Sim1nk Tattoo Studio

🖤✨ 17 YEARS OF SIM1NK! ✨🖤

Friday 13th November 2009 – Friday 13th November 2026.

17 years ago today, I opened the doors to Sim1nk. Who would have thought that 17 years later, on another Friday the 13th, I’d be exactly where I want to be, in my beautiful, cosy little home studio. My happy place. 🖤

What an incredible journey it’s been!

17 years of hard work, dedication, challenges, laughter, tears and unforgettable memories.

I’ve watched my little business grow, moved studios, survived a pandemic and spent 13 wonderful years working alongside Tym and an amazing team.

I’ve met some truly incredible people, built lifelong friendships and shared so many special moments. Some of you have been with me since the very beginning and are still sitting in my tattoo chair today! 🥹

I’ve also experienced the heartbreak of losing treasured clients who will forever hold a special place in my heart.

Along the way, I became a mummy to my beautiful Phoebe Rose, my greatest little masterpiece. ❤️

Through every chapter, tattooing has remained my passion, my creativity, my escape and my sanity. It’s never been just a job. It’s part of who I am.

2026 has undoubtedly been one of the hardest years of my life.

There are battles some of you know about and others I’m quietly fighting behind the scenes.

Life is incredibly uncertain right now, and having to cancel or rearrange appointments breaks my heart. But sometimes circumstances are simply beyond my control.

What has overwhelmed me most is the kindness, patience, understanding and unwavering support you’ve shown me.

Thank you for not giving up on me whilst I navigate this storm. 🖤

After 17 years, I’ve realised that success isn’t about having the biggest studio or the busiest diary.

Sometimes it’s simply about finding your peace, doing what you love and knowing that despite everything life throws at you, you never gave up.

I’m incredibly proud of Sim1nk and endlessly grateful to every single person who has been part of this journey.

Happy 17th Birthday, Sim1nk! 🎂🖤

From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU for making my dream possible.

Much love, always.

🖤 BOOKING ENQUIRIES – PLEASE BEAR WITH ME 🖤

Thank you so much for all your enquiries! I’ve received your messages and will be working my way through them as quickly as possible.

I’ve been held up at the hospital today and will be home later than expected, so please bear with me whilst I catch up with everyone.

As I’m juggling lots of enquiries and waiting for customers to confirm their appointments before offering dates to others, it may take me a day or two to get back to you all.

Please don’t worry, your messages haven’t been missed! I’ll be in touch as soon as I can.

Thank you for your patience, understanding and continued support. It really is appreciated! 🖤

Much love as always,

Sim 🖤xx

🖤 DIARY OPENING UPDATE 🖤

Just a little update from me…

My diary opening will now be moved from 1st October to 1st November.

Right now, I need to take some time away from work to focus on recovering from spinal nerve damage, while also spending much-needed time with my family during an incredibly difficult and upsetting time in our lives.

At the moment, I honestly don’t know how well or how quickly I’m going to recover, or what the coming weeks are going to look like. A very important and much-loved member of my family is also critically unwell in hospital, so for now my health and my family have to come first. 🖤

For anyone who already has an appointment booked with me, I will contact you directly if I need to cancel or rearrange, and I’ll always try to give you as much notice as I possibly can.

My new diary opening date will now be 1st November, but I’ll keep everyone updated if anything needs to change.

Thank you so much for your caring messages, being patient with me, understanding and kindness while I take some time to recover and be with the people I love. I appreciate every single one of you and I am truly grateful to have such compassionate wonderful clients who I miss very much.

Hopefully I’ll be back soon as my body and circumstances allow. 🖤

Much love as always,
Sim 🖤xx

Morning all,
My response time is a little slower than usual at the moment. I’m currently clearing out my old studio ready to hand the keys back to the landlord next week, while also dealing with a family member who is critically ill in hospital.

I’m trying to juggle everything, and right now I just don’t have as much time or headspace to focus on messages and business enquiries.

I have received your messages and enquiries and I will reply as soon as I can. I just need a little extra time at the moment.

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding 🖤

✨ IT’S OFFICIAL — SIM1NK TATTOO STUDIO IS MOVING HOME! ✨

I’m so happy to finally announce that my brand-new private home studio has passed all required regulations with flying colours! ✅🎉

This means that from Saturday 21st August, my Ruskington studio will be permanently closed as I officially begin this exciting new chapter. 🖤✨

📍 From Tuesday 25th August, ALL booked appointments will take place at my new private studio in Billinghay.

Please don’t worry — your appointment date and time remain exactly the same. The only change is the location, which is just a short journey from my old Ruskington studio.

Over the next few days, I’ll be working my way through my diary and contacting every client with an upcoming appointment individually. You’ll receive:

📍 My new studio address
🚗 Parking information
🚪 Where to enter the studio
🗺️ Directions to help you find me easily

So please keep an eye on your messages if you have an appointment booked with me.

The new studio is completely private, appointment-only and has been created with so much thought, hard work and love. I genuinely cannot wait to welcome you all through the doors and show you my new luxury Home Tattoo Studio 🖤

Same Sim1nk. Same appointments. Same tattoos.
Just a beautiful new location. ✨

Here’s to a brand-new chapter for Sim1nk Tattoo Studio — Billinghay 🥂🖤

WE PASSED! ✅🎉

Love,
Sim 🖤 # # #

A little note from me 🖤

I’m sorry if my replies are a little slower than usual at the moment. Life is pretty full-on behind the scenes!

I’m currently getting one studio ready while closing another, still working, being a Mum, juggling normal everyday life… and unfortunately, I’ve also recently received some devastating personal news that has completely turned my world upside down and understandably added a whole new priority to my time.

There genuinely doesn’t seem to be a day where I get a chance to stop at the moment! 😅 I’m doing everything I can to keep showing up, keep things moving and still be present for my lovely clients — but sometimes there just aren’t enough hours in the day.

So if I’m a little slower getting back to messages, please bear with me. I haven’t forgotten you! 🖤 Your patience, kindness and understanding mean more than you probably realise right now.

And amongst all the chaos, I’m SO excited to hopefully welcome you all into my new little studio in just a few weeks’ time… assuming I’ve actually finished it by then! 🤣🤞🏼

One day at a time. 🖤

Thank you for sticking with me.

Today I’m so incredibly excited to finally share that Sim1nk Tattoo Studio is moving to a brand-new luxury private home studio in Billinghay! 🖤

Many of you have been with me through studio moves, COVID, becoming a mum, ongoing health struggles, the heartbreak of losing my beloved fur babies, Tym’s retirement and so many of life’s ups and downs. Through it all, you’ve supported me with kindness, patience and understanding, and I’ll never forget it. 🖤

As many of you know, my spinal condition has continued to deteriorate and I’m now facing the possibility of major back surgery. For a long time, I genuinely believed I might have to walk away from the career I’ve loved for almost 20 years.

Thankfully… I was wrong.

With the incredible support of North Kesteven District Council, I’ve been given the opportunity to create a fully licensed, fully insured, private home studio. It honestly feels like I’ve been given my future back. 🥹

🖤 What changes for you?

✔️ The same Sim Tattoos
✔️ The same passion and attention to detail
✔️ The same luxury, private appointment-only experience
✔️ The same high standards

The only difference is the location.

My beautiful new studio will be in Billinghay, less than 10 minutes from Ruskington, with private off-road parking and a calm, welcoming environment.

To every single one of my amazing clients… thank you. Thank you for trusting me, believing in me, supporting me through some of the hardest chapters of my life, and allowing me to continue doing the job I absolutely adore.

After almost 20 years of hard work and determination, this truly feels like my happy ever after. 🖤 It means I can finally build a career around my life instead of constantly sacrificing my life for my career.

For all my existing booked clients: Don’t worry everything will continue as planned. I’m currently creating my dream studio and I’ll contact each of you personally before your appointment with the new address and all the details.

I honestly can’t wait to welcome you all through the doors very soon.

Here’s to the next chapter… 🥂🖤

Love always,
Sim xx 🖤
