Brisbane Pop culture Tattoo artist blogs - What’s going on & update on life and things ✨
Heya! Thanks for checking in
This feels a lot easier since the last blogpost to write, as life recently has been fortified with a security I haven't properly felt in a while, so that's been really nice
Things are still moving like crazy, I'm trying my best to keep up, celebrating victories and learning from mistakes along the way
The feedback from these last shirts was epic!! Thank you all so much :D I've got a bunch of detailed, digital illustrations I'm curating for different items of merch and what will be on banners when I next enter exhibitions as a vendor amongst other things. I strongly feel from here like I'm moving from strength to strength with printing onto garments
The only thing that is really letting me down from companies I'm dealing with when it comes to moving stock and supplies, is Australia Post. My suppliers have all been beyond amazing and run great business for their clients and customers. However, Australia Post just can't be consistent, which leads to delays, which leads to incredible guilt & stress on my end for not foreseeing their new & reoccurring shades of inconsistent reliability
I'm really sorry for anyone waiting extra long for orders, I'm still learning as I go, I promise these delays are purely & only because of delivery delays of stock from Auspost. The excuse I've been given is apparently there is a lot of interrupted traffic from this booming, black market ciggie trade that's going on .. not too sure about that. Either way, I'm going to work towards being a bit more ahead of things in the future as Auspost can just indefinitely delay anything no matter the priority and it blows
If anyone is seeing an abundance of ads from me on Meta ... good!! ':D
I'm aware that I've been splitting myself with this new venture of merchandising, but to get ahead of what appears to be a lot of work drying up for a lot of folks, and with cost of living only getting more and more brutal, this has been something I've been meaning to do from the moment I lost all of my previous social media and had to start from scratch, is run an effective, sponsored ad campaign on social media
It's feeling like a relief to have it rolling out (shouts out to Tom @Bonehead Digital) & thanks to anyone who's been brought here from following me and showing interest
I'm currently booking new tattoo appointments in Brisbane from Mid March onwards, with a visit to my friends at Hello Stranger Tattoo in Rockhampton coming up. Leading up to mid-March I've got plenty of consult availabilities we can book in to discuss any tattoos you'd like to get this year
I'd like to end this one just touching on my apologies for anyone waiting for Merch, it should all be sent out this week (hopefully by latest Monday if Auspost can get their s**t together)
Huge love & appreciation 🙏🏻
See you here again soon :)
