“Look, Daisy! I have YOU on my arm!”

We absolutely love these photos—and even more, we love being trusted to turn special memories into something you can carry with you forever.

A little Disney magic, permanently captured.

We’re home! ❤️

We made it back safely from Kenya and are so thankful for all of your prayers and encouragement while we were away.

As we work through the jet lag and get back into our normal routine, please be patient with us as we catch up on messages and appointments. Thank you so much for your patience so far—we truly appreciate it!

In the meantime, enjoy a few of our favorite photos from the trip. We can’t wait to share more with you in the coming days.

Our hearts are still in Kenya, but we are thankful to be home. 🇰🇪

We’re officially on our way to Kenya! 🇰🇪❤️

Over the next couple of weeks, we’ll be serving alongside our friends in Kenya and checking in on the trade school project that so many of you have helped make possible. We can’t wait to share updates with you!

While we’re away, Lizzy will be holding down the fort at the shop and will be the only one responding to messages and calls. We appreciate your patience and grace if responses take a little longer than usual.

Thank you all for your continued support—not just of our shop, but of the mission God has called us to. We couldn’t do this without this incredible community.

We’ll see you soon! ❤️

If you’re wanting a piercing before I leave for Kenya, all I have left is a couple of spots on Wednesday during the day. Otherwise, I’ll be back to piercing the last week of July! -Melanie-

I have some unexpected time in the shop today. I’ll be here until 4ish. Feel free to stop in for walk-in piercings today!!

I only have a couple spots left next week before we head to Kenya for a while, so now is your chance!!

We’ve been getting a few messages, so we wanted to clear up some confusion about Sunday’s fundraiser at Sideshow Tattoos & Piercings.

This event is being hosted entirely by Sideshow and will be staffed by their artists and piercers. The Rising Tide crew will not be tattooing or piercing at this event.

We’re incredibly thankful that another local shop has chosen to support the Generation Next Trade School project in Kenya. That’s a pretty amazing thing to see in our industry, and we’re honored that they wanted to be part of it.

If you’re looking to get tattooed or pierced on Sunday, head over to Sideshow, support their team, and help support a great cause at the same time!

Thank you all for the support you’ve shown this project, and a huge thank you to Sideshow for making this fundraiser happen.

We have some exciting news to share!

Our friends at Sideshow Tattoos and Piercings have decided to host a fundraiser to help raise money for equipment for the Generation Next Trade School in Kenya!

In an industry where shops often operate independently, this kind of support means more than we can put into words. Seeing artists and businesses come together for a cause bigger than themselves is truly incredible.

This trade school will provide opportunities for young adults to learn valuable skills such as woodworking, welding, and sewing—creating pathways to employment and self-sufficiency for generations to come.

We are beyond grateful to Sideshow Tattoos and Piercings for their generosity, support, and belief in this project. Their willingness to step up and help make a difference is something we will never forget.

Please help us show them some love and support their event! Every tattoo, every donation, and every share helps bring us one step closer to equipping the school and changing lives.

Thank you for proving that community is stronger than competition!!

When local businesses work together, amazing things happen. Thank you, Sideshow Tattoos and Piercings, for helping us invest in the future of these students and their community.

UPDATE!!

We received several more donations today, bringing our total to $5,405 toward equipment for the trade school in Kenya!

Every donation, every share, every encouraging comment, and every conversation about this project helps move us one step closer to creating opportunities for students who are eager to learn valuable trade skills.

Thank you to everyone who believes in this mission and continues to support it. We are amazed by the generosity of our community and can’t wait to share more updates as we continue working toward our goal.
