There’s something I’ve been feeling for a while now—and if you’re a tattoo artist, you probably get it. When your creativity becomes your job, it can start to feel… contained. You’re still creating every day. You’re still doing meaningful work. But it’s all within the structure of appointments, client expectations, and finished pieces that live on skin. And that’s exactly why we started working on the Bone & Blossom zine.

October is one of the most exciting times of the year at Bone & Blossom Tattoo Studio Lombard IL. Halloween brings together creativity, transformation, and community—three things we celebrate every day in our shop. Tattoos have always carried deep ties to ritual and self-expression, making this season the perfect time to add some spooky ink to your collection.
