Earth Day & 10th Anniversary
As we rush from April in to May, there is a lot going on and coming up! Earth Day was April 22 and our 10th anniversary is May 3rd. Star Wars Day, Cinco de Mayo, Mother’s Day, Memorial Day and May Flash Day is the 28th! This year we only have the time to jump into 1 of those. We will be having a IG Live Client Appreciation Party for our anniversary, see details below. Check back in a week or two for the new May Flash on the Flash page.
Ink for the Earth: How Tattoos Reflect Environmental Values on Earth Day
Every April 22, Earth Day reminds us to honor and protect the planet we call home. While many people celebrate with clean-up projects, tree plantings or sustainability pledges, others express their love for the environment in a more permanent way – through tattoos.
Tattoos have long been a canvas for personal beliefs and identity, and in recent years, Earth inspired ink has become a powerful symbol of environmental consciousness. Designs range from delicate botanicals and endangered species to entire ecosystems and climate justice messages. For many, these tattoos are more than beautiful artwork – they are lifelong commitments to sustainability and a visible declaration of values.
But celebrating Earth Day in the tattoo world doesn’t stop with the artwork itself. More artists are adopting eco-friendly practices in their studios:
o Plant based inks and cruelty free pigments are gaining popularity.
o Biodegradable razors, compostable ink caps, and recyclable PPE are replacing single use plastics.
o Studios are reducing waste and switching to non-toxic cleaning products.
Some tattooers even offer Earth Day flash specials where a portion of proceeds is donated to environmental charities, making the art not just meaningful, but impactful.
For tattoo enthusiasts and artists alike, Earth Day is a chance to reflect – not only on what we put on our bodies, but also on how our choices impact the planet. Whether you’re getting an image of your favorite tree, honoring an animal at risk, or simply supporting a green studio, tattoos can be a powerful way to wear your environmental heart on your sleeve – literally.
10th Anniversary Client Appreciation Party
On May 3rd at 1 pm, Caroline will be live on Instagram answering questions and telling stories about her 27 years tattooing and 10 years owning her own shop. Back in the 90s, not many women finished their apprenticeships, much less continued tattooing in such a male driven industry. She has gone to more conventions that you can count, both in the USA and over seas. She has appeared on Ink Master twice, Rivals and Redemption, and sits on the board of the APT, the industry trade organization.
So, tune in to the Live event to hear the answers to your burning questions and exciting stories from Ink Master and many conventions. If you have any questions, comments or want to hear about any of her experiences, email RadiantEnergyTattoo@gmail.com or comment on the social media posts advertising the Anniversary.
