Losing a pet is a sour heartbreak. They’re family, comfort, routine, and unconditional love all wrapped into one. When they’re gone, the absence can be extremely difficult.

For many people, a pet memorial tattoo becomes a way to hold onto that connection. Something permanent, something meaningful, something that stays.

There’s a very real gap between wanting to do something and actually doing it. As artists, we live in that space a lot. We have vision and we have ideas. We have concepts sketched in our heads at 2am. We imagine the finished painting, the healed tattoo, the reorganized studio, the fresh start. But sometimes the studio is messy. The brushes are crusted, the pegboard is chaotic. The motivation just isn’t there. And yet action is what builds the life, not intention.

Hello friends!

I’m really excited to share something new I’ve been quietly working on. I’ve launched a blog on the Neon Lady Tattoo website, and it feels like a natural extension of everything I love about tattooing, art, and connection.

If you’re new to getting tattooed this information should prove very helpful, and hopefully bring clarity to the process if you feel overwhelmed and confused on where to begin. If you are a regular tattoo client and feel you know your stuff and have your aftercare routine down, perhaps you may learn something from this post. Or maybe discover a new product you hadn’t thought to try before!
