SmashTat began in 2012, while I was sitting on the living room floor with a roommate. I've always been fascinated with tattoos and my Pinterest board at the time was swimming with designs I loved but would never get permanently. ( You know how THAT goes, all talk over here!) The stars must have aligned that night because everything seemed to fall into place and the idea for SmashTat came to me. I was getting married and needed some extra money, my current job was slow so I had extra time, everything was perfect to get SmashTat up on it's feet.

I was just looking for something fun, a hobby. There was no immediate, big dream of one day owning my own business. But it blossomed into much more than I could have ever imagined!

It was about 7 months into the start of Smashtat that I made the move from California back to Utah for the summer. I took some time off of work for the move when I realized my little hobby had grown into a demanding business. Working two jobs had been getting to be too much, so I took the leap of faith to pursue SmashTat Temporary Tattoos full-time...

By investing more time into SmashTat I was able to watch it really develop into what it has become today. We have multiple online shops, sell internationally and are located in various brick-and-mortar shops all across the country (whaaat?!). Tattoos are printed locally in Utah and come in a 100% recycled kraft envelope. Every order is processed and packaged by little ol’ me in my home studio, likely in the company of our precious pup, Lily.

I can not believe the love and support I have received from the handmade community since starting on this adventure. I know that I am only here because of you and I am grateful for that every day! So have fun with these tattoos everyone! If you don't see the design that you would like, shoot me an email and I can work with you on a custom order.
