Having watched and become a huge fan of the first 2 seasons of TLC's TV show "Welcome To Myrtle Manor", we took our family vacation this year to Myrtle Beach. Of course, while there, we stopped by the Myrtle Manor trailer park to meet the gang. We spent the better part of an afternoon, getting to know a number of the cast members better, and in conversation, I suggested that they needed a residential tattoo artist for the park in Season 3. It was "Miss Becky" that suggested I pitch it to TLC. With that being said, in further contact with other cast members who support this idea, with my clients I've shared this story with, and seeing that Myrtle Manor has been picked up for a 3rd season, I did just that. Within 24hrs of TLC's official announcement of the 3rd season, I submitted my pitch in writing to TLC's creative department about my interest.

Now, I'm looking for your support with my online petition. I need the support and ammunition to make this happen and present the findings of my petition to TLC, to show them that the public and viewers wants this to happen. It's needs to become as viral as possible so please pass this along to as many as you can.

I am a multi-award winning artist, with a flare and passion for people and art that is rarely seen in our industry. You can see my most updated work athttps://www.facebook.com/pages/Hellbender-Ink-Vintage-Tattoo/143144395713635.Never asking more of the community then what I'm willing to give back, charity endevours are near to my heart in helping everyone that I can along the way.

A big thank you to each and everyone of you who support me in this venture, and I promise to make you all proud.

Reaching this level of support feels heavy because it proves how many of you want this as badly as I do. The road to getting TLC to pay attention remains long and exhausting. I am tired but this momentum keeps me moving forward.
