One shoulder at a time ✨

Last year, she trusted me with her first shoulder piece… and this year, she came back to complete the vision on the other side. Moments like this mean everything—especially when I’ve held onto her original custom spiral design just in case she returned.

So grateful I did 🙏

Seeing these two pieces come together in perfect balance is the kind of full-circle moment I live for.

“Measure twice, cut once” — as dad always says.

And this one? Worth the wait. 🩷

Embrace the art of enhancing your body’s natural curves: Every piece I create, even from my flash, is meticulously hand-altered to fit perfectly on your skin, making each design uniquely yours.

Remember, color work is a journey, and it often takes a few sessions to achieve that rich, vibrant finish. But trust me, it’s always worth the wait.

This beauty is just one session away from its final celebration, and I can’t wait for you all to see it complete. Until then, enjoy these progress photos and let the anticipation build. ✨

Gradients are one of my favorite aspects of completing a piece with a full pigment spectrum.

The last photo shows our first session with just the yellow lines which healed beautifully.

When I create a piece on my iPad I'm often thinking of the final skin it will rest on, placing contrasting colors at the forefront of my mind.

Bold vibrant inks that eventually settle into their wearer with a sunkissed life ahead of them.

We'll be seeing how this heals in a few weeks so follow for updates!

What color is your favorite?

02/26/2026

First the yellow lines are tattooed, this client came in 4 weeks ago for a 2 hour appointment to get the yellow outlines etched in.

Then today's session was purely about color! My favorite aspect of color are the gradients I can create.

I'm constantly trying to push the gradients into smoother and smoother levels.

Even taking a flesh tone ink to try and bridge the gap between skin and ink.

What is your favorite color?
I'll go first, in tattooing a rose based red, this color works on any skin tone and always has a buttery blend.

Rose red lotus bloom inspired by Japanese floral motifs. 🪷

After a long day at the studio, moments like these remind me why I love what I do. Placement was everything - this stunning piece was custom fit to wrap around the client's hip, with hand-drawn petals that fit her curves better than the original flash piece she chose.

I will always make the piece customized to your body.

We went big and bold to make it a true showstopper. Grateful for clients who trust me to bring their vision to life
