Michael Petroskie - TattoosByMikeP

Hi, my name is Kathy Davis and I am fundraising for my friend Ursula Lowther's son and grandson Michael and Cole Petroskie. Michael died unexpectedly on Sunday, November 5, 2023. His sudden passing has devastated friends and family alike as well as those entrenched in the tattooing community. Mike was a brilliantly talented man. Whatever he tried he always excelled at.

For the last fifteen years, he worked as a tattoo artist. He was influential and highly regarded in the tattoo community. Mike was widely known for his exceptional skills, creativity, and dedication to his craft, leaving behind a body of work that continues to inspire fellow artists and enthusiasts alike. He incorporated his artistic style often referred to as “color explosion,” with realism. He also had the uncanny ability to capture the true essence of what meaning his clients desired to be conveyed in their tattoos. Thousands of people will carry his legacy.

As you know as an artist Michael didn't have insurance and unfortunately, there are no funds for Mike's funeral service. That being the case the family is in need of funds for medical, funeral, and other end-of-life expenses. Any remaining funds, if any, will go for Cole's education and expenses. He has spoke of forestry service, mechanics, or elevator service.
