Snek update! 💗
Baby Nux going into blue. He's going to feel so shiny and new soon.

I know right? I'm definitely going to get some local honey from these gals.

Y'all I'm so ecstatic!! I got an email back from my tattoo idol saying she's interested in working on a large scale piece for me. She usually doesn't take customs, so I didn't think it was in the cards, but she likes my ideas! Looks like I get to travel to Canada.

What a day. I tattooed a beekeeper with a bee and she brought a bee from her hive to hang out. Such a well mannered little one. The bee was being held by the sister during the procedure and was just hanging out on her shirt for the photo. Such a magical little moment! #beetattoo #sandiego #tattoo

She's so beautiful! Great face.

Thanks so much! 😊

Aww thank you so much! 🥹💗

Finally finished this painting after a year of procrastinating! 😂 These gals are available to be tattooed! DM to claim. #absinthe #greenfairy #fae #faery #absinthefaery #greenfaery #illustrativetattoo #watercolorpainting #tattooflash #neotraditionaltattoo #tattoosky #sandiego #sandiegotattooartist

Finished up this leggy yesterday! Going to wait for full heal to take photos. Lower leg healed, upper leg fresh. All hand drawn on the client. The Winnie the Pooh piece is a cover up! This was so much fun and I can't wait for the next project with this client! #tattoo #tattoovideo #tattoosky

100 ways to share your work + life that aren’t social media — Amelia Hruby When I decided to leave Instagram, I knew that I didn’t want to quit sharing my life and work — I just wanted to do it somewhere other than social media. In the process of leaving social platforms, I ...

I really love getting off IG and knowing any energy I put into that app doesn't support an obvious technofascist even in a miniscule way, I like getting to know this platform, but I saw this list from a coworker who shared it and love it a lot too! www.ameliahruby.com/blog/100-way...

Pleating type 1, going with this one.

Pleating type 2, I don't think this one is as cool looking.

One panel pinned. I think I'm going to steam or iron it to make the points more prominent. I also tried this other way of pleating but I don't think it looks as nice.

South Bay Zine Fest haul! Feeling super inspired. 🪡 #southbayzinefest #zine #smallcreators #selfpublishing #sandiego #southerncalifornia #artistsofsandiego #sandiegoartist #zines #smallbusiness #smallartist #handmade #riotgrrrl

I love Octavia Butler! I haven't read this one. Definitely adding to the list. 👀

Dude this is so good and so smooth. Your comic game is 🔥🔥

I’m actually so excited about this one 🖤

You're so damn CUTE

Thanks to all the Love Bugs who came out to my Valentine's flash event! Remember there's more than one kind of love. Be safe, show love to yourself, your loved ones, and your community.

After a long day I'm winding down with dinner, chocolate from my sweetie, and a big cozy wearable blanket. 💗

A few pieces from today's flash event! 🥰 #sandiego #sandiegotattooartist #lovebug #sandiegotattooshop #blackandgreytattoo #insecttattoo #queersandiego #queertattooartist #bugtattoo #valentinesday

An image of someone's left thigh, featuring a black and grey tattoo of a carousel elephant. It is rearing on its hind legs and surrounded with a frame of ribbons and roses. The elephant is dressed in pearls and adornments, and features a fluffy ostrich feather on its head.

I had so much fun with this today! I love carousels and sentimental tattoos. This client got this in honor of her grandmother who collected elephants. The client named her Rosie. 🌹💗
