**May Flowers & Tattoos: Why Spring Is the Perfect Time to Get Inked with Nature’s Best**

At our studio, we’ve noticed a beautiful trend: as the world blooms in May, so do our clients’ ideas for floral tattoos. And honestly, we’re here for it. Flowers are more than just pretty designs—they’re symbols of growth, strength, love, and transformation. Whether you're getting your first tattoo or adding to your collection, May is the perfect season to bring a little natural beauty to your skin.
**Why Flowers?**
Floral tattoos are timeless for a reason. Every bloom has a story. Roses are classic love symbols. Lilies can represent purity or remembrance. Peonies show off lush abundance and good fortune. Sunflowers? All about loyalty, energy, and light. Whatever speaks to you, chances are there’s a flower that fits—and we can design it to match your vibe.
**Why May?**
Spring is about renewal, and May is when it really comes to life. It’s the month of movement—of growth, of change, of stepping into the sun again. A lot of people use this time to mark a new chapter: healing, celebration, or just doing something for themselves. And a floral tattoo can capture all of that in a way that’s both meaningful and visually stunning.
Plus, let’s be real — spring is prime tattoo weather. You’re not bundled up in layers, your skin isn’t dry and cracking from the cold, and you’ve got time to heal before the summer sun really kicks in.

**Custom Floral Ink: Your Way**

We love creating one-of-a-kind floral pieces that reflect you. Maybe it’s a single wildflower to honor a loved one. Maybe it’s a bold bouquet sleeve to show off your strength and resilience. Whether you’re into fine line botanicals, bold traditional roses, or soft watercolor petals—we’ll work with your ideas and make sure the design blooms exactly how you imagined it.
**A Few Ideas for May Floral Tattoos:**
**Birth Month Blooms** – Each month has its own flower. For May, it’s the lily of the valley or hawthorn—both symbols of hope and protection.
**Botanical Pairings** – Add herbs or greenery like eucalyptus or lavender for added meaning.
**Black and Grey or Full Color** – Both styles have major impact. Let us help you choose what suits your skin tone and personal aesthetic.

**Ready to Bloom?**
If May has you feeling inspired, let’s talk. Whether you’ve got a fully-formed idea or just a Pinterest board of pretty petals, we’ll help bring it to life. Book a consult, swing by the studio, or shoot us a message—because just like flowers, tattoos can be soft and strong, bold and beautiful.
Let your story bloom this spring—one petal at a time.

Mother’s Day & Tattoos

May 10 is the Shore Saves fund raiser at Bar A from 12 - 4. Donate to help shelter animals and maybe win a Radiant Energy Gift Certificate! May 28th is Flash Day. The new flash is posted on the site and the socials.

**Ink & Love: Celebrating Mother’s Day with Meaningful Tattoos**

Mother’s Day is a time to honor the women who’ve shaped our lives with strength, tenderness and unconditional love. For many, flowers and cards are a lovely gesture, but for others that love runs skin deep. Tattoos have become a powerful, permanent way to celebrate motherhood whether it’s in tribute, memory or shared experience.
**Tattoos as Tribute**
From portraits to initials, birth flowers to meaningful dates, tattoos can honor a mother’s impact in deeply personal way. Many people choose to immortalize a mother’s handwriting, a favorite saying or even a childhood drawing. These tattoos serve as wearable memories and living alters to maternal love.
**Matching & Generational Ink**
Some mothers and children choose to get matching or complementary tattoos. From tiny hearts to shared mantras, these pieces symbolize a bond that transcends generations. For moms who embrace ink themselves, getting tattooed together can be a powerful rite of passage.
**In Memory and Celebration**
For those who’ve lost a mother, a tattoo can be part of the healing process, a subtle design, a favorite flower, or a symbolic image - like a bird, halo or heartbeat - can become a daily reminder that love doesn’t end with absence.
This Mother’s Day whether you’re celebrating your mom, honoring her memory or embracing your own journey through motherhood, a tattoo might be more than art, it might be legacy.

Beltane and Tattoos

Celebrate Beltane with a new tattoo, read the article below. May is EDS Awareness Month, so Caroline is sharing her insights with the world on social media. Flash Day is May 28th, next week the flash sheets will be updated. Rescue Pawloosa is at Bar A on May 10th, support your local pet rescue at this fundraiser!

**Beltane & Tattoos: Celebrating Fire, Fertility, and Fresh Ink**

As tattoo artists, we know the power of transformation—how intention, creativity, and a little pain can shape something beautiful and permanent. This energy aligns perfectly with Beltane, the ancient Celtic fire festival celebrated on May 1st, which marks the halfway point between spring and summer. It's a time of passion, fertility, and new beginnings—an ideal season to get a tattoo that means something more.
**Why Beltane Matters**
Beltane is all about life-force energy. Historically, it was celebrated with bonfires, flowers, dancing, and rituals to bless crops, animals, and relationships. It’s a celebration of growth, connection, and renewal—and for modern-day folks who still honor earth-based spirituality (or simply love the vibe of the season), it's a deeply symbolic time.
**Ink Inspired by the Season**
If you're thinking about getting a tattoo in May, Beltane can offer powerful inspiration. Here are some ideas that tap into the festival’s themes:

**Flames & Fire**: Symbolizing purification, passion, and transformation. Think glowing embers, stylized fire lines, or mythological creatures like phoenixes.

**Floral Motifs**: Hawthorn, mayflowers, and wild roses all bloom around this time and are tied to Beltane folklore. Perfect for those wanting delicate yet meaningful pieces.
**The Green Man**: A symbol of nature’s masculine energy and rebirth—often depicted with leaves, vines, and a wise, wild gaze.
**Sacred Symbols**: Spirals, suns, maypoles, and goddess sigils that represent life cycles, union, and creation.
**Lovers’ Tattoos**: Beltane celebrates union—romantic or otherwise. Matching tattoos, entwined figures, or shared sigils can commemorate a deep bond.
**Make It a Ritual**
Some of our clients like to treat their Beltane tattoo as more than just body art—it becomes part of a personal ritual. Whether it's bringing in herbs or oils that are meaningful to them, timing their appointment with the sunset, or dedicating the piece to a fresh start, Beltane adds a spiritual layer to the ink.
If you’re into that kind of thing, talk to your artist about how to bring that intention into the design. We're always happy to co-create something that resonates deeply—not just visually, but energetically.
**Your Body is Your Canvas**
Beltane is a reminder that life is blooming all around us—and within us. A tattoo at this time of year can be a bold celebration of who you are, what you’ve survived, or where you're going next. Whether you’re honoring love, growth, or transformation, we’d be honored to help mark the moment.
Got an idea burning in your mind? Let’s bring it to life.

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.

Easter Tattoos

Caroline, Casey and Melanie went to the New England Tattoo Expo and had a blast. Flash Day is coming up on April 23rd and Easter can be great inspo for a tattoo.

**Ink and Resurrection: How Tattoos Can Reflect the Spirit of Easter**

Easter, often seen as a celebration of resurrection, renewal and hope, may not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about tattoos, but the two can connect in surprisingly meaningful ways.
Tattoos are deeply personal expressions and for many, they mark turning points, transformations, or tributes to faith. Just as Easter tells the story of death giving way to new life, a tattoo can symbolize a personal resurrection; healing after loss, emerging stronger from hardship, or embracing a new chapter.
Common Easter inspired tattoos include crosses, lilies, lambs or even scripture verses – each carrying a deep symbolism of sacrifice, purity and spiritual rebirth. Others might choose less direct symbols, like butterflies or blooming flowers, to represent transformation and renewal.
Even beyond religious meaning, Easter’s themes can speak to anyone who’s ever needed a reminder that after darkness, light always returns – and what better way to carry that reminder than inked on skin, close to the heart?

Passover Tattoos?

While Caroline, Casey and Melanie are in CT for the New England Tattoo Expo, the rest of the world is getting ready for Passover. Well, part of the world anyway, which begs the question…How does that relate to tattooing?

Flash Day is April 23rd, check out the new flash sheets here… https://www.myradiantenergy.net/flash-sheets

Plus tax day is coming up… Have you taken Caroline’s Tax Seminar?

*“You shall not make gashes in your flesh for the dead or incise any marks on yourselves: I am the Lord”* – Leviticus 19:28

This is a passage that has been debated for years. Does it mean not to tattoo false idols or ancestors on your body for the purposes of worship? Or does it mean no tattoos at all, ever?
In ancient times, this passage became Jewish law to prevent the Israelites from following the religious practices of non-Jews and those of the nearby Baal tribe who were practicing ceremonial tattooing. For the last 1,000 years, it has meant “no tattoos at all, ever,” but there were 2,000 years where tattoos were not banned and between those 2 schools of thought, there was a time where it was seriously debated. So seriously in fact, that the debate continues today, butt consider this… Some archeologists suggest that there is evidence of Jews tattooing themselves without the intent of idol worship, but possibly fostering their Jewish identity.
The Torah was written in a timeless language for a reason, so that each generation could interpret it for themselves and build on the interpretations of the previous generation to further understand what God wants of them. So, in an attempt to become the most pious of Jews, past generations banned tattoos, but may have stunted the newer generation and prevented them from increasing piety and expressing their Jewish identities through body art. Can this further their own path of worship in a way that could be acceptable within the laws of the Torah? Just because a person tattoos an image on their body, it doesn’t mean they are idolizing it as more than what it is, a symbol, a reminder. Speaking of reminders, has the holocaust dampened the minds of recent generations to the point of continuing the ban? Is Gen Z too far removed to be bothered by that symbolism? It seems the debate is nowhere near over, but still going strong.
So, will we be seeing Jewish symbols and other Jewish tattoos becoming popular? What do you think?

Spring Skin Care

The New England Tattoo Expo is next week! Caroline and Casey only have a couple of appointments available. If you are going to be in CT and want a tattoo, book your appointment now before it’s too late!!!

Flash Day is April 23rd, check out our new Flash Sheet section for this month’s flash!

We haven’t forgotten about our Dice Roll Contest, it is once again being revamped to be easy and fun for all.

Dry skin is a common condition that can cause your tattoo to fade and lose it’s vibrancy before it’s time. Dry skin is caused by many factors that you can easily control. The following list of vitamins and supplements will help keep your skin and your tattoo in great condition.

**1. Vitamin C**
Some studies have shown that vitamin C helps reduce water loss and increases skin barrier function which will help prevent dry skin.
Vitamin C is necessary for collagen production.
**2. Collagen**
Collagen is the basic building block for your skin. It plays a major role in:
helping new cells grow
replacing dead skin cells
providing structure, strength and elasticity to your skin.
Studies have shown that taking oral collagen supplements daily increases skin hydration and eliminates dry skin.
**3. Vitamin D**
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that’s critical for many aspects of health, including the health of your skin.
The skin cells that make up the majority of the outer layer of skin are the only cells that can convert vitamin D into a form that your body can use. Vitamin D is necessary for skin barrier function and skin cell growth. This is integral to maintaining the skin which is your first line of defense in your immune system.
Some studies have shown that low blood levels of vitamin D are associated with dry skin, while other studies have shown that D supplements significantly improve symptoms of dry, itchy skin.
A study has shown that women with low vitamin D, also had lower than average skin moisture, but as their Vitamin D levels increased, so did their moisture levels.
**4. Fish oil**
Fish oil is well known for its properties that promote skin health. Supplements that have fish oil in them will reduce inflamation, reduce water loss and reduce itchiness. It will increase hydration, protect against sun damage, improve the fatty acid barrier and resolve scaling, cracked, dry skin.

The Oldest Shop in America

This week's woman in history is Kari Barba. Spring skin care is very important. New England Tattoo Convention is coming up for Caroline and Casey!

Barba on inspiration for tattoos, “It comes from the mixing of minds, from the client’s artistic ideas mixed with my artistic ideas.”

Kari Barba was born on July 10, 1960 in Minneapolis. She is now based in Long Beach, CA, having moved there in 1980 to pursue tattooing as a full time career. She began tattooing at the age of 19 and in less than 5 years she opened her first shop, Twilight Fantasy, in Anaheim. Like other female tattoo artists, she fought against the predominantly male industry by supporting women tattooists from the beginning of her career.
Barba’s renown illustrative realism style has earned her over 500 tattoo awards. “two time winner as Best Tattooist, and once as Best overseas Tattooist, all in my early career. I have owned 7 shops over my years and currently own the oldest continually running tattoo shop in the nation, second oldest in the world, opened in 1927.” She is credited with being a ground breaker, by being one of the firsts to add color to the realism style of tattoo, but more importantly, one of the firsts to wear gloves and wrap her equipment, thus driving the standards of sterility in the tattoo industry.
In 2002, Kari bought the location of her current shop, Outer Limits Tattoo, 22 S. Chestnut Pl in Long Beach, CA. This location opened as a photography shop in 1902 on The Pike, commonly known as the Coney Island of the West. Along with the family friendly amusements that drew throngs of people, The Pike also drew hundreds of sailors on shore leave. So, in 1927, the location was reopened as a tattoo parlor. The Pike began a steady decline beginning in 1942 with Knott’s Berry Farm converting to an amusement park and the 1955 opening of Disneyland. As The Pike was losing its allure to families, the patrons looking for the seedier side of entertainment, sailors and bikers, became more prominent. As did the amount of tattoo parlors. Many famous tattoo artists opened shops, the most famous being Bert Grimm who opened Expert Tattoo in 1952 and the location has been operating as a tattoo shop continuously since, making it the oldest continuously operating tattoo shop in the continental United States.
The Pike was completely demolished in 1979, coincidentally the same year Kari began tattooing, due to the increasing danger in the area and criminals looking for quick cash who began targeting tattoo shops and other busy cash businesses. Because her shop is the last remaining business from the original Pike, she and Matt Hand (the manager of Outer Limits) are trying to preserve the connection with The Pike and the Long Beach Naval Shipyard to “represent and honor the past of Long Beach being a port city.”

“Instead of completely modernizing it, we only modernized it enough so you could still have that naval feel when you come in.” She said.

Barba is trying to establish a tattoo museum. This will preserve the history of tattooing in the US and well as document the evolution of tattooing from the times when artists had to hide their flash to today’s AI imagery. She has created a board of like-minded tattoo artists to form the Tattoo Heritage Museum. They are scouting possible locations in Long Beach to house the permanent collections, but there will be collections that tour the world. In an interview with Sebastian Grewal, Barba explains, “This museum will host permanent collections and collections that tour all over the world and will be the only tattoo museum in the world that is not within a tattoo shop.”

Spring Skin Care

1. Kick dryness at night.

If you wake up with dry skin, moisturize at night. It’s easier to get ahead of a problem than fix it afterwards.

2. Cleansing cloths shouldn't be your first line of defense.

Wipes are more convenient, but not necessarily better.

3. Take your time when applying products.

Allow your moisturizers to absorb for a few minutes, especially if you use more than 1 product - ie. moisturizer and sun block.

4. The sun is responsible for fine lines.

Not only is the sun responsible for wrinkles, it fades your tattoo and burns your skin.

5. Vitamin C is your friend.

Vitamin C neutralizes free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can damage skin cells and contribute to aging, sun damage, and other skin issues. It’s a powerful antioxidant that offers numerous benefits for the skin, including brightening, reducing hyperpigmentation, boosting collagen production, and protecting against environmental damage.

Mother of Modern Tattooing

This weeks’ featured woman in history is Mildred Hull, the mother of modern tattooing. Flash Day is next weds 3/26 and don’t forget about the New England Tattoo Fest that Caroline and Casey will be attending at Mohegan Sun. Also, Spring has sprung! Time to ditch your winter skin care routine and start your spring skin care routine!

**“No, it isn’t a handicap to be a woman in the tattooing business.” - MH**

New York City, The Bowery, the intersection of Bowery, Chatham Square, and Division Street in the early 20th century. What would later become New York’s Chinatown was the birthplace of modern tattooing. At the time, the Bowery was home to a whole host of influential artists, who we now know as the founding fathers of the tattoo community, but for Women’s History month, we are going to discuss the mother of modern tattooing.
Born on April 23, 1897 in New York, Millie, as she was known to her friends, begins her story, “Ushered into the world 37 years ago on April 23, on a tough, tenement-choked Hamilton Street, not far from my present establishment, I was a sturdy little urchin from the word go. School never made a hit with me. After attending Transfiguration R. C. Parochial School and Public School 117, I quit cold at the age of 13. I don’t think the authorities shed many tears. They saw very little of me anyway. My resignation made my absence official.”
Millie found work as a burlesque dancer, but soon found out that she could make more money in the circus. She goes on to explain, “The operator of the tattoo parlor saw an opportunity to bleed me dry financially. I had a few weak spells as a result of the tattooing, but mainly I suffered anemia of the bankroll. The sideshow tout told me I was a sap to be like the other girls. Why, if I’d get tattooed all over I could make $80 a week with the circus, and that would be only the start. The figures made me a trifle dizzy.”

She was completely tattooed with a month by the legendary Charlie Wagner. She described the experience like this.

“They started with my arms. Two more treatments disposed of my legs as low as my instep. Spaced by days, there followed two applications on my thighs, the operation feeling like a mild burn as long as the needles made contact with my flesh. Then there were four more treatments, delicate, painstaking, on my sides and back. And finally color ran riot on my chest. Was I embarrassed to have these men treat my body? What does a woman do when she visits a doctor?”
In the late 1930s, after studying under Charlie Wagner himself, Millie opened her own shop in the Bowery. Her Tattoo Emporium was located at #16 Bowery in the back of a barbershop. It is rumored that tattooing was banned in NYC during that time which could be the reason most tattoo artists set up shop in tiny locations such as a back corner inside other businesses, under stairways and even in horse drawn carriages. The barber shop where Millie worked was a clean space with a male clientele, the perfect spot for the only woman tattooist in the city.
She became known as the Queen of the Bowery and obviously pushed the boundaries of acceptable female behavior. It is said that she was a member of the infamous Butterfly Club, a group of women (usually prostitutes) that had a butterfly tattoo on their vulva as a symbol of sexual liberation. Knowing the modesty of the times there is no proof, photographic or otherwise to confirm that this club even existed. Other influential and inspiring accomplishments were the mere facts that not only was she a self sufficient, employed woman, she was a talented business owner who ran a very successful business for over 25 years in a tough part of town that catered to the depravity of soldiers and sailors.
This makes her next achievement all the more impressive. In 1936, she was featured on the cover of Family Circle. This was a magazine that provided tips to help the modern housewife to run the home efficiently. In an age where almost all women were housewives, Millie’s fully tattooed body was proudly displayed for the masses, extolling the unprecedented determination to blaze a trail for other women tattooists and for women in general to break down gender barriers in other industries.

Unfortunately, of all her incredible successes, Millie lost her lifelong battle with depression. She committed suicide by poison in a Bowery restaurant in 1947.

"MILLIE, TATTOO LADY" IS FOUND DEAD HERE.
New York Times, Aug. 16, 1946

A woman said by the police and by former associates to have been known to countless seafaring men the world over as "Millie Hull the Tattoo Lady" was found dead yesterday in a rest room in the Gladworth Company, Inc., restaurant at 199 Worth Street. Her entire body, with the exception of her face and hands, was covered with Tattooing.

Proprietors of tattooing establishments on the Bowery said "Millie" had been known to them as for a long period as an expert in the tattooing "art," and had worked in a number of tattooing places. Sailors for whom she had wrought designs in the past sought her out when they desired additional tattooing, they said. Occasionally she took summer vacations to work in sideshows.

No one questioned by the police, however, appeared to know any other details about "Millie." On her person was found a savings bank book bearing the name Mildred Lee, but no address, and showing $135 on deposit.

When found lying on the rest room floor by Carmine Cerone, the restaurant manager, "Millie" was wearing a yellow blouse, blue slacks, blue bobby sox and brown and white sport shoes. Beside her, the police said, was a bottle of pills.

The police declared that she had been ill and apparently had died of natural causes. She was believed to be about 50 years old.
