He told me to do whatever I wanted. Twice.

 Here's the view of his arm as it twists, which leads into this little healed guy pictured below!

Turning back time


A Time-turner for Sydney as a little tribute to her sister (as well as to Harry Potter!). 


Tributes

 A little teensy tribute to her love of Sylvia Plath
Birthday girl got herself a little Brian Eno goody. That top line may be the straightest line I've ever done in the three years I've been tattooing (the inner lines are supposed to be wobbly, ya'll)!

Katie's hen

Tuesday, April 14, 2015
Here's the sketch of Katie's sweet little hen and some flowers from a farm she worked at over the summer that was near and dear to her. The left sketch is the color layer on top, the right is the linework. Such a fun thing to design! 


The final product! She decided against the blue circle for now. I think this allows for a nice composition and a farm-ier feel, however does make the sunflower a little awkward. Hopefully she'll allow me to remedy this when she comes back for touch-ups in a few weeks.
I'm hella proud of that little hen though! She's a beaut!

Early April

Re-saturated this little old guy from a few years back!

Soon-to-be wrist cuff with the root chakra and a lotus. Lovely little lotus cut-out in the inside wrist.


Sketching up something big and fun! Gonna use loose graphite for it. New toys are the best.

Etchings forever

Tuesday, April 7, 2015
This one will be in all color- one of my first little dives into the traditional realm! Representing life and death for my lady Erin.

These little guys will be part of a whole water-based mythological sleeve. The horse is a Kelpie-- a shape shifting creature that dwells in the water and lures children to their death, and the cherub-type children are based on Cernunnos. Deer-like beasts without hooves.

Super fun one on the back of a calf! Always wanted to do a lil tarot cart.

Colin gave me free reign, and this is where I went. Gentleman bull on the inner forearm.
