It’s been 4 1/2 months since Tree passed. It’s with a heavy broken heart I post this..... sorry if this is long.
The shop is officially closed, was our life for so many years(2005-2018). I miss him as much as I miss you all. Thank you for trusting him to leave a permanent mark on your bodies. He truly loved tattooing. So many of you started out as “clients” but soon became part of our “tattoo family” that would help me with this loss.
I can’t tag all of you that have been there for me through this all, Facebook won’t let me lol from the set up and cleaning of the hall. But the big stuff from Randy Maranz being the MC, the Tuolumne mi-wuk Indians singing for me and our family, Josh, Ty, and Lauren. Black oak casino for the refreshments, and sound system. T&C signs for the stickers, UTLTRN Design for the perfect programs for his service and the beautiful prints of his artwork. Hell Bound Glory for the music. Also the VFW and VVA 391 and Aaron for making sure he had the proper send off that as a veteran, I know he was smiling.
I will leave the page open for awhile, feel free to post any of your memories or tattoos. I’ll be stealing them to make a memory book. Again thank you all for your support. It does help as I’m trying to figure out what is next in my life.
A personal note to West Side Ink..
Thank you for bringing so many great people into my life. Tree and I where so happy to be a part of your story. May your Ink live on forever 💕
