🎓🌺 CONGRATULATIONS, NAY! 🌺🎓

Today we are celebrating someone who means so much to all of us here at Bangarang Tattooing Company.

Our amazing assistant, Nay, has officially earned her GED!

Anyone who knows Nay knows how hard she works. Day after day she helps keep the shop running, takes care of our clients, supports our artists, and somehow manages to do it all with kindness, patience, and a smile.

What many people don't see are the sacrifices, determination, and perseverance that go into reaching a milestone like this. Earning a GED isn't just about passing a test—it's about committing to yourself, pushing through challenges, and proving that it's never too late to keep moving forward.

Watching Nay accomplish this goal has been incredibly inspiring. We have seen firsthand the effort she put in, and we couldn't be prouder of her.

Nay, thank you for everything you do for our team, our artists, and our clients. You are such an important part of the Bangarang family, and today we celebrate YOU.

Please join us in congratulating Nay on this incredible accomplishment. ❤️

We are so proud of you, and we're excited to see where life takes you next!!!!

🌺 We love you, Nay! 🌺

🌺 Safe Travels, Resident Guest Artist Roger Solis! 🌺

The Texas chapter may be wrapping up for his May trip, as he is headed for his next adventure.

Next stop for Rogers Tour:
📍 Indiana
📍 Michigan
📍 San Diego

Thank you for all the stories, laughs, tattoos, random knowledge, and good times you've shared with our crew and clients during your stay. We're going to miss having you around the shop!

Safe travels! We'll see you again this fall when Texas decides to stop trying to melt everyone. 😂☀️ He will return around October 2026 for a few months once again! Dm him to pre-book and coordinate!

Mahalo from your Bangarang family. 🤙🌴🌺

🎂🖤 HAPPY 23RD BIRTHDAY TO OUR APPRENTICE, JOANNA PRITT! 🖤🎂

Well... somehow this fabulous human is 23 today.

To be fair (read this in my vocal stem lololol)... she's been 87 years old in spirit since the day we met her. 😂

Over the last year and a half we've watched Joanna continue to grow as an artist, take on bigger projects, push herself outside of her comfort zone, and build a stronger foundation for the career she's working so hard to create -- all while STILL working on her Bachelors Degree.

Tattooing isn't easy. It requires patience, consistancy, and tons of repetative focus. Joanna shows up every day ready to learn, help out, work, and improve.

She's creative, kind-hearted, stubborn in all the right ways, and has become an important part of our Bangarang Ohana. Watching her find her confidence and her own artistic voice has been one of the coolest parts of this apprenticeship journey.

Joanna, thank you for all the laughs, all the hard work, all the random conversations, random Thesis on anything Batman (especially RedHood), all the art projects, and all the moments that make this shop feel like home.

We're incredibly proud of you and excited to see what this next year brings.

Even if your arguments are still wrong most of the time.
..to be fair, though, sometimes you're right. 😉HAhahahahhah We LOVE YOU!

Everyone help us wish Joanna a very Happy 23rd Birthday! 🎉🎂🖤

🌺🦜 THANK YOU! 🦜🌺

What an incredible Consultation Day.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by the shop, shared ideas, met with our artists, brought family members, introduced friends, and spent part of your day with us.

One of our favorite things about Consultation Day is seeing new faces, reconnecting with familiar ones, and helping people take the first step toward their next tattoo project.

We also love seeing the little ones and loved ones become part of something bigger. Our shop has always been built around family, friendship, creativity, and community, and every member of our Bangarang Ohana—big and small—helps make this place special. ❤️

From our Bangarang family to yours, thank you for allowing us to be a small part of your stories.

If we missed you yesterday, don't worry—we can still help!

📩 Send us a DM and we'll help connect you with the right artist for your project.

🌺 SOOOOOO Grateful for our crew. 🌺

The first Tuesday of every month—the day before Consultation Day—is our Deep Clean Day at Bangarang.

While the shop is cleaned and maintained throughout the month, this is the one day where we typically don't have clients in the building, allowing us to fully reset, landscape, redecorate and prepare for another beautiful month ahead.

It's our opportunity to tackle all the extra projects that don't always fit into a busy tattoo schedule—deep cleaning, organizing, maintenance, resetting stations, and taking care of all the little details that help us maintain the clean, welcoming environment we're proud to provide for our artists and clients.

What makes this one special is that every person in this photo showed up on their day off to help.

Nobody had to.

They chose to.

As a shop owner, that means more than I can properly put into words how much the whole team ALWAYS shows up.

Thank you for helping make Bangarang Tattooing Company what it is. I appreciate every one of you. ❤️

And with that being said...

TODAY is Consultation Day! 🖋🌺

Why not stop by and meet some of the amazing smiling faces I have the privilege of working alongside every day?

We'll be here from 9:00 AM – 8:00 PM, ready to talk tattoos, answer questions, and help bring your ideas to life.

It’s that time again folks! It’s our monthly consultation day is coming up this Wednesday, June 3rd!

During the time that were open, all artists, including the guest artists that will be here, will be available to talk to you and communicate with either over the phone or in person. You’ll be able to get scheduled for a tattoo and plot out your designs one-on-one with your artist, without the worry of them having to take care of somebody else.

I hope to see you all there!
