REMINDER: REFER YOUR FRIENDS & GET 💸

If you refer someone to me and they complete their service, you get your choice of:

$20 sent to you
OR
$20 CREDIT added to your account to use toward your own service!

And YES, you can keep referring people and keep earning. So if your friend is already talking about getting something done… SEND. HER. MY. WAY. And don’t forget, I also offer Cherry financing for those who need payments split up.

Cherry allows you to apply for financing and break your service cost into more manageable payments instead of paying everything upfront. So don’t automatically assume the service you want isn't in the budget see what options are available to you!

Basically… Refer your friends → earn money/credit → use Cherry if needed → come get the service you've been messaging me on and off about for MONTHS. Message me for booking/deposit payment, referral, or Cherry info! 🖤

I ORDERED MY CAP & GOWN YESTERDAY 😭👩🏼‍🎓 My completion date officially moved from 2/25/27 to 11/29/26.

I’m not going to lie, I am TIRED. Like mentally checked out, running on fumes, “why did I do this to myself?” tired. I can feel the burnout creeping in hard. So at this point, I have two choices: slow down and drag this out until February or pull myself up by my bootstraps, lock TF in, take on more classes this coming semester, and BE DONE. Obviously, I chose chaos now for peace later.

I’ve also been going back and forth about whether I want to continue on and get my doctorate. Part of me thinks, Well, I’ve made it this far… why stop now? But another part of me is realizing something I probably needed to learn a long time ago, I don’t need another degree to prove that I’m smart, capable, successful, or worthy.

Finishing my master’s is enough. My bachelor’s was enough. Everything I’ve built outside of school is enough.
I am enough. Maybe I’ll get that doctorate someday because I genuinely WANT it not because I feel like I need another accomplishment to finally feel whole.

For now, I want to let myself be proud of this one. After everything it took to get here, I think I deserve to sit with that for a minute. Now somebody remind me of this excitement when I’m drowning in assignments because I decided taking MORE classes while already burnt out was a good idea. 😂🤦🏼‍♀️ 11/29/26 🎓 LET’S GOOOOO.

Spending $600 all at once? ❌
Breaking it into manageable monthly payments? 💅
Basically free... (Kidding. Don't come for me.)

But seriously, if you've been putting off the brows, eyeliner, lips, SMP, or paramedical tattoo you've been wanting, Cherry Financing may make it easier to fit into your budget.

Soft credit check to see if you qualify.

One question I've been getting a lot lately is "Will you do a regular tattoo?" The answer is... sometimes.
If it's a tattoo for scars or stretch marks I'd absolutely love to talk about it. Those are the projects that truly align with my passion and the direction I'm taking my career. I really only take on skin tone floral tattoos because that's the style I'm intentionally practicing and continuing to master. As for regular tattoos that aren't related to scars or stretch marks, I won't take those on and that's by choice.

Not because I can't appreciate them, but because there are talented tattoo artists in the shop who specialize in exactly that. Out of respect for them, I'd rather send those projects their way. Everyone deserves the opportunity to make a living doing what they love, and I'd hope they'd show me that same respect with the specialty I've worked so hard to build.

So if your tattoo is helping transform a scar, stretch marks, or you're interested in one of my skin tone floral pieces, I'd love to chat. If you're looking for a regular tattoo, I'll happily point you toward one of the artists in the shop. Supporting each other is what a shop SHOULD do. There's enough success to go around.

One thing I'm incredibly grateful for is that I'm able to say yes because I WANT to not because I HAVE to. Tattooing isn't the job that pays my bills. I have two other careers that do that. Because of that, I have the freedom to protect the integrity of my work. It means I never feel pressured to say yes just for a paycheck.

And here's something that might surprise people...I've had clients become genuinely upset because I wouldn't go against my better judgment. I always try to find a middle ground. I'll explain why I don't recommend something, listen to what you're trying to achieve, and see if there's another way to get you as close as possible to your goal while still protecting the final result. But if we can't find a compromise then my answer is respectfully no. At the end of the day when you leave my chair, you're walking around with my artwork on your face.

I don't think a good artist is someone who says "yes" to everything. I think a good artist is someone who's willing to say "no" when it's in the client's best interest even if it costs me an appointment. I'd rather have someone walk away upset that I said "no" than have them live with a result that neither of us is proud of. I don't believe in doing work just because someone is willing to pay for it. I believe in doing work that I believe in. So please, if I give you my honest advice on why something wont work please take the advice.

A lot of people are surprised to learn that I don't use stencils for my PMU, paramedical work, or SMP. Every hairline/hair stroke, ar**la,scar camouflage design is pre drawn and HAND mapped specifically for that person. My job isn't just to tattoo. It's to listen first, then create a plan with you. One of the things I hear most is "I was so nervous to tell you what I didn't like about myself." "I felt vulnerable reaching out to you." Instead of focusing on what they dislike, we focus on a solution and how we're going to get them where they want to be.

Somewhere along the appointment, the trauma dumping begins. 😂 I say that with so much love because it means you feel safe. Usually something you've never said out loud before, weight you've been carrying, I love you feel comfortable enough to share things even your spouse doesn’t know! I've been told I'm one of the most down to earth people they've met. My goal is never to make you feel judged. People don't come to me just because they want a cool tattoo. They come to me after surgeries, hair loss, scars, breast cancer, years of drawing on eyebrows, or because they've spent years avoiding mirrors. That takes trust. It also takes time.

Those that apply through Cherry Financing get priority booking! Instead of waiting until you have the full amount saved, you may be able to divide your service into smaller payments through Cherry Financing.
The application is quick, soft credit check, and review your available payment options. Approval, payment amount, APR, and terms are determined by Cherry.

✨ Exciting News! ✨

I am so excited to announce that Hexe Ink will be a vendor at the Sisters Network Tampa Bay Annual 5K Walk Fundraiser (Tutu's & Sneakers 2.0)! 🎀

This event is dedicated to raising awareness, supporting survivors, and empowering those affected by breast cancer. As a paramedical tattoo artist, this event is especially meaningful to me because it gives me the opportunity to connect with an incredible community and share how services like 3D ar**la restoration, scar camouflage, and other paramedical tattooing can help restore confidence after life's journey.

Whether you're participating in the walk, supporting a loved one, or just stopping by, I'd love for you to come say hi! I'll be there to answer questions, provide information about my services, and connect with everyone throughout the event.

📅 Saturday, September 26, 2026
⏰ 7:30 AM – 12:00 PM
📍 4810 N. Himes Ave., Tampa, FL

I'm especially excited because I was actually referred to this event by someone who thought my services would be a great fit. I reached out to the organizers, and they welcomed me with an enthusiastic 'Absolutely!' I'm so grateful for the opportunity and can't wait to be a part of such an amazing event. Thank you to Sisters Network Tampa Bay for the opportunity to be involved.
See you there! 🩷
