Jan 14 marks fifteen years of tattooing for me. Sometimes I feel like it has flown by and other times I can feel the life pulsing through memories of the everyday that felt not so everyday.

I’m so grateful for the life we have created together.

If I could go back and tell small Sarah what her life would be I’m not sure she would believe you…

To find yourself in a skill that can be sharpened for the rest of your life is a gift - the desire to dig deeper, continue learning, knowing you can never know it all… the worthy pursuit- I could not ask for more.

My deepest gratitude to all my clients, mentors, and friends… everyone who encouraged me to continue, stood in my way of giving up, and helped me see past myself and into the intention of craft.

To many more years!

Check out these sweet snaps of my bro Dusty Schwam bravely volunteering for my first tattoo. :)
