Her customers come to her in Vilseck from all over the world to get a tattoo. That is why the planned withdrawal of US troops does not pose too much of a problem for them this time. It was different years ago when the troops withdrew for the Iraq war. That led her to the edge of her professional existence at the time.

According to her own statement, she has around 90% US customers as customers, but that is why she is currently booked for months. If the Americans really left, she is confident that German customers, whom she cannot give an appointment now, will fill the gap. Two things also give her confidence. On the one hand because she has confidence in her own abilities, on the other hand because she has her family by her side.
