Hey loved ones. Thank you SO immensely for this amazing support. We are waiting on safety equipment to try and re-enter the studios and see the true extent of the destruction. We'll update with more info. As far as tattooing goes, this money will help us buy all the different supplies we need to re-stock a new space we will seek out and make sure we can pay our bills until then, as well as provide aid to others in our community and replace some of the important pieces of furniture we need to tattoo, as well as new permits and all associated liscensing costs for a new space. We are still in deep shock. I just fell apart today for the first time completely, just mourning my second home, our shop, a place I identified as a safe space with my best friends and co-workers, Tori and Baylen.
I can't tell you enough how much it means to get all the sweet and understanding messages from you all and see the ways our community and region are pulling together to help each other. It is so sad to see so many of us loose everything, or nearly so. So thank you so deeply for caring for us. I have been getting a lot of messages about what tattoos I have given different people and how much they love them and its just so wonderful. Thanks for sharing your care with us. Update soon when we get more gas for our generator.
