I know its getting to be winter, but I planted these strawberries the other evening for a dear artist friend from our undergrad days, we did printmaking classes together 🍓☺️🌿 #tattooer #tattooartist #tattoos #ladytattooers #qttr #queer #lgbtqia #lgbt #tattoo #strawberries #garden #planting #gardener
A femme presenting person poses with her new swelbow tattoo of a Strawberry life cycle in a botanical illustration style. The tattoo is all handpoked by me, no machine. It is outlined in black with full color and some black dotwork shading. The strawberries change from buds to flowers as they blossom and then lil unripe strawberries to full juicy ripe ones. I love the way this one moves and works with her elbows. She is a dedicated gardener and this one really belonged to her. So happy to do any and all fruity tattoos.

🎃✨️ Had some fun . . . Perishing last night 🌙 🖤 The veil is thinning my darlings . . . ☎️🍂🩸
Zoë, a pale red head tattooed non binary femme (she / they pronouns) poses for a small photo shoot in her bedroom. She thinks she is safe home alone getting ready for a Halloween party chatting with her friend on the aqua blue landline... but she has unexpected company peering in (a scream masked figure lurking in her hallway watching). Zoës long hair flows on her bed with a white fluffy blanket and dark purple ornate paisley floral tapestry. She was reading Oscar Wilde and painting her nails when her friend called to check in. The phone lays off the hook and her hand drips with blood. Her ankles are bound with the coil cord of the blue phone.

A pale femme with wavy red hair named Zoë eats a lil (big) vegan soft serve swirl ice cream cone at their local ice cream place. She is celebrating being vegan for 11 years!!! So cool! She is wearing a tie up black mini dress with a square neck line and a light blue sweater. The ice cream is on a vegan waffle cone and the cherry swirl is a dark red like her nail polish. She licks the cream tower enthusiastically. She is likely to return soon for another.

Zoë poses in front of a sunset window in a hotel room in Quebec with black mesh drapes and the light sinks in. She is topless with just a black knit sweater on her arms, around her elbows. The sunset golden hour light illuminates them on their boons and red hair. She is tired from getting tattooed a few days in a row, but it makes her look sultry. She has tattoos on her chest and her arms. She is pale and has red hair. There us a little lake view behind her from the hotel window.

Mother golden cochin hen looking down on fluffy baby chick... graphite drawing by me, it's a large tattoo flash design drawn on tracing paper and mounted with washi tape and toned paper. Photographed on my wood kitchen table with some plants and stones around. Botanical illustrative style. Close up of some frog and toad flash I drew in graphite. Cute vintage bottles and plants and black sand in a jar surrounding all my drawings displayed on my table. A flash sheet I drew in graphite pencil of 5 different chipmunk designs. Some of them are sitting, leaping, running, and perched on a branch. Two huge flowing tattoo designs i drew of datura vines with different butterfly species. The one on top is swallowtail butterflies and the one on bottom is painted lady (west coast lady) butterflies. There is vintage pink glass bottles, small driftwood, black sand, and other stones surrounding these peaceful dramatic graphite drawings which are mounted on paper with irridescent tape

My books open tomorrow (September 14th) at 6pm pst... wooohhh I've been so busy drawing yall, doing a tad more tonight, then gonna call it... I'm always so ambitious with this time I carve out for myself each quarter before my books open...⏳️ Time is so precious ⚰️🖤🪞 #tattoo #tattooer #tilthegrave
A grid of 4 close up images of some of the flash ive been designing and crafting away. I draw all my designs by hand on paper with a graphite pencil, shocker I know! I love traditional media so much, I've committed myself to them and they have held me so much over the years. So much about creating is so mesmerizing. I may not be a mother or ever want to be one (to human children of my own biology), but let me tell you, I am more than happy to just birth art for the remainder of however long I get in this life. The drawings are done in graphite pencil of varying hardnesses/softness, creating a beautiful grey wash botanical illustration style sketch. The top left drawing is of a close up of razor wire, rose, and spider/web. The top right image is of a golden lace hen mother looking down at her chick. The bottom left drawing is close up of a swallowtail butterfly and datura vines. The bottom right image is of a bunch of chipmunks hanging out on one sheet. There is colorful washi tapes, tracing paper, mounting paper, and some shades of toned papers throughout each photo.

A heart shaped image outline with white background. Inside the heart shape is a photo I took of myself in the backyard, a close up of my cheeks slightly poking out of my very short lacy ruffle black dress as I lift it up slightly, super flirty like. I am pale and have ass cheek tattoos that drape down the back of my thighs. There is detritus leaves decaying in the background and a huge rhodederon bush which already bloomed for the season in the background, and you can tell the pic was taken when it was overcast out, in true pnw fashion.

A pale femme with red wavy hair is posing playfully in front of a mural she spent 6, 10-12 hour days painting in the desert of eastern WA on the side of her papa's old workshop in her grandmother's backyard. She is wearing a strappy midi rusty orange colored dress with cute sweetheart neckline and a flowy black velvet and mesh throw with tassles drapes her tattooed shoulders. She has tattoos on her legs, arms, chest, and hands. The mural is done on a grooved wood surface, which was very thirsty when painting even after priming. The grooves took a lot of time to get right and she is pleased with her work. The mural is of two huge pale yellow and black swallowtail butterflies, one symetrical view and one from the side. They are flying above some pale blue periwinkle colored hydrengea bundles of flower heads and huge flowing dark green foliage. There are some pretty folksy orange ish red accents of dotwork below the shop window, and a sparkly star and half moon above the window, also in that red orange.
