Tattoos by Haley Studyvin

As those of you who have spent any time over at 540 Hawkeye Ave have come to know, we are a pretty tight knit bunch in our studio. Shelby’s fiancé Mitch was a big part of that, and he has tragically passed away, leaving a Mitch-sized hole in the world he occupied.
Mitch was the consistent good that filled the space; he had the biggest smile, the heartiest laugh, the silliest jokes. Shelby was the love of his life, we all knew that. He visited her on his lunch break every single day, and we always exchanged goodbyes before he walked out the door. I never knew I would come to miss such a small fraction my day-to-day, but I’m grateful to have gotten to say many goodbyes, even though I didn’t know this time it was really truly farewell.
Farewell, Mitchy. Rest easy, and guard the hearts of all who cherished you.
Please lend your prayers, love, and support to Shelby, Mitch’s family, and all his friends and family, as they try to navigate this world without him.
🦷 To my clients and all potential new clients- I am taking a hiatus from booking any new pieces at this time. I need to focus on the people around me, and I don’t have the current capacity to handle more than what is already in my schedule. Thank you for your patience.

☀️Happy Saturday! I’m going to be getting through DMs over the next couple of days, I’ve been on a long stretch of work so I haven’t had much time to get back to anyone.
‼️CLAIMED‼️I did have a couple last-minute openings come up for this upcoming Monday/Tuesday during the day, if you want to snag a slot dm me!! Otherwise, my schedule is essentially full through September, and I’m only booking select projects for October at this time. I’ll likely be closing my books again until the end of September, where I’ll be booking for November-January🙂. Thank you all for your patience and support!
Some recent stuff from the last week⬇️

Hello, I hope you all had a fantastic 4th of July!I’ve got some exciting news to share- I’ve begun to open up some evening slots for small/medium sized tattoos for July-September. I’ve had to turn away quite a few smaller pieces to wrap up some bigger projects, but I’ve been able to make some space on select evenings throughout the summer.
These slots are good for things like paw prints, script/lettering/handwriting, basic designs, fine-line, etc. All slots are during the week and start at 4:00om or later. Dm me to snag one!!
My regular schedule is full until October with select dates left over August/September. I’ve been getting through messages throughout the week, if you’re waiting for a response please shoot me another message 🫶

I’m still getting through DMs and filling the rest of my summer schedule, buuuuuttttt… who’s ready for a flash event?? 👀 Details coming soon, this one is RIGHT around the corner! ☀️
