omg, thank yinz<3

We have been nominated for Pittsburgh City Paper’s 2025 Best of PGH and we are so excited! Thank yinz for thinking of us!

This our 9th year of being nominated for Pittsburgh City Paper’s Best of and our 9th year of business<3 As a very small business that started with money from selling my motorcycle; from storefront keys to first tattoo, I had 11 days to open our original location in Dormont, I cannot emphasize enough how much this truly blows my mind. Thank yinz 4-eva.

As requested, I am sharing the links below for the folx who reached out and ask that I help. There are quite a lot of fun categories to vote for however, in the past it has been hard for folx to find us among all the different voting categories. Nomination period end July 26th. If we gain enough votes we go on to final voting August 1st.

Either way I felt this was a nice moment to pause and share my gratitude for your support over these years and months.

Thanks to yinz our shop has already contributed to over 15 non profits and fundraisers THIS YEAR. It has been so fun to catch yinz at our pop ups, flash days, raffles, donations and sponsorships. Thank yinz for inviting us into your work places, favorite nonprofits and of course your skin! haha From the beginning we have been about community. So the community thinking to nominate us is very touching.

As many of yinz may know, I moved here while traveling/looking for a tattoo apprenticeship. I remember picking up a copy of The City Paper when I first moved here. I read about where artists and musicians were showing, job listings and local news. It is wild to be nominated for Best Tattoo Shop as well as Best Entrepreneur: Female. It is wild to feel like a part of this great place.

Thank you for taking me in Pittsburgh <3
