2.3 Our fall issue is our best one yet. Of course, being a grassroots effort, we learn as we go, and the lessons have been incredible. We don't keep hours on these issues. We work on it whenever we can: on the road, in bed, on planes, in the morning, and at night. We both tattoo full-time, so it usually happens on trips and in all the little gaps between our regular working hours. We aim to produce an issue each quarter, with some serious life challenges the last year (first full year doing this journal). We are close to schedule but holding our top priority to this passion project... We want it to be good, feel good, and never be rushed or compromised to anything but our best efforts. No one needs to add stress to their lives. We make this journal because we want to. We enjoy the process and result and love hearing from our readers that they get something out of it. The confirmation posts, emails, and texts are amazing to receive.

Two adjustments have been decided on. Initially, we had the format of year and quarter, i.e., 1.1 was our first year and first issue, but was published in October. Our next issue in January was technically the second "year." but the first quarter 2.1... then 2.2, and so on. We are going to put it another way. This new and current issue is 2.3, but our fourth issue, so from now on, we will refer to each one in order. The next issue will be titled "V" (five).

The second adjustment is more significant. We don't have enough subscribers to cover half the cost of a year of production. Although originally aiming at subscriptions to eventually pay for it all. We have decided to remove that component. Each issue will be published and made available to you here on our site, and we are currently looking to add some retail locations internationally, like the UK, Australia, France, Norway, etc. We have a Canadian sponsor with Liz Venom and her company, The Deadly North Tattoo Supply. They have two retail locations and also ship internationally. Let us know if you would like to be an Olinjär location where people can come and get issues as they are published. We have ongoing current subscriptions and will fulfill those, but moving forward. We will make future issues available as they are created rather than asking people to subscribe to future issues.
