Trust the process!

This water dragon has been freehanded and flowing down his arm.

I can't wait to finish this one. This was fun and a great challenge! I loved every second of it so far.

Strength isn't the absence of struggle—it's what you become after surviving it. ⚔️

Hercules locked in battle with a giant serpent, brought to life in black and grey.

One of my favorite mythology pieces to date.

What legend would you wear? 👀

Some tattoos tell a story louder than words ever could. 🌸🌳

A mother shared with me how her son has always found comfort in his own little bubble beneath the tree in their backyard—a place where the world slows down, where he's safe, and where he can simply be himself.

It was an honor to turn that memory into something permanent.

Thank you for trusting me with such a deeply personal piece.

These are the tattoos that remind me why I love what I do. ❤️🖤

Every tattoo has a story. This one will stay with me for a long time.

Tardigrades have never looked so cute!

I have a soft spot for the weird, the wonderful, and the wildly misunderstood. This little water bear may be microscopic in real life, but today it's stealing the spotlight. 💚

Who else thinks science should be this cute and glittery?

Who else loves fun whimsical tattoos?

I know I do!

I also did the one on the back of his calf a little over 6 years ago!

This is one of my favorite pieces that I have done. I love the way the blues pop!

Fun fact: Did you know lobsters are actually blue?

I think he's very fitting in his gentleman attire.

I am currently scheduling for September! I do have some available openings left in August I'd
love to fill!

Some symbols never go out of style. 🦋💀

The death's-head moth has long represented transformation, mystery, and the eerie beauty found in darker things.

I loved every second of bringing this one to life.

For the ones who find comfort in unsettling stories. Somewhere between beauty and horror, where cherry blossoms bloom over things that were never meant to exist. 🌸🐌

A slow descent into something unforgettable...

If you know... you know..

Inspired by the unsettling beauty that every Junji Ito fan knows all too well. 🌸

🌹 Rose #2 is in the books.

This piece is the opposite color scheme of the first rose we did, creating a bold contrast while keeping the designs cohesive.

Rich reds, warm golds, and solid blackwork come together for a timeless traditional look.

I always appreciate the trust my clients place in me to bring these ideas to life. I can't wait to see what we do next!

It's almost the end of summer, lets get you fall ready with some new ink!

My client had an idea for her tattoo, she wanted these flowers and a dragonfly. She had an AI image design and was almost fully set on black and grey only and maybe or maybe not doing the dragonfly in blue.

So I did what I do best and I redrew the dragonfly in a better pose and drew the flowers she wanted represented in the tattoo with keeping the same vibe she was already in love with. And gave her the option for color with my best and honest opinion. So glad she trusted me in the process!

Fall is one of the best times to get a new tattoo!

Come see me at my new Studio: The Pale Moth Tattoo Studio.
