Hi! My name is Shelby, I'm a PA-based queer fem tattooist! I'm an anxious potato that hates pain, so I try to make the tattoo process as calming and pain-free as possible! Interested in booking with me? Check out my Linktree above to fill out my studio's booking form!

This man is deeply unwell.
A tweet from Elon Musk (@elonmusk) that reads: **"My companies make great products that people love and I’ve never physically hurt anyone. So why the hate and violence against me? Because I am a deadly threat to the woke mind parasite and the humans it controls."**

I think we’re already there.
X post conversation. The top post is from NewsWire (@NewsWire_US ), featuring a logo with the text "NEWSWIRE" and a verification badge. The text reads, "Trump says he will declare violence against Tesla dealerships domestic terrorism." Below this, there is a reply post from Ravi Mangla (@ravi_mangla ), showing a profile picture of a person wearing a cap and speaking into a microphone. The reply text reads, "We're close to Cybertrucks having more rights than women." The posts reflect a critical and satirical tone regarding a statement attributed to Trump and its implications.

A federal judge in Washington, D.C., ruled that DOGE is subject to government transparency laws, allowing the public to access government records—a legal defeat for the White House, which had designated DOGE as an office exempt from open records laws.

BREAKING: HUNDREDS of New Yorkers have swarmed and shut down the Tesla dealer in Manhattan. Six have been arrested after occupying the showroom. Protests are erupting across America to reject Musk's billionaire regime. This is how we beat fascism.

Mass direct action.

🌲Sending the warmest thanks to everyone who stopped by my booth today at Stockton University's Lines on the Pines.

🌲I had so much fun nerding out over art, arthropods, and the unique ecosystem of the NJ pine barrens!

The feeling when your sperm doner doesn't want anything to do with you for the past 30 years because you didn't fit his expectations as to what a child, "should," be, and he suddenly decides he wants to try and form a relationship. Get bent and pay me for all this money I've spent on therapy instead

Thoughts on boycotts: inflict pain on the corporation. Buying a couple 99 cent ebooks from a self-published author on Amazon is fine. Don’t buy a microwave on it. Purity is never the answer. Restraint though and thoughtfulness is.

I have an Etsy store too! It’s on the newer side so I don’t have any sales through there yet, and I’m running a sale on my items through there to account for that!

Don’t forget about tomorrow’s Take Down Tesla protests happening across the country! Since we launched the Elon boycott, Tesla’s stock has plummeted from over $400 to $262. Let’s keep the momentum going!

Last year, an author mentioned my shop on her substack. It changed my income so drastically that this is the spike of orders from that *one* mention last year. Word of mouth for an artist can change everything.

I'm so bad at this. I have too many social media accounts to try to keep up with. Here's some smaller tattoos I've done recently.

One thing I'm fucken sick of hearing is that people on the poverty line "don't want handouts."

Well, the rich take hand outs. Maybe they're rich bc they were offered handouts. Maybe they're rich bc they take them.

This "shame in receiving free money" for the poor but not the rich makes me SO MAD

When my dog passed away, I coped with my grief by making art, and one of my projects was obsessively creating a series of small ceramic sculptures.
