🏳️‍🌈I thought of a fun way to still do some Pride related tattoo deals!🏳️‍⚧️
June got fully booked for me way faster than any of the years before! Which is super cool as an artist but also means I didn’t get the chance to plan anything Pride related, or draw up any Pride specific sheets before June filled up. Which sucks cuz if it isn’t obvious enough, I am a q***r trans dude. So here’s my idea!
❤️Any q***r themed tattoos that are $300+ that are 𝙗𝙤𝙤𝙠𝙚𝙙 during June will be 20% off. Even though I don’t have time left in June to 𝙙𝙤 the tattoo, we can pick a later date/time and the discount will still apply.
🧡this can be q***r characters/couples/ships from anime or pop culture, BL/GL y**i/yuri manga panels, q***r OC’s or fursonas, or other q***r imagery as a tattoo
💛Sfw as well as nsfw designs welcome! You might be able to tell from my own fave characters/media listed on one of the slides that my taste is all across the board from cozy to degenerate
💚feel free to DM or comment any questions! I tried to word the 𝙗𝙤𝙤𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 the tattoo vs 𝙙𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 the tattoo thing in the least confusing way possible
🩵also..any BL/GL manga recommendations? 👀 I like sugary sweet and toxic and tragic

Enhanced an existing scar and added some chompers in around it 🐶
This was such a cool idea! Client had a dog bite scar from their own dog they wanted to be more obvious, with added dog jaws circling the bite. I love this combo of the realistic injury + more illustrative imagery!

I noticed it’s been a while since I’ve had any deeper skin tones on my profile, and I wanted to change that!
✿I’m predominantly a color artist and I LOVE doing color on all skin tones! The tattoo industry is full of racism and colorism and many clients get told they’re “too dark for color” or even “too dark for tattoos”. 99% of the time this is racism and/or an artist being uneducated and unwilling to admit it. The way you approach color tattoos changes depending on the clients complexion, and some alterations may be needed especially with certain colors. But it’s not all or nothing!
✿ If you want color tattoos but are unsure about how it’ll look on you, are hesitant to put your trust in an artist, or are on the fence on wether you would prefer your tattoo in color or black and grey, I’m always more than happy to do an in depth in person consultation or a color test tattoo!
✿Color tests are a small simple tattoo, think a row of small dots or lines, done in color so that you the client can see how color looks fresh and healed on your own body. Color tests are no additional charge for folks who have concerns about how color ink will look on them, as long as you have an existing appointment scheduled.
✿Consultations are always free!
✿Feel free to DM me any questions or fill out the link in my bio to book

Little bit bloody on the fresh white bits but I’m in LOVE with this custom altaria + swablu piece!
✿swipe to the last slide for an altaria evolution line back piece deal I have available inspired by a TCG card (⸝⸝>؂•̀⸝⸝)✧
✿I’ve had a lot of interest in my get-what-you-get pokemon tattoos but if you have a certain pokemon in mind I’m always more than happy to do a custom pokemon piece like this one
