Deanna Wardin / Tattoo Artist

It’s really cool that nearly two decades into tattooing, I still get to try new things! I got to do this stylized David Lynch tattoo up at the Evergreen tattoo invitational. I learned to tattoo from an amazing portrait artist, but I never really tried myself… until now!

Abstract flowey watercolor tattoo designthat starts on the left hip, de ends down the leg, wraps around the calf and onto the left foot.

Fun abstract watercolor wrap around leg tattoo! This was made with a mix of stencils and hand drawing right on the skin. It’s such a gift to be given so much freedom and trust to tattoo pieces like this!

From their writting: Today I got the first tattoo that I cannot easily hide. It features an evil eye over a rainbow of geometric patterns and descending pink triangles. This both a symbol of protection and a commitment to protect the queer community while never hiding my queer identity. 1/2

The pink triangle was used in the holocaust to mark my queer ancestors when they were sent to concentration camps, even when the camps were closed and the survivors were set free, the gays were sent immediately to prison since it was still a crime back then… 2/2

I had the honor of tattooing this protection piece for my client inspired by some of their drawings. I’ll put an except of their writing in the comments.

the not-officially-a-SOTU begins in 30 minutes.

I propose that, for the entire duration of the speech, we post nothing but pets, birds, flowers, landscapes, comics, art, and other lovely things.

A large upper back tattoo that is covering up an old sun tattoo. The new tattoo has a spiraling nebula on the left side of the back, and a rocky moon and space gas on the right side. The edges are painterly and splattery, and the image is mostly black and grey with just a pop of warm colors.

The before picture of the tattoo that got covered. It’s a cartoon looking sun with a face inside making a side smile kind of face. The tattoo is aged and faded.

Finished the back part of this outerspace back and arm coverup tattoo project. #tattoo #coveruptattoo #spacetattoo #sftattooartist #tattooartist #artist

Absolutely gorgeous!

The best perk of being a tattoo artist is meeting amazing people. I’ve made lifelong friends,heard people’s life stories and learned about crazy industries. I now practice Bujinkan because of a tattoo client, and just got to go to Útila because of another. ❤️ What is it the best perk of your job?

Got to see these little friends all healed up! I did these watercolor dog and cow tattoos a couple of years ago. #tattoo #healedtattoo #sftattoo #watercolortattoo #dogtattoo #cowtattoo

Throwback to this tattoo. It is based on some of the principles of the martial arts that he teaches. The paper drawing is what he sent to me, and the tattoo is the final result!

Hi! Rad! Thank you so very much, I appreciate the help!

Figured my first post should be of this wacky guy… he stole my husband’s seat, so we let him cosplay as him for a bit. (Ralph, our dog, is not allowed up at the table by the way) 🤣
