LUST4LETTERS | OCTOBER 2026

A little update! I’m finally making my way back to tattooing after seven months away.

I’m easing back into things with a limited schedule, starting with friends and family as I get back into my rhythm and continue exploring the direction I want to take my work.

Moving forward, I want to be more intentional about the projects I take on, focusing primarily on fine line, lettering, ornamental and geometric work, micro-realism, and select illustrative pieces.

I’m also excited to introduce FEEL SOMETHING FLASH DAYS, a new monthly flash series I’ve been wanting to put together for some time now. Each release will feature a small collection of original designs, available in limited quantities through private booking.

I’ll be sharing more details soon, including how to join the mailing list for early access to upcoming flash sheets.

For now, my October availability is up! Please refer to the icon key for available AM and PM slots.

If you’re interested in booking, feel free to send me a DM.

Thank you to everyone who’s continued to show love and interest in my work while I’ve been away. I’m looking forward to creating again! 🤞🏽 by @lust4letters

me and Coco had some funnnn yesterday 🤪🦋
healed “Sky” by moi

we finally got to style her hand with the cutest pieces. We spent most of our time figuring out what elements she wanted where and how to style them together.

I like to remind clients: just because they’re “little” tattoos doesn’t mean it’ll always be a quick in & out process. So much happens day of. You see the design, gotta find what sizing calls to you, maybe you need to make an alteration to an element or adjust the scale. You get the stencil on skin and may not feel how it sits on your body, so back to square one. OR sometimes your client gets there, sees the stencil, and goes for the gusto 🤣

I think one of the most important things (in the plethora of important parts of this whole process) is reminding my clients that their opinion absolutely matters, especially with something that’s gonna be on them for all the days to come.

It’s always fun watching clients peek over at their piece mid-session and get activated. Their whole demeanor shifts and that energy transfers right over to me, or sometimes I get hyped first and they feed off it lol. Shit’s exciting hahah

Thank you for the trust, Coco by @lust4letters

Unalome for Tiara 🪷🌙
•••
An unalome is a spiritual symbol representing the journey to enlightenment. The spiral and straight lines symbolize life’s twists, turns, and the path to inner peace amid chaos. The lotus is a symbol of purity and enlightenment in various cultures, especially in Buddhism. It grows in muddy water but emerges clean, symbolizing spiritual awakening and the journey to enlightenment despite life’s challenges. The crescent moon often symbolizes transition, change, and the passage of time. In various cultures, it can also have associations with femininity, intuition, and the cyclical nature of life.
