Growing up, I always had an innate desire to dedicate myself to something completely, but nowhere to direct that passion. I was extremely blessed to have been taken in as an apprentice without even knowing how to draw. Through a delusional amount of delusional belief in myself, the support of my clients, and the direction of my mentors, I’ve now found myself the owner of Three Tears Tattoo. I owe every single ounce of my success to my ever loving and supporting clientele and the connections I’ve made with them, so I set out to open a shop that is geared completely towards them. Three Tears Tattoo is a shop where we have completely removed the intimidating atmosphere that is usually associated with most shops to deliver the most comfortable and familiar place for people to come and receive beautiful art etched permanently in their skin. We want no more than to sell an amazing experience that leaves everyone feeling like family when they leave, backed by our quality craftsmanship, at prices that are fair and affordable for all budgets. Now, I’m in a position to extend the blessing I was given onto my exceptional employees by bringing not only their amazing personalities and shared yearning for excellence into our industry. I’m extremely excited for everyone to watch us see our dreams through and the legacy we will leave.
