All healed hand and wrist tats on me, by me 😌 Plus proof of life 👋🏻 A few updates: 🔜 I head to the east coast in a week! I still have time for one smaller tattoo on Sunday 12/15 at @loveyoubyetatco in Lansdowne, PA (just outside of Philly!). And I have all day on Saturday 12/21 available for appointments at @estuarytattoo in NYC. Big or small, custom or flash, I’m game! I travel to NYC 1-2 times per year, so we can even start a large, multi-session project 😈 ❄️ I’m currently booking tattoo appointments in the Bay Area for February and March 2025! Fridays and Sundays are available for sessions of any length, and the occasional Mon-Weds afternoon, great for smaller 1-2 hour projects. DM me with any questions you might have and check out the booking form on my 🕸️ site to get something started. 🖼️ I’ve kind of been neglecting this account for the last few months and I now have quite the backlog of tattoos to share. 😅 I’m going to try to get back in the habit of posting here, with lots of tattoos, some actual physical paintings I’m working on (!!!), and occasionally my face here and there ☺️

Definitely one of my top tattoos of 2024, and possibly even of my entire 6 year tattoo career so far?? Thank you soooo much Rosemary (whose song is on this post! Go check out @fennelxflowers ) for coming to me with this dream project and trusting me with such a powerful placement and meaning. And also for being game for me to try a stylistic shift that pushes more in the direction that I am most excited to go in. Tattooing is so cool, art is so cool, helping friends become their dream selves is the absolute fucking coolest 🥹 📆 My books are open for February and March in Oakland! I have time for some smaller tattoos on Fri 2/7 and Fri 2/28. I’m open to all ideas, but I would reeeeeally love to do a flower or insect in this style and would give a discount on either of those projects on either of those days 💸 💌 DM me if you have any questions or check out my booking proposal form to get something started 🔪 Tattoo done at my ink home @thorns.tattoo #machinefreetattoo #necktattoo #qttr #transtattooartist #bayareatattoo #dotworktattoos #handpokedtattoo

A selection of my favorite tattoos that I created over the past two years. ✨ I love both realism and abstraction, and combining them whenever I can! All of these pieces are 100% hand poked with a lot of love, care, and obsession with making them as perfect as I can 😜

🥄”Do not try to bend the spoon. That’s impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth: there is no spoon. Then you’ll see that it is not the spoon that bends — it is only yourself.” 🥄Thank you so much Cassie for coming to me with this really delightful idea— a spoon for The Matrix but make it Mid Century Modern, playful and fun! And also a great opportunity to play with some color too. I would reeeeeally live to do more tattoos in this MCM atomic style! 📆My books are currently open for Bay Area appointments at @thorns.tattoo ! I have time for some smaller projects (1-3 hours) on Friday 2/7 and Friday 2/28, then I have totally open availability in March on Fridays and Sundays. Contact me if interested or check out the proposal form on my 🕸️ site to get something started ☺️ #thematrix #handpoketattoo #machinefreetattoo #QTTR #transtattooartist #bayareatattoo #mcmtattoo

🍁 A leaf from my flash for fellow handpoker @_thisthat done at @loveyoubyetatco just outside of Philadelphia! Tattooing other tattoo artists, especially ones as skilled and talented as Marria, is always sooo nerve-wracking but also such a treat. Marria, thanks so much for trusting me with this lil guy and for the great conversation about our special niche lane of tattooing and the industry as a whole 💞 🌇 NYC— I still have time to tattoo you this Saturday, 12/21 at @estuarytattoo in Brooklyn! Big or small, custom or flash, I’m game! DM me if interested, or check out the proposal form on my 🕸️ site to get something started. #handpokedtattoo #dotworktattoo #botanicaltattoos #naturetattoos #QTTR #queertattooartist #transtattooartist #machinefreetattoo

👑 A crown for Edward 👑 Tattooing friends and loved ones is always such a special treat. A big part of what I love about tattooing is getting to help others come into their own self and realize deeply personal transformations. Intimately knowing all of the real ins and outs of that person’s journey, to understand exactly what makes that tattoo special (even if it is a highly impulsive, spur of the moment decision 😂), really makes my job all the more rewarding. Thank you always dear friend!! 🏙️ NYC: I still have time to tattoo on Saturday 12/21 at @estuarytattoo ! DM me if interested or complete the booking form on my 🕸️ site. All spots for Philadelphia have been claimed, thank you!! #handpokedtattoo #dotworktattoos #blackandgraytattoos #finelinetattoos #QTTR #queertattooartist #NYCtattoo #machinefreetattoo
