Added a sleeve to Rowan’s growing collection of magical moving flowers, chest healed from last summer. This sleeve includes elements of their childhood home in NH: flowering apple branch, goldenrod, black eyed susan, yarrow, echinacea, milkweed, ruby-throated hummingbird, and honeybee. Thank you so much for making art with me this year @_ropatty - I’m so honored when folks want to collaborate on big projects. 🖤🖤🖤

My favorite kinda tattoo to do. Thank you W for the trust to let me do my thing! And @gproblematica for modeling! “I am an illustrator myself and my main subject is the human body. em16’s interpretation of the human body and human connection is my main theme.”

More scar beautification! This one was drawn on “freehand” with markers. Swipe to see the drawing. I’m accepting January requests, em16.com/book. Do you know what veggie this is?

Dragon flies and Provincetown beach plants for my friend 💖 “After a few extra-sweet summer nature experiences with dragonflies, they have a personal symbolism for me related to fidelity to myself, retaining my identity as a whole person while I become a parent, and prioritizing joy/pleasure.“
