Quality Custom Tattoos

For years, we had a clock sitting over the door frame to our back room. It was the spot that our eyes were trained to go to as it got close to time for your appointment. Or to gauge how long your tattoo might have taken to do. It was intrinsic and instinctive for us to look to that spot, the spot above our doorframe, 20+ times per day.

Two years ago, we took that clock down and replaced it with the yellow “believe” sign. If you’ve ever watched the television series “Ted Lasso” (and if you’ve been in our shop any the last few years, we’ve definitely recommended it to you), then you know what that represents in that show. We put our own up, because we love the show and because we wanted a yellow sign to touch as we walked through a doorway. But our compulsions don’t change overnight. And 20+ times a day, we intrinsically and impulsively looked at that same spot, where our clock used to sit, to be greeted not with timekeeping but with a very simple idea: Believe.

Last night our community was devastated by tornados. A lot of folks will say that we lost everything. But I don’t think that’s true. Because we didn’t lose our belief. I believe that we’re going to come out on the other side of this okay. I believe in the power of community to help pick each other up in dark times. I believe in our ability and our capacity to do good. And mostly, while I don’t know what exactly the future holds, I believe Quality Custom Tattoos will be a part of that future.

As you can see from the first picture, the storm couldn’t shake our “believe” sign. That’s us in a nutshell. We’re going to be okay. We’re going to survive. We’re going to believe.

We’ve obviously lost our shop. We’re working on figuring out a way that we can still work. For those of you who have appointments in the calendar, I’ll be reaching out over the next couple of days to communicate with you about those. We’ll figure out everything as best we can. For everyone else, please bear with me as there’s a whole lot to sort through.

We love you. We will see you soon. We believe in you. We believe in us. We believe in believe.
