Got to do this wonderful piece for a really wonderful client! Hope can be hard to hold onto sometimes, but we try to find ways to give it to ourselves when we really need it most. Tattooing is something that gives me hope. For my followers: tell me one thing that gives you hope every day!

Another bike chase from my flash! It was fun getting to pick some different colors out for this one! #traditionaltattoo

Knocking this down from $750 to $650, this would be perfect for a chest, stomach or back!! #traditionaltattoo #traditionaltattooflash #fantasytattoo #fantasycreature #kentuckytattoo #kentucky #lexingtonky #queerartist

Incarcerated Kentuckians already barely get medical care or a standard of living as is, this is nothing but a cruel joke.

Trying to catch up on moving my content over to Bluesky, here’s some recent flash I’ve painted, all designs available to tattoo! #traditionaltattoo #flashtattoo #flashpainter #traditionaltattooflash #piratetattoo #lexingtonky #kentucky

This was a really fun one from last year done from flash by @inkmagnolia.bsky.social

They just started a feed called Erotic Tattoo and I definitely think you should give it a look. Use #erotictattoo to join the fun!

Fuck these guys, for real.

Wow, I think I got more engagement on my first Bluesky post than I have on any single on my Instagram

A red and orange koi fish tattoo on an upper arm. The fish is in a leaping pose, with blue waves and cherry blossom branches behind it.

Super fun Koi fish from a little while ago, this was a challenging piece but I enjoyed every second of the process! #japanesetattoo #koifishtattoo #koifish #traditionaltattoo #lexingtonky #kentucky
