*BOOKS NOW OPEN!! TAKING INQUIRIES NOW!!!*

With the year coming to an end, I want to say a HUGE thank you to EVERYONE who has supported me and been a part of my tattoo journey this year!!

It has been another amazing year of growing, sharing, and co-creating!

Due to the growth that's happened, I have found a deeper connection to concepts heavily based in black and grey, geometric, and ornamental free-form design. *refer to pics on this post*

My goal for the coming year is to continue doing this from of tattooing prominently, which is heavily dependent on trust, artist freedom, and flow. I love to connect with people, getting to know them, and working directly with the uniqueness of the body to create unique pieces.

If this sounds like something that you've been looking for or are open to this experience, click the link in my bio, fill out an inquiry form, and we will be in contact to starting the process to co-create together!!!

I am so grateful and so excited to meet you!!

Luis came to me wanting to start an Egyptian sleeve. I loved the idea!! ⁣
⁣
He gave me total control so of course, I put my swing on it!! We started with Nefertiti with Anubis next to come!! ⁣

I couldn't be more stoked to be working with him on this project!! ⁣

I wanna share with you.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
These recent events have all of us out of our routines, grasping at ways to keep ourselves safe and sane. Searching for ways to still give ourselves what our hearts need.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It's an interesting time for us as tattoo artists. We depend on close contact with our community to execute our artwork. It's not only our passion, but it's our livelihood. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We are being forced to think about this. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I cant speak for all tattoo artists, but I can speak for myself. My thoughts have been out to you all. But not just tattoo artists, but for everyone out there feeling a little out of their minds with being unable to do what fuels them. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Its for the safety of ourselves, our loved ones, and our community that we help each other by being smart. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I have more to think about than myself. I think about the people I love who I live close to, the people I work with on a daily basis and their families, and I think about my clients and their families. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I hope, to the bottom of my heart, that all of you are safe, healthy, being smart, staying positive, allowing ourselves to laugh, remembering to be grateful, and spreading love to one another. I am thankful for everyone trying their best to give to their community in whatever ways that they can.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Being positive and grateful is just as contagious as any virus. We can all battle this together (at least 6 feet apart 😉🤭) ⁣⁣

"Wooden heart" by The Listener ⁣
⁣
If you haven't heard this beautiful song, then give yourself the pleasure. ⁣
⁣
When I first heard this song, I wondered if I was ever going to get to tattoo an interpretation on it for someone. Then several years later...⁣
⁣
Bailey came to me with her story of carrying a deep connect to this song in more ways than one. When we sat down to design, we both knew there were many ways we could take this piece. ⁣
⁣
We came together on this design and we couldn't be more delighted with the way it came out. ⁣
⁣
I am so honored to have been given the chance to go this tattoo for her and I hope that we will get to do more fun things in the future!! ⁣

Jolyn...I cant say enough about this rockstar of a lady!!! From the time I met her to the time we finished her dream tattoo, it was a fu***ng blast!!! ⁣
⁣
She gave me all the freedom needed to bring my little touch into what she had envisioned and I couldn't be more happy with the concept, and the woman who gets to wear it for life!! ⁣
⁣
It was a pleasure and honor to be her tattoo artist!! ⁣

It isn't every day that I get to tattoo someone with the same name as me, but I had the wonderful opportunity to do just the thing for this lovely lady! ⁣
⁣
Tattooing this piece for her has inspired so much for me and I'm grateful for having been able to create for her!! ⁣

We as tattoo artists receive the question "What's normal to tip your artist?".

It's a question that comes up quite often, and although there might be an average, it's a very individual thing.

I can not speak for other artists, or what's considered "normal" in the industry as a whole, but I can speak on what I have seen or received in my years as an artist.

A tip is a gesture given to show an appreciation for a service well done. Whether that be monetary or not, it should never change the overall experience or gratitude given.

Getting to know your artist can help with that too. Maybe your artist likes cookies or baseball cards!!

No matter what, a tip is appreciated, not expected!

I hope this video helps gives some insight into the wonder of how much to tip your tattoo artist!

There us usually a story behind the tattoos that come my way.⁣
⁣
This one in particular is a story about passion, growth, beauty, and life. ⁣
⁣
Elizabeth came to me with this concept, and I couldn't help but let it resonate with my views. There was no option to not give this story life. ⁣
⁣
I wanna give a HUGE congrats to her for finally accomplishing her goals that will allow her to play her part in her passions to help people. ⁣
⁣
And a HUGE thank you for giving me the honor in getting the opportunity to create this beautiful piece!!! ⁣
