Lucky Tattoo


This tattoo is about 2.5 inches across. The customer requested a simple script design in black, with stars and sparkles around it. I was able to come up with something simple, feminine and well balanced, I'm really happy with how this turned out.

Double Infinity Tattoo


This tattoo is about 2 inches long, and is for the inner wrist. It's a double infinity, with the initial of each parent on the outer edges, and the names of their two children on the inside. The customer requested something calligraphic and feminine, and I think this delivered on both.

Unlucky 13 Pig Tattoo


I designed this for a friend of mine. He requested a pig, and the number 13, and let me take off with the rest. I thought it would look neat as an old encylopedia illustration, with different (and not quite accurate) cuts of meat marked off on it.

mermaid in a teacup


Initially this request was for a retro styled mermaid in a bathtub. 
It eventually evolved into a more modern cartoon design. (Much like Fafi)
She specifically was drawn to big features, a soft face and some details around the tub. This is a version where the mermaid was in a teacup.

lotus mandala tattoo addition


 
Request for an addition to an already existing tattoo (of two circles) to symbolize the loss of a daughter and life without her. 
Initially the customer was interested in a tribal sun tattoo, but was inspired by the suggestion of a mandala. 
She wanted feminine lines with a vintage floral feel. 
This is a slightly different version, without the double circles of the original tattoo, however this design is not for anyone else's use and is now property of the customer.
To be tattooed on the inner arm.

chase that feeling tattoo



Request was for a simple, text only tattoo that reads "chase that feeling" in black. It is to be a self reminder of the complete bliss for the customer. 
"In Costa Rica last year, I got caught in a torrential downpour at the bottom of a beautiful waterfall. There was no point in covering up and trying to stay dry, so instead I laid on my back on the rocks and just stared up at the sky as the rain came pouring down. THAT feeling is what I never want to stop seeking... 'chase that feeling'"
