Howdy, Bluesky! ✿ Welcome to my page! I’m a tattooer in Hot Springs, Arkansas at Pale Horse Tattoo! I’ve been in love with tattoos and the idea of tattooing since I was a tiny child, and I’ve been tattooing since 2007 and enjoy doing custom work as well as reinventing classic flash! Come say hi! ✿

Flower on a walk-in from Texas. This flower is an original from some flash by my friend and co-worker, Nancy Miller. Come see us for more! We have so much hand-painted flash hanging on our walls! Downtown Hot Springs, Arkansas! ✿ WITH LOVE! ✿

I have portfolios packed full of line-drawings I’ve done, many completely original and some stylized classics. Please come flip through and find something that speaks to you!

Fresh sheet for the walls, all original designs, hand-drawn and painted: pencil, nib, brushes, and ink on 11x14 paper. I’d love to tattoo them! ✿ WITH LOVE! ✿

Did this one on a friend from out of state based on a design on her shower curtain. I love finding inspo in random places! ✿ WITH LOVE! ✿

Turned this classic Hell Diver into a Harley-Davidson tattoo. Initially, I painted it, and a client wanted it tattooed. ✿ WITH LOVE! ✿

Hell Diver repurposed for Harley-Davidson. Painting I did a few months ago. I’ll post the tattoo I got to do from it later. 5x7” ink on paper. ✿ WITH LOVE! ✿

Stippled tattoo on a friend. Come in and tell me your budget, and I’ll do a hell of a lot of work to honor that. I just love tattooing, and I’d rather be tattooing than not! ✿ WITH LOVE! ✿

Lil’ zombie pin-up from a couple weeks ago. Been a long time since anyone’s requested anything zombie related. Happy with how this one came out! ✿ WITH LOVE! ✿

Spider webs the nipples/areolas of a friend who drove a few states over to get them done by me. It went really well, and she let me get this righteous Polaroid. For many reasons, it’s one of my favorite photos I’ve ever taken, especial given the sentiment of my now closed studio. ✿ WITH LOVE! ✿
