It has been a year, forever grateful for tattooing and what it has brought me. Thank you to everyone that I have tattooed, Hope to see you in the New Year!

NEW CONCEPT DESIGNS AVAILABLE
-
Always exploring and discovering new ideas. Would love to go in the direction of some elaborate decorative arm sleeves like this.
-
Let me know if you would like to claim one of these designs or have a design customized just for you.
-
If something immediately speaks to you don’t question it and attempt to relate it to social norms or trending things. Getting things that’s are trendy just takes you that much further away from who you truly are. Be you and follow your immediate gut response. Don’t simply get something because someone else has it. Get it because you simply enjoy it. For example, with food you have an immediate reaction of either “I like it” or “I hate it”. Same with art. Don’t over think it.

Okay, Enough ranting.
Have a beautiful day you beautiful creature.
