CRIMSON CITY TATTOO ❤️‍🔥
I’ve been thinking about Crimson City a lot lately, and I want to share something that has always been at the heart of what We’ve built here.

We don’t just create amazing tattoos.
We create amazing experiences.
That has never been just a "hashtag" to me... It’s the reason behind so many of the decisions I make here and the standard I’ve always wanted this space to hold. 🤝

When you walk through our door, I want you to feel welcomed, respected, comfortable and taken care of.
I want you to be able to sit in that chair, breathe, and know that you’re in good hands. The tattoo matters, obviously...but so does everything surrounding it. 🪾🌳

That means the way we communicate, the way we prepare, the way we keep our space, the way we treat our clients and each other, and the way we show up for our work. Those things aren't separate from the tattoo. They are part of the experience.

And as our shop continues to grow, I want to be really intentional about protecting that.
Crimson City is a place where artists can grow, where we support each other without rescuing each other, where trust is built through consistency, and where professionalism matters. It’s a place where we work hard, create beautiful things, have fun, and still have boundaries. Drama stays at the door.

None of this is new.
These are the things I’ve believed in since way before the beginning.
We are just making them more visible now, because the bigger we grow, the more important it becomes that everyone who walks through our doors understands what we’re about.

I want Crimson City to be a place that people want to come to. A place where you can feel the difference before you even sit in the chair.

Not perfect.
Intentional.
Not for everyone.
For the people who feel it.

Because at the end of the day, we want people to leave Crimson City Tattoo feeling better than when they walked in.

Heart leads.
Standards protect.
Consistency builds trust. Always.

We don’t just create amazing tattoos.
We create amazing experiences.
❤️‍🔥This is the heart of Crimson City ❤️‍🔥

Jon Barnes and Martyn have worked really hard putting together some awesome artwork, raffle gift certificates, and CC merchandise. Stop by, say hi, check everything out, and meet more of our outstanding artists. They’d love to tell you more about Crimson City and how to book an appointment if you’re interested in working with us. 🖤 Crimson City Tattoo

There are SO many amazing prizes, lots of fun, and plenty to check out...

And Jon is taking “Red” ... my truck — in our honor. He’s one of the very few people I trust with her, so I know she’ll be in good hands. 🥹❤️🥹

I’m going to sit this one out. The grieving is still top priority, and I just don’t have it in me yet.

But please go have some fun, support the people I care about soo much, and go give the CC crew some big love for me. 🫶

Directions and all the event details are on the event page!!!

Have some fun tomorrow. ❤️

On behalf of Kelley Healey’s one and only sister, we want to take a moment to acknowledge the World-Herald for sharing Kerrey’s story and helping honor her life.

We also want to recognize Kelley and her mom, Connie, for the courage it has taken to share Kerrey’s story during an unimaginably painful time. It takes tremendous strength to open your heart and allow others to see the person you love, especially when the loss is still so unbelievable.

Family means everything to Kelley. The love she has for her family, and especially for her sister, is something that has always been deeply woven into who she is.
Kerrey’s absence has left a giant gap that words simply cannot explain.

Kelley will be reaching out to her clients personally over the coming months as she navigates this loss and the new responsibilities her family is facing.
We ask for continued patience, grace, and understanding with her (especially) during this time.

For those of you who have asked how you can help:

Crimson City Tattoo will be a donation center for cash and checks made payable to:

“Kerrey Healey Beacom Children’s Trust”

100% of these donations go directly to Kerrey’s two daughters, Abby (13) and Mabel (6 months).

Donations can also be made directly at any First National Bank of Omaha location by depositing into the Kerrey Healey Beacom Children’s Trust.

Our hearts hurt for the whole family, for Kerrey’s parents, Kelley, her children, and her husband, Jonah, as they face a life they never imagined having to live, without Kerrey.

Thank you to everyone who has shown this family love, compassion, patience, and support. It means more than we can put into words.

If you would like to follow Kelley’s personal page and hear from her directly, you can find her at .crimsoncity

And all work inquiries are always handled through email: [email protected]

With love,
Crimson City Tattoo
