I recently got to tattoo this dream piece!! When people ask me 'what do you like to tattoo?' It's this. 100% It's got everything I love to do: a cool bird (one of my all-time faves, in fact!), stylized composition (their necks are NOT that long lol), fun use of color, and lots of texture! I love great blue herons and I love being able to make permanent art for my friends!! 🪿💕

He's a pretty big guy; swipe to see details. We managed to bust this out in a single 4-hour session all thanks to my super tuff n rad client Lynsey! 💪

My books are open right now! I am scheduling for Oct-Dec (link in bio) and I always love to do birds (and buggies, and sea creatures, and cryptids, and LotR.....). Thanks for looking!

Thanks so much for the cool projects as always, Kristin! Can't wait to add more to this arm.

Also, my books are open now and I'd love to do more stuff like this!! 🐦

It's that time of year again: I am opening my books to take submissions for the rest of 2026!

From now until next Saturday 9/12 (flash day!), you can send me your ideas for the weirdest (or raddest) tattoos. Or the simplest! All of your ideas are valid; I just like to make sure that I will be the best artist for the job.

I really enjoy tattooing critters, especially of the feathery, scaly, or weird variety. I am prioritizing pieces that align with my personal taste and style for the sake of my mental health (summer is over and the days are getting shorter and shorter, so I really have to take extra care of my brain).

You must fill out my booking form (link in bio) to schedule an appointment. Keep in mind that filling one out does not guarantee an appointment; I will reply to each submission regardless of my response though.

Please be sure to read all shop policies before submitting. Email [email protected] if you have any questions not answered in this post. Thanks y'all!

Walrus skull + marine debris; I always love love love tattooing skulls/bones, especially those with a little extra flavor like this guy! Swipe for details. 🦣🦭

I will be opening my books VERY soon and I actually have a few available designs drawn up that I'm excited to share with y'all!!

Finished up this big friggen dragon recently! Swipe to see it all cause she wraps quite a bit. 🐉

We busted out the line work a few months prior. I really prefer multiple sessions for larger (4+ hour) pieces like this; coming back into a tattoo after it has healed allows me to focus on the details and shading (or color, depending) without over-working the skin.

Anyway, thanks for looking! Who else had the Dragonology book when they were a kid?? I was obsessed!
