On this episode of Our American Stories, Tammy Harris always dreamed of making a living as an artist. After becoming a single mother, she traded that dream for factory work to support her daughter. Years later, she found her calling in an unlikely place: a tattoo shop.

Today, Tammy and her husband run their business with one guiding principle: people come first. Whether it's talking young customers out of tattoos they'll regret, creating deeply personal artwork that others refuse to do, or providing free restorative tattoos for breast cancer survivors, Tammy believes integrity matters more than profit. It's a remarkable story about art, ethics, and changing lives one tattoo at a time.
