Thank you @cflynn.9 for grabbing this loony fella I drew up! Placed the same size and location as the three star fish we did, but on the other arm to match! Went with a simple black, grey, and red palette.

Common Loons (loons in general) are some of my favorite birds- will always be down to tattoo them!!!

Thank you Melanie (and @rnicole4223 for accompanying her)! Originally was going to use this ruby throated hummingbird and petunia to cover up text, but she ended up loving the text once there was something else to make the space not seem so empty!

Done guest spotting at @inkandfabletattoo. Thank you for having me!! Such a lovely and welcoming space! 🫶 Will be guesting here again- reach out if you’re in CT and not wanting to make the drive to Providence!

Thank you all!! 🤗🌟🌟

There’s no better way to welcome Fall than to finish a summer project. Originals drawn months ago in my sketchbook with pen and colored pencil. I cut them out and collaged them over a turmeric sun print I made using leaves collected from the areas where I saw each bird!

These were all birds I saw this summer- with a very exciting first sighting (lifer in birding terms) of a Yellow-Billed Cuckoo right above our mailbox!

The nuthatch is definitely a more well known/common bird compared to the others, but he was too cute gleaning for bugs on the oak trees so I had to include him.

⁕ White-Breasted Nuthatch 🌰 🐛

⁕ Common Yellowthroat 🍃 🌾 (claimed ‼️)

⁕ Yellow-Billed Cuckoo 🕰️ 📬

⁕ Scarlet Tanager 🐦‍🔥🍃

⁕ Louisiana Waterthrush 🌊🪨🌾

ALL AVAILABLE TO TATTOO ONCE ONLY! DM to book!🌟📖 🌟 🤗 Thank you all!

Thank you @eatingstrawberries for requesting a custom Ghost Orchid! Another big tattoo for your second one! Excited to mirror this design on the other arm next time, and also get a good healed Loon pic and maybe a little vid of all the pieces together!!

Thank you so much again Destiny! Means so much. Had a great time tattooing this for you after a month away thanks to a good ol’ chronic pain flare. Sending love to all of you out there who also deal with any fibro/chronic pain/illnesses reminding you the good times will come again too! They will!! Be gentle with yourself and remember to treat yourself like you’d treat a good friend 😌🫶🫶🫶🌟

Booking for Nov/Dec and onward! 🐦🍃

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to @jenn.is.listening for getting my original “Wood Duck” big and bold!

Got so much done in the first session, thank you for sitting for it despite the spice! Color next session 🤗

Drew this after seeing one of these amazing ducks poking their head out from their nest high up in a tree cavity! Whenever I come across them on the water they are always so quick to whistle away- elusive but beautiful!
