🌸🌿Magnolia Blossom🌿🌸
My newest addition to my series, Shibari In the Garden.

For some reason it took me forever to finish, but I did it and I’m so glad I kept going!

I’m posting both the extra flowery version, and the de-flowered original ;)

🦋Figuressci was my inspiration for this creation.

🌿I wanted to show growth and the feeling of being planted in something beautiful, something big, something more than just a single soul.

Of course, flowers are always wonderful to tattoo, but I especially love tattooing whales! They are definitely one of underrated Alaskan animals 🤓

💗 I love my lil art station 💗

Also, please don’t judge me too harshly for my shirt being all cat furred-up 🤣

❤️My lil furry homie needed cuddles before I left the house today! Now I’m just working on picking off every single one 🤣

Swipe to see the cuddly culprit ❤️

Black and white cat with purple geraniums and thistles tattooed by Meli Sea Art on a leg.

It’s always an honor when I get to memorialize someone’s furry friend :)
Now, if I could just tattoo cats and flowers all day, my dreams would come true 🤣😻🌷
(Though I do love all my projects 🥰)

A few weeks ago @rawbrassarts.bsky.social cutout a few wood panels for me in the shape of a fireweed sprig. I finally finished painting the first one today! It’s been a while since I painted with acrylics and this ended up being so much fun!

I’ve been working on this piece for the past few months, on & off. It’s nice to finally see it finished! A fellow artist, (Zepeda Arts/ Art by Noel), was the inspirational reference for this drawing.
