Two ravens for Andrew’s HANDS!!! This was such an intensely important piece to me to execute well and to say I am so HONOURED and PROUD to be trusted with such a tattoo is still somehow an understatement. I am sooo excited over how these turn out and how they’re healing and so happy to get to share them with you all on here <3 THANK YOU ANDREW!!!!

FOR MIKAELA!! Lantern 1 of 2 sorta kinda matching for angel girls @tattoowithmik and @inkbyjamie (who will get her own post very soon) ⋆✴︎˚｡⋆⋆˚꩜｡
I love working with Mikaela and her ideas because she pushes me to experiment with techniques I don’t always do! We did this lantern completely in grey wash because her goal was to have a softer heal for those teeny tiny fine lines (scroll to the end to see how the different shades of grey heal + how we were able to get an awesome contrast between the darker lantern and wispy flames as a result) :•) such a blessing to be trusted so fully with so much of your leg Mik, love u <3

JOSH!!!!! my first set of sleeves FULLY healed with two wee final additions + touch ups. When we did our first consult September of 2024 I could have never imagined what this project would grow into. Such a special thing to spend so much time with someone and be shown so much faith in my work. I am SO thankful for Josh’s trust and dedication. It is simply an honour to have got to bring his vision/ideas to life and I am so grateful. WOW wow wow 🖤
