Our Story

I started my journey as a tattoo artist back in August 2022.

I am what I would consider an ordinary everyday mom. Genuinely, I never imagined having tattoos, being a tattoo artist myself, or owning my OWN TATTOO BUSINESS! Sorry, I’m a little excited. Honestly, I wasn’t planning on opening my tattoo business, but I believe that it was meant to be, as the pieces to Storyline’s puzzle have just fallen into place. In this post, I want to share a part of my story with you and discuss what will come at Storyline Ink.

After spending almost a year as a tattoo apprentice, I needed a break. Life was busy, stress was high, and I was tired. I needed some time away from tattooing. A lot played into this season for me, but it became clear that I needed something different for myself. I loved tattooing and using my artistic gifts and creativity, but at the pace I was going, it just wasn’t sustainable for me or my family. So I stepped down and circled the wagons with my family. I wasn’t sure if I would ever tattoo again.

A few months went by, and I began to heal, and an idea that I shared with my husband long ago began to grow. Nik and I were driving (I can’t remember where), and I shared with him I have an idea for a name for a future tattoo business…Storyline Ink. A business focused and centered not on tattoos but on people and their stories.

Here are some of the values that are the foundation of Storyline Ink:
