5 year update that genuinely feels like this. A lot of us are not where we were or where we ever expected. I hope that's a good thing.

🩺 Leaving nursing to tattoo was a surreal time when I actually put in my 2 weeks and did it. For those of you who don't know me, I was basically raised from birth under the understanding I was to go into medicine.
Dissecting turkey hearts with mom at Thanksgiving when I was 9, Knowing all the bones in the body at 10, getting my first nursing license at 17. After getting my degree and landing the step down icu floor I wanted and working through the pandemic I figured I had done my time and it was a good place to bow out.
Things get put into perspective when you faced the reaper so much and so suddenly.

id really like to update some of my older tattoo science videos and make some new ones! thank y'all who have followed me for so long and might even recognize the videos I remake!
It is kind of crazy observing how much the tattooing industry and social media in general has changed in the last few years. It seems everyone and their mom has finally figured out using social media and fighting the algorithm by playing it's game significantly helps staying booked. but that just means I have to up my game. not sure how I'll do that but I hope you'll follow and find out!

I started out making a lot of tattoo science neurodivergent/lgbtq friendly content and that won't change. and I'm so stoked to see more artists doing the same

we're all guilty 🦐 remember to elevate your client as much as possible to shrimp as little as possible, stay active and I'm so FR do physical therapy exercises for your neck, lower back and hands.
🍤 go forth shrimplings. Lest the footage never see the light of day.
