hey! I had a day open up! This is my only availability until August for a full day appointment! Unfortunately, since its last minute, I cannot fit a client in that is already booked, as I wont have time to draw before, but I would love to fill the day with a ReadyToGo! here is what i still have available. if you're interested in one of these pieces, feel free to shoot the work number a text (706-325-1030) with a screenshot of the one you like so we can go over the details. The date I can fill is either the 3rd or 4th of June. Lets make some magic! These pieces are offered at a discount from my hourly pricing, and pricing will depend on size, placement and design chosen.

This is the first Ready ToGo from this latest hyperfixation that I got to complete! Thanks, Naomi! It's such a surreal feeling to see these in tattoo form.

Hey, y'all! When you arrive, park at the top of the drive near the dumpster. You can also park in the empty lot where the chimney is.
Please don't block the driveway. We'll need it for the folks playing to unload and load back up, along with other traffic that may come through.

Sometimes tattoos hold chapters of our lives, and sometimes as life changes, so do the stories we want to carry forward.

Cassidy came to me wanting to rework and cover an older name tattoo that no longer felt like it fit where he is now. We talked through a few different options and landed on these bold blue flames.

I always try to approach pieces like this with a lot of care, because cover-ups like this usually hold real history, real people, and real memories. It’s never about erasing that, just creating something that feels right for the chapter you’re in now.

On a personal note, this one was a little nostalgic for me. I used to tattoo old school biker flames like this all the time, and getting to revisit that style again was a lot of fun.

Thank you, Cassidy, for trusting me with it 🔥🖤

If you have an older tattoo that no longer feels like you, reworking it might be a better option than you think.

One of my favorite kinds of projects is taking something that already exists and helping it become what it was always supposed to be.

Andrew came to me with this firefighter helmet piece that meant a lot to him, but it just felt like it was missing something. The foundation was there, it just needed more life, more flow, and a stronger overall presence.

We decided to build around it with additional subject matter, rework some of the existing areas, and re-saturate the original tattoo so the whole piece felt fuller, stronger, and more intentional. Adding the flames, eagle, and extra movement around the helmet helped give it the impact it deserved.

I really love reworking tattoos like this, not because the original was “bad,” but because sometimes a tattoo just needs the right finishing touches to finally feel complete.

There’s something really satisfying about helping someone fall back in love with a piece they wear every day.

Thank you, Andrew, for trusting me with this one 🔥🖤

If you have an older tattoo that feels unfinished or like it needs new life breathed into it, I’d love to help.

There’s something I really love about building sleeves like this, pieces that feel full and intentional without needing every inch of skin covered.

Amanda came to me wanting Disney characters paired with birth month flowers to represent her family, and bringing all of those meaningful little pieces together into one cohesive flow was such a fun challenge. I especially love this growing trend of women wanting to be more heavily tattooed, but still preferring softer, varied tapered edges instead of a fully saturated traditional sleeve.

Designing something like this takes a lot of intention, making sure it covers where they want, flows with the body, and still feels finished and balanced from every angle.

Thank you, Amanda, for trusting me with this one đź–¤

A lot of clients tend to think of their back in sections, shoulders, upper back, mid back, lower back, each piece added at different times for different reasons. Then eventually comes the fun part… figuring out how to bring it all together into one cohesive story.

Stacey came to me with a few existing tattoos already on her back, and this sea turtle was our first big step in tying everything together. While working around older pieces can definitely create some limitations, I actually love the challenge of it, finding the right flow, movement, and placement so everything feels intentional instead of separate.

This turtle is the first new addition in what will become a much larger, connected piece, and I’m really excited about where we’re headed with it. There’s something really satisfying about helping tattoos stop feeling like individual islands and start feeling like one complete composition.

I can’t wait to see her again in a few weeks for the next installment and to add more detail to the turtle. 🖤

Thank you, Stacey, for trusting me with the process.
