Inkcourage started out with one person’s desire to help another. Our founder, Ange, was driving one day, thinking about how her friend was going through a tough time. She didn’t really know what to do or what to say, she just wanted her friend to know she was there for her every step of the way. Two months later, Inkcourage was launched with 30 encouraging temporary tattoos and phrases. She knew if her friend could wear this encouraging tattoo, she would know that someone cared for her and she could get through this tough time. Since then, Ange has traveled all across Metro-Detroit and the Midwest sharing Inkcourage. Six years later (to the date), Ange opened up the first Inkcourage store in Royal Oak with the goal of encouraging people every day.
