FAQs

What does your name mean?

At Ashes To Beauty, I believe in the transformative power of art and the healing journey it can inspire. The name of my shop holds deep meaning for me, rooted in both personal passion and spiritual inspiration.

My favorite type of tattoo is the art of transformation—covering old, unwanted tattoos, including those crafted in less-than-ideal circumstances. Many of these pieces were made in jail with real ashes, carrying stories of regret, pain, or simply poor execution. I focus on transforming these tattoos with high-quality ink and the skill of experienced artists, turning past mistakes into beautiful new creations.

The name “Ashes To Beauty” also draws from the profound message found in Isaiah 61:3. This scripture beautifully captures the essence of my mission: when we give our ashes to God, He offers us beauty in return. It speaks to the incredible ability of faith to transform our mourning into joy, our scars into praises, and our stories into resilience and hope.

At Ashes To Beauty, I invite you to embark on a journey of healing and transformation. Let me help you turn your ashes into something beautiful, both on your skin and in your heart. Together, we can create art that reflects your story and honors your journey.
