Hi, my name is Jen! I’m a tattoo artist based out of Kissimmee, FL.

I’ve been tattooing for about 2.5 years now, and i’m so incredibly blessed to be doing so. Working in this industry is truly a dream come true, and it has led me to some of the most creative and bright people i’ve had the pleasure of meeting. While creating art for a living can be quite taxing, my passion keeps me motivated and eager to improve every single day.

Unfortunately, in early January, I began to experience some unexpected, neurological health issues that have impacted my ability to tattoo. Among the many symptoms that have accumulated over time, the most debilitating is the loss of a significant amount of feeling in both of my hands.

I am currently working with a neurologist to receive a diagnosis, however, I have not been able to work now in over a month. As you can imagine, with medical bills in addition to usual bills, my financial situation has become concerning.

I’m quite heartbroken to be in this situation, and I am not the type to feel comfortable asking for assistance. I have received a few messages suggesting me to start an account here, so I decided to give this a try.

Every dollar that I make tattooing is sacred to me, and this will be no different. I have no doubts that I will be back to tattooing regardless of how long it takes. With some financial assistance for my medical / usual bills in the meantime, I can focus my energy on working to heal my body and continue practicing my craft in hopes of returning to normal functioning.

Because i’m unsure of when i’ll be working again, i’ve chosen this amount as my goal. If I return to work, catch up with bills, and still have donations left over, I will be donating the rest to another artist in need.

Thank you for reading my story.
