Are you ready to match my freak?? šŸ‘€ā¬‡ļø

One of the coolest things Iā€™ve noticed over the years as a tattoo artist is how your style and your clients evolve together. šŸƒ

Sometimes, new clients find you because they vibe with your current style. 

And sometimes, your OG clients fall in love with the new directions youā€™re exploring. šŸ’•

Either way, Iā€™ve been SO DAMN LUCKY to always find soulmate clientsā€”those amazing humans who just get it and ride the creative wave with me. šŸŒŠ

Take my wonderful client, Annika. 

We started her colorful animal-and-floral-themed sleeve about three years ago, back when I was just diving into color tattoos after years of focusing on black and grey. šŸ“š

For her upper arm, I had actually created a design for her two years ago. 

But when she booked her appointment this year, I asked if sheā€™d let me redo it.

Why? Because as an artist, Iā€™ve grown since then, and I wanted to give her something even betterā€”something that truly matched where weā€™re both at now.

If you swipe to the last picture of this post, youā€™ll see the original design we planned back then. 

She loved it at the time, but when she saw the updated version, she loved it even more. āœØ

Itā€™s such a beautiful thingā€”being able to grow in my art and having clients who meet me at every stage of the journey.

Annika, thank you for trusting me with your vision and for being the kind of client every artist dreams of.

Hereā€™s to creating work that grows with us. šŸ’œ
