So excited to keep working on this underwater creature sleeve, thanks Kelli for being such a champion and unexpectedly sitting for an extra half day.

We finished this part of the sleeve in a full day and a half. What other creatures do you think we are adding to this one?

This photo was taken the next day, can’t wait to see this healed.

{approx 12 hrs, 1.5 sessions}

Really excited about this beautiful botanical leg piece. It was so fun to tattoo some anthuriums, they have such crazy texture!

Thanks Naomi for the trust and sitting back to back days on this piece! 🌿

What plants are you hoping to see more of in 2026?

Recent collab between me and @cesarmaya_tattoos

Thanks @_bakermeister_ for grabbing this one from us

Tattoo is partially healed and partially fresh, can’t wait to see the whole thing completely settled in. We love the contrast between the dark bio and botanicals, more like this please!

Who wants to see us collab again?

So happy with how this piece came out! What do you guys think of this design, would you get a half sleeve as your first tattoo?

Finished this half sleeve for Elisabeth! Can you guys believe this was her first tattoo?

We included three birds to represent her and her two kids. I’m always so honored when people choose me for such important and meaningful tattoos. Would absolutely love to do more pieces like this one, I’m really in love with all of the colors. Thanks for all of your trust and sitting like an absolute champion!

Double coverup/rework! My client came to me with an existing coverup that she was not happy with. We managed to save some parts of the existing tattoo, and coverup the rest!

Can you believe there’s two other tattoos under this one? What tattoo do you have that you need covered up?

{2 sessions, approx 14 hrs}

Done in one session, I’ve been really loving adding these bokeh effect backgrounds. Let’s do some more animals this year!

I absolutely love when clients ask me to capture a vibe, a place, or a feeling. Hearing all of your stories behind your tattoos is one of my favorite parts of this job!

What moment in time would you commemorate with your tattoo?
