Multidisciplinary artist (illustrations/tattoos/comics) and maker. Werewolf by night. (she/they)

Ok there's quite a few more horror enthusiasts around these parts now so I guess I should introduce myself! I'm Dailen, I make comics and drawings (and more recently, tattoos), usually of things that make my brain go brrrr.

A reintroduction to our shop apprentice Dailen @dog.den.ink
Dailen has a strong art background and spent 10 years as a comic book artist before finding her way to tattooing. You can follow her page to check out her books! Her illustrative style has carried over from comics to tattooing seamlessly.

One* must imagine Laika, Patron Saint of One-Way Trips, frolicking in the cosmos, chasing the stars, basking in the light and sleeping sweetly in the cool darkness, space dust sparkling in her fur.

*it's me, I'm one, her story makes me too emotional otherwise lmao 💀

Hey Comics!

It looks like this year marks my last San Diego Comic Con. (Booth 708, if you're around and would like to say hi!) I just wanted to write a quick thank you to everyone who has made these years some of the most wild and special of my entire life. !

My partner's grandmother turns 90 next month and I'm attending her birthday in Nebraska and considering how conservative that side of the family is, I (a queer tattoo artist with a facial piercing) am planning to go off like a flashbang dropped on that party

My third month of tattooing draws to a close. 🐰♥️

Turns out the fabric I'm using for my wedding dress (that I got four yards of secondhand for $8) is silk faille lmao

Today's acorn is the last one for a week or two (I did them literally every day this week) but it's my best one yet so we're landing on a good note!

I need to hurry up and get good at tattooing so I can afford to send all my friends $100 😤

I'm less than 10 tattoos into my career but I'm seeing a lot of growth and I'm excited to keep going! Here are two of my favorites so far.

Tattooed myself today for the first time! This marks my second ever foray into skin 🥰 a little acorn for all the growing I'm about to do.

Thinking about a rebrand as I step farther into tattooing 🤔

I like the handle dog.den since it's a pun on my name but also I'm definitely known for drawing canids

I genuinely have so much beef with the recent trend of visible corsetry in ready to wear gowns because they NEVER ACTUALLY FIT THE MODEL

Working on refining the flash sheet I'll use when I take tattoo volunteers, but The Horrors have given me burnout and the wells are running dry. What's a small tattoo you'd like to have? Pitch me some ideas pls 👀
