It is with the saddest heart that I announce that Mike Tuten, creator of ROA Supply, has passed away. 💔
I want to thank everyone for your continued support. It has been Mike’s dream to build this brand, so thank you all for helping make his dream a reality. We worked so hard and I was so very proud of him.
A little reintroduction and history. My name is Shannon and Mike was my husband. We have been the sole owners and creators of ROA. Mike started making powder pigment almost 20 years ago. It was a crazy passion of his that drew more and more clients over time. Unfortunately, a year and a half ago Mike was diagnosed with stage 4 Lymphoma causing him to become paralyzed and brain damaged. Over the last two years I have been his sole caretaker while independently working to keep up with ROA orders and tattoo. On Dec 1st mike passed after fighting so long and hard. My heart is broken as I am now trying to navigate where the business will go from here. I will continue to create ROA pigments in his honor as long as I can. I will have many updates to follow as I transition through these bizarre times. You can continue to buy pigments from our dear friends and . In the meantime if I owe you pigments from the last week or so or haven’t received an order, please contact me directly at
Thanks again all for your continued love and support. Mike was so grateful to have been able to serve the tattoo industry with quality handmade pigments. RIP my love. 💚
