Long overdue from our Colorado trip I don’t post much about my private life but I’ve been having such a fun time that i feel I should share bits about what goes on beyond tattooing!
To my partner @vaughnara33 whom I adore and love very much i just wanted to say thank you.
For being there, always.
I see you, and I appreciate you more than I say.

If there is one thing that I’ve learned about the ebb and flow of life… it is the importance of adaptability.

At times it feels as though I’ve lived five times over… though upon reflection, each time has opened my eyes to a more expansive vision. And has become a reminder of all that can be done. 

No matter the odds, giving up doesn’t reside here. 👁️ All for purpose. 

Hope everyone is enjoying their day! And thank you to all that see, trust,  and support the things I do. You rock 🤘

If you are seeing this on Sat. June 21st you can view more about what I do in stories 👁️ Either way… long story short, I do many things…. Including working on the inter-webs 😉 I’ve spent years defying the idea that I have to do things the way everyone else does and limit myself for a quick buck, being true to my own ideal of self in business, building community, and continuing to utilize my every skillset instead of one…. With that, I instead, chose to build my name alone that can lead everyone to what I do, from the ground up. Perhaps I’m mad, who knows, but I’d rather my clients and customers feel like they are a part of something and able to communicate with me directly. I read a review of business once that assessed I have approx 10-15 employees and make far more money than I do. Wild how assumptions happen, I just happen to know how to do some things and took pride in working my a** for years. No employees. Me. No AI involvement. My words. Anywho, with that I’m testing something here… Google me ( fun story, I’ve never had a Google ) do I take up real estate on your phone? I’d like to know where you are from as well. It will help me understand how to move better. 
Hope the day is treating you well! 
Thank you ✨🖤

I’ve had and seen a few of you asking about medspa services … I’ve always been very vocal and open about my choices in the things I do to make me feel good and confident in aging. 
Per usual, I cannot stress enough the importance of choosing the right Master Nurse Injector…  mine is @artistry_of_aesthetics and we’ve been together so long that inevitably a friendship has formed, she knows exactly what I’m aiming to achieve just by looking at me because she has come to know my face and preferences so well. 

And I’d like to add another note because I know I have a following that consists of tattooed, alt, models, diverse, LGBTQIA+, ect …. I’d really love for you to consider getting your services at @4everyoung_leawood  for a few reasons… here is my experience… the owners Barry and Allie are both knowledgable, caring, accepting, and awesome people that have an appreciation of tattoos and health and individuality. Walking in feels comfortable and inviting. Whether you are there for injections, fillers, IV therapy, hormone therapy, peptides, facials, laser… they seriously do it all. 

So if you are looking for a spa where you can be you and listened too, guided, and treated as a priority, this is the place for you. 

Hope everyone is enjoying their day! And hope this helps for those that are looking!

My morning living above the tattoo shop 👁️ life is good 🖤  And I couldn’t ask for a better partner to do life with @jasonphillipstattoo 

As usual I am continuing to do a bit of everything… not only can you find me in shop, I’m still taking clients for Vaughn Ara Cosmetics, and I can take one more Tattooer Webdesign client at this time. And of course Catalyst Artist Salve and Heal Tattoo Aftercare Salve are available at @evolvetattookc !

Feel free essage me or send inquiry through my website.
Hope the day is treating everyone well!

A true labor of love for the love of tattoos and natural skincare. Catalyst is NOT a mass manufactured private labeled product repackaged for the industry… it IS a crafted herbal infused formula utilizing ingredients specifically targeted for the health and application of tattoos.

 For use during tattooing..
-consistency allows for better saturation.
-keeps redness and inflammation down.
-will not clog needle groupings.
-wipes clean.
-natural scent.
-appropriate for sensitive skin.
-use less product and lasts longer.
-won’t affect stencil.

8 oz Artist Salve is for use during tattooing as a lubricant.
You will use less than other salves and the crossover consistency will not clog your needle groupings and it allows for better saturation. Catalyst will not melt and slide off of your glove. Applies smooth and wipes clean.

Lately I’ve been working on a few things:.. one being, finding the right accessories like these new sunnies and handbags to add to my line. I think we all know my aesthetic and choices in modeling are a bit unique to my personal eye … as one of my Photogs and friends Eric Berson said it’s ‘Dark Glamour’. So I figure let’s lean into it and see what can be created. 👁️

Good morning #evildaystar - late start 👁️
After my year of really breaking from social media it’s a bit harder than I thought to get back to it. Something about being physically present and not thinking to document literally everything is enjoyable. But part of me does miss it. It is pretty rad to get to live above the shop with my love and  best friend and also get to work and create within this self contained universe 🖤

Side note, some of you had asked when Fragrances were coming back… and they are ready ( both masculine and femme ) ✨ 
Fragrance sprays and ultra hydrating creams in the wheelhouse of leather , crisp green wood, mimosa, teakwood and rain. No matter what’s going on I still wake up with formulas on my mind. I’ve been working on some new things in cosmetics too. 

If you guys are in the area of Martini Corner stop in to Evolve Tattoo Collective grab some fragrances or tattoo aftercare and say hi! 

Hope the day is treating everyone well!

Sometimes you just need to reflect on all that has become… this time last year I could see my goals, though, it felt as if forward progress was not in sight. It’s an interesting place to know what you are capable of and the amount of work you put into everything you do, and still not feel as if it’s enough. 

So I burned down everything in an attempt to see what and who would still survive. And through this process I can say I’ve gained more clarity on what is meant for me, what skillsets I have that help foster growth the most, and where ‘being nice’ can lead to unrealistic expectation. 

At the moment I can say that I am in that place of the acceptance that comes after the personal growth. And thankful for the people that are still here and that I get to continue to grow with. 

I also, have come to realize that I am simply a multifaceted personality and personally I think it works to my benefit … all 5 star rated products, the support of clients for over a decade,  I get to help Artists with everything from web design to branding, team building, and creating ways to highlight the people that work just as hard. I get compared both positively and negatively to other businesses/brands and all I can say to that is… I have no desire to be anything other than myself with the business practices I feel most important. I’ll work harder if it means people over profit and I’ll always show up for those that are genuine in being a part of the process. 

A lot can be done in a year if you spend it mindfully.
