Mission & Values

At The Crafty Queer, my goal is to build a world where queer and trans people feel:

🌈 Seen – Because representation matters
🌈 Heard – Because our stories deserve space
🌈 Empowered – Because we are worthy of joy, love, and liberation

This business isn’t just about art—it’s about activism, community, and radical self-love.

Mission Statement:

Our mission is to create art and merch that affirms and empowers the queer community, celebrates its diverse identities, and inspires collective action. We are committed to spreading queer joy through vibrant designs, fostering inclusivity, and advocating for the rights of all LGBTQIA+ people. Through tattoos, jewelry, and art, we aim to provide a space where self-expression and activism meet, helping others feel seen, supported, and ready to take on the world with pride.

Values at The Crafty Queer

We believe art has the power to heal, empower, and connect communities. Our values guide everything we create:

✨ Radical Acceptance – We celebrate everyone as they are, centering those often marginalized due to gender, sexuality, race, or ability. Our work is rooted in inclusivity, affirmation, and visibility.

✨ Queer Joy & Empowerment – Queer joy is resistance. Our art, tattoos, and accessories are designed to spark happiness, confidence, and pride in identity.

✨ Self-Expression & Creativity – Art is liberation. We encourage self-discovery and storytelling through tattoos, jewelry, and designs that reflect the vibrancy of the queer community.

✨ Advocacy & Allyship – We are both artists and activists. Our mission goes beyond art—we uplift marginalized voices, educate, and challenge oppressive systems through our work.

✨ Accessibility & Care – We strive to make our art and services emotionally, physically, and financially accessible, offering sliding scale options and trauma-informed practices.

✨ Community First – The Crafty Queer thrives because of community. We prioritize meaningful relationships, fostering a safe and supportive space for queer and trans folks.

✨ Ethical Practices & Sustainability – We are committed to sustainability, using eco-conscious materials and ethical production methods to reduce our environmental impact.

Through creativity and activism, we aim to build a more inclusive, affirming world—one piece of art at a time.
