Examples from my return clients who hit me up again and again when they realize just gettin’ a small flash from me isn’t enough of the experience 😎 🧚🏼♀️ ✍️ #tattooapprentice #artist #tattoos #jellyfish #ghosts #edgarallanpoe #nevermore #theRaven #sharks #bubbles
Got to #tattoo my boyfriend for his #birthdaygift yesterday!! Now we’re #trashpolka twinsies (my first tattoo on myself was the #lightningbug duo) Learned a ton and will be finishing it up once it’s done some healing!

We had a pretty dope #storm roll through the #chicagoland area over the weekend and as the true #midwesterner I am, I was out on the lawn taking pictures of the #sky. I can’t help myself around #highcontrast #clouds and reachy #trees.

Got to do my first #floraltattoo on my friend @mollyrosaline.bsky.social over the weekend and it felt so good to practice some tiny #stippleshading in actual flesh!! Thank you so much for the trust and I can’t wait to decorate you more!! 🥰 #tattoo #tattooartist #apprentice #flowers #moon #art
🤷♀️ I’ll get proper #headshots taken someday. 📸

I had to take some “headshots” without prior knowledge for the shop website. I’m in desperate need of a #haircut so my preferred one was the hat, but my mentor thought the middle more #professional.

I was left alone at the shop to set up admin paperwork today. Mocked up flyers for when we attend the #Waukegan #ArtWauk this month! Took some selfies around the fresh shop layout! Come check it out for yourself! #localartist #artist #shoplocal #supportlocal #tattooshop #tattoos #art #artcommunity

A whole little world growing in this overturned #log along the river. #nature #spring #photography #touchgrass #takeawalk #newgrowth #plants
Couldn’t decide how I liked the focus on this shot. Crawled under a pile of logs to get a neat angle. 📸 #tree #log #plants #texture #wildlife #photography #nature #spring #touchgrass #takeawalk

Found some old ‘08/09 era experimentation from a dusty old college bag while cleaning closets. #art #watercolor #guache #flowers #painterly #sketchy #ink #artist #throwback
Got to do a Harley Davidson logo tattoo for a buddy’s birthday gift yesterday. First time packing in flesh and learned a ton!! ✍️ #harleydavidson #tattoo #tattooartist #apprentice #blackwork
When you’re trying to grow your Artist following on Bluesky so you can finally abandon Facebook, but you type “tattoos” into the search and it winds up being a bunch of news about the nazi symbols on our government leaders….
How is anyone meant/expected to do /anything/ constructive right now??? 🥴
It’s giving #HieronymusBosch 🖼️
I wish I could break the Zuck habit and default here more organically. Feels like a following would come pretty naturally if I could be more consistent 🙄 it’s been a huge critique my entire life. Freeballing with an unmediated mental health cocktail makes habits and discipline grey areas of chaos.
