We bought a house! π ποΈπ
I normally try and keep my personal life away from my work Instagram, but without tattooing I couldn't have done any of it. Tattooing has brought me a lot of amazing things, but this has to be up there.
Thank you to every client, every booking, every recommendation, every kind word, every voucher purchase, even if I've never tattooed you but youve come along to an appointment with someone and we've chatted... All of it has amounted to this.
It's been rock solid managing a house alone, a studio alone, crippling tax bills and saving to buy solo - but we've busted everything we've got. 'We' being me and the velvet piggy Pearl, who despite being a snot bubbled crumb hoovering snoring specimen has come to work with me nearly all day every day I've worked.
If you've seen me the last two years and thought I looked tired/worn/haggered and sounded negative/whingy - deepest apologies, it's all for this and it's cost me a lot of admittance to the struggle bus. If I've stopped using your services and disappeared for a bit, or became harder to get in contact with - it was all for this and the graft.
Bigup to all my clients for wanting spicy pictures on em, the clients giving me 'dad advice' regarding DIY, the number whizz clients giving me mortgage advice, the clients enabling me to pick offit interior choices, the clients checking in and sending kindness always.
Bigup also to my absolutely rock solid circle of magpie trinket collection of friends - you know who you are (especially Sarah, poor cow). Love and appreciate you all, and also apologize for the late/early voice notes/mental chats/high and low dips/slow replies/rants/dafty moments/teary voice notes π₯²
Tattooing is class.
