Most of these tattoos are healed even longer now, but I just listed the time of the video. I love being able to grab healed photos and videos of my work, it ensures that I never stop learning and it feels so good to see work coming back looking even better than when it was finished

Send me your healed photos and videos!

Baby Dragon 🐉

Really really hard one to get a photo of, we tucked this little hatchling into Shawne’s inner arm to round out her magical sleeve.

I always love mixing botanical with fantasy, I’m super excited to see what ideas you all have in December

Fantasy sleeve in progress ✨

I’m so excited about how Julie’s sleeve is coming along, the forearm is completely healed and the hobbit house is fresh. This piece makes me want to go on an adventure

Can’t wait to show you guys what we add next

Library Dragon

I had so much fun working on this project for Danielle. As someone who also loves the read and hoards books, creating a dragon to protect a book hoard was an ideal piece for me.

The roses and sword at the base are fully healed, and the background and top rose are fresh. Dragon is partially healed partially fresh.

Would love to take on more intricate pieces like this one. I love combing botanical and fantasy elements!

{3.5 sessions, approx 26 hrs

3 day collaboration created by @sarahxuantattoos and @maryssaannetattoo at the @biglondontattooshow

After almost not making it to the show because of flight delays, we went straight from the airport into this tattoo.
We are so proud to say that this piece made it to the top 5 in large color and Asian inspired 🫶🏼

We are so proud of what we were able to accomplish this weekend and can’t wait to do it again even better. Imagine what we can do with a proper amount of sleep!

Big thank you to our client @johnalvarez2585 for sitting like a champion and not complaining once. We couldn’t have done it without you!

Amazing time at @hell_city this past weekend! Can’t wait to see you all in Ohio this November

We spent a full day working on the main panel of this moss covered Buddha, and spent our second day connecting this piece to our existing sleeve panel. Thank you Callan for your trust as always.

So excited to show you guys what we were working on Day 1 at the @tattoobattlebooth

Another addition to Tyler’s DND sleeve, I can’t believe we’re already getting close to the finish line. What creature do you think we are adding next?

Stay tuned to see the entire completed (healed) sleeve, I can’t wait to keep working on this one!

Princess Donut and Mongo, continuing the book theme with Dungeon Crawler Carl by @mattdinniman

I actually began reading the series because of this tattoo request, and can only hope my fellow crawlers think I did these icons justice! (Yes I do read all the books you guys want tattoos from)

What series are you hoping to see show up in my tattoos next?

“until the darkness claims us”

We completed this Manon leg panel this weekend inspired by the Throne of Glass series by @sarahjmaas and of course had to tell the story using one of the most heart wrenching scenes

Thank you Phylicia for your continued trust over the years. I feel so lucky to have such incredible and kind hearted clients.

We completed the outer panel of this sleeve recently, I can’t wait to show you guys what I have planned for this inside!

We started this piece at the New York tattoo expo, the upper arm is healed with some minor touchups. The lotus has had no touchups! I’m so happy with how everything has settled

Stay tuned for August to see the start of the inner arm
