To my clients and friends,

The last few months have been a bit daunting, and I wanted to take a moment to speak honestly with all of you.

Behind the scenes, life has thrown a few heavy things my way. I’ve been helping care for my mother through a serious illness, dealing with being displaced, and working through a period where the future of the Black Bolt itself nearly slipped out from under me. It’s been a lot to carry while trying to keep the machines running and the doors open.

Through all of that, I’m slowly settling back into a steady workflow.

Right now I’m also putting time and effort into renovating the shop space. My goal is to make Black Bolt feel more welcoming, comfortable, and inspiring for the people who come through the door. A tattoo shop should feel like a place you want to be — not just somewhere you pass through.

We are also working toward a Grand Reopening, where everyone can come together and celebrate what the communities of Randle and Morton have helped build.

Most importantly: my books are open.

If you’ve been waiting to get something started, finished, or dreamed up, now is a good time to reach out. I’m grateful for everyone who has shown patience and support.

Thank you for sticking with me and with Black Bolt.

"I love bringing people's hopes, dreams, struggles, victories, losses and stories to life in their skin. I take a personal stake in making sure my clients are getting EXACTLY what they want. I guess, in short, people should get tattooed by me because I care. I want to see their ideas realized in the flesh more than I want to see their money... Tattooing completes me, without it I don't feel quite right." - Nathan Gilman, CCI Ink Magazine.
