Had a couple asks on seashells. You asked, I listened! Non-repeatable, happy to do variations. DM to claim your exoskeleton 💫🐚 #seashell #tattoo #linework #tttism #illustration

Lady the dachshund for Nat. Little but spicy. Tiny but mighty. Thank you for giving me the creative freedom for your little baby. Would love to do more pet portraits in this style.

You smile I smile 🫶🏼 Live portraits from @taipeiartbookfair got my heart feeling full again! Yes I wrote “hello, I’m 蜜雪儿 (mi xue er)“ instead of my own Chinese name and @badbbbbbbbbbbbbb will make sure I never forget this #taipei #taipeiartbookfair #illustration #portrait #liveportrait #artist

Charlie the black lab for Matt in a doodle style! A little awkward, a little shy, a lot of black. Got a baby (pet preferred) to celebrate? Let’s make it happen. #petportrait #pettattoo #femaletattooartist #tttism #singaporetattoo

Turritella shell off my flash for Faith. A shell whose spiral geometry reminds us to evolve, move slowly, and look inwards. Thank you for adopting this little looper 🌀 #shelltattoo #finelinetattoo #singaporetattoo #sgtattoo #tttism

Some bts of what’s been going down the last few weeks at @intheb00nies . The carousell hunt and set up was intense, and I’m grateful for my bbs @kiwoijo & @nusxela_ who joined me in the search / heavy lifting / cleaning / assembling of all the bits and bobs. I’m grateful for it all! To be part of this creative community with @barelydada & @itsjustbora aka @itsalwaysasunday @finderskeepers_studio . Finally found a space to display some of the antiques I’ve been collecting for years as well. The energy is buzzing and you’ll feel it. Come by, come browse, come hang.

We’re growing! Welcome @like.lakes to the space. A dear friendship built from thrifting carpets, sisterhood & life drawing sessions together & now she’s here as our resident tattoo artist at intheboonies. Another creative brain in the booniejuice. Come visit us, say hi, and see what she’s working on. We’re so glad you’re here Michelle! 🫶🏽 Photos: @itsalwaysasunday

Little derpy doodly unamused Charlie for Joy. What’s going through her mind? We’ll never know. Thank you for celebrating your lil black blob with me 🙏🏼 Swipe for the timelapse! Would love to work on more whimsical pet portraits, dm to connect. #petportrait #pettattoo #ignorantstyletattoo #tttism #femaletattooartist

Seems to be the year One Piece enters my orbit cos rubber boy is now not the only thing I know. Custom 💫 witchy ✨ ethereal devil’s fruit for Illya. First tattoo for one of my besties. The honour is absolutely mine. #onepiecetattoo #femaletattooartists #illustrationtattoo #sgtattoo #tttism

Lost in the sauce of designing a custom tattoo and had to animate it. Why can’t we be friends? #illustration #animation #tattoo

Couple custom fishes for Stella - a dedication to her partner & mother in law, who always save her the best parts of the fish during mealtimes. That’s my kind of love language ✨ Would love to turn your memory into ink. Let’s chat 🌀 #tattoo #linework #sgtattoo #illustration #fishtattoo

Crossed paths with @tiredbutwoke_ and @tororo.aoi of @breadfactory_co sometime in mid 2024 whilst getting my portrait done by Ash at a work event. A brief exchange which somehow led to an invitation to guest at Bread Factory. I remember being genuinely so surprised, cos like, meee? You think my small portfolio’s deserving of a space at your factory? We just met! That moment became a quiet but significant turning point for me, I’d been waiting for a sign to take the jump for a while. I’ve been guesting with BF for a little over a year now, this space held me through the earliest stages of my tattoo journey. Walked in as a guest, but was met with hospitality and generosity, folks who were open, patient, and willing to share their knowledge so freely. Crossed paths with some incredible creatives here - @kobi.tatu @inkofsarama @tsukidoki . Inked some of my closest friends; had individuals entrusting their first tattoos to me; fostered friendships out of clients. Just a guest, but damn I’m sentimental about what was built here. The bread’s been baked. We’re all onto our separate paths now. Thank you Jasper, for being the mentor I didn’t know I needed. I picked up tattooing elsewhere but mastered the art of tattooing with ganjue under your guidance, iykyk. We’re onwards a new space I’m calling home for my practice. Very necessary honourary mention to Jia Xiang, Soup Society and Jin Feng Mei Shi, some of the dopest chinese foods that fueled me before and after my sessions. We’ll meet again! x
