I have a studio in West Bridgford called Sanctum Tattoo Studio, located right on Victoria Embankment next to Trent Bridge.

Today something flagged Facebook’s “intelligent technology” and immediately the account was suspended along with all associated accounts (our studio Instagram page, our studio Facebook page and my partner’s personal tattooing page.

We’ve lost 6 years of hard work building up our following. All access to our clients is gone. All our photos, videos, memories, messages, everything.

I have appealed it but after speaking to others about their experiences I have low expectations of it being reversed, especially not quick enough for it to not impact our trade heavily as we rely mainly on Instagram for our bookings.

If you can, please follow the new pages @sanctum.tattoo.notts and @spookitattoos and share it on your socials or with anyone you know who might be interested in booking a tattoo.

We’re also contactable via email @sanctum.nottingham@gmail.com and Whatsapp (I’m not allowed to share phone numbers here but it can be found easily on Google).

I feel quite sick about it and just need help making a jumpstart on rebuilding things.

And sure, we’ve absolutely learned our lesson on relying too heavily on social media for our trade.

I know my partner Jay (spookitattoo) will be running some deals & discounts in the near future to help bulk things back up again; we just want a few more followers on the page to ensure people actually see the offerings to come.

Thank you for taking the time to read this! It’s very much appreciated.

Please help me rebuild my businesses after we were banned on Instagram & Facebook today
