Hey all! We have a flash sheet for this month as a couple of the causes in September are near to us, with su***de awareness and prevention and with recovery being highlighted this month, and we're hoping to donate a portion of what's made to the Out of Darkness Walk happening downtown at the waterfront in November. Designs are $60 each ($50 each to do 2+), no modifications and no face/hands/feet.

Averee primarily will have openings for this sheet. (Shoot us a DM to see the full sheet, or feel free to drop in when we're in — it's on the front counter!)

Also, go wish our girl a belated happy birthday!!!🥳

And back to our regularly scheduled programming, and back to school for JCPS this week! (I'll be out Thursday for that) ...I'll be posting availability for Averee and myself here soon for this month and September.

Mark your calendars: the Spooky Season Spectacular is back on this October!! We'll be featuring a more streamlined flash selection — of course though, there will be a new sheet (or 2) by Averee and one by myself. We hopefully are going to be able to set up a dedicated walk-in day each week as well. As always, that'll be 10/1 to 11/2, and this will be the last year it can run it at the price points it's been for the last couple of years ($40 +$13 for each color added), so don't miss out! It'll go up next year some (most everything will have to, to better cover overhead) but of course, the quality and service won't diminish.

Much love, excitement and appreciation

((Kt here))

As of 7/17 (my twins are officially teenagers now), I'll be out of the shop like usual for 2 weeks. I'll be back in 8/1, and I will be limited in my response time, but I will try to respond in the 5-7 day range (hopefully more prompt than that, though). I've been frustratingly more scattered and behind than usual with the wonkiness of my health, so please don't hesitate to send me a follow up if that week mark passes.

Meanwhile, though, Averee still *has availability* over these upcoming weeks and would LOVE to fill up those openings! Direct message her on Instagram for the quickest response to find out exactly what she has remaining and to set up an appointment with her.

As always, with the most appreciation: thank you guys for your understanding, your patience and your support. ✨💜✨

Hey all!
Just a reminder: 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙥 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙗𝙚 𝙘𝙡𝙤𝙨𝙚𝙙 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙗𝙤𝙩𝙝 𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙨 𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 7/1.

𝘼𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙚 has availability as soon as 7/2 and throughout the rest of July. 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗲𝗿 @𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗼𝗼𝘀 𝘃𝗶𝗮 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗵𝗲𝗿 — let's get her booked up! (Her work is pictured 😎)

𝙆𝙩 will be back in-shop 7/6, but will not have the ability to correspond between 6/27 and 7/3, so any messages/texts sent or voicemails left during that time will be answered as soon as 7/5. ...At this time, Kt does not have availability left in July, but does have mid/late August weekdays available.

Stay safe and take care, dears! We hope you're enjoying your summer 🌞!

Hey all! Averee has opportunities to book in this month left, as well as throughout July! Reach out to her to schedule — if you don't have Instagram, feel free to reach out through FB or the shop number for her and you'll be put in contact! Kt is booked full for July, but *does* still have weekday availability in August, so reach out to get scheduled in!

Both Kt and Averee will be out of the shop 6/25 — 6/29, with Kt being out until 7/7 (and likely unable to respond to any correspondence at all 6/27-7/3). Kt will also be out as traditionally the last 2 weeks of July, 7/17 thru 7/31.

As always:
-we will be closed 7/1 🖤
-our 20% off gift certificates for 13 days of Christmas in July special will run — details to come
-we can't express how greatly we appreciate y'all's trust, support and care! Thank you 💖

Hey, Kt here.

I've been in a terrible fibromyalgia flare all this week and am currently way further behind on designs and follow up and just everything than I would ever like to be. ...I've been trying to thug it out, but it's hard when some days you can't keep your eyes open and it hurts to think about moving, let alone actually move.

That said, I'm hoping for an upswing this weekend 🤞🏽 and I'm working on making sure I've followed up in contacting people. So, if you haven't heard from me, I'm not ghosting you, I'm having a rough go. Please feel free to shoot another message if you haven't heard from me by Monday — I may have overlooked it in the queue, or I'm still behind on things, worst case scenario.

Thank you all for your patience ✨

May whoever fills that maternal role in your life have a wonderful day today! Happy Mother's Day to all our wonderful clients that are moms.

(Protip: there's a lot of moms that will gladly accept the ability to get tattoo flowers in lieu of actual flowers 😁)

Averee still has availability! And she has specials and new flash going on this month!

Interested? Check out and DM her directly over to find out more and book! (Or reach out thru here or text @502.830.9731 and we'll get you together ASAP!)
