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 šŸ„¹

šŸ“† 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. Iā€™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 šŸ’ø

šŸ’Œ DM me if you have any questions or check out my booking proposal form to get something started
