See enclosed screenshots of Wildwood Tattoo Parlour's Facebook Posts.

Wildwood Tattoo Parlour's 3rd attempt in 9 months at 'restructuring' came to an abrupt halt in December 2022 after its unscrupulous operators, Kristopher Clement Swain and Rachelle Alexandra Edwards Swain were raided by B.C. Interior Health and the City of Kamloops Business License By-Law Enforcement Unit for operating without a Health Inspection Certificate and without a Business License.

According to Wildwood Tattoo Parlour's own Facebook posts, the pair had been illegally operating out of 175 - 4th Avenue, #201, Kamloops, BC since October 16, 2022 without the mandatory cleaning stations, wash sinks or a Business License.

There are plenty of clean, safe, reputable and licensed tattoo parlours from which to choose in Kamloops. Choose wisely and avoid this pair of back-alley Scratchers!

Sources at Cooper's Foods (Save-On-Foods) in Kamloops, BC confirm that Kristopher Clement Swain (Co-Founder of Wildwood Tattoo Parlour, Snakehoney Tattoos and Snakehoney Reptiles) was employed by Cooper's Foods prior to becoming a tattoo artist and in fact was terminated for cause after stealing from the Kamloops grocer.

Swain can now add 'Thief' to his list of 'accomplishments'.

Just when you thought that screenshots taken from Wildwood Tattoo Parlour's own Facebook page documenting the abrupt June 1, 2022 shutdown of their shop formerly located at 829 Victoria Street , Kamloops, BC and Facebook posts to that same page documenting customers frustrated after their emails 'bounced back' from Wildwood Tattoo Parlour's email server, Kristopher Clement Swain - known in the community as being a Narcissist as well as a Pathological Liar, recently took to Facebook to play 'victim'.

In what can only be described as a rambling diatribe, Swain (who, along with Rachelle Alexandra Edwards left former gift card and deposit holders hanging following the March 2022 raid by authorities in response to Wildwood Tattoo Parlour paying their employees under the table and for tax evasion), claims that HE is the real victim of 'harassment' and 'stalking'. Just like with any Narcissist, facts don't matter - only their twisted narrative.

The fact is that Swain and Edwards posted on Wildwood Tattoo Parlour's Facebook page in April and then again in June acknowledging that they would not be returning phone calls and instead asking customers to DM or email them - claiming that they would get back to them when in reality, they were in hiding from authorities and their creditors since they were shut down June 1, 2022.

Even going so far as to post a fake business address in an effort to evade authorities and former gift card and deposit holders. That is, until, like most stupid criminals, they forgot to turn off the GPS Location setting on their cell phone which they used to update their website and inadvertently posted the actual location of their current shop to a Google snippet.

There are plenty of clean, safe and reputable tattoo artists in Kamloops from which to choose.

Just when you thought that things couldn't go any further South for Kristopher Clement Swain and Rachelle Alexandra Edwards, thanks to a recent sloppy website update, these 2 scammers inadvertantly revealed the actual location of their unlicensed and uninspected 'Private Studio' as a shanty decrepit outstructure (garage) located at (((REDACTED))) Kamloops, BC,(((REDACTED))) (see enclosed screenshots).

These 2 scammers are so hard up for cash (to pay their legal bills and creditors from their last failed 'business venture', 'Wildwood Tattoo Parlour after it was shut down on June 1, 2022 after being raided by authorities in March 2022 for paying their employees under the table and for tax evasion) that they're willing to bet that there are people stupid enough to get tattooed in such a shanty decrepit garage (in violation of City of Kamloops By-Law 9-60).

There are plenty of reputable, clean and safe tattoo parlours in the City of Kamloops from which to choose.

Since abandoning his last 'business venture' Wildwood Tattoo Parlour (formerly located at 829 Victoria Street, Kamloops, BC, Canada) after it was raided by authorities for paying employees under the table and for tax evasion; leaving deposit and gift card holders hanging; and not returning phone calls, texts or emails, Kristopher Clement Swain has turned to social media to troll for his next victims.

Just when you thought that Kristopher Clement Swain and Rachelle Alexandra Edwards couldn't stoop any lower, they have started listing a FAKE BUSINESS ADDRESS as their current address in search engine listings and other Internet sites.

After winning 3rd place in a 2022 contest for 'Best Tattoo Parlour' in Kamloops, these 2 scammers listed 106-1315 Summit Drive, Kamloops, BC as their current address. The only problem is that their former Landlord, Dean Houston confirmed that 106-1315 Summit Drive is a Doctor's Office and Swain and Edwards haven't been tenants at that location for 2 years and how they lied to him about why they abandoned 829 Victoria Street, Kamloops, BC on June 1, 2022.

Why would a legitimate business list a fake business address? Could it be that they are avoiding the Deposit / Gift Card Holders they scammed and left hanging?

As authorities and former deposit holders and giftcard holders of now defunct 'Wildwood Tattoo Parlour' close in on Kristopher Clement Swain and Rachelle Alexandra Edwards (now operating as 'SnakeHoney Tattoos') this pair of scammers recently took to Facebook to 'reassure' customers that 'all is well' (or as they put it: 'Love and Light').

In their latest Facebook false narrative, this pair of scammers actually had the audacity to claim that the reason why they can't publicly disclose the location of their new shop is because of its 'small size'. Seriously? Not because there are literally hundreds of angry deposit holders and giftcard holders of now defunct 'Wildwood Tattoo Parlour' who were left hanging when this pair of scammers shut down their last shop after being raided for paying their employees under the table and for tax evasion, right?
