The time has come! Now that Berks County has been moved to the green phase, tattooists and other personal care professionals have been cleared to return to business.
CROSS KEYS IS FINALLY REOPENING!

After that point, I'll be reopening my books for new projects with existing and new clients. Thank you for your patience in advance...I'm gonna need it!

EDITED YET AGAIN:
DEFINITELY CLOSED. ALL FURTHER APPOINTMENTS WILL BE RESCHEDULED ONCE I'VE BEEN CLEARED TO REOPEN. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE. STAY SAFE AND HEALTHY FOLKS

Joking aside, please be safe and don't forget to tip service industry workers who will undoubtedly face increased financial hardship during this season. Peace and love, all.

[I always love tattooing nautical themed things and animals. Hit me with your coolest nautical scenes or ocean creature ideas!]
