🙅We're not waiting on ICE to ramp up unconstitutional searches & seizures in our state, and we know a lot of employers who may not be worried about federal agents are already struggling with the effects DOGE and tariffs are having on our local economies.

A very sad kitten hanging onto a branch in the style of a motivational poster, with the word “Dread” bottom left. And in the center a bouquet of flowers with the words “Devour Feculence”

Arm yourself with tough tattoos💪🏻 sneaky blastover of a heavy stick and poke in there too

#qttr #enbytattooartist #coveruptattoo #blastover #gutsnglorytattoo #hudsonvalleyny #hudsonvalleytattooartist

Close up photo of a black and grey tattoo that curves from a white clients wrist up to the hilt just below the elbow. The dagger is heavily patterned and has traditional shading, covering up a dagger stick and poke tattoo. Behind their arm we can see a blurry scene of a different tattooers station.

“When you’re Queer you never fear”
Bon Clay, non binary icon, in this essay I will explain how The LGBTQIA community of One Piece create a gay utopia within an imperial prison complex…

Artist is holding up their iPad in front of a wall of tattoo flash. On the iPad is the image of a custom drawn dagger in American traditional style with a swan and gem hilt. The words “queers never die” are to the right of the blade above blood drips. In the top left corner of the iPad we can see the reference of Bon Clay from One Piece the artist based the design on.

The tattoo is a traditional Americana design of a Victorian handshake, except on of the hands is a snake that is biting. The colors of the snake are green tones with a red belly and orange highlights. The hand is a pallid purple.

Artie hard at work adding designs to my flash book for walkins this Saturday 12-5pm at Guts N Glory Tattoo in Rosendale NY!

Artie, a grey and tan tabby with green eyes, lays on a teal couch with his paws over an IPad. On the screen is a tattoo design of Snoopy from Charlie Brown tattooing a scribble heart. Artie looks unamused to be used in his parents social media posting.

I’m really into being a “just a little guy”

A friendly reminder that when the world is a dumpster fire, being yourself is punk as fuck and to stay true to your heart

#queertattooartist #enbytattooartist #kindnessispunk #hudsonvalleyny

Close up of freshly done tattoo by Maria Vonn. Client is white and freckled, and we can see a bright read traditional American heart with the words “Stay True” across the center in negative space. The heart is decorated with a grey frame and two small traditional flowers. The tattoo is on the clients forearm and we can see their white tshirt and denim pants and the blurry background of the tattoo shop.

Todays appointments were from my book of wanna dos! A tough cat and a cute cat, because we contain multitudes.

How do you blue sky? Am I supposed to hashtag? Do I location? A/S/L? Help an old guy out

Close up photo of a tattoo on the side of clients thigh. The tattoo is black and grey ink of a roaring tiger face with an open mouth snapping at a butterfly. The tattoo is done in traditional Americana style.

Close up of a tattoo on clients upper arm, near elbow. The tattoo is black and get, done of the cartoon cat Felix, looking happy with one paw on his smile and emoting hearts. The tattoo looks adoringly up at the client.

Big yikes to learning new apps but here we go! I’m a non binary queer tattoo artist and illustrator based in the Hudson Valley NY. Cheers to a new way to network and form community 🐸

Tattoo on side of calf in black and grey of anime character Shikamaru smoking framed inside an open lighter with flame and Hidden Leaf Village Symbol. Tattoo done by Maria Vonn, in background you can see clients fuzzy socks and other pant let, and blue doors of tattoo shop.

Photo is angled from the floor showing a skateboard deck covered with the cut purple stencils used by Maria Vonn in the past year of tattooing. Vonn collaged all of the stencils using midge podge to decorate the skate deck and is posing sassily behind it in ripped baggy jeans and a tank top. They have cropped themselves so it’s just their torso and legs and skate deck- behind them you can see the Decoration of the tattoo shop they work at Guts N Glory Tattoo.
