13th Shopiversary!!
Holy shit, has it seriously been 13 years since the first people climbed these stairs and the most awesome Ashley came down from Canada to finish her back piece, respectfully becoming the first of so many tattoo sessions to come.. Trust me, Ive sorted through a fuck load of photos recently, theres been a lot of sessions.. Im excited for things in my near future and the future I couldn't imagine for myself yet, because tattooing is and will always be my first passion! Im currently living the life that was once just a dream to me and that is because of tattooing and my drive to do the things!! The tattoos that I get to create with my clients is a fuel to my soul that I struggle to put into words, and through that it has always given me purpose. #liveforthis
The sanctuary this shop has evolved into over the last decade is one of the things Im most proud of, cant say that about the first few years, that shit was ugly & rough! But like a lotus coming from the mud..... ohh look at the tattoo design analogy, that shit's classic for a reason! #zenasfuck
Im enjoying myself to much not on the Instagrams, I've gotten my brain, creativity, peace, and time back since detoxing from IG and my phone so dont expect an increase of me feeding the lurkers anytime soon.. BUT now that I spent all this time sorting 13 years worth of photos and videos of tattoos AND cats, I kind of feel like doing something with them...... Maybe I will share them on the internets, if you would like.. Maybe with a little music mixed in.. Maybe I could tell you a little more about these magical things I love so dearly called tattoos and cats.. It might require leaving IG for a few minutes though, if you need an excuse.. just saying.. #opperationantisocialmedia
Cheers Mother Fuckers!! To all clients, old and new, you have helped make this place what it is.. Its my honor to collaborate with you and help you tell your story too!! Lets make the next 13 years that much more fun!! #lucky13th

Aquarius Season is Here!
Im excited to get into this year, this Aquarius Season, and get some of these secret plans of mine out of the lab and into your life.
We have created a new online playground at HomeSweetFuckingHome.com and its not just about the sweet products we have made. It is now expanding into the hub for all our fuckery and help give you a place to go away from social media. You wanna know more stories, more about the tattoos we create, the crafts we have in the works, cats, and a whole lot more? This will be the place to find it all.
I shared my first video to kick off this Aquarius Season, sharing one of the new ways we want to play with visuals and sharing the words right from my fucking mouth!! Hehehehe (insert sinister voice giggling voice here). Click the link and check it out for yourself (there are kitties involved, just sayin’)!!
Peace, love, and penguins

Introducing Tats & Lucky Cats Marketplace: Sign Up for the Mailing List to Get a Sneak Peek!
On this beautiful Daria Day, today officially marks the beginning of an exciting new venture as the creative mind behind Always & Forever Tattoo Studio and Lucky Cats Rescue, Holly Jane, announces the Tats & Lucky Cats Marketplace. This unique marketplace will provide customers with access to handmade "Products with a Purpose."
The idea for this marketplace was born out of a desire to expand on the "tattoo sanctuary" created by founder Holly. As she unexpectedly welcomed the apprentice, Binx, into the studio last year, she found someone who shared her multi-passionate skills and offered her a "business mentorship," rather than just a tattoo apprenticeship. Now, they are ready to take their collaboration to the next level and create something that can benefit others in many ways - even if they don't have tattoos!
"One of the main inspirations of Lucky Cats Rescue is to be able to expand on the idea of the “Tattoo Sanctuary” I have created here and open it up in ways for others to benefit from, no tattoo required," said Holly.
Signing up for the Tats & Lucky Cats Marketplace mailing list will give our people exclusive previews and updates as this brand grows and evolves. Customers will be among the first to know about all new products and offerings, so don't miss out!
