I forgot to take a pic before we put the derm on, but here’s the Plant Coven Sigil from Owl House 🌱 Just ignore the shine and bit of blood.
Lucy let me make a few little adjustments so that it’s more custom and I love how cute it turned out! I just got a new machine and am loving how well it packs things in. taken in Vancouver, Washington by @ripzilla.tattoo

Forever obsessed with creepy things and baroque filigree. New design is now available! This would be great as a gap filler, I am more than happy to change the placement of the cord so you can finally fill in that awkward bare spot. Price is for full color, but black and grey is always an option. Fill out my booking form in my bio or DM to claim! taken in Vancouver, Washington by @ripzilla.tattoo

Scar cover ups!
I love, love, love doing these. They are so rewarding and the huge difference it makes for my client’s self esteem is why I became a tattoo artist. Here’s a selection of some of my favorites that I’ve done. The Rosey Maple Moth and Treasure Planet in these pictures are healed, Stitch is fresh. If you have any questions about scar cover ups feel free to DM me and we can even set up a free consultation! taken in Vancouver, Washington by @ripzilla.tattoo

Cute simple belly button flower and tiny touch up on the bumblebee! The bee is 2 months healed, flower is fresh! I’m very excited to see how these colors heal. This was my first time using UV reactive ink on melanated skin and I am super pleased with the immediate results.

Some colors tend to be less visible after healing depending on exact skin tone and undertone, but I’ve never seen results from this type of ink on darker skin. Thank you, Kathryn for helping me try it out! taken in Vancouver, Washington by @ripzilla.tattoo

The age old question…what should I get for a memorial tattoo? Here we have a fine selection of “cat licking its own butthole, censored with a rose”. Just proof that it doesn’t have to be so serious.

Added a bit of UV reactive ink for flair! It tends to stand out best when the rest of the design is a darker color.

Last slide is a healed pic of a tattoo I did early on in my apprenticeship. Good ole’ Oiberg! taken in Vancouver, Washington by @ripzilla.tattoo

Fun fact: I cry every. single. time. I watch Lilo and Stitch. Usually multiple times throughout.

This was super fun and cute scar cover up! I would love to do more cute cartoons, I’ve been having a lot of fun with these. (Keep in mind that scar tissue tends to raise up and react to skin trauma such as tattooing. These pictures were taken immediately post tattoo) For anyone curious about getting tattooed over scar tissue, I am always available for a free consultation! taken in Vancouver, Washington by @ripzilla.tattoo
