For anyone new here: Dee Calato owns a lot of wigs.

And at some point, I made the executive decision that every wig is obviously a completely different woman with her own name, history, scandals, and increasingly questionable backstory.

Dee did not ask for this.
Dee does not control the lore.
I barely control the lore.

So far, we’ve met Deevana and Deelilah, go check out the posts about those two for the lore.

Today, Dee walked into Inkery with blue hair.

Which means, unfortunately for her, but fortunately for me, another woman has entered the universe.

🌊 MEET DEEMARINA 🌊

Deemarina spent most of the early 2000s working on cruise ships.

What she actually did on the cruise ships remains unclear.

She tells people she was “in entertainment,” but there are no photographs of her performing, nobody remembers seeing her on stage, and Carnival will not confirm her employment.

She has been banned from docking in three Caribbean ports.
She says it was “a misunderstanding involving a jet ski.”

It was not a misunderstanding.

She owns a timeshare in Aruba under somebody else’s name and keeps a suspicious number of hotel room keys in her car that she uses as ice scrapers.

If you ask where the room keys came from, she gets weird about it.
She also gets visibly uncomfortable whenever anyone mentions maritime law.

She met Deelilah once in international waters.
Deelilah claims she never met her.
Nobody asked her.

Neither woman will discuss what happened at sea.

The town has questions.

🛋️ UNLICENSED THERAPIZING WITH GREG & TONIA 🛋️

For those of you new to the Inkery Cinematic Universe: Greg Madole (and Tonia) lore incoming. Buckle up!

Greg has a habit of bringing people in for tattoos and somehow sending them home with relationship advice, family guidance, boundary-setting strategies, and the occasional existential breakthrough.

In other words, he therapizes his clients.

(Yes, therapizes is a word I made up. Don’t burst my bubble. I like it, and I’m quite proud of it.😌)

And because I also have opinions about absolutely everything, this has now become a group project.👫

So welcome to Unlicensed Therapizing with Greg & Tonia. Life advice from two people who are absolutely not therapists, but have somehow been therapizing people anyway.

Today’s session:

Talk to yourself like you would somebody you actually love. Some of you are out here bullying yourselves full-time.

Seriously.

You’d never look at someone you love and say half the things you say to yourself.

You wouldn’t call them stupid for making a mistake.
You wouldn’t tell them they’re ugly because they had a hair bad day.
You wouldn’t decide they’re a failure because they’re struggling.

So why do you give yourself permission to talk to you that way?

You don’t have to think you’re perfect. You don’t even have to like everything about yourself.

But maybe stop being your own biggest critic.

That’s enough therapizing for today.

Disclaimer: Greg & Tonia are not mental health professionals. We are simply two people with a tattoo shop, 5 kids, a lot of life experience, and an alarming amount of confidence.

Hey everyone, it’s Payton!!

It’s that time when I choose a random follower and draw a tattoo I think they'd like based off stalking their profile👀.

Todays lucky follower is JD Eliza

I chose to draw this black and gray sparrow-ish type bird because I was inspired by their cover photo. It got me thinking about how i’ve wanted to draw one of these birds for a while now!
And of course, This is all just for fun!
(but of course, if anyone is interested in this design it is available as flash!)🙂

🥧 JAMES PRIES PRIZED PIES 🥧

(Pries is pronounced “Preez.” Pies is pronounced Piez....We’ve been over this.)

We’ve been seeing a lot of Deevana and Deelilah around the shop lately, which is great for Dee Calato but unfortunate for me because I currently have no new wig lore to report. And I think Payton Blesy is still drawing the tattoo for a random follower......

So naturally, it’s time for another pie!

This week:
Salted Maple Pecan Pie

James has recently expressed concern that James Pries Pies may be becoming “a thing.”

Unfortunately, James failed to specify that he did not want it to become a thing before I committed publicly to making it a thing.😏
(James is actually loving this series)

So here we are.
👨‍🍳
You’ll need:
1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
2 cups pecan halves
3 eggs
¾ cup pure maple syrup
½ cup brown sugar
4 tbsp melted butter
1 tsp vanilla
½ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp salt
Flaky sea salt (because we're boujee like that 😏)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Spread the pecans evenly in the pie crust.
Whisk together the eggs, maple syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.
Pour over the pecans.

Bake for 45–55 minutes, until the edges are set and the center still has a slight jiggle.

Let cool completely and finish with a little flaky sea salt.

Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

✨ PAYTON LORE HAS ENTERED THE CHAT ✨

Payton Blesy recently came to me and said she feels left out of all the Inkery lore.

(She did not. I made that up.)

But I told her the lore is getting out of hand and I’m only one woman with a rapidly dwindling supply of creativity, so instead we came up with something else:
(By WE I mean ME)

Every so often.... ideally weekly.... realistically whenever Payton and I both remember this exists. Payton is going to creep through our followers list, pick one of you completely at random, and design a tattoo she thinks you’d like based solely on your profile.

No pressure to get it. No obligation. Just Payton professionally judging your vibe and turning it into a tattoo.

Also, in an unfortunate plot development, Payton’s 9–5 recently went out of business.

This is particularly devastating because she had been diligently saving for a life-size animatronic velociraptor for her future dining room. (Guys. I'm trying to keep you entertained here. Just go along with it okay? Payton really wants to do more tattooing)

So she needs to tattoo more than ever!

Go look at Payton’s work, book with our apprentice, and help this woman achieve financial stability and, someday, dinosaur ownership. 🦖

(Or home ownership....whichever come first)
