25.01.2022 With no date of returning to work yet being disclosed by the government, Ill unfortunately have no choice but to cancel my next week of appointments and keep all following appointments as a TBA appointment at this time. Im so sorry. I cannot wait until Im given the all clear to start back at work. Ill be contacting all appointments for next week directly via messenger to confirm a rescheduling of the appointment dates for a time we are permitted to return to work. This i...s a very difficult time for everyone, myself inclusive and is something which is out of our control. I understand people have been very patient and already waited months for these spots and will do everything in my power to take this under consideration and work longer hours in order to fit people back in. No I will not work from home, so please dont ask. This would be considered gross negligence on my part and likely result in a fine. I will however be happy to respond to any messages, inquiries, quotes and concerns you may have via messenger. I appreciate everybodys patience and understanding during this time and will update everyone as I find out more. Thanks so much! Im going to go clean something now.. <3

25.01.2022 This pretty little abstract/watercolour rose was so fun to do!!! One of my toughest clients yet! Only happy conversation with this beautiful lady!

23.01.2022 Made this little charcoal number for the Art Aid fire appeal auction at Gippsland Art Gallery Sale! They had over 1000 donations, which is just amazing! Go check them out if you can, itd be worth it! Our local artists are amazing! <3 (Ps this piece is now framed and available to buy through them during their exhibition auction on the 15th of March x)

21.01.2022 Sweet little cover up with some freehand flowers

21.01.2022 From stencil to tattoo <3 more to come on this beautiful lass!

21.01.2022 A sneak peek at the flash sheet Ive put together for next Sunday! Get keen kids! Once a design is gone, it cant be used again! I dont want anyone having the same tatt as someone else ;) xxx

19.01.2022 **CLOSURE EXTENDED** please note: I will be closed until the 11th of May at the EARLIEST. Thank you so much to my March/April/May appointments for their patience. I cant express my gratitude enough. ... Ill be in touch for rescheduling ASAP.

19.01.2022 Everyone is popping up pics of old work theyve done while theyre unable to do new, awesome work... so heres a gap filler I did awhile ago on a really top bloke! This side was 2 weeks healed when I took the pic, and we were working on the inside... so he has some lines from where he was lying on his shorts. Not part of the tattoo

18.01.2022 I have now contacted ALL my booked clients with an appointment between now and the 23rd of November regarding CANCELLATION of appointments. However, there is ONE client I have not been able to contact, as a number has not been left and Im unable to locate the names via social media... If you have an appointment between now and the 23rd of November and HAVE NOT been contacted, please send me a message with your details so I can reorganise your appointment at a later date.... Thanks again everyone! Much love. Xxx

18.01.2022 ***CLOSED*** It is with deep regret that I must post this update. Yes. Begrudgingly I have to report our closure from 06/08 - 13/09 (minimum). Which means I will be contacting all appts between those dates with notices of cancellation and rescheduling. ... Im so sorry! I understand a lot of these appts have already been rescheduled from march/april/may appointments... I wish I had better news. Please feel free to contact me with any questions regarding appts or our policy with relation to the recent announcement. Keep your head up guys! Xxxx

18.01.2022 Hey guys! These fires are affecting everyone... so to show our support, we the team at Static Ink have decided to hold a flash day where all proceeds raised will be donated to the charities mentioned below! Much love from us all! Stay tuned for more info! Xx

18.01.2022 Its been officially announced. ALL TATTOO PARLORS must CLOSE indefinitely from midnight tomorrow. My dearest appointments for this week, next week and potentially the week after, I am so very sorry. Obviously Ill have no option but to cancel these appointments until further notice. It breaks my heart to do so.... I will be contacting each person individually and will work extended hours once this settles down, so you will not have to wait for many more months for a session. Thank you so much for understanding that this situation cannot be helped. Time to lock down along with everyone else... Again, please dont hesitate to message me regarding any inquiries. Happy to communicate over messenger throughout the coming weeks. Cant wait to be back in action! Much love. xxxx

16.01.2022 ***Winner of my full day session*** Is Terry Campbell! Congrats man, so exciting!! Thanks to everyone to entered the raffle and came today to support our charity day! We made $9300 from today and raffle tickets which is absolutely amazing...! All going to an amazing cause! <3

15.01.2022 How cute is this??! :D

15.01.2022 Hey guys! Patiently waiting for the next announcement today to confirm that we will still be working as normal in the coming weeks. Crossing fingers and toes that the only prerequisite will be constant mask wearing outside of your home for all Victorians as of tomorrow. This means you WILL be required to be wearing a mask to enter the shop and need to keep it on at all times during your session, as will we.... We understand that its not the most comfortable thing, but well comply with all regulations necessary in order to keep our doors open and our business running! I look forward to seeing everyones pretty eyes in the coming weeks ;) Thanks for your understanding during these uncertain and unfamiliar times! Xx

15.01.2022 A little bit of before and after revamping of script on a foot

14.01.2022 Hey yall! Ive put off posting this status for a bit until I got on top of all my cancelled bookings! I still have a few numbers to call on Monday morning (I havent forgotten you!!) And if you got rescheduled due to the Covid-19 closure and havent been contacted, PLEASE MESSAGE ME ASAP!! I really want to give these appts priority. I feel like Ive contacted everyone, but through my personal facebook, my work facebook, instagram, text messages, phone calls and phone message...s, sometimes its hard to re-contact absolutely everyone!! Ive messaged about 50+ people just this week! Haha. Thank you all for being so patient with me! Especially with designs and appointments. It helps so much.. xx Im currently booking for Oct, Nov and Dec and will close my diary again once these fill to prepare properly for another year! Hopefully with a little more structure than 2020 has given us! Much love to everyone. You can now message me regarding appointments (but please not all at once hahaha) and I will stive to get back to you asap. Thanks everyone! Good to be back!!! Xxx

08.01.2022 *EDIT* Thats it for commissions for now! Ive had an overwhelming response and am so, so very grateful for the beautiful people who have wanted to contribute! I... dont want to risk biting off more than I can chew! So for now, if youve contacted me and Ive responded, Ill be working on your piece(s) soon enough! If you havent contacted me yet, Im sorry but I have a bunch to get through first now before I consider more. Again, a huge thank you. This means so much to my family to still offer some financial support when I found myself without work xxx Hey everyone! As most of you know, our family has had an extensive payment to cover for my dads medical costs in China. So many of you have been so, so generous and Im grateful from the bottom of my heart. We are unfortunately still $7500 short and the closure of my work for the next 6 weeks has made further payments from our end near impossible... So! I will be doing commission drawings for the next 5 weeks!! All money made will go towards my dads expenses so itll be for a good cause! My rates will be A3: $350 A4: $200 A5: $150 This does not include framing, but pieces will come in a plastic pocket. This will be in black and grey only. (Medium will be charcoal or grey lead). Happy to do family portraits, pet portraits or something different if you have specifics in mind! Even shoes!! Inbox me for requests and feel free to share this status and share the love! Also happy to receive direct donations for his care. So grateful for anything. These times are so hard for everyone! <3 Xxxxxx

08.01.2022 Hey Guys! It breaks my heart to do this, but unfortunately we will be closing until further notice starting Tuesday! Non essential business are required to be locked down and this includes us. ... We arent exactly sure of how long this will be enforced for, but I have been in contact with all my appointments for this week to let them know of the necessity of rescheduling. All deposits and remaining money will be transferred to the next appt. time and I will strive to get people back in ASAP. Obviously this is out of our control and we wish we didnt have to close, but we know that everyone is under a lot of stress at the moment and appreciate your understanding during this time. We look forward to inking you again ASAP. Until then, stay safe, dont kill your kids/husbands/wives, enjoy a few bevs and finish that favourite TV series youve not had the time to watch. Much love xxx

08.01.2022 Hey guys! Sorry I needed a day to get my head around the latest announcement before I could post an update on my page... It is with a heavy heart that I inform all my beautiful, loyal and undeniably patient clients, that all tattooists in Victoria will be unable to return to work until the 23rd of November at the very earliest. Potentially longer. ... This is not only causing an immense amount of financial hardship, but also psychological strain on myself and all fellow artists. Of this entire year, Ive only been able to work 4 months and the rest of it has been spent cancelling and rescheduling a HUGE list of appointments. I understand that some of the appointments which will be cancelled between now and the 23rd of November, have already been rescheduled more than once and theres nothing I can say except that Im so, SO sorry. I know some of you have been waiting for a spot since January... some longer! I will endeavour to provide you with an exceptional piece of art as soon as humanly possible. No one could have predicted this. And what we are able to do is totally out of our control! I will be messaging each of my appointments which have an appointment between now and Nov 23rd directly to discuss rebooking, but itll take me awhile to get through. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding during these tough times! With regard to new bookings/appts. I just wont be able to take any until mid-next year at this stage. The last lock down set me back until March, this one inclusive will set me back until possibly June... Please be kind to us tattoo artists. We are doing the very best we can under the circumstances and can NOT tattoo you from home, just squeeze you in, go to your house to tattoo you, just draw up several designs for you while we have nothing to do or even tell you when our next available appointment is. Our waiting lists are several hundred names long. If you ask to go on a waiting list, please understand that it will be a CONSIDERABLE wait... This is the reality we are living in. We will be as fair as we can. We will work harder than weve ever worked before in the months to come. But for now, please be kind to us. We love and appreciate you all. Kind regards, Your friendly neighbourhood unemployed artist x

08.01.2022 I still have time today! Come down if youd like something done that isnt crossed off! :D x

03.01.2022 ***I AM MOVING*** Thats right! After almost 10 years of working at Warragul Tattoos alongside some of the most talented artists and beautiful people you could meet, Ive decided that for me, its time for a change! Words cant describe how thankful I am for the opportunity given to me by Warragul Tattoos. The patience and training at the start, to help me become the accomplished artist I am today. Also the constant support and guidance through the years, helping me to contin...ue growing and improving day by day. I will be forever grateful! Leaving a work family is always hard on the heartstrings... but I also cant help but feel excited for starting my new position at STATIC INK. I will be working alongside Aaron Norton and Shannon Mason in Aarons highly regarded shop in Traralgon from 2020! Keen to join the team and have the most positive outlook on life, creating the best pieces I possibly can with a new environment of talented artists <3 My diary for taking bookings at Static Ink will be open from the 16th of Dec. Love to you all. Happy holidays!

All appointments booked for next Monday and onwards will stay as they were if the people who were booked in are happy to keep those times and I will rebooking all cancelled appointments for the earliest t...imes Im capable to manage asap!

We couldnt have managed without it! Thanks everyone! Keen to get back into it! See you in the chair. Xxxxx
