Another update ✨

Since last touching base on this blog in the last update, I was describing finding new stability in my place tattooing and with life in general after going through a lot of instability months prior

I’m beyond stoked to be tattooing and working alongside the homies at the new Tatt Home, Old Soul Tattoo in West End. I also managed to get my Instagram app back in working order, so hugely stoked as well about that. The latest thing to really have a new wind in my sail, I’ve actually started making merchandise in-house

After over a year of grinding to setup Screenprinting and learn the craft, I’ve managed to setup DTF printing until I get the last equipment ready for Screenprinting. This might be a subject not many are interested in, but it’s relevant to my current update/s to share regarding everything going on in my life, both professionally & personally

I’ve captured the whole process of creating my first merchandise, which should be edited and uploaded to Youtube as a VLOG-type post to share, throughout this video, I’ll be going into more detail about my goals in printing merchandise, what DTF is and what I’m currently creating in that world of merchandised garments

In saying that, just as a huge goal has been felt to have been achieved, we recieved a bittersweet plot twist from our Real Estate; After 6 years, it’s time to pack up & leave by late-July

This is pretty gutting for several reasons, the main one for me being I FINALLY GOT SETUP WITH MAKING MERCHANDISE … and now I gotta pack it all up :(

So currently amongst Tattooing & setting up Print on Demand Merch, we’ve now got to as well navigate the housing market and move. Ideally, were hoping and aiming to print as much merch as possible until we have to leave, then hopefully & ideally we can setup Screenprinting & DTF printing entirely at the new location and not have to put any of the merch printing on pause

I’ve got a lot to share, including a new Zip up Hoodie, Tote Bags and Shirts that I’ve recently printed to sell amongst some other things, so I’ll be rolling all that out next

To summarise; Were finally up & running and ready to DTF print onto garments, I’m back on Instagram in the app again and weve got a hectic few months ahead of us were facing with a wing & a prayer

This Blog will eventually post things more informative centered around tattooing, but as well, there will be these journal type entries that for me are mostly here as catharsis

I’m grateful for everyone in my support network currently, I’m overwhelmed but more so eager to face everything weve got coming up and I’m looking forward to embracing what’s waiting for us on the horizon
