i’m coming back!

Thank you for subscribing to my quarterly newsletter! I have a ton of announcements to make and you will be among the first to know.

I return to work the second week of July- with bookings opening in June! That should give you all the time to send in your ideas and flash requests and give me enough time to relax and look through them all while I’m transitioning back into civilian life.

I will not be returning to Yant Studio. Instead, I’ll be moving into Junkmail Tattoo in Brooklyn! My time at Yant was great and being there allowed me to grow on my own and develop the techniques you see in some of my more recent work from last summer. I appreciate everyone I worked with and wish all the artists there the absolute best.

Junkmail is run by a long time friend of mine @dill.tattoos and it is a private studio in the Bushwick area. They are a very friendly group with exceptional work and I can’t wait to meet the rest of the team. Working here will allow me to fully take control of my business as I transition into this next phase in my life.

Getting a tattoo from me will be simpler than ever. Fill out my form on my website and I’ll get back to you via email! Want a flash? Book it instantly with my scheduling software! Need a touch up from back in the days? I will honor all touch ups from 2024 free of charge until the end of 2025- it’s only fair as I’ve been gone for so long. I will announce later on when my touch up policy will change but until the end of the year, if I tattooed you anytime in 2024- come get a touch up if you really need one!

So while I was away, I actually had a lot of free time. I’ve been working on this Pokemon 151 flash and I’m super excited to launch this project. My goal is to tattoo all 151 Pokemon from gen 1 as soon as possible. They will all be 2 inches big and $151. Simple, right? I am also working on more detailed anime pieces at a discounted rate for my portfolio.

I seriously can’t wait to get back to tattooing. I never thought I would find something that would make me not only fall in love with art again but sustain me financially and I recognize my ability to do this at a high level- this just feels like something I have to do and I really want to do it. I can’t wait to end my term of service with the military so I can fully focus on growing my platform and giving back to the community that has kept a roof over my head. Did I mention monthly tattoo giveaways? That’ll be a thing now too! 

I hope you are as excited as I am for my return. Thank you so much for your trust in me and continued support. I won’t bother you too much over email- again, this’ll be a quarterly thing where I check in on y’all and you check in on me. Let’s hold ourselves accountable and work towards our goals together. If I learned anything on this deployment, it’s that you are not alone in this journey of life. I hope you will continue to follow me in the next step of my journey. Cheers!
