We finally finished Whitney’s foxglove piece 🌸✨
This one healed beautifully, and I’m honestly so proud of how soft and vibrant it turned out. The pops of color, the delicate blackwork details, and those little sparkles came together exactly how we hoped.
And I also want to say this: Whitney absolutely powered through this tattoo. Everyone’s pain tolerance is different, and larger color pieces can be tough — even with numbing cream before and during the session.
As artists, I think it’s important to remember that tattoos do hurt. They’re permanent artwork being placed into skin. But there’s a huge difference between discomfort and feeling pushed beyond your limits.
I never want my clients to feel ignored, rushed, or shamed for needing breaks, repositioning, numbing support, snacks, water, or simply a moment to breathe. A good tattoo experience should still feel collaborative, supportive, and respectful of your body.
If you’ve had a rough experience elsewhere or you’re nervous about getting tattooed because of pain, I’d genuinely love the opportunity to show you a different kind of tattoo session 🤍
Thank you again, Whitney, for trusting me with this piece and sticking through the process with me 🌸
