A little view of my studio.

I operate a one person public studio with a private room where I tattoo and pierce.

I’ve worked as a professional tattooer since 2007 in Selkirk, MB and White Rock/Surrey on the unceded land of the Coast Salish peoples since 2013.

I kind of dropped out of the ‘tattoo scene’ 12 years ago. I signed up to attend a women’s tattoo collective weekend of workshops in nov.
looking forward to meeting the new generation of women tattooers out there and learning.

I use to use waverly's to paint wood cut outs 😃
This is probably close to 15 years ago.

Yeah, they're great. I ordered a set when Bill started making them years ago and they went fast.
I have a roll of arches I have to go through so I figured I'd give them a try again.❤️
I have tried gouache, it's nice too.👍

Just got a set of Waverly Color liquid acrylic watercolors. ❤️

Thinking about arranging a ‘Paint Night’ if there are any painters out there.

It’d be at my place. Room for 20. Time and Date TBD.

We met with Kathryn Marshall from Marshall Law today, and she has agreed to represent us in Felicity’s case. ❤️
We are so relieved and grateful to finally have a lawyer by our side.

Fraser Health's Indigenous Health lead is presented as an advocate for families. But when we sought reconciliation, that "advocate" became a gatekeeper for the legal department.

An advocate who reports to the institution they work for is a risk manager.

Use Bluesky regularly?
Very little. 1-10 A lot

I use to be a 9. Now I see a lot less art, tattoos so I’m more like a 4.

I’m not sure if most tattoo artists have gone back to Insta or just never left and don’t use Bluesky anymore.

I was beading at Crescent Beach and this lady photographer came and took my pic and gave it to me. That is some great hustling. ❤️ I always admire people out hustling their businesses.
