Birthday Dog Memorial Portrait

On her birthday, Nicolette traveled from Atlanta to get a portrait of her beloved dog of 14 years. Though her pup is no longer here, she remains a cherished part of her heart. The experience was made even more special with a birthday celebration, highlighting that it's about the full experience, not just the ink.

South Park Crew on My Arm

I'm a huge South Park fan, so I decided to get Kyle, Stan, Kenny, and Eric tattooed on my right arm. This piece is my 11th tattoo in just a month, and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out!

Enhancing Bird Tattoo Placement

I have two birds on my arm that feel randomly placed. I'm looking for suggestions on how to make them look more complete without committing to a full sleeve. I want to add elements that tie them together and give them a finished look.
