A little more of her family, growing into place. 🌿

This month, we added August’s poppy to her Art Nouveau inspired birth flower sleeve. Each flower represents a grandchild, slowly bringing together a garden that will keep growing along with her family.

Creating pieces like this is so much fun. The organic flow of Art Nouveau lends itself so naturally to floral work, letting each new addition find its place while leaving room for what’s still to come.

I love watching this one unfold—and getting to help her carry everyone close. 🖤

Really, who could pass up the frill-flaring, venom-spitting attitude of Jurassic Park’s Dilophosaurus? 🦖

We came back the very next day after adding the ginkgo to give this dinosaur landscape its next resident. This one leans into movie fantasy, and I loved getting to bring that personality into the sleeve.

That wide-open frill gave us so much detail to play with, framing his face and giving him every bit of the attitude he deserves. Next session, we’ll build more foliage around him to settle him into his little corner of the prehistoric landscape.

Watching this leg sleeve grow has been such a treat. More to come. 🌿

Back to our regularly scheduled prehistoric programming. 🦖🌿

We finally got back to the dinosaur leg sleeve, giving our raptor a little more ground to stand on and adding ginkgo foliage around him. That famous murder toe needed somewhere to stomp.

And the plants deserve a little attention here. Ginkgo biloba is often called a “living fossil,” the last surviving species of an ancient group of trees. Fossils of its relatives date back more than 270 million years—before the dinosaurs even arrived.

Pretty fitting company for our prehistoric troublemaker.

I love coming back to this project and watching the landscape grow. Every session gives these dinosaurs a little more of a world to live in, and there’s still plenty left to build.

There’s a kind of friendship where “best friend” starts to feel too small. Somewhere along the way, you’ve become sisters.

These two might not always be in the same place, but they know they have each other. Close enough to lean on, even from miles away.

I loved creating something for that kind of connection—a little reminder of the person who’s always in your corner. And when they stand side by side, their tattoos meet, bringing the heart together. ❤️

They’d talked about this for years—a father-daughter tattoo that would let them carry a little of each other wherever they go. 🐢

Her hope was for a Hawaiian sea turtle with a softer feel, and her biggest worry was that the design would lean too masculine. We found their balance by weaving floral details into the Polynesian-inspired design, creating a turtle they could both feel connected to.

Then, during their session, they chose to wear each other’s favorite color. I love that somewhere in each tattoo is a quiet reminder of the other person, even when they’re apart. 💕

A sleeve that grows as life happens. 📸🤍

She came back to add another memory to her Polaroid collection—her first child’s tiny baby feet. Her second milestone, tucked into a design we’ve left room to keep building.

I love the pace of this project. Each addition will come when there’s another moment she wants to hold onto. Over the years, those Polaroids floating down from her camera will become a collection of her favorite memories, each one with its own story.

There’s something especially sweet about preserving those little feet exactly as they were. 🤍

A little pony with a very special cutie mark. ✨💖

This sweet memorial piece is getting a detail that belongs entirely to her dad: a cutie mark matching the tattoo he wore—a star with flames and an initial. A little piece of him, carried with her in her own way.

For now, we’re enjoying her sweet My Little Pony beginnings. Next session, we’ll add color and bring that special cutie mark to life. She may have a little more fire in her than her pony sweetness lets on. 🦄🔥

I love helping clients find a way to remember someone that feels like them, too. This little pony has plenty of heart behind her magic.

The tattoo was fading. The meaning hadn’t.

During her session, I noticed an older tattoo that had become so faint it was barely legible. I offered to refresh it, and she was surprised—and so grateful—to hear that it was possible.

It still meant something to her, even as time had slowly made it harder to see. I was happy to give it some attention and bring that clarity back.

I love helping someone reconnect with a tattoo they already carry. Sometimes a little work can make an old piece feel cherished all over again. 🖤

Have a meaningful tattoo that’s faded over the years? Send me a photo, and we can talk about what’s possible.

There’s a whole family story tucked into these flowers.

A mother and her two daughters came in together to honor the girls’ father, who recently passed away. His birth flowers, gladiolus and poppy, became the connection between all three tattoos.

They kept the poppy the same across each piece, then made the gladiolus personal through their color choices. Mom chose to bring both daughters’ colors into her own flowers—a beautiful way to carry their connection together. The daughters’ tattoos also included the word “daughter” woven into the stem, written in their mother’s handwriting.

Someone passing by might see a floral tattoo without ever knowing what went into it. But the person wearing it knows why each color was chosen, whose handwriting follows the stem, and who those flowers will always bring to mind.

Thank you for trusting me with something so close to your hearts. 🤍
