Victorious Ink Parlor

How do we utilize that last bit of raw honey with the honeycomb still in there for my morning latte? LET’S FIND OUT!!

*notes: latte art is super hard to pour 1-handed; yes, my shot pulled too quickly but I really had one shot at this (yes, pun intended) so I kinda had to go with it!

Fun lil’ ivy wrapped up around the knee. Thankfully, there were ZERO sensitive spots throughout this tattoo . . . 😳

Unique, floral, Deathly Hallows tattoo with an earthy vibe to it.

All color tattoos are definitely fun but always a good challenge to develop contrast with colors that will hopefully last a lifetime.

As stated by my lovely client last night in the midst of a particularly painful part of the tattoo.

Cute little mother/daughter tattoo ❤️ 😊

It’s always bittersweet finishing a full arm sleeve or back piece. You invest so much time and effort drawing and collaborating, regular sessions every month, adjusting and perfecting as you go along. It’s such an on-going process — it’s weird to finally be finished.

The concept is the balance and constant battle between your brain (everything methodical, logical, precise) and your heart (anything beautiful, inspired, random, even chaotic). There’s a perfect balance between them both. This piece shows cutouts of the geometric precision to show random beauty in nature, sometimes in unexpected places. And the colored beauty trying to spill over the rest.

The photo with the half brain/half heart full encapsulates the concept of this.
