Our beloved Sarah Jane lost her battle with cancer this past January. We have kept this page open as a way to honor and remember her.

Please do good each day in her honor.

It is with a VERY heavy heart that I have decided to close my tattoo studio.
My body is not what it used to be and my mind is distracted. My life has been turned upside down and I'm trying to make sense of it, to find my purpose and my joy again. I am deeply grieving for the life I loved and worked so very hard for. I miss you all terribly and I am hoping to find my love for tattooing again soon.
I will be reaching out to clients soon who have unfinished pieces and gift certificates as soon as I can.
On a more positive note I found out that I have "stable disease" and will continue having infusions every 28 days for the rest of my life to hopefully maintain this success...I am living with cancer and I am going to try and make the best of it.

Remember back there a week ago when I said I was going back to work...well my dang body has other plans 😢🤬😩. That will have to wait until I can get strong again. Barf.

If you care to know more here is a link to my caring bridge.

It has been awhile since I last wrote about this wild journey.  Life sure has been very full over this last month or so.  Not only is my body living in ever changing chaos;  the world that surrounds me is too.  I have shed more ...

Hello everyone!

I know that some of you are eager to get back to getting tattooed and I thought I would update you as to where I’m at in the process of coming back to work.

I know that the governor has given tattoo shops the green light to reopen again...but I unfortunately am still going through cancer treatment. I can not jeopardize my health in any fashion with this Covid business until I have finished up my last double dose of infusions. I was hoping to be finished with them by now but that is just not the case.

So with that said I will be returning to work the week of the 22nd of June.

I will not be taking on any new projects at this time. I will be focusing all my energy on completing projects already started and projects that were previously scheduled that I had to postpone.

My work load is also going to look a lot different as my energy level and body still need my focus and are my main priority. I will be going down to 3 days a week instead of 5 very full days.

I appreciate your continued patience and support. This round of cancer has proven to be the most challenging, exhausting and painful thing I have ever gone through and it has taken a lot out of me. I hope to find my inspiration and strength again here real soon.

I will reach out to my clients with past appointments in the next couple weeks. I also understand if people are no longer in a position to have work done.

I miss talking with you all during our appointments and I miss seeing all your beautiful faces!
