Little etched woodsy raccoon for Josh. So fun, and super proud of this one. I even lost the stencil half way through and ended up doing it mostly freehand!

Half-sleeves

 

Two half-sleeves I had to leave without finishing. The top piece would eventually have been a full as well. Hope whoever gets to use my lines as a coloring book has a blast! So many fucking flowers. Also, the bottom one is a cover-up of "Asian Princess." Lolol.

Poppies and PMA

Still unfinished piece. But a great story behind the banner and words-

The "PMA" (Positive Mental Attitude. Something very fitting to its owner!) is something I drew on my friend Ariel's arm for our friend Griffin to tattoo on her in her living room a few years ago. Then as my very very very first tattoo, even before that antler I posted earlier, I did that little banner and touched up the wobbly "PMA." Then, to our shock and grief, Griffin passed away this summer. Ariel had been talking about getting poppy tattoos before, but now they had a different meaning. Poppies are the flower of death, and now remembrance. I can't wait to finish this lovely transformative and important tattoo.

Simple words

Some simple line and text tattoos from 2012-13.

 

A tribute to a last name and a love for music,

A replacement for a lost wedding band,

Children's birth dates,

The paisley from a father's bandana,

and a tribute to a friend lost.
