A little more of a sappier post but today is 3 years since I have joined the tattoo industry and as some may know this year, especially the past 2 months have been the hardest personally.
After getting my trust broken by someone I’ve known for 10+ years and that helped me get started I truly thought my career, a career I have worked my ass off for would be completely over. The support system that came flooding in was so overwhelming that it filled me with so much joy and hope. Without the support from my friends, clients and even strangers who have now become good friends in the industry, I truly would have lost my passion in a craft I’ve only dreamed of.
Even though I am still not settled at a permanent shop I am more than grateful to all the shops thus far who have invited me with open arms to come to guest spot until I can find a permanent place to settle.
Don’t want to make this too long but I would just like to say thank you to every single person that has been apart of my support system since day 1. I would not be the artist that I am today without you. Even with how fucked the world is, I appreciate everyone that has been able to support me, whether it’s setting up tattoo appointments frequently or just simply sharing my content, thank you ❤️
Here’s a pic from my first guest spot tattooing my bestie @tofudumpy
