Zoe Bean Tattoo

Love this little batty bat!

You are my favorite!

I made this tattoo for Kat in March 2021 based on The Starless Sea by @erinmorgenstern. Kat & I are getting ready to add & it reminded me how much I love making literary tattoos.

What’s your favorite book & how can we make a tattoo out of it?!

Our free heart event at Keepsake Studio in South Orange, NJ last weekend was amazing! We tattooed so many of you but still didn’t get everyone in. We will continue to offer these dotted hearts at a discount for the foreseeable future.

These past few weeks have been hard. Like you we are scared & unsure what to do. Being artists & running a small business feels so strange in the face of real danger to so many of us right now. As we steel ourselves for the battle ahead we know that real resistance comes from love & joy.
