Help Cloud 95 come to a peaceful end.

Sadly, after 5 years, I have made the painful decision to close this beautiful place. It has been ground zero for so many friends made, fun parties, and of course, thousands of incredible tattoos.

I got married here, I met some of the most wonderful people through owning this shop, and for that, I will be forever grateful.

That being said, after opening during the pandemic, things just never got better, and everything I’ve tried to do to get ahead just hasn’t been fruitful. I have spent all of my savings and stressed my body and mind to the max to keep this place open, and it’s just not enough.

I am so happy that in the end, I have been able to hear so many kind words from clients and friends, and I am grateful that it has solidified itself as an amazing place for people of all walks of life to get beautiful tattoos in a peaceful and loudly inclusive environment.

I just do not have it in me anymore. I have not been able to afford insurance for myself, and my chronic health issues have gotten to the point that I figured I’d either send my body to the point of shutdown or ask my community for help, so here we are.

During my time here in Soma, I have given thousands of dollars to fundraise my community, and now I would just really appreciate the help and support. This money will help me restart my insurance and help me pay for the overhead of the studio without overworking myself, giving me time to reflect peacefully and allow myself to actually enjoy the final few months here.

If you have had a memorable tattoo experience at the Cloud, please help out and share your favorite piece you’ve gotten or experience you’ve had.
