In July, the establishment posted the following on Facebook.

"Well, it’s done! I removed the last of my things at the shop at 4:30 Thursday morning. I’m still exhausted and my body is screaming in pain but I feel good about the closing, although it is bittersweet. I will be taking a much needed break before starting to tattoo again. Thanks to everyone for their patronage and I appreciate all of the fantastic friends I have met since being at the shop since 1989. I will repost here on Facebook when and where I will be."
