Hi , for those that don’t know me my name is Shawna Moore. My husband Kyle Moore and I own and operate a very well established Tattoo studio in Dallas NC called S’Moore Ink. We have been voted The Best Shop in Gaston county for Five years running. We strive to change the negative views that are still cast down upon the Tattoo Industry. Our business is centered around providing a safe sterile environment for our clients and our employees. Each artist has updated certification in blood born pathogens, and the shop is regulated by the Health Department.

Our business has grown and I’m very thankful for the customers we have. However we need to expand so we can service more. The demand for Tattoos is high and we want to make sure everyone has safe options for getting their Tattoos/Piercings.

We have always had our sights set on Lincolnton , my home town, but we were met with the unfortunate answer of no. We began this process more than two years ago and have not given up. My intentions are to take this as far as I possibly can, and push to make this happen. With your help we can succeed in bringing an established, well respected , and amazing business opportunity to Lincolnton.

Please take the time to share this and sign. You do not need tattoos or even like tattoos to be a part of this movement. We need to stand up against Discriminatory opinions and seek change. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder!! No one has the right to deny you the Opportunity to open your business because of biased outdated views!

We offer so much more than just a “Tattoo”. We provide a safe place for a girls night out , an inclusive environment where every individual is respected , we adhere and Implement all health code standards of regulations to provide a clean sterile space , and we become your Tattooed family , alwyas down to be that listing ear with a supportive heart to fit any scenario that may have brought you to our shop.

This is a 1.6 Billion dollar Industry that lincolnton is currently missing out on and it has to change. We cannot sit back and watch as they allow permanent makeup (a method of tattooing) and then deny my style of tattooing(which includes permanent makeup). I genuinely feel that the current rules are outdated and Lincolnton is ready for a change. I also feel the major issue is the lack of education on this industry and I am more than ready to drop some knowledge.

Thank you for all the support we have received, we are forever grateful!

Be the reason someone smiles today ! Be inclusive to everyone no matter if they “look” different then you. Remember we are all human. The Tattoos on my body do not define my character or others who choose to wear art on their skin.

Good vibes as always !
