Help Eddie Morales Heal and Provide for Family

Hi everyone,

Our names are Sirris and Lenee Slay. We are creating on behalf of our dear friend

Eddie Morales who has been a guest artist spotting at our shop the last 3 years during Cave Creek Bike Week for the 10 day event all the way from Chicago.

He's been a professional tattoo artist for over 20 years. Tattooing isn’t just his career—it’s his passion, his art, and how he provides for his family.

Recently, while on his work vacation where he had to beat the time in Az at Cave Creek bike week taking on a guest spot and building new creative connections, he experienced a sudden medical emergency. As a self-employed artist, he doesn’t have the safety net of paid time off or employer-provided health benefits. This unexpected health crisis has forced him to pause his work and focus on recovery—meaning no income during this time.

Eddie is the sole provider for his family, and this situation has placed a heavy financial strain on him. Between medical expenses, travel costs, and the loss of work, the family is facing some tough challenges.

I’m reaching out for help to cover medical bills, recovery costs, and basic living expenses while he heals and works towards getting back to doing what he loves.

Every dollar helps, and even if you can’t donate, sharing this page means the world to us.

Thank you for taking the time to read, support, and share. He can’t wait to get back behind the needle and continue creating for his amazing clients.

With gratitude,

The entire Ink Therapy Cave Creek shop on behave of our dear friend Eddie

Update- He entered ER on April 13th. The amazing miracle workers have been trying to get the infection under control to have emergency surgery but we have had ups and downs. Better then suddenly worse now we are just praying that it gets better to correct with surgery asap. We have been hoping for the better for 11 days...We will update when he's clear to fly to Chicago hospital to be close at home with his wife and family.
