This project was SO fun and mind-bendy. Jacob was an absolute trooper and very committed to the process. I'd love to do more work depicting trippy times in nature! Oh yeah, there's a coverup in there, can ya find it? Fully healed besides one touchup.

Real flowers done in fantasy colors for Dianne. Did you know orchids are one of the first flower types to emerge on earth? Done in one sitting, about 4.5 hours of tattooing. I'd love to do more mid-sized one-shot realism! #floraltattoo

I had the honor of giving my cousin Autumn her first TWO tattoos in one day this week! She sat still as a stone and chatted with me and her mom the whole time. This young lady is SO tough, one of my best first timers ever! It's always so special when I get to tattoo my family 💖

Booking June! ✨🌿🌸🌞
I will be instituting flat rates for smaller projects. I’ve broken this down in one of the slides. I will quote you at your consultation and that’s how much your tattoo will cost, regardless of how the timing actually works out.

Simple botanical fineline chest adornment for Ade ✨️🌿 she sat like an absolute boss for this, as usual. This took about 1.5 hours, and I enjoyed every minute! I'd love to do more delicate botanical based chest tattoos!

Thank you Mackenzie for being SO patient with the timeline on this piece 💖 I love doing complex florals on folks who trust the process. This took around 21 hours. Lilacs are one of my absolute favorite flowers and this was genuinely a joy to create, from start to finish.

Wren didn't know exactly what he wanted but likes bugs, Trash Polka style, stars, and red/purple 🪲🌟 It was so fun to revisit a style I used to do all the time back in the day.

Fun little splashy watercolor tattoo to commemorate Kevin's favorite "lands" at Disneyland. Bonus shot of a fully healed piece from 2 years ago. Watercolor tattoos hold up just as well as any other style when applied properly and protected from the sun ☀️🎨🖌 Be like Kevin, wear your sunscreen!

Bryna was on a dive and saw a little octopus mimicking a hermit crab. The experience really stuck with her so we turned it into a tattoo. This was such a fun concept to render, I love tattooing sea creatures!
