We always say we do things differently—and we mean it. At Inkvictus, we don’t just talk about community; we build it.
That’s why we regularly host a mix of free, ticketed, and pay-what-you-can events to bring people together, whether they’re longtime friends of Inkvictus or new faces looking for a place to belong. From our Safe Sip + Socials to larger gatherings where we raise funds for causes that matter to us, we believe in showing up for our community in meaningful ways. It’s not about making noise—it’s about making a difference. Whether it’s a casual hangout or something bigger, every event is rooted in connection, creativity, and the values that make the .is community what it is.
LOVE, BUT make it real 2/21/2025 @ 6-9pm 📍Inkvictus Studios 💲60
Let’s be real for a second - many of us know the harsh sting of loneliness, heartbreak, and disappointment all too well.
Maybe that was growing up in a home that lacked warmth, parents who struggled to express love, a toxic relationship that made us question our worth, or a friendship built on betrayal or lies.
the beautiful thing about healing? there’s always a chance to.
Our “Love, but Make It Real” event is here to do just that - build authentic connections with people who genuinely want the best for each-other. no strings attached, no expectations, just showing up for each-other (+ most importantly, ourselves) in the ways we may not have had the opportunity of experiencing.
oh, we have some fun stuff for you, too! 🔮 A Tarot Reading with Taryn, ⚡️ A Tiny Tattoo with Natascha, Mary Hannah or Bre (swipe for designs!), 🍕 A Slice of Milton’s Heart-Shaped Pizza (Veggie, Pepperoni, or Cheese) 💐 A Build-Your-Own S+S Floral Basket, 🍸 2 Cocktails/Mocktails with Spritz Mobile Bar, 💌 + moreee!

We are honored to partner with InterAct of Wake County, a nonprofit dedicated to providing safety, support, and advocacy for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. InterAct offers crisis intervention, counseling, emergency shelter, legal assistance, and essential resources to help survivors rebuild their lives. A portion of the proceeds from this event will directly fund these life-changing services, and we’re also hosting a Cleaning Supplies Drive to collect essentials for survivors transitioning into safe housing. Simple items like disinfectants, laundry detergent, and paper towels may not seem like much, but they provide a fresh start for someone reclaiming their life.
This event is more than just a fundraiser—it’s a testament to survival. It is for those who have carried their pain in silence, those just beginning to understand the weight of their past, and those who are choosing to heal on their own terms. We honor not only the people we’ve become but also the versions of ourselves that had to endure—our inner children who held on through the darkest moments. Today, we step forward together, not just as survivors, but as people reclaiming our voices, our power, and our worth.
Healing doesn’t happen alone—it happens in community. And in a world that often asks us to stay quiet, we choose to be loud. We choose to tell our stories, take up space, and lift each other higher. This event is about marking this moment—our resilience, our survival, and the strength that has carried us here. Through tattoos, storytelling, and shared experience, we come together to create something lasting, something meaningful, something that says: I survived. I am here. I will rise.
In a world that often feels overwhelming, finding a space where you can just be—fully, authentically yourself—is invaluable. That’s what Safe Sip + Social is all about.
This isn’t a networking event. There’s no pressure, no expectations—just a space to show up exactly as you are. Maybe you’ll find yourself deep in conversation about life, exchanging business ideas, pulling tarot cards in the corner, or laughing with new friends over shared snacks. Some might be crafting, others brainstorming passion projects they never thought they could get off the ground. However you choose to engage, you are welcome here.
So grab a drink, bring a snack if you’d like, and step into a space that values authenticity over appearances, connection over competition. This is about building something real—a true sense of community where we lift each other up, celebrate each other's dreams, and create lasting friendships.
Come as you are. Soak it all in. But please, leave by 9 :)
