Take Pride in Your Hide

08/18/2026

Well, y’all really showed out! I’m incredibly grateful for the support and the number of amazing projects that have come my way since opening my books.

i knoooow i said I was trying to keep my applications open for new clients, buuuutt.... 😂To maintain the level of communication and personal attention I want every client to receive, I’ve decided to close my books to new projects for now—most likely until around Christmas. This will allow me to prioritize my existing clients, avoid booking too far in advance, and continue providing the experience my clients deserve.

I also want to acknowledge that I’ve been slower than usual responding to a few people. I’m catching up on messages today, but if you’ve been waiting to hear from me, please don’t hesitate to text again and put yourself fresh on my radar.

Existing clients who need to continue or finish a piece: I’m currently booking into November. Please text the work number at 706-325-1030, and we’ll get you back on the books.

Thank y’all again for keeping me so busy. It’s a pretty wonderful problem to have!

One more session and Lora’s sleeve will be finished, but I couldn’t wait to share this Dancheong-inspired hand cap. This was a last-minute addition to the design, and I love what it added to the piece. We still have one more session to tie everything together, but it’s getting so close. I cant wait to show you!

Also… does anybody else feel like back-to-school season hits like a freight train? I had about 30 minutes left on this tattoo before I had to stop and head to Meet the Teacher. I love summer with my boys, but I think we’re all ready for a little routine again. How has everyone else survived the week?

I loved getting to create this sweet piece for Abigail. 🤍🌿

We brought together birth month flowers to create this delicate bouquet, then tied it all together with something that makes it completely one of a kind—her grandmother’s handwriting.

There’s just something so special about preserving the handwriting of someone you love. A little piece of them, carried with you forever.

Kristen came to me with an existing tattoo on the front of her arm that she wanted to build from, so we created this piece to flow naturally from it and turn everything into one larger, cohesive composition.

Every element included holds its own special meaning for her, which always makes a project like this feel that much more personal. I especially love how the soft, subtle color palette came together.

Thank you, Kristen, for trusting me to take something that was already a part of your story and help it grow into something new. I had so much fun creating this one with you!
