Coyote #tattoo I had the privilege of making recently. for many is a #trickster. For me, #coyote has always felt like a #phantom. A #ghost. A sign of a #crossroads directly ahead. One way almost certainly leads to #adventure, #chaos, and the #potential for #positive outcomes, choose carefully. 🌙✨
A black and grey coyote tattoo on a lower forearm. Coyote is seated facing the viewer and looking directly at them. Their tail is splayed out to the left. There is a warm but serious scowl on coyote’s face. The tattoo is about 7” tall. To the left in the frame, you can see part of one of the tattoo stations, the grey half wall with white baseboard and a colorful skull painting in a black frame hanging on it. In the tattoo station a corner of the tattoo table is visible, beneath it, the faux wood floors. To the right you can see that the client is wearing a black T shirt and black trousers. The forearm with the coyote tattoo is centered in the frame. This tattoo was made by an artist named Hildur Blom at Rabid Hands Tattoo in Seattle. Hildur loves tattooing all things, but she specializes in Black and grey scientific illustration style tattoos depicting natural wonders such as bones, bugs, sea life, animals, plants fungi, and such. I am new to creating these descriptions. If you are a low vision or blind person and there’s anything I could add to make these descriptions more accessible and engaging for you, please let me know! I love to learn and am notoriously long winded so I don’t mind writing more if it makes this more useful and enjoyable for you! Thank you! Love you all!

A #blackandgrey #BlueRingOctopus #tattoo from my flash for Jesse. Thank you for the love & trust! These tiny, mighty creatures are a beautiful analogy for healthy #boundaries. How do you respond when someone you love sets a boundary with you? How do you help them grow this skill? Love you all! 🌙✨

The octopus is centered in the frame giving the viewer a stern look and wrapping her tentacles around the clients arm. It is roughly 6 inches tall. To the right Jesse’s dark charcoal trousers and baby blue and white striped shirt are visible in the frame. To the left, the black backdrop is visible. This was tattooed at Rabid Hands Tattoo in Seattle by an artist named Hildur Blom.

This is my tiny #rescue guy #Charlie he’s smart, funny, #tiny, #mighty, #spicy, & incredibly sweet all at the same time. I am so incredibly lucky that when I leave the #tattoostudio this is one of the #beautiful souls I come home too. How have your #animals left a #positive impression on your life?
In the very center of the frame, is a tiny brown, caramel point chihuahua with a white muzzle and cherry cola colored nose. His name is Charlie. Charlie is bathed in a warm yellow lamp light and is lying his side on a warm olive green blanket looking back over his shoulder at the viewer with his head resting on the blanket as though he is gazing at you. His eyes are big, black, and shiny like a cartoon animal. Below him in the frame, the blanket is in view. Above him and in the background, to the left are a pair of sassy black boots with long fringe. To the right, the soft grey wall is in view. Charlie is a rescue dog belonging to the Tattoo artist Hildur Blom who runs this page. I am new to creating these texts. If you are a low sight or blind person visiting my page, please don’t hesitate to let me if there’s anything I can add to make my posts more engaging and accessible for you. I am notoriously long winded, so I don’t at all mind adding information if I missed something, and I love to learn new things, so if I can add anything to make my posts more useful and enjoyable please don’t hesitate to ask!

A #Jackrabbit #tattoo for Howl. Thank you for the love & trust. If you’ve crossed paths with #rabbit you’ve witnessed her #magic A silent knowing in her eyes. When have you dismissed your instincts & wish you hadn’t? How do you, like rabbit, connect to your own knowing? Thank you, love you all!🌙✨
A black and gray Jackrabbit tattoo, it’s roughly 6 inches tall and was tattooed on the warm toned, pale bicep of a very kind human named Howl. The jackrabbit is seated and looking at the viewer with a 3/4 view of the face. The ears are upright and alert. The rabbit looks relaxed and has an almost mischievous knowing in their eyes. To the left of the arm which is centered in the frame, there is a sliver of a view of the clients side. They are wearing a black shirt, and light olive green trousers. To the right of the arm, and behind the client is a solid black backdrop. This tattoo was made at Rabid Hands tattoo in Seattle by a tattoo artist named Hildur Blom. Hildur loves making all kinds of tattoos, but she specializes in black and grey scientific illustration style depictions of natures wonders such as animals, plants, sea life, bugs, bones, fungi and so on.

#skulltattoo with #gardenia for Natalie to match one with a dahlia from my flash. Thank you for the love and trust! Natalie is a teacher. It’s a joy to meet the #beautiful and #kind people of our community and in my own way, bear witness to the ways they shape our world for the better. Love you all!
A healed, roughly 6 inch black and grey skull tattoo. The skull is missing the lower jaw and most of its teeth. There is a gardenia blossom blooming out of the right eye socket. It is tattooed on the top of the pale skinned bicep of a very kind person named Natalie. To the left you can see tiny sliver of the black clothing Natalie is wearing. To the right, blurred in the background you can see a tiny sliver or one of the tattoo stations at Rabid Hands Tattoo. This was tattooed at Rabid Hands Tattoo in Seattle by an artist named Hildur Blom. Hildur loves tattooing everything, but she specializes in black and grey illustrative depictions of the natural world, similar to botanical illustration, and early naturalist illustrations.

A Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly. A beautiful allegory for growth. When they’re ready to change, they build a chrysalis, inside, their bodies melt to goo containing only memory. With patience they emerge. We’re all left in awe. If you feel reduced to goo, don’t give up. You are growing. Love you all.🌙✨
A black and grey Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly tattooed on pale cinnamon colored skin. This tattoo is roughly 4.5 inches from wing tip to wing tip. It is tattooed in a black and grey illustrative style similar to botanical illustrations, and early naturalist illustrations. It is tucked between a few black and grey botanical tattoos at a slight angle, and wraps around the lower part of a forearm to depict the feeling of a butterfly floating through a garden space. The arm is resting on the massage table which is covered by a medical table drape, and paper towels creating a white background. This was tattooed at Rabid Hands tattoo in Seattle by a tattoo artist named Hildur Blom. Hildur loves tattooing all kinds of tattoos, but she specializes in black and grey depictions of natural wonders such as plants, animals, fish, bugs, fungi, bones and so on. I am new to creating these descriptions, so if you are a blind or low sight person, please feel free to let me know if there’s anything more I can add to these to make my work more accessible and more enjoyable for you.

A Heron for Taylor. Thank you for the love & trust! I recently learned we have a heron sanctuary in Auburn! Where do you visit our animal, plant, & fungi friends? Take time to unplug & connect with nature this week, even if it’s feeding crows or looking for snails in your neighborhood. Love you all.
An etching style heron tattoo. The heron is standing upright and in profile view. It is tattooed using just black lines to depict the bird itself. The bird is standing in water which was tattooed in various grey tones using mostly shading to create a stylistic contrast between the bird and her setting. This was tattooed on the side of a pale shin. It’s roughly 8 inches tall and was tattooed on a very kind human named Taylor. Taylor is standing on the warm, dark wood floor in the lobby of our shop, and behind them in the center is a lush pothos plant, to the left is the corner of our dark wood church pew bench, to the right is a sliver of a soft grey wall with a warm white baseboard, and just above that slicer of wall is the moody reflection of a lighted lamp reflecting in the dark window behind him. This was tattooed at Rabid Hands Tattoo in Seattle by an artist named Hildur Blom. Hildur loves all tattoos, but specializes in black and grey illustrative tattoos that depict nature, similar to botanical, or early naturalist illustrations.
