I don't always get a tattoo when I'm in Myrtle Beach, but when I do, I make sure it's a memorable piece for someone special.… And man, I’m Glad Avery Was the One Holding the Machine
I don't always walk into a tattoo shop carrying a little extra weight on my heart, but this one was different. I’m Glad Avery Was the One Holding the tattoo gun
My family is down at the beach making memories, laughing, chasing kids, and pretending sunscreen is optional. In the middle of all that, there's also the reality that my mom is fighting breast cancer. Anyone who's been through that with someone they love knows it's a strange mix of gratitude, fear, hope, and determination.
I wanted something permanent. Something meaningful. Something that would remind me every day that strength isn't always loud.
That's where Avery at Wicked Venom Tattoos came in.
The moment we started talking, I knew I was in good hands. Avery didn't just hear what I wanted—she understood why I wanted it. She took a deeply personal idea and turned it into a piece of art that somehow says everything without needing a single word.
The shop itself was clean, professional, and welcoming. The atmosphere was relaxed, which was good because I had enough emotions rattling around in my head already. Avery's attention to detail was incredible. Every line felt intentional. Every decision had purpose. She took her time, answered questions, and treated the tattoo with the same level of care that I brought to the reason behind it.
Now every time I look at it, I don't just see ink.
I see my mom.
I see resilience.
I see family.
And I see a reminder to keep showing up, even when life gets heavy.
If you're looking for a tattoo because it looks cool, Avery can absolutely do that.
But if you're looking for a tattoo that means something, the kind you'll still be proud of decades from now, I'd trust Avery all over again.
Some tattoos mark a moment.
The best ones tell a story.
This one tells mine.
Stay strong, my friends. And if you still have your mom, give her a call. ❤
