Just a Romantic Collection of Words: An Author Event with Ashes Bardole
Wednesday, April 9, 2025 7:00 - 8:30pm
For years, tattoo artist Ashes has been more than just an artist. They have been a witness, a confidant, and a guide for those who enter their studio seeking more than ink. Their work isn't about traditional tattoo storytelling; it's about experience. Clients come not just for body art but for a space to feel, process, and heal. Now, Ashes is taking that experience beyond the needle and onto the page with their debut poetry collection, Just a Romantic Collection of Words, an intimate exploration of pain, release, and the transformative power of self-expression.
Ashes’ poetry mirrors the raw, unfiltered conversations that happen in the tattoo chair; the heavy moments, the quiet releases, the unspoken emotions. Their book is a collection of pieces inspired by these experiences, offering readers a space to reflect on their own journeys.
Through Just a Romantic Collection of Words, readers can expect a deeply personal collection that speaks to the power of self-expression, resilience, and healing through both words and experience.
