I did this “ongoing memorial” tattoo for a client today to memorialize her cats. Her first cat’s paw print is at the top of the tree, and more paw prints will be added as they pass over the years. 💗

I love refreshing old tattoos! This 27 year old little lizard got some new life today.

If a tattoo artist draws on your skin with a Sharpie marker that’s been used before, you may want to go elsewhere! Sharpies can pick up and transmit MRSA, which can live on the skin, from one person to another. Artists should only use sterilized single use skin markers.

Fellow tattooers who may not be aware of this! Here is a great resource I use to find out if a symbol a potential client might want is actually a hate symbol. With fascism unfortunately on the rise, we must stay vigilant. www.adl.org/resources/ha...

Hellboy - hell yeah! My most recent flash piece is looking for a fellow Hellboy/Mignolaverse lover for me to put it on 😉

I had a client bring their (very verbose) 4 year old with them to their consultation, who tried hard to convince me to give her a tattoo of a flower or the puppy toy she was carrying. She didn’t want to wait for a real one, so I made some temporary ones to send with her mom. 😉

I have a treasure chest full of prizes like at the dentist for after I do a tattoo, to make the owies go away. Prizes include squishy animals and stickers. A lot of the stickers are homemade, AND they can also become tattoos if someone likes one so much that they want it to be one!

Awhile back I made this flash based on just a few of GDT’s beautiful creatures - I’m still hoping another lover of all things GDT will to come to me so I can finally tattoo them! 🙏 @realgdt.bsky.social @brambleclawtattoo.bsky.social #tattooflash #guillermodeltoro #monsters #creatures #tattooartist
