To our Lost Tribes family,
After ten incredible years, the time has come for Lost Tribes Tattoos to close its doors.
This message is not easy to write, because Lost Tribes was never just a tattoo shop. It was built on trust, creativity, late nights, laughter, pain, healing, and stories that will live far beyond the walls we worked in. Every tattoo done here carries a piece of that history.
To every artist who helped build Lost Tribes thank you. Your talent, dedication, and individuality shaped the soul of this shop. What we created together mattered, and it will continue to matter wherever you take your craft next.
To every client who supported us over the years thank you for trusting us with your stories, your memories, your losses, your victories, and your skin. Whether you came in once or became family, you helped make Lost Tribes what it was.
While Lost Tribes Tattoos is closing, the tattooing is not stopping. Our artists are continuing their journeys, and we encourage you to reach out directly to your artist to find out where they’ll be tattooing next. The relationships built here don’t end with a building.
Ten years is a lifetime in this industry, and we don’t take a single moment of it for granted. Lost Tribes existed because of community because people believed in us, supported us, and chose us time and time again.
Though this chapter is ending, the story isn’t over. And you never know… Lost Tribes Tattoos may one day be reborn again. 😉🤫
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being part of this journey.
With respect and gratitude,
Ricky Butler Jr
Founder & Artist
