Hi everyone,

Unfortunately, on 06/29, there was a fire that started and quickly grew inside my tattoo shop. The damage was extensive, but thankfully, it did not take the whole building down, and neither I nor anyone else was injured. Not only is tattooing my passion, but it’s my full-time job and what provides for me and my family.

I’m starting this GoFundMe to rally around love, support, and the resources I may need to quickly recover until I hear back from insurance. If you know me, you know the kind of person I am; it takes a lot for me to ask for help. But still trying to figure out the next move, mentally and emotionally get myself together, I can only hope to temporarily move my business and repurchase what I need ASAP to get things going. It’s not doable for me to stop working. Insurance may take weeks or months, hopefully a lot less to process, and there are countless things I need to account for that I’m not sure I can do on my own. The road ahead feels dreadful, but whether you can give $1 or $100, every single dollar matters and will mean the world to me. If you’re not in a position to donate, please consider sharing this link with your networks/friends. Your prayers, your kindness, your support — all of it makes a difference. Truly.

If you’d rather use Zelle/Apple Pay instead of GoFundMe, I will leave the information below.
