Alleged to be db-spam, however there is enough coverage in independent sources that I feel the article would be better served by AFD as opposed to CSD. Listing here for community input. TomStar81 (Talk) 19:30, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep The claim to notability (oldest tattoo shop, various awards) as well as the sources presented clearly demonstrate notability. The article does not seem overly promotional, unless listing accolades is unacceptable. If some editors disagree, the best course of action would be to rewrite or reword the article, rather than delete it altogether. Toadspike (talk) 20:17, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep - The subject of this article is clearly notable and meets WP:GNG, having received significant coverage in multiple, independent, verifiable reliable sources such as Los Angeles Times, LA Weekly, Orange County Weekly, Long Beach Post, and others. That her work has been featured in four museum exhibitions, and is included in books on contemporary tattoo art is additional evidence that she is notable. If the article still contains advertorial/promotional tone or language, that can be cleaned up. The article should be retained in the encyclopedia. Netherzone (talk) 20:35, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
