Hey UTG friends and family! It has been a while since we’ve given any updates. Most of you know that we (D’Wan & Jess) have been busy opening and running our Parlor Doughnuts shop. Meanwhile, Amanda has been holding down the fort (UTG). Some big changes are on the way. The first announcement is that we finally have enough staff in place at Parlor for me (D’Wan) to start taking on some tattoo appointments. My schedule will be extremely limited for the time being. The next big announcement is that we will be celebrating with Amanda as she moves onto the next step in her journey. She will be going over to work with our friends at Scars and Stories. We are truly excited for her and grateful for the time that she was at UTG! Her final day at UTG will be March 22nd. At that point, we will be open by appointment basis only. Currently, my appointments will be limited to week day, daytime hours only. I will still be working full time with many early morning shifts at Parlor Doughnuts. Responses will be slow for the same reason. This may change over time, but for now this is where we are! Thank you all for your patience! I have missed working with you all and I’m so grateful to have seen many of your faces at the doughnut shop!
