ABOUT
It all started with an accident! I left my phone unlocked on an opened Facebook market place ad, for a tattoo kit on sale. My toddler son decided to grab mommy's phone to play a kid's game. But he also sent an automatic message "is this available?" Turns out is was, my husband took over from there. Once he learned I have always been interested in learning how to tattoo. Just did not have the means to do so. The kit became my early birthday gift from my husband and children. Since in our local area tattoo artist are lacking, I have had to do allot of learning the old way step by step from reading and other resources. Luckily my cousin is a tattoo artist with twenty years experience, he volunteered to long distance teach me. So I am not with out help in my journey. And I am very grateful for him and all of his help.
The goal of course is to gain experience, open an actual parlor and adding to our local business community. I also hope to add a tattoo school to the establishment, so others who want to be artist do not have to struggle so much with out having available artist near by for apprenticeships.
We are based in Nebraska and hope that the parlor will be opened in Sargent, Nebraska. It just takes time and a few other things that are needed before we get that far.
Why The Product Lines
In the process of learning there is designing. As a business major I seen this as a building opportunity. As a artist a way to share my designs. The plan was to wait to build a webpage until the parlor was up and running however, the products needed another outlet for attention. And plans for a website where moved up to do so.
