciate everyone and have nothing but high hopes to be there for a long time. Have a great day and stay safe in this weather. Hope to see you soon!

Hey everyone. I just wanted to give everyone an update. I made it thru treatment and I'm gonna be coming back to work. I won't be able to do 8 tattoos a day at first, i gotta take it slow. If u were waiting to get somethin, reach out to me and I'll start puttin a schedule together. I have alot of messages and texts to go thru and things to draw but I'll get to everybody i promise.

On another note, i have all ready secured a new location. Its currently under construction and hasn't been inspected by the city yet. Someone reported me to the city of EC with a tip that I've been tattooing out of the new shop...... even though it isnt any where near ready and ive been in and outta the hospital and going thru chemo treatments with receipts. I'm not blaming anyone I dont know who did it or why....i'm just letting every one here know that it may have put a middle finger into my time line for opening at the new spot. I'm waiting to hear from them to see what kind of issues have been caused and what i gotta do to fix it.

As always, those that support your local tattoo shop i appreciate you and look forward to gettin back to work and gettin you's back in the chair! ❤️

Good morning everyone. I hope every one is havin a nice holiday season. Its been another really good year for my lil tattoo shop. i was sick for a few months and took some needed time off after surgery but I'm back at it full time.

To all of you's that continue to reach out and fill up my appointment book I just want u to know that I appreciate every one of you. its because of you that I'm able to pay my bills and provide for my family and I am very blessed and thankful to everyone.

Now to share my plan going forward.....I'm expanding. I have a partner who is very graciously blessing my lil business with an expansion to a 2nd location. Its in the works now and hopefully will be ready to go online by spring. The location is 8100 S Stony Island and it was a former tattoo shop so the transition should be pretty quick. For all my chicago and south suburb followers hopefully this location will be a lil easier to get to at heavy traffic times. By the summer, i am in talks with a property owner on the west side on Madison and a potential 3rd location will be upgraded to my zoning needs. It's not guaranteed but it's defintely in the works. 3 locations and one me. that's gonna be rough at first but there's talent everywhere so I hope to find it and tap in. No matter what, i will never abandon my core approach to this business, and that's decent clean work for an affordable price. I dont want to be famous and i dont give a s**t about getting rich. i just wanna bring life and tattoos to areas of the city that everyone seems to run away from and abandon. Too many stores sittin empty fallin apart. Fk that.

I am also looking into a larger space in East Chicago as well. Its in the works now and I'll see how it plays out very soon. My goal is to find a few talented individuals that can continue to tattoo full time in EC on the days that I'll be in Chicago. i have no plan to abandon the EC area at all you have welcomed me with open arms and i've made alotta great relationships and that is worth alot.

So thanks again for supporting me and I look forward to keepin this going for a long time. Thank you thank you ❤️❤️❤️ ill keep ya updated
