Dan always has the coolest ideas, and apparently the coolest grandma! This was a super fun tribute tattoo! Thanks everyone who asks for something unusual and out of the ordinary!

It’s always an honor to make meaningful tattoos for exceptional people! This piece is based on the traditional Norwegian folk art of rosmaling, and could not have gone on a cooler, stronger, or kinder lady.
Thank you Valerie for entrusting me with this piece!

✨ANNOUNCEMENT! PLEASE READ!✨
First, I want to thank Tribal Rites for the amazing opportunity. I have had the incredible honor these last 4 years to work alongside some truly talented, hard working, inspiring artists as well as an array of wonderful and sweet piercers and counter staff, every one of whom I’ll miss dearly. I’m so fortunate to know these amazing individuals and have learned so much. It is with mixed emotions I begin this next chapter.
I will be opening my own private studio, Ginkgo Tree Tattoo, @ginkgotreetattoo here in Fort Collins slated to open August 1st. All scheduled appointments will continue as planned, only any appts after August 1st will be at the new location. I will be emailing scheduled clients this upcoming week or two with details. An immense thank you to every one of you who has supported me throughout the years, and I look forward to seeing you in the new space! (at Fort Collins, Colorado)

I have to admit, I didn’t have ideas as cool as this when I got my first ever tattoo! (Or second, or third, or fourth…) Thanks Dante, it was a pleasure! This tattoo is to honor his grandmother, who loved to swim so much as a girl, they called her a mermaid. 🧜🏾♀️

I had the honor of tattooing this pretty/spooky lady face for Kyle yesterday!
I don’t undertake the tattooing of hands lightly. Thanks to all my clients for your trust, it means a lot to me.

“Circe Invidiosa” by John William Waterhouse, 1892.
Thank you so much @aragonae for choosing to get this beautiful piece as a tattoo! I love tattooing reproductions of classic art!

I cannot even begin to express how honored and exhilarated I am to have been able to meet so many strong, incredible people today. I tattooed sisters and mothers and daughters and survivors and allies. It’s a true inspiration to be a part of this event and a part of this sisterhood of compassion and support. Thank you to each of the participants, and to those who were unable to attend, to @stillnotaskingforit_flashevent for creating this, and to @savacenter for the important work you’re doing. It was humbling and empowering and so much more. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
