Drawing of a tattoo, a folk art style black and grey baba yaga house with some large flowers around it to fill out the composition. The house had a chimney with smoke, shar shaped windows and a large eye above the front door.

My sense of purpose and my existential dread are having a neck-and-neck race and it's really annoying
I love getting the ol' "checkin in" texts from certain family members that make me question if maybe I got too dark on main again

A tattoo flash sheet called spring florals, two bunches of peonies surrounded in hand lettering (hand sized, flat rate $500 each) in Pinks, yellows, greens.
Wheeeee losing myself in lettering cus nothing matters WOOOOO

My hair has reached the Julian Casablancas phase, meaning, time for a wash
My resting state is rummaging around in my pockets
Worst part is, I'm always SO FUCKIN GRUMPY the next day (grumble grumble)
It's been (zero) days since I woke up from a nightmare about my ex with those same intense feelings in my guts. It's been almost 3 years. I'd love to stop waking up crying at 4:30 am pls.
Photo of me, taken by a client, as I was sitting criss cross applesauce on the floor taking photos of a tattoo I just completed on the photographer's ankle. I'm curled over in a particularly rounded poor posture way, head down, phone in one hand, paper towel with light smears of blood+plasma in the other (gloved) hand
Human crumple
Two drawings next to one another, the one on the left complete from 2020, the one on the right in progress. Both drawings are of a mischievous red demon pinup with long black hair posing amongst flames
Redraw of flash from 2020 for an American traditional style client
Fresh tattoo: mothman dressed as a noir dandy standing amongst the smoke from his joint, black and grey on a shin

Flat lay photo of some assorted paper things, like a block print of a moon + clouds, a sticker sheet of tattoo Flash, a swirly print with my shop logo on the center, a flash zine.

Tattoo flash page, three unfinished designs of planets with calm faces. Sun with clouds, moon with clouds and stars, and a nondescript planet with smoky rings
And now I’m gonna jump over to some flash, I want to finish these three tonight! I like work from home days. I also feel like maybe? I might be finding something resembling a groove today, which feels needed.
Rough tattoo design of mothman dressed in 1950s style with a fedora, smoking, superimposed onto a shin
And also this jaunty mothman????
Drawing of a sad clown with no eyebrows and a tall pointy hat super imposed over a photo of the back of the clients hand. References of other sad clowns provided by client on the right.
Do I get to tattoo a freaky little sad eyebrowless clown next week? DO I???
Working on bits for my latest loot bag. Up next, setting up ghost buttons and carving a lil stamp for some baby prints
I swear on my tiny stash of butterscotch pudding cups that this huge surge in ai is just a well timed scam to make us all distrust our eyes and ears. If we can't tell what's actually real anymore, it's a lot easier to sell the lie. I love being gaslit. #showerthoughts
Over the holidays, the woman who was giving me a massage (baby's second massage ever), described my non-dominant / left shoulder as "ropey and yecch"
Yeah that makes a LOT of sense. I don't really have the bandwidth for New Stories 🫠🫠🫠
