Our hearts are heavy as we mourn the loss of LaVaughn of Royal Art Collective. The tattoo community is a close-knit one, built on shared passion, creativity, and connection—and this loss is felt deeply by all of us. We extend our sincerest condolences to LaVaughn’s family, friends, clients, and the entire Royal Art Collective team during this incredibly difficult time.
LaVaughn’s presence, artistry, and impact within our local scene will not be forgotten. This is also a heartbreaking reminder of how important it is to look out for one another, both inside and outside the studio. Behind every artist is a real person, and many carry unseen struggles.
Reaching out for help is not a weakness, and offering support can make a difference. If you or someone you know is struggling with depression or thoughts of self-harm, please know that you are not alone. In the U.S., you can call or text 988 to reach the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline for free, confidential support 24/7.
We stand with Royal Art Collective and our entire tattoo community in honoring LaVaughn’s memory. May we continue to support one another with compassion, understanding, and care.
**Let’s show kindness and support to LaVaughn’s partner and their two children.
