A Leaf From The Great Valley... 🦕🌿✨

This piece was so special to work on. My friend wanted to honor the bond she shares with her sister through the iconic Tree Star from The Land Before Time. In the movie, it’s a symbol of hope and finding your way home—the perfect tribute to family.

For the design, I wanted to take that childhood nostalgia and give it a more "mature," botanical feel. We added realistic leaf veins, water droplets, and kept those classic "bite marks" to stay true to the story.

I’m so honored @beenzyluv trusted me to bring this meaningful memory to life. Thank you so much 🙏

Number 6 and a huge personal milestone: my very first time working with color! 🐯🎨
I’m feeling incredibly humble today. Not only was this a leap into a new world of saturation and color theory, but it was also a cover-up for a large scar. I had so much fun learning how to work with the natural flow of the skin to transform the area into something new.

I know I still have a long way to go and so much to learn, but I’m so grateful for the trust Jeff put in me for this transformation. Thank you so much! 🙏This blue-flame tiger was a blast to bring to life!

Thank you all for following my journey. What do you think of this color combo for my first attempt?

Number 4 in the books 😆 pun intended!

Collaboration is where the best art happens. ✨

My friend knew she wanted a book piece, so we sat down and talked through the vision together. I took our ideas to the screen to design something custom that would drift perfectly into the space she had left.

It was such a privilege to take this from our initial conversation, to the digital sketch, and finally onto the skin. I’m so appreciative of "canvases" like Sabrina who trust the process and let me help bring their ideas to life. 📖💨

Thank you so much @beenzyluv for believing in me 🙏

Number 3 is in the books. 🍀
Originally, I had a whole different vision for this one with 3D details and highlights (swipe to see the Procreate sketch). But then my nephew stepped in as the official Creative Director.
His feedback? 'Actually, I just make it matte black.'
You can’t argue with the boss! It’s bold, solid, and exactly what he wanted. 🖤

Huge thanks to Thompson 🙏

Tattoo #2 🍀 This one was special! Got to ink my brother with a custom four-leaf clover. The ‘NEST’ letters represent his kids, making this piece way more than just a design.
From the Procreate sketch to the final result, I’m loving the process. Huge thanks to Darrell for trusting me with his skin for my second piece! Swipe to see the digital design and my mobile setup for the day.

I’m officially taking bookings for more mobile sessions! If you have an idea you want to bring to life, shoot me a DM and let’s talk design. 📲✨

From practice skins to the real thing!

After a year of dedicated training, refining my technique, and obsessed over the craft, I’m beyond excited to finally be tattooing skin 😊 This journey has been a long time coming, and I’m enjoying every single second of the process.
Huge thank you to those who have supported me during the "fake skin" days—it’s time to make it permanent!
Also for those who are helping and encouraging me along my journey 🙏 I'm forever grateful! 🫶

🖤 I’m officially looking for more skin projects to build my portfolio.
📩 DM if you’re interested in a piece!
