My dear friend and beloved boss, Jon Roberts, recently experienced a devastating accident that has put his life and career on hold.

While working on a go-kart project for his children—a reflection of his love and dedication as a father—Jon suffered a severe injury to his tattooing hand. A saw slipped during the build, resulting in extensive nerve damage to his arm. Emergency medical teams responded quickly, but he now faces surgery, a long recovery, and the uncertainty of whether he’ll regain full function in the hand that has been his livelihood and passion.

As many of you know, Jon is not just an incredibly talented tattoo artist, but the heart of our shop and a pillar in the tattoo community. His mentorship, kindness, and tireless work ethic have impacted so many artists and clients over the years. Whether it was offering guidance to a new apprentice or staying late to finish a meaningful piece for a client, Jon has always put others first.

Now, it’s our turn to show up for him.

We’re raising funds to help Jon cover medical expenses, lost income during recovery, and rehabilitation costs. Every dollar donated will help ease the stress of this difficult time and allow him to focus on what matters most—healing and being there for his family.

If Jon has ever tattooed you, mentored you, inspired you, or simply made you laugh—please consider donating or sharing this campaign. No contribution is too small, and every bit of support means the world to him and to all of us who care about him.

Let’s rally behind the hand that gave so much to others.
