Hey there, I’m Erin!

At age 33 I was diagnosed with Stage 3 Breast Cancer, after finding a lump while breastfeeding my second born little lady.

After 18 months of Chemotherapy, immunotherapy, surgery and radiation I’m thankfully now in remission.

I have been tattooing since 2010 and last year began my training in Restorative Tattooing, a style of tattooing where we recreate the illusion of a realistic nipple for those who’ve lost theirs due to mastectomy, top surgery etc.

In June I will be travelling to Dallas, Texas to further my training.

This fulfilling adventure obviously comes at a huge financial cost, my flights alone are almost $2700 aud, then another almost $5000 aud for the week of in person training.

To help me get there, some fan-fucking-tastic co workers will be joining me in tattooing small flash designs for $80.08 each on May 5 at Hen’s Teeth Tattoo Co, Rosebud.

I’ve had an overwhelming amount of messages and comments from those wanting to send financial support, with out getting tattooed.. so here’s where Go Fund Me was suggested, not only as a way to make the final payment on flash day for those getting tattooed but also to make it easier for those wanting to donate, without the commitment!

So, the money raised to help me in my new business (ad)venture and can also be a tax deduction for you! Win/win?!

Thanks for reading, and don’t forget to check your chest!
