In honor of our beloved Dolly, I will be hosting a flash event Friday Sept. 11th. The theme will be mostly western designs and the like. Previous flash designs will also be available. I will post some of the designs in the days to come!
Did you know?:
Dolly founded and funded the Imagination Library shipping over 325 million free books to children worldwide. She's donated millions of dollars to other education and pediatric programs such as tuition assistance, scholarships, and even employed many people.
She donated millions to medical research and children's hospitals, including funding to research the COVID19 vaccine, pediatric cancer research, and pediatric infectious disease research.
She offered disaster relief and community aid during different disasters such as the 2016 wildfires that devastated the Great Smokey Mountains, hurricane Helene relief and the Middle Tennessee Floods.
She advocated heavily for wildlife, establishing the Eagle Mountain Sanctuary for bald eagles which successfully rehabilitated non-releasable eagles and contributed to them being delisted from endangered. She also won the Carnegie Medal of Philanthropy.
She advocated and fought for gay rights during the AIDS epidemic, and has fought for other civil rights all throughout her life. She was truly an inspiration and continues to contribute to better the world even in death. Let's all be like Dolly .

Thank you SO MUCH Mia Stivason-Airgood from Havin for having such an amazing class for us and our community. You took your time and dedicated the day to focus on something so important and spread awareness. I'm so grateful to have been able to be a part of this.
Because of the work you've done, the shop can now be a registered "safe space" for anyone in need. For ANY person that may be in an unsafe place, an abusive domestic situation, a SA survivor, are having suicidal thoughts, or even just need somewhere safe to be for a couple hours, the shop doors are always open for you. There are so many resources I can pass along to you, and there are more people who care than you realize. YOU MATTER, YOU ARE LOVED, THERE IS HOPE, AND THERE IS HELP!
Also a huge thank you to Sarah, Rachel, and Ghost. You guys rock.

🗣️ To those of you who don't already know, my sister Randi Moore has been apprenticing with me over this past year. She has been putting in so much hard work and effort to learn the craft the right way. That being said, she has officially been approved to start taking more practice skin from the public. She will need some volunteers to get these custom designs done on! Below I am posting the available designs, and the practice work she has already done.
✨ Limited spots available ✨
There will be a flat fee of only $50 to help cover supply costs and deter no-shows.
The designs will be available in black and grey, no color. Arms and legs only. All tattoos will be supervised by me.
Shoot over a message to the shop page to secure your spot and get in the books!
