Ok there's quite a few more horror enthusiasts around these parts now so I guess I should introduce myself! I'm Dailen, I make comics and drawings (and more recently, tattoos), usually of things that make my brain go brrrr.
Trying to make a point to post on social media again but like... how long will it last lol

One* must imagine Laika, Patron Saint of One-Way Trips, frolicking in the cosmos, chasing the stars, basking in the light and sleeping sweetly in the cool darkness, space dust sparkling in her fur.
*it's me, I'm one, her story makes me too emotional otherwise lmao 💀

Hey Comics!
It looks like this year marks my last San Diego Comic Con. (Booth 708, if you're around and would like to say hi!) I just wanted to write a quick thank you to everyone who has made these years some of the most wild and special of my entire life. !

My partner's grandmother turns 90 next month and I'm attending her birthday in Nebraska and considering how conservative that side of the family is, I (a queer tattoo artist with a facial piercing) am planning to go off like a flashbang dropped on that party

Thinking about a rebrand as I step farther into tattooing 🤔

I genuinely have so much beef with the recent trend of visible corsetry in ready to wear gowns because they NEVER ACTUALLY FIT THE MODEL

Working on refining the flash sheet I'll use when I take tattoo volunteers, but The Horrors have given me burnout and the wells are running dry. What's a small tattoo you'd like to have? Pitch me some ideas pls 👀
