"I’ve never experienced healing through art the way I have with these tattoos. Living with Hidradenitis Suppurativa, eczema, allergic reactions, and having multiple surgeries has made it incredibly hard to love my body. It’s awkward and painful when people notice my scars before they see me. That’s why these tattoos have become so significant—they help me reclaim my skin, honor my strength, and celebrate how far I’ve come in my self-healing journey. As someone who struggles with body dysmorphia, feeling comfortable in vulnerable situations is not easy. But with Chris, I feel relaxed, safe, and genuinely joyful. I can’t stop laughing every time I’m there. The atmosphere that Chris, JB, and the whole team create is warm, welcoming, and full of life. They make you feel seen, valued, and understood. I’m absolutely in love with my tattoos. Chris corrected a piece another shop had messed up and added work that helped me see my body differently—more lovingly. His professionalism and care are unmatched. He explains everything, offers honest opinions, gives all the options, and still lets me decide what feels right. That respect means everything. These tattoos aren’t just beautiful; they’re empowering. They’re a reminder that I’m strong, that my body has survived so much, and that I’m learning to love the skin I’m in. I’m so grateful I found Chris—he’s my artist for life."
