Today’s theme is botanical illustration. Plants hold so much wisdom and power! I love adorning bodies with cute illustrations!

Feeling weirdly hopeful
after a few days off social media. If you get out into the world and talk to folks, we mostly all want the same thing. Peace and civility and a gentle and sweet life. It’s ok to take a break from the horrors of the news if you need a little recharge. #seattletattooartist

I would like off the earth now please. I want to live in a matriarchal society of mice in a mossy fantasy forest.

Was so happy to make this crane! I don’t always feel like I’m very good at color but for some reason I love this specific red!

Have I told bsky about Immunity Rat yet? Immunity Rat is lightly famous on ig for being an excellent guardian against fake internet bullshit. Unfortunately these days, all the bullshit on the internet is very, very real. Either way he is a reminder to hang on. For me, at least 🖤🐀✨

A sweet friend for these trying times. Please hang in there and wear a mask if you go to a protest! Thanks for looking even though everything is crumbling all around us. 🖤🖤 #seattletattooartist #seattletattoo

TY FRIEND 🖤🖤🖤

Just out here feeling the doom of what if IG literally goes away and I lose my whole client base? I wish so badly I didnt have to rely on it? I know I cant be the only one that simultaneously hates ig and meta but unfortunately relies on it to get business. If anyone has any advice I'd love to chat🖤

A peaceful leafy to contrast the less than peaceful news cycle. Take a breath, drink your water, hug a friend.

I want life to feel like this 🖤

Now booking through the end of 2025 🖤✨

A closeup photo of a tattoo on a thigh. The tattoo is a sword piercing a heart with rays of light beaming out from behind the heart. There’s an eight pointed star at the top of the sword. The background of the photo is a flourishing monstera plant in the dappled sunlight from a window.

Ok so I fell off the bluesky train but I’m hoping to get back on bc IG feels more and more hellish everyday. How are we doing over here? Here’s a cute tattoo I made in Seattle this week 🖤

I am AWARE that the symbol for Aries is a ram but the season also kinda gives rooster vibes, don’t you agree?
