[@DeaBeanTattoos]

This was so exciting to watch! I just opened my own private studio with my best friend, so it's nice to see others' experiences too! Also I love all the plants that you have.

[@MikeRemaa]

where did you go to open your own studio ? & how much was it if you dont mind me asking

[@DeaBeanTattoos]

@@MikeRemaa In the Okanagan Valley in BC, Canada! The start up costs were quite a lot but our monthly rent for the space isn't too bad! ☺️

[@birdhousetattoo]

Thanks! Its been a labor of love for sure.

@@MikeRemaa A common place in our area in Portland is "Active Spaces" just make sure they meet the regulations and laws by your state/local for a facility license.

Love your opening up about the reasons for the shop. Makes perfect sense and your personality shines through. 👌🏽

You could definitely tattoo with one eye.. my dad has been for almost 20 years 😂

[@gingerrmariee_]

Really?? My buddy started his apprenticeship. Had a stroke. Lost vision in one eye and sadly left the shop. He was getting migraines. But also mentioned it might be all in his head. I want to see him do well and would like to have him on my team. Does your dad have an device

Did you work with a realtor to find this spot? I’m having a hard time trying to find a place to lease

[@BulletLinx]

I cannot even tell you how much anxiety I get from walking in to loud, over-bearing tattoo shop even though I ADORE tattoos. Not that there’s anything wrong with that vibe, it’s just not for me. Tattoo shops like yours is what would draw me in and help me feel relaxed and listened to. I love it! 🥰

[@JoeJosephTattoo]

That’s the point of counterculture

[@MrYoshirx7]

Its a tattoo not a therapy session i get why u might not like the average tattop scene but stop trying to turn it into some cofee shop pufda experience. I dont go to coffee shops blaring metal and being burly.

[@BulletLinx]

@@MrYoshirx7 idk why something I prefer is making you so upset but go off sis. Also, I do consider it therapy sooooo

[@birdhousetattoo]

@BulletLinx Thanks! We are kind of the "Anti-Tattoo Shop" Calm and relaxing vibe, safe for all!
