Tan Simmons

As a single Black mother to a bright, neurodivergent toddler, my tattoo business is more than just a source of income—it’s a reflection of my resilience, creativity, and commitment to building a better future for both my child and my community. Tattooing allows me to support my family while doing what I love, and it constantly challenges me to grow as an artist, entrepreneur, and role model.

This journey hasn’t been easy, but it’s been deeply meaningful. I’ve poured everything into my business—not just to succeed personally, but to create a space that uplifts others. I’m passionate about giving back, especially to youth and emerging artists, by using my platform to teach, mentor, and inspire.

This business is my way of building long-term stability for my son while creating opportunity, representation, and empowerment for others in our community. With your support, I can continue turning passion into purpose, one tattoo, one person, and one opportunity at a time.
