Fight dullness, show vibrant tattoos; this slogan is exactly what Mercedes Shavawn, our first brand ambassador will advocate. Average is not something our brand ambassador favors. A healed skin and an excellent organic product is all you need to stand out and showcase your tattoos.

Mercedes Shavawn from San Juan PR, is the beautifully inked founder and co-owner of Guiltless Ink, a tattoo parlor and a boutique Guiltless PleZure, both located in Charlotte NC. Mercedes  describes her jointly owned boutique as: taking style to another level, conquering the enemy called average! Showcasing fashion from designers all over the country from couture, to urban and indie chic.

Just check her out, and visit her also jointly owned (2012) tattoo shop Guiltless Ink to get inked by Tattoo Douggy a great artist combining precise craftsmanship with creative designs or cover ups.
Of course the full range of TATTOO BOOSTER is available and Guitless is distributor for leading tattoo supplies.

Mercedes is not only an aspiring entrepreneur but also a well known model, pictured in tattoo magazines like Urban Ink Magazine and Blackmen Ink Candy Edition which was the inspiration for the opening and discovery of the name Guiltless Ink.

Her beauty and exquisite androgynous made SULA NYC’s Patricia Reinders to contact Mercedes, resulting in the first brand ambassador for TATTOO BOOSTER™, showcasing the art of tattooing and the need to take good care of your skin.

Mercedes will be featured on www.tattoobooster, on you tube showcasing the amazing effects of our organic moisturizer for tattooed and pierced skin and she has a great Valentine’s offer.

Inspiring women all over the world to follow their dreams; this ambition is shared by Patricia and Mercedes.

Invest in Art!

A tattoo is one of the most personal expressions we have. It is art.
But unlike most art, a tattoo has no commercial value. 

A commercial 'pricing' aspect only occurs when you 'buy' your tattoo: for sure the contestants like Stephan Murphy and Steve Tefft -the winner- at Ink Master's TV show now have higher prices. 
That's the market: supply and demand.

Once you have a tattoo it's 'only' art. 
You can't sell it, trade it like a painting or a sculpture. 

You can show it off though; in daily life, at a tattoo show. For some of us, like  Mercedes Shavawn, there are magazines who want to pay you to be a model.
and for good reasons: sharing art with the ink community adds value.

Who cares it has no commercial value? It's not an investment to make money, but an investment in expression. A well done tattoo ages beautiful and always remembers you on the pleasure -or pain- related.  

And you can't brake a tattoo, unlike art,  but you can ruin it. Not following the advice of the artist in the first week: disastrous. Brooklyn's Al Friction told me educational stories - like long showers when fresh tattooed- i will never forget.

A healed tattoo needs maintenance, just like you wax an antique cabinet. 
Your skin needs to be nourished, to keep luster and softness. So moisturize.
May we kindly recommend TATTOO BOOSTER, organic skin care based on certified Argan oil. 

You owe it to your tattoo: keep it vibrant, keep it smooth!
