Illuminatic

I know some of my clients have met Oliver, he was entered into Baby of the year and got selected for the competition.
I would love to see him win this 😌

If you could go vote for him, we would greatly appreciate it. It’s free but you’re more than welcome to donate to the organization. If you do please send me a screenshot and I will give you a discount on your next appointment.

He deserves the world and I’m so proud he got picked to enter.
It’s free to vote and you can do it daily until the competition ends.

Much love from our family to yours 💕
Thank you all 😌

Is Oliver the Baby of the Year? One baby will appear in a national ad campaign with The Honest Company, win $25,000, and be celebrated in Variety Magazine.

I totally forgot to post this project I’ve been chipping away at. I could tattoo stuff like this all day everyday. I’d love to do another sometime 😌

Having a son has made me rethink everything I do. Moving forward my schedule will be pretty bumpy, I’ve got dozens of people in queue for booking the past three weeks because of this transition. This is my schedule for next month, I already have some of these dates reserved.

I will post my schedule every three months, however I do have the responsibility of overtime and might have to reschedule if I am drafted.
I have been a very reliable artist for most of my career, but this job has all of my attention. I will offer walk in availability through posting on here.

I love tattooing, I will never quit. But this opportunity will allow me to become strictly about the art 🖼️ I tattoo a lot better if I’m not making ends meet.
80-100k a year was hard to pass up with benefits. I can easily make that tattooing but the overhead, insurances, materials and time required to make that can be very draining and bad on the body.

Most of my clients have been a godsend with their patience, I appreciate all of you.
Bring me all of the fun pieces ♥️
I’ll be able to tattoo a lot more whenever I move to night shift.

I’d like to book a booth at Villian Arts or East coast conventions next year with my paid time off. So if you’d like to consult with me about a trip, hit me up.

Finished this up tonight 🙏
One of my favorite pieces.

I used no black in this, just some color theory and contrast. Which is pretty tricky.
I always turn my color compositions black and gray to make sure everything is in place.

My next giveaway will be in October or November, everyone is welcome to participate but there will be a twist.

From now on if you donate to Children’s Haven or Ronald McDonald house. Every dollar will count as an entry. It might be $5 per entry, I haven’t decided.

I want to be as far away from these donations as humanly possible, so I will need to ask both of these organizations how to go about donating so everyone can send me their screenshots. I would count items if you physically donate them as well. They just have to meet the standards of these organizations.

It’s unfair for a participant to have dozens or hundreds of entries, but if it’s going towards children in need I will sleep well at night.
The winner will be getting a two day back to back session. So I hope it all works out how I am envisioning it.

I’ve gave back to the community and my clients for a long time I’ve just never announced it. Since opening I’ve tattooing several Veterans free of charge along with clients that have lost their loved ones and needed a tattoo but were low on funds. I can recall many things I’ve done for everyone, but giving back to children will probably be the coolest.

Love you all 🙌❤️✨
