There is a better world at our fingertips! I will never give into nihilism. Everything and everyone we need is here, has been here. There is a better world, and it's calling for us!

Booking for May!

Handpoked (AKA stick and poke) tattoos are so special and intimate because they exist on a global scale. Evidence of tattooing has been found across the Earth; ranging vastly in significance, style, and application. We are all connected through art, and tattoos are an embodiment of that connection.

Handpoked fairy frog!! I love tattooing fairy creatures. Any animal can be turned into a fairy!! ANY animal. You can fight me on this, and lose, if you want.

I have a lot of time to tattoo you this May! Check out my IG @skullgunk for examples of my work, as well as my flash/one-off designs, available in my highlights. Thank you so much to all my repeat clients and referrals, you're helping me keep my dream afloat!!

Machine made angel for a lovely client, Scout. I have been having a wonderful time using machine lately. It is a whole different experience than handpoking, but I am getting the hang of it.

Do you prefer handpoke or machine tattoos?

Do you have any questions or problems you feel nervous/hesitant to bring up to your tattoo artist? Drop them down below and I'll do my best to give you an unbiased answer! I encourage other tattoos artists to engage with comments, as well.

What's more important to you: The tattoo itself, or the experience of getting it? Are they equally important? I'm always curious, and often ask my clients this.

Little comic I made about a button idea I had for cov!d cautious service workers who are tired of justifying themselves to rude customers. Mind your own business, we're not bothering you. You're acting like we're holding you down and forcing a mask on your face, we're really not. Chill out.

Fully handpoked wrap around snake tattoo!! Wow what a fun challenge. The stencil was so gnarly to figure out; I couldn't be happier with the results. More wrap around tattoos!! 🐍

Got to poke this lovely widow spider and two crows the other day. I fucking love my job. Drawing permanent spiders and crows on people?? Yes please.

Handpoked Palest!nian olive leaves for a wonderful return client, El 🫒

100% of profit from Palest!nian designs are donated to my friends in G@za ❤️

Keeping the original tattoo lines uncovered created such an interesting contrast, and I love it! I look forward to tattooing you again sometime :))

When I found out about Long Covid back in 2022, I began masking everywhere again.

I've heard way too many harrowing tales of being unable to leave bed, listen to music, or walk short distances, among many other symptoms.

I am unwilling to risk the quality of my life on a preventable disease. 😷

Tattoos I did at an event recently!! I'm super proud of the rat and crow, and it's always fun to do simple dot star designs.

With the rise of so many health risks in US society, I believe requiring masks + testing in collective spaces is one of the biggest forms of harm reduction we can take.

Covid cautious spaces are invaluable, because they take into consideration that you most likely can't afford to get sick.
