Hi everyone, my name is Tiffany and over the weekend, my brother’s tattoo shop was broken into and everything stolen. This was a space he poured his heart, soul, and years of hard work into and in just one night, everything he spent years building, time and time again, was taken from him.

More than $15,000 worth of equipment and decor was stolen. Gone are his tattoo gun machines including all the ports, rotary’s, his conventional tattoo machines, all of his power supplies, his entire full supply setup, tattoo stencil printer, music system, his IPad and IPad pen, the custom decor he handcrafted, and so many other things but most heartbreakingly, his original tattoo guns, the ones he used when he first started his journey in this industry in his early 20’s. Those tools held not just value, but meaning. They represented how far he had come and he won’t be able to replace them.

He built that shop from the ground up..piece by piece, dollar by dollar, and dream by dream.

This isn’t just about material things. This was his livelihood. His passion and his way of supporting his two kids.

My brother is a devoted father to two beautiful little boys, my Nephews. One is just 2.5 years old and the other not even 5 months yet. Every tattoo he’s done, every long day at the shop, was for them. His livelihood was stolen by people who will never understand the blood, sweat, and tears it took to get here.

To make matters even more heartbreaking, he didn’t have insurance on his tattoo supplies or equipment. Like many artists who start from scratch, he invested every extra dollar back into his dream, never thinking something like this would happen. Everything he needs to work and make his income was stolen, with no safety net in times of need like this.

We’re heartbroken… But what I do know is that he has built a community around him based on the amazing person he is. I know that in the dark, kindness and love can rebuild what hate and greed tried to take from him.

If you know my brother, you know he’s the guy who shows up for others, even when no one’s watching. He’s given so much of himself and would do anything for anyone in need.

The amount of love he has already been shown has made this hard time a little less disheartening but If you’re able to donate, share, or just send some more love, it would mean the world to our family. Every dollar will go directly toward helping him replace what was lost and get back to doing what he loves…creating art for you all and supporting his boys.

Thank you for reading, sharing, and supporting during this devastating time. Let’s help him rebuild what was so unfairly taken away.

With love and immense gratitude,

His sister,

Tiffany Adams (Fraser) ❤️
