Gum ball machine is up and running! For the moment, I will be doing these as walk ins, but specific days/ times only. If you want to book at time get in on a get what ya get tattoo opportunity, I’m open to that as well. For the moment, these are offered by Linda only, this may change pending artist availability and interest. Currently there’s a mix of 1 of a kind customs and spooky season tattoos! Let’s put some ink to skin and have some fun while we’re at it! ~ Linda

I absolutely love return clients! Not only do I get to do new fun projects, I get to see my prior work healed or in this case still healing. This is probably one of my favorite pieces I’ve done in a while and I absolutely love how it turned out!
As always, let me know what I can do for you either tattoo or piercing wise, I got you! ~L

A little heads up on a couple things in the works…

1- the gumball machine is soon to be ready to go. Some designs are in and ready but more will be added and rules will be posted.

Basic rules (updated from prior post)
- $80 outline, $120 black n grey, $150 for color
- you get 3 “chances” and pick 1 design from those to get tattooed (it’s a get what ya get concept.
- get your tattoo

There are some of Matt’s originals in there, some spooky/Halloween themed design, and more will be added as soon as we get them ready.

Please message us with any questions!

2- I’m working on a HUGE discontinued jewelry sale! It’s a lot of work, so bear with me. I’m trying to make it as organized as I can so that if I’m not personally there, the other artists can still help you. These will be on a cash only bases. Due to the pricing, we will not be accepting cards for the discounted jewelry and all sales will be final. (More to come)

As always, let us know what we can do for you. We continue to be open by appointment for all your tattoo and piercing needs!

Hey guys, I have some exciting news that I need to share. After being flooded with requests. It's finally here. Chasing Dreams Tattoos now had a get what your get option for your tattoo needs. Everything in the machine is hand drawn and will only be tattooed once. So here's how it works. You get 3 turns for $100, and you pick one. (There are some great deals in there as well.) Let's do some something fun.

I get a lot of questions on if I will pierce babies ears and when is the best time to do such? As always, this is a controversial subject (no negativity please). My personal preference is to do them before littles is teething as at that point they tend to grab their ears a lot and this can cause many issues on its own or wait until the little has decided they want to get them done. Will I do them in between that? If the child is willing to sit in the chair (or in parents lap) and not move too much. I will not “chase” a little around the studio. We do not allow a child being forcibly held for a piecing, and we take our time to have the best and safest experience. Obviously at the end of the day, we want the client (little) and parents to have to most stress free experience and feel welcome.

Today I had the pleasure of piercing my grandbaby’s ears. Would I have preferred to do this when she was a little smaller? Yes, but we are still at a point that she isn’t actively grasping at her ears and healing will be monitored closely. (For reference, she’ll be 6 mo this week).

Ultimately, ask the questions. I will answer what I can, as honestly as i can.

Let me know what I can do for you! ~L
