✨Super excited I *finally* sat myself down to draw a Selkie. Something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time! I’d be over the moon to be able to tattoo her 😊

A selkie, a half seal, half human creature from Irish folklore- plays an Irish flute while perched on jagged gray rocks encrusted with white and purple barnacles. She is surrounded by a border of green kelp. A calm ocean is behind her. Water ripples around the base of the rocks. She has long, wavy, dark red hair, and freckles on her pale peach skin. Her flute is long and black with 6 holes and no keys. She emerges from a seal skin that appears to still be alive and moving, because it is a part of her. The seal skin is brown with a lighter brown belly and dark spots on its back. The deal’s head rests on the woman’s head like a hat, and its flipper hugs her body. Her breasts are hidden by her arm and hair.

Here’s a custom tattoo design for a client that I got excited about and decided to color for fun. It’s a selkie playing an Irish flute! I have prints available at www.inprnt.com/gallery/vall...
