I Never Thought I’d Be Here Asking for Help…

I’ve always been the type to figure things out on my own, to keep pushing no matter what life throws at me to motivate people to keep going no matter how hard it is or the obstacles they face. As a tattoo artist, I’ve built my career on making others happy giving help when i can and just neing there for the people that may need it the most — giving people art they can carry forever, creating memories, and always trying to give more than I take.

But right now… life has gotten heavy. Between personal struggles, and just making what it takes to more foward or unexpected bills that just puts me behind and this slow season that always hits our industry the hardest, I feel like I’m drowning. I’ve been doing everything I can to hold it together, but it’s taken such a toll on me. I’ve even thought about walking away from tattooing, and that thought alone breaks my heart, because this is what I love.

I’m not proud to ask, but I’m humbly reaching out to my family, friends, and followers. If you’ve ever sat in my chair, laughed with me during a session, or walked away smiling with fresh ink — you’ve been part of my journey. And now I need you more than ever.

If you can book a tattoo, share this post, or donate — no matter how small — it would mean the world to me. Every bit of support is a reminder that I’m not alone, that my dream of opening my own shop is still alive, and that there’s light at the end of this tunnel.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading this, for caring, and for always believing in me when I struggle to believe in myself. ❤️
