A few random Star Wars character tattoos in honor of Star Wars day.
Star Wars is my favorite fandom by far, from the EU to the Clone Wars, to hating on the sequel trilogy, and finding love for the prequels.
I’ll be watching the Maul Shadow Lord finale today and drawing up some fun flash for this week in honor of Star Wars and all the joy it’s brought me and every other middle aged nerd over the years.
May the Force be with you!

I love that Harlow is beaming with pride lol.
Kids grow up fast. It makes me realize how important it is to prioritize enjoying moments with them as much as possible so you don’t miss a thing.
Forever thankful for these girls.

Work in progress!
Second day video of this one from Saturday night on
Really happy with how this one is coming together.
Probably one more session to finish the miners helmet and then push contrast where it needs to be!

💥QUICK UPDATE💥

Hey guys! I just wanted to hop in and give a quick update.
The last month was crazy between moving to the new studio, spring break traveling with the kids, and adjusting to the new location.

But now that I’m mostly settled in, I’ll be opening up some more available days during the week, split into morning and evening half day blocks.

Thank you all so much for all your patience while I’m adjusting everything. This move puts me closer to everyone who helps watch my kids so I can offer more availability and allows for much easier booking 😄

And last but not least, anyone who’s clicked my booking recently has probably noticed a slightly different system. I’ve switched over to for my scheduling and project management.
This has made appointment submission responses easier to keep up with and allows me to create a more individualized project setup for each tattoos specific needs.

If you have any questions about the move or need help with scheduling through the new system, please feel free to contact me and I’ll help get you up to speed 🙌🏼

Thank you again for all your support and allowing me to create art for you. And thank you to for the warm welcome.
Super excited for what the future holds 🫶🏼

Fresh and angry photo of last nights efforts.

I’d normally let it settle longer before the photo so I can get it calmed down to see how the tones are settling immediately, but we were tired 😴

I’m grabbing a few second day photos today and I’ll throw them here or in my story so you can check out how these look settled 😁

NERD CHECK IN
Anyone watching Maul: Shadow Lord on Disney+?
This show has been one of the coolest things put out in years, possibly since the first couple seasons of Mandalorian.
I’d love to bust out some more Star Wars portraits!
Hit me up if you wanna snag one!
