after touchup! a single-line cerberus tattoo, with a red fineline pomegranate added at their request. i thickened some of the lines and added some line weight to create a brush-pen effect to cover my errors without making the whole outline too thick.

before the touchup! the tattoo was supposed to be fineline but it was very inconsistent, faded in some areas and blown out in others.

finally got to touch up the 2nd tattoo i ever did on a human person! ("before" photo screengrab from insta)

truly incredible to remember how far I've come. biggest thanks to all my wonderful friends who were an integral part of my learning process 🫶

so many closed practices or "borrowed" elements from global religions in today's metaphysical community.. all while downplaying the experiences and knowledge of bipoc practitioners 💀

a well-healed ghost mantis tattoo, perched on some crispy dead leaves for camouflage

snagged this ✨️healed✨️ photo the other day when i encountered my client in the wild! this lil guy healed up soo perfectly 🫶

after touchup, the colors are much brighter and the blown out lines are no longer visible, hidden under deeper colors toward the edges. i also added a few petals and leaves and extended the stem to improve the flower's overall shape.

before touchup, the colors were very faded and flat, and the lines were too thick and blown out. the structure of the flower was not quite right, and made it a bit hard to tell what it was.

fixed up an old bird of paradise tattoo!
