This one meant more than just making something beautiful.

This client and I met a few years ago not long after she lost her husband. At the time, I could only try to understand that kind of grief from the outside looking in. Now, heartbreak is something we sadly share in common.

Creating this piece together felt healing in a way that’s hard to explain — a reminder that even after unimaginable loss, there can still be beauty, color, connection, and meaning.

Texas sunset, wildflowers, and a semicolon because the story isn’t over yet. 🤍

Thank you for trusting me with something so personal.

Some stories aren’t erased — they’re rewritten.

Turned this old piece into something stronger, darker, and worthy of wearing with pride. ⚔️

Black & grey knight cover-up with layered armor detail, rich contrast, and enough saturation to bury the past for good. Cover-ups are some of my favorite projects because they’re not just tattoos — they’re transformations.

NOT my work — just some inspiration pieces of the kind of ornate bilateral leg work I’d LOVE to do. 🖤

Most of these are shin placements, but could also be adapted for calves or thighs. I’m really craving more large-scale ornamental/filigree projects like this lately.

Offering good pricing on pieces in this style, and larger projects can always be broken into sessions to help with budget, healing, or comfort.

If this is your vibe, let’s create something custom. ✨

Current progress on this mermaid cover-up and I’m honestly obsessed with the flow already. 🖤🧜🏻‍♀️

This piece is covering older work while transforming the entire side of the thigh into something elegant, dark, and feminine with tons of movement. The scale work, flowing hair, and soft black-and-gray shading are all being built to contour naturally with her body shape instead of fighting against it.

Cover-ups are one of my favorite challenges because they’re not just tattoos — they’re transformations. Still in progress, but this is already turning into such a beautiful statement piece.

Even evil needs a little lasagna-fueled attitude. 🔥🐈

Had a blast doing this twisted take on everyone’s favorite orange menace. Bold color, crunchy black shading, and just enough chaos to make him look like he crawled straight out of the underworld.

Cartoon tattoos are some of my favorite pieces because they let personality shine while still hitting hard visually. This one was pure fun.

Not every tattoo is meant to whisper.

This throat piece is still in progress, but it’s already got a presence to it that’s impossible to ignore. Heavy flow, strong movement, and built to fit the body instead of fighting against it.

Projects like this take trust, patience, and a client willing to sit like an absolute machine. Respect to the people who wear their art unapologetically.

Can’t wait to keep pushing this one further. 🖤

Today has my heart so full. 🖤

Seeing so many of my young clients graduate high school today honestly makes me emotional. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of meeting so many incredible families who chose to bring their newly-18-year-olds to me for their first tattoos and piercings, and being trusted with those milestone moments is something I never take lightly.

Tonight I had the opportunity to celebrate with one amazing family at their graduation dinner, and it really made me reflect on how proud I am of ALL of my graduating clients and their families. Thank you for trusting me to be a small part of these memories and major life moments.

To the Class of 2026:
Congratulations. Seriously. You made it. I hope you walk into this next chapter with confidence, curiosity, and the courage to become exactly who you want to be.

As a small celebration from me to you, any 2026 graduate can receive 25% off tattoo or piercing services for the next 6 months with proof of graduation. 🖤

I’m proud of you all.

Time keeps moving, but some things stay timeless. 🕯️🌹🦋

Loved bringing this piece to life with black and grey realism, soft rose work, and those red accents woven through the butterflies and rosebuds. The contrast between the delicate florals and the broken clock gives this one such a beautiful balance of softness and strength.

This sleeve panel was designed to flow with the arm while still standing strong as its own statement piece.

Thank you for trusting me with your vision. ❤️
