Does anyone else suddenly have a craving for fortune cookies?

We’re pretty sure this silly inner bicep piece by Liz is a sentiment we can all relate to a little bit every once in a while 😂

Also, whenever you ask us “what is the weirdest tattoo you’ve ever done?” this isn’t it, but it certainly ranks up there.

Liz is currently booking October and spots are filling up fast!

Guys!!! And Gals!!!!! We are so pumped, Hannah is going to be doing a guest spot and tattooing with us for a few days soon. Actually, the week of September 27 - October 3 to be specific.

You know that Taylor and Liz both occasionally like to do pieces with a nod towards American traditional style, but nobody does it like Hannah! Keep an eye out over the next few weeks for more of her recent projects, and if you would like to book an appointment with her while she’s here, head over to her page lil.baby.steps to see more work, and for booking:

Liz had a cancellation, then ANOTHER cancellation for tomorrow (Aug 26), womp womp.
But that’s good news for you! If you’ve been wanting to get in, this is your sign. Flash designs/designs up for grabs get priority since design time is limited for customs.

Liz would LOVE to do an ornamental blackwork piece with some realism hellebores (so much so that she’s willing to do it at a steal of a price)! It doesn’t have to be a whole back, but something large scale to get lots of detail in the flowers and some good velvety black for the background.

Enjoy a little mood board inspo ✨

Happy ✨FLASH FRIDAY✨ friends!!!

It’s been a hot minute since we posted designs, super sorry about that! But we’ve been booked & busy and trying to enjoy a little summertime too.

You all had so many fun ideas for bird tattoos after the post of Liz’s cardinal that she decided to do a fun little series (there might be more in the works)…

Which one is YOUR favorite?

We’ve been showing this one off in person for a looong time… Liz’s friend came to her with a crazy idea to do a blackout over some old tribal, then white on top of that. The first picture the black is all healed, the gorilla face is freshly healed, and the gorilla skull is fresh fresh; pictures 2-4 are after a quick touch up on the most important areas of white; and the last photo is everything healed and several years settled.

While it IS a little dark still, we’re showing this because we frequently talk about cover ups requiring multiple passes to really have that “not a cover up” vibrancy, and the white directly on top of black is essentially a single pass cover with a light touch up. Another solid pass would really brighten things up and keep them looking as good and fresh as the day they were done.

Blackouts catch a lot of flack… would you ever get one? Does having a design incorporated change your thoughts on blackouts?

There are only a couple of appointments with Liz left in September! Her October books will open VERY SOON.

We’re a little obsessed with this piece that Taylor got to do earlier this summer! It took two sessions, so some is fresh here, some is healed.

Did you know…

Liz used to HATE doing cover ups because she was taught that they have to be huge and dark. In reality, there are tons of options if you’re willing to be patient and trust the process. Going light and bright takes time and multiple passes, but we think it’s worth it to have a piece you’ll love forever.

This is just the first session in the process to cover this muddy gray floral piece with something bright and colorful.

Stay tuned for the next steps 😉

Liz has just a couple spots left in September; October books opening soon!
