Dear Clients,

As many of you know Curtis has been a big advocate for Mental Health Awareness due to his own personal struggles. He has battled depression and bi-polar disorder for over 20 years. It is with a heavy heart that I let you all know that he passed away this past weekend.

Curtis tattooed thousands during his 16 year career. What some of you don’t know is that Curtis was his biggest critic, in every tattoo he saw what he could have done differently. He worked so hard to give everyone a tattoo they would be proud to wear forever. And worked tirelessly to build For The Love Of Ink into the successful business it is. I know this loss will be felt by many.

He will be forever missed, and will always live on in our hearts.

For those with appointments and deposits made, I will contact you all.

With love,
Shawnee

Reopening Update - With the new restrictions put into place yesterday, we will be closed until July 7th (in a best case scenario). All messages and phone calls will not be responded too until the lockdown is lifted and we will then begin rebooking all affected clients in order of previously booked appointments.

We apologize for any inconvenience. However, this is out of our control and we are equally disappointed with these restrictions.

Sincerely and stay safe,
Curtis and Shawnee

I regret to inform my clients that I will be shutting down the shop until the New Year. This is truly in the best interests of my clients as I am currently not able to offer the quality of work I am known for. This shutdown is needed for my own mental health. Every year I do a fund raiser for “Mental Health & Su***de Awareness”. I have suddenly realized if I don’t practice what I preach, the message is meaningless.

I know this is very disappointing for my booked clients and I deeply apologize. However, I must put my own health before providing a non-essential service or even income. I hope my clients can understand this. Shawnee will contact every client affected with rebooking options or to process a full refund of your deposit.

I hope this post will make other’s aware of their own mental health needs and the importance of self care.

Sincerely,
Curtis
