Nicholas Rivera () Daybreak was opened with the hope to create a shop that artists wished they worked at and clients want to get tattooed by. We strive for the highest standards we can in both maintaining a clean and friendly environment and to put out some of the best work in the area. While we love what we do

and love making a living by tattooing, we work to be honest and transparent about what will make the best tattoo we can. Our goal is to give you a tattoo that will still love a decade from now! WE DO NOT OFFER PIERCING SERVICES.

Hey everyone, the internet faeries have rebelled and are currently holding our access to the internet realm hostage. We are in tough negotiations but, for the time being, we do not have internet or phones.

We will update when we are up and running and, until then, feel free to message us here, it just might take a second to get back to you!

Thank you for your patience, understanding, thoughts, and prayers! :P

Hello, everyone.
As most of you are aware, Jessi has been away for a bit, due to the health challenges that her partner is facing. She is currently setting in motion the next steps to transferring his care over to family so she can resume what resembles a semi-normal for her. Please be patient with us and her at this time, as she is doing everything she can to get back to all of her clients as soon as possible. None of this has been easy for anyone, so we are doing are best to be transparent while also respecting her privacy at this time. We will be giving updates as we begin to know more, with the hopes of her coming back within the next few weeks. To learn more, please visit https://daybreaktattoo.square.site/jessiupdate

Thank you all very much.

Hey everyone, Nick here.

If you have been a client or friend of Daybreak Tattoo, then you likely know and love Jessi. On top of being one of the sweetest people you'll every meet, she also works hard to give her very best to her clients.

Unfortunately, it has been a difficult year as her partner, Tad, has been battling cancer. During this time, she has worked hard to keep appointments while also being there for him. The strength and resolve she has shown throughout has been incredible as has her dedication to her clients, on even the most difficult days.

More recently, Tad's health has taken a more difficult turn as the cancer has spread, requiring additional care and treatment. It has also left him more reliant on Jessi as things have progressed.

So, for the time being, Jessi will be at the shop as much as life, Tad's health, and her own well-being allows. If you have been waiting to get in with her or have an upcoming appointment, I know it can be difficult for last-minute reschedules, delays, or uncertainties. It will be day-to-day for a while, but I can assure you we'll be doing the best that we can.

Obviously, missing work and income brings it's own hardships but, thankfully, a good friend of Jessi's started a GoFundMe to allow us to help lighten the load during this difficult time. I am linking that below as well as a direct link to Jessi's Venmo if you prefer donating directly.

I don't know what else I can say aside from cancer sucks, Jessi and Tad are amazing, and I hope that, if circumstances allow, you'll consider making a generous donation to these wonderful people during a time no one should have to go through.

Thank you!
Nick

Nick has some upcoming availability that he'd love to fill!

His Instagram has some available designs with even more at the shop. He'd also love to do some one-shots as well! Skulls, anime, weird creatures, etc!

If you like living dangerously, you can also come get a tattoo from the Deck of Cures. Pay $150, draw a random card, get it tattooed! Don't like what you drew? $10 gets you a second card!
