Hey everyone. I know its been what seems like a lifetime since I posted and I just want to tell why. Firstly I've been thru a LOT of events that shipped away at me until there's hardly anything left. All that was good and happy in my life has become practically erased. I've suffered a house fire, devastatingly sad disconnections from once very close family. I've been homeless, neglected completely and starving. I somehow found myself in an another abusive relationship that left me severely broken and unable to function without assistance for months!! I'm still trying to repair the damage I suffered. Im now living with Lupus, Arthritis all over (even my spine), Fibromyalgia, memory problems, migraines, and severe depression, anxiety and panic disorder..all and more have left me disabled. Living with chronic pain sucks! I cannot even bathe without assistance sometimes because it just hurts too much. Believe it or not these are only a few. So, unfortunately, I have had to retire from tattooing and pretty much any job.
Please know I only say this so you may understand why I've not responded to messages or posted anything at all. Being an artist is one of the deepest loves of my life and it saddens me to have to let go of nearly 2 decades in the industry. While it may sound like a lot, I wished for a lifetime.
FINALLY I'm slowly getting help for everything from head to toe, inside and out. It's a struggle but the treatments I'm able to get are such a blessing.
I've waited all my life to be able to get help..even if it's only a little at a time. I hope to get better and at least live without pain (mental & physical) some day soon but I don't think I'll ever be able to tattoo again.
While I will miss the art & artists I've worked with over the years, I will miss all of you wonderful people that trusted me enough to let me share a piece of my heART & soul forever. THANK YOU ALL!
