i say this all the time and i’ll say it again; i am so grateful for clients that become friends, who i can be my fullest, most chatty, most joyful self around. shout out to Allesandra for being one of those special people, & for being being tough af, falling asleep while i stab her elbow.
for me, the best part of this job, apart from the art itself, is the stories. from the storytelling involved in designing thoughtful & meaningful imagery that feels uniquely tailored to the needs of the person in front of me, to the stories we share while we’re working, to the way we become woven into the fabric of each other’s stories after that day. there’s an intimacy and a connection in this work that is never lost on me. community is so precious. thank you so much 🤍

every pretty picture deserves a pretty frame. these realistic crows were done entirely with a machine. we created a custom shape for her based on her facial features and her preferences. once healed she’ll come back in and we’ll make any necessary adjustments. i’m so thrilled with how these came out. #ladytattooer #browtransformation #browtattoo
sometimes you have an epiphany and you get a cover up 🤍 i love tattooing flowers. neck tattoos for everyone ! who’s next?
i loved making this freehand rosary for Paola. sometimes the best way to make something flow w the body is to draw it on.
had a sweet sentimental little birthday. back to reality today so here’s me, my art, and a few things it took me 33 years to learn:
you are defined by the love you give not the love you receive. a true giver can never be “used” or taken advantage of. no one can get over on you when you’re the source, you are literally made of love. it’s your super power.
that being said, it’s your job to assess people’s capacity to reciprocate your energy before you start offering yourself up. it’s okay to stay sweet, just have the discernment to see the difference between bees and flies. this will save you lots of time.
intention and impact are two different things. be self aware. stay accountable. we owe that to one another. relationships of any kind require effort. gentle confrontation led by curiosity is your friend. speak up, a simple conversation can be so healing. life is to short not to love on your people or to stay angry over petty things.
it’s okay to revoke access to you whenever that makes sense for you. no one is entitled to space in your life, let people fumble you. consider yourself first or no one will think they should. don’t take things personally. we all have things we carry.
life is too short to not be living how you like. but life is long enough for you to figure it out. start over a thousand times if you need to. you are never stuck. you are never lost. stay curious about everything.
befriend your grief and let it change you for the better. pain is a portal. it’s alchemy. make art that you enjoy. be unapologetically, fearlessly, you, that’s how your people will find you.
you just get one body in this life time, take care of it and it’ll take care of you. changes made out of self love are more sustainable than those made out of self loathing. fall in love with systems and the process of becoming. the real beauty is how you move in the world, not what you look like. lastly, for the best sleep, always try your best everyday.
and if you got this far, i love you. thank you for giving me space to yap. i so appreciate every birthday wish. my only wish for my birthday is that i keep getting the opportunity to make pretty art for cool people 🤍
Really stoked with how this project is coming out. More of this please 🤍
July was for the sentimental and the sweethearts. I really love the real lovers. Here’s some sweet tattoos i got to do for parents, couples, siblings, and self love. I’m here for it all. Books always open 🤍
It’s not clocking to you that I’m standing on business is it #junesofar

I am a deeply sentimental person, so is the part of my job that’s most special to me. Grief is a topic and an experience that I’ll never talk about enough. And when you get to help someone work through those feelings it is an honor. I appreciate everyone who’s ever trusted me with the task.

I started this drawing more than a year ago. About 15 hours in I got bored of it, or maybe I realized I’d bit off more than I could chew and found myself discouraged—I stopped working on it. There it was, in my bedroom, haunting me. It felt like a symbol of an almostness that was following me around. I had a long period of stillness in my life that I was mistaking for stagnation. Sometimes God slows life down for us to help us get our intentions clear. So after a year of staring at it, and some soft encouragement from people who also saw it sitting there collecting dust, I started working on it again. I didn’t shame myself about it, I just chipped away at it very slowly over the course of the last three months. And now it’s done haunting me, I can stop staring at my feet. So I’m sharing it with y’all before I turn the page to start something new. 🧡 #graphitepencil #sketch #drawing #pencilonpaper
Here’s a song for your morning affirmations, a selfie so I can show up on your feed and say hey, and some fine line cuties I got to make for a super cool woman named Judith. Including some handwriting her mother left her. I really should start recording my conversations with my clients because we spend most of our time yapping and laughing. And I truly I wouldn’t want to spend my time doing anything else. Would y’all be into that? Come get tattooed so we can waste some time together, you’re already wasting it lol 🫶🏽 #finelinetattooartist #finelinetattoo #mathematics #cttattooartist
I got to do a pearl from my flash this week. I have more in my wanna dos highlights if anyone would want to make me happy and get one 🥹 Pearls are really quite special to me. It could be the secret violence that it takes to create them and to extract them. Maybe they’re symbols of the secret friction and strife behind most things we find beautiful. Or maybe they’re just shiny and I like them. Either way, I loved making this for the lovely @ruvi.toviah .

I loved getting to work on this Beyoncé again. Yet another opportunity to apply things I’ve learned in the last year since we first worked on it. Super grateful to @badjimmyy for always bringing wonderful ideas and trusting me to execute them 💗

Little cutie fine line flower butterfly for a sweetheart in Alabama. Booking for May and June 🤍

There’s something great about being able to go back into pieces you started before with new knowledge. We added more depth and contrast to Nicki since she healed just a bit too light. I’m really happy with her now. Looking to do more little (or big) portraits like these.

This was a favorite from last weekend’s convention. All 3rl. Thank you to Kat for all the fun conversation and good energy 🤍 more like this please 🙂
#swallowtattoo #fineline #bngink #ladytattooer
I took a little solo road trip to Alabama to tattoo and hang with the homies. Next time I’ll do better to get pictures and videos with all of my favorite people and my clients too. Maybe the less content I get the more fun I had in the moment. Still so grateful for a great show and a great weekend @spacecitytattooexpo @thepeacefulwarrior. Thank you to everyone who got tattoos this weekend 🫶🏽 #cttattooartist #roadtrip #ladytattooer #finelinetattoo #blackandgrey #swallow #whatiwore #whatimade
Life’s all about balance 😏 I love it here. Books open 🤍
#ladytattooer #cttattooartist
I love when my clients let me draw on them. The original was done by someone else several years ago. I’m super excited to keep working on this project, especially those lotuses we added…
Books open, baby! Let’s work 🙂

Man, I love my job. Here’s another one from the guest spot at @highvisiongallery . I’m excited to put a bit more time into this one, we put in 5 hours this day. Really looking to expand my portfolio with more pieces like this so hmu for special prices #cttattooartist #ladytattooer #blackandgrey #cttattoo #lapieta #virginmarytattoo #religioustattoo #tatuaje #tatuajereligioso #hustlebutterdeluxe
Thank you so much to @highvisiongallery for having me last week. It was such a fun and enlightening experience. Everyone working at this shop is super talented and kind. It’s always a pleasure to be around other passionate people. Thank you to everyone who came to see me there! I’ll be posting some work from the week over the next couple days.
I’d love to do some sports portraits/tattoos! I’ll do it for the lowww tbh 🤭 Working on fake skin is so different than tattooing humans. All in all this was such a fun exercise. Most tattoos are possible on any skin tone so never let an artist tell you they can’t work on you. They’re just unqualified/lazy. #tattooartist #tattoolover #fakeskin #cttattooartist #ladytattooer #blackandgrey #gobirds #eaglesnation
This was my last tattoo of 2024. What a powerful quote for me to stare at for a couple hours. Don’t ever let anything or anyone instill you with doubt for yourself or your purpose. It’s not on you it’s in you 🫶🏽

I realized I don’t have enough individual images and videos of some of my favorite pieces on here. So I’ll be pulling from the archives for a little. I loved the way this piece framed her curves. She came with a concept and we made it our own. A good bit of this way drawn on. I definitely look forward to doing more pieces like this 🫶🏽

This piece was so much fun to create. Thank you Jenna for trusting the vision. I’d love to do some more pieces like this.
