17~ hours tattooing & 22~ hours of drawing time so far (starting both arms with 3 pieces so far)

I love tattooing because it pushes my limits as an artist. And each design always teaches me something new. I really want to take on more large scale projects this fall to get improve my flow and overall design skills

I currently have 8 spots left in October and would love to start some larger pieces! (Or smaller ones. I’m down for anything 🥰🩶) 🔗 for booking in bio

There’s a reason certain pieces of art haunt you.

Sometimes the art recognizes you before you recognize yourself.

Art speaks to our highest version, who we are meant to be, or the parts of our past that have embedded themselves into our being that we need to overcome in order to become our next greatest version.

That’s why we find ourselves attracted to certain custom flash pieces. Without any explanation. Something in you just recognizes it. Or sometimes, you create that meaning consciously upon seeing the design. And in that moment, you just know it’s meant for you.

Tattoos are so much more than just a pretty piece to look at. They are literally pieces of your future self calling out to you. Symbols of who you’ve been, what you’ve survived, and the person waiting beneath the surface. And every piece you add is another step closer to the future you’re building for yourself.

You don’t have to micromanage every single detail or cram everything you can think of into one piece to make it this level of special. Some of the most transformative pieces are born from pure inspiration, trust and desire for that version of you that is so aligned, so trusting in the future that the universe holds for them.

Maybe you didn’t find the “perfect piece”

Maybe it found you.

What part of yourself have you not embodied yet?

Sometimes a tattoo isn’t about just getting something pretty or trying to become someone new.

It’s uncovering something that was already there.

The animal. The archetype. The mythos. The darkness. The softness. The character you saw yourself in before you understood why.

Art has a strange way of recognizing us before we recognize ourselves.

I want to create more tattoos that feel like that.

Small soul stickers. Large flowing pieces. Animals, gods & goddesses, cinema, witchy & occult imagery. Black & grey, with more color creeping in. 🖤

October books are open.

If something has been stirring beneath the surface, let it come up for air ✨

When you get a tattoo to memorialize someone incredibly special and close to your heart, that’s a moment when the entire process turns into a transformation.
•
Getting tattoos can be such a healing process and this is one of my favorite ways to make tattoos extra healing
•
Adding special nods to your loved one throughout the tattoo, makes the tattoo feel as if you have them even closer to your heart.
•
Would you get a tattoo to remember someone close to your heart? 🫀
•
Thank you Jennifer Campbell for trusting me with such a meaningful piece to represent your dad 🩶🩶🩶

•
When you take good care of your skin, I can always tell! Not only do I notice with the first glance, but when I start tattooing, your skin spills all of your secrets. ✨
•
People don’t always realize the importance of pre care when it comes to tattooing.
•
A good skincare routine doesn’t just focus on your face, and it also doesn’t just revolve around tattoos or the areas you get tattooed.
•
Proper skincare starts from the inside out. Always.
•
Hydration
Nutrition
A stress free environment
•
Everything you do daily shows up on your skin.
•
So, if you want your tattoos to heal well, start treating your skin well.
•
What I always suggest for my clients is to:

•Stay well hydrated with mineralized water and fruit (more electrolytes=more hydration. & no you don’t need those questionable drink packets)
•Moisturize daily
• get your greens in
•Avoid over exfoliating right before your appointment
•No acid treatments or spray tanning days leading to your appointment
•Avoid sunburns (or rather getting tattooed over a sunburn. Bad idea)
• get good sleep and keep a stress free environment as much as possible

I always get so excited about sharing my larger pieces that I forget about some of the smaller little relics I create in between. 🖤

I think a lot of people assume I don’t want to do smaller tattoos, or that I only want the big elaborate projects. (Which hello, of course I want to do more!🩶) But the honestly, I’ve always loved the tiny ones too.

There’s something special about taking a small idea, symbol, memory, or little piece of someone’s world and turning it into something they’ll carry forever.

Not every tattoo needs to take up an entire chapter.

Some only need a sentence. ✨

And I think I’ll always love creating both.

My niece got her first tattoo back in June!🥹 it still doesn’t feel real. 😩🖤 (also notice, how cool the body is. Just because something looks straight in one position, doesn’t make it “straight” in tattoo-land)
•
Going from designated baby sitter-aunt to designated tattoo-aunt. Is an honorary position I’m stoked to take 🥰
•
Reagan!!!! I love you so much. I know I haven’t been there supporting you to the extent that I could have these last few years. Life is always moving and it’s hard to get close to the ones we love most sometimes. I am just so happy that I was able to do your first tattoo and we could finally spend some time together 🥹🖤
•
I can’t wait to see you again and hear about all of the big things you’re doing for your senior year 🎉

Seriously, I can’t thank you enough. I know things get tough, tattoos are a luxury experience, not a necessity. & if you have been able to keep my services in your budget this year, I appreciate you so much more than words can express🩶
•
For most of my clients, tattoos are a form of therapy. A place to come relax and transform their character at the same time. Tattoos are sacred, and thankfully, most of my clients realize this. Tattoos not only add something meaningful to your permanent collection of artwork, but they also help you regulate your nervous system, build physical resilience and make you feel more at home in your body.
•
They’re basically magic spells. And I’m so honored to be the witch you choose to cast them on you 🥰🥹🩶✨
•
You guys are the reason I get to do what I love for a living, you’re the ones who keep my creativity flowing, even through your most personal, meaningful designs. You keep me sane 🫶🏽
•
For that, I will love you forever 🥰

Are you getting boa vibes, or python? Let me know👇🏽
•
Also, the tiny wrist pieces reminded her of some pretty tile-work & she LOVES lemons. 🍋 I mean, who doesn’t love the smell of fresh citrus ?😌✨
•
Thank you, Kim!!! It’s always so amazing to see you and catch up🥰 and it was such an honor to be able to give you space to slow down and relax 🩶🩶
Love you girl!
