Very professional boy

A pin-up style illustration of an anime fairy on a big red strawberry covered in cream. She has short blonde hair, blue eyes, dragonfly-like wings, and shiny blue antennae. She is wearing a shiny blue bikini, black thigh high latex stiletto boots, black latex opera gloves, and a black collar.

Happy Valentine’s Day, Bluesky!
Decided to do a little pin-up practice for the holiday 🤭

(If you know where the reference is from, no you don’t 🙃)

A smattering of pastel-colored conversation heart illustrations on a whole background. The messages on the hearts range from naughty to nice.

But like, what am I going to do with all of these dumb little conversation hearts? 🙃

Man, I really need to up my camera game but I had the pleasure of tattooing a fellow firefighter yesterday! 🔥🪓

Waz has been volunteering in the community for over 50 years!

I love you 😂

A small white and faun calico cat is loafing on a white and blue pattered tablecloth in front of a white wall. She has a heart-shaped spot on her side. Light from the window is coming in from the left side of the frame.

Kasuri NY and Pema Tattoo are closed today for the nationwide general strike and in solidarity with all of the communities currently being ravaged by DHS.

Fuck ICE, contact your representatives, and find local actions to participate in!

A couple of works in progress

ICE needs to be abolished. We don’t need Gestapo in the US.

A cartoon of Finn from Adventure Time kicking the Ice King with Donald Trump makeup in the stomach. The words in red behind them read “NO ICE” and “NO KING”.

Imma say it until I’m blue in the face and then I’ll catch my breath and repeat 😤

Based off of a sticker my dear friend @thesporceress.bsky.social sent me (almost a year ago now??)

ICE just gunned down ANOTHER person, beating a man half to death before shooting him at point blank range. What the fuck are we doing?

ARREST ICE NOW. PROSECUTE ICE NOW.

I will not rest until every single one of these murderers is held accountable to the communities they terrorize.

Oh yeah, dude basically got to experience what having a period was like, in terms of bleeding at least.

Nia had to wear a menstrual pad for like 5-6 days after their PA piercing. I think it’s fairly normal for genital piercings since it’s so easy for clothing/movement to disrupt scabbing.

That is so metal
