Hey everyone. As some of you may have seen, I have been struggling with my mental health for a few months. Over the past few weeks it's really come to a head, and I realised I need to update you guys.
I'm taking a pause from tattooing - DON'T LET THAT SCARE YOU! I have already been doing this silently but just needed to make it clear. I WILL be back at some point, but I have no set deadline. I'm hoping just a few months, if that. If you have vouchers, I will honour these of course ASAP when I'm back.
If you comment on this or message me, I will likely not reply, but please don't take this personally. I am truly in survival mode. I have a close support network of friends and family that are helping me through this. If you know me on a more personal level (i.e. we've hung out outside of work, you have my number) then a lil message would be appreciated but again I may not reply.
Not sure if I've written this very eloquently, for the space I'm in right now, I'd say it gets the job done. I love you all, I look forward to being Grace again and seeing your lovely faces. And if you're struggling: keep fighting for yourself. Advocate for yourself. And if you can't, reach your hand out of that water you're sinking under and let someone advocate for you.
