Summer Update Part 1

Hello, hello

It has been a second since I last shared a newsletter. I have been so deep in projects I have not yet had time to organize them! The past several weeks have been filled with some really fun tattoos, big medical stuff, memorials, camping and more. My heart has been constantly with the Palestinian people, who continue to be brutalized by a colonial system, and those in this country that fight the kidnapping of immigrants by ICE. There is so much struggle and so much hope at the same time.

Firstly, here are some tattoos I have done recently….

A stink bug and oxalis as Georgie’s first tattoo!

A large barn owl back piece that was such a joy to work on! We took our time getting the placement right, so the wings could have the perfect impact, crossing over Savannah’s shoulder blades. I love with a tattoo interacts with the body in this way, designed to respond to someone’s anatomy and have a striking effect.

Some jasmine filler in between two existing pieces.

Some coordinated flash pieces for my friends Dee and Thavy.

Got to have have a shading session on this freehanded and lined project for Felix. It was a really treat to tattoo a tulip poplar for the first time. They are one of my favorite trees on the east coast!

A folky butterfly, willow branch freehanded on, and some bleeding heart flash

To be continued soon…..
