Finally got to tattoo this one from my pre-drawn designs! Cait, you’re an absolute gem, thanks for the freedom 🖤 I’ve got several other pre drawn designs available in my highlight if you’re feeling spontaneous (or just need some inspo for your next piece).

Some of these pieces were made with a specific brief, others were full creative freedom. Both are my favourite kind of project. I love collaborating on ideas to create something custom and special. If you’ve got an idea (or even just the beginning of one), DM me. Let’s see what we can make together 🖤

40 moth (and butterfly) tattoos in 20 seconds 🦋 Moths are probably my most requested animal or insect and they’re still one of my favourite things to tattoo. If you want a moth or butterfly tattoo save this post for inspo and send me a dm to collaborate on your own custom design 🖤

Oh look, another floral tattoo 🌸 A couple complimentary pieces done during my last visit to Canada. If you like a cohesive matching look without symmetry this is the way to go (and probably my favourite way to do a “matching set”).

Can we talk about cover ups for a moment? l’ve been getting messages lately from people who are almost apologetic asking if I’d even want to do one. But honestly, they’re some of my favourite projects. There is something super rewarding about helping someone fall back in love with their skin. It never gets old hearing that a client is finally happy to wear a tank top or shorts again after years of covering up. So if you’ve got a tattoo you’ve been hiding or just don’t love anymore please don’t be shy about reaching out. My DMs are always open, let’s talk about what’s possible together 🤍

One from a little while ago. Did this Japanese-inspired piece on back to back days. Thanks so much Sam!

We started Meg’s leg as a stand-alone piece, and now it’s slowly evolving into a full botanical sleeve one piece at a time. That’s my favourite part about work like this: it doesn’t have to be planned all at once. We can keep building on it and still have everything flow seamlessly no matter the stage. Perfect if you’re not quite ready to commit to a full sleeve or you prefer to spread out your appointments more… just saying 💁🏼‍♀️

I’ll never get tired of floral tattoos 🌸 Thank you so much Emma!! When it comes to custom pieces you can be as hands-on or hands-off as you like. Bring me a full vision or just a loose concept, we’ll shape something that feels like you. DM me when you’re ready to start collaborating on your next piece 🖤
