Had a blast doing this collaboration of Middle English with Jason. Script collaborations in red and black and now my favorite thing. Swipe to see close ups. Thanks for flying in. I like our Holiday Tattoo Tradition. .

Stage two of bands. Shots taken by the phenomenal client @dominickrobynwolfe. Thanks babe. I appreciate you and the ways you push me.

Stages of part one of the bands, as photographed and recorded by the lovely @dominickrobynwolfe who I happen to adore and who asks me to stab her repeatedly.

Our collaborative baking sleeve is coming along very well. We've been having a blast doing it. I love working with you dude. @lucasmiller12935 #flour #bakingtattoo #tattooflash #bakingfacts #tattoosketch #animaltattoo #bakingsleeve #hedgewitchtattoos #queermagiclove #flash #availableflash #ladytattooers #ladyboss #finngravesart #tattooartist #tattoooftheday

BOOKS OPEN FOR DECEMBER.

White Peony/Bai Shao Facts. .
.
1. Bai Shao gently targets the liver and spleen because the liver needs to be soothed from the stressors of our fast paced daily lives, or else the spleen will get overpowered, which is demonstrated through fatigue or lack of appetite. Once the spleen has been overpowered by stress and exhaustion for too long, some nourishing will have to take place to bring the body back to a healthier state.
2. Bai Shao is used in harmonizing and tonifying formulas because of it's versatility.
3. Its nature is bitter, sour and slightly cold.
4. It nourishes the blood, softens the liver and relieves pain.
5. You can find out more about it here!

Hide the boobies for IG. We did out second session on @veraccordion this last week (one more session to tighten it all up) and we had a blast. She is getting really good at laughing INBETWEEN me stabbing her. #lifeskills. I really like this piece. Acupuncture meets chinese medicine in Bai Shao. I love my healer geeks so hard.

Did this cute little Wheat Praying Mantis on @hunifae over at Dark Star Tattoo in Vancouver, WA. Swipe to see the tattoo, the stencil just made me so happy I had to post it first. .
.
Praying Mantis (Mantis religiosa) Facts:
1. "Many of us confuse the word praying in their name with "preying" because of the insect’s efficient predatory nature. As adults, their enlarged spiny front legs are well-adapted for catching and holding their prey."
2. They blend into their surroundings like chamomilians do! Adapting their color to match their environment.
3. They can turn their heads 180 degrees!
4. They eat hummingbirds, insects, spiders and even frogs!
5. A young mantis is called a nymph. .

Gecko! Gecko! Who wants a fat-tailed gecko?
African Fat Tailed Gecko Facts:
1. Fat-Tailed Geckos are relatively calmer and docile compared to other gecko species.
2. They are primarily nocturnal, entirely terrestrial, and will move out in search of food only after sundown.
3. They vocalize and communicate with other members by clicking their tongue on the roof of their mouth.
4. Their mating system is polygynandrous (both the genders have multiple mating partners during breeding season).
5. They would rather be alone, except while mating! .

Starting this little aztec snail on Kiki @kikiconant this week. Do you want a snail? I have some wicked cute snails up for grabs in my flash folder/stories from today. I would love to tattoo some snails on your body. .
.
AZTEC SNAIL Thots:
1. There is a snail god called: TECUCIZTECATL who became the god of the moon, but began as the god of worms and snails.
2. The snail is a representation of the life, death and birth cycle! Regeneration or die! Or die...then regenerate.
3. They carry their home on their backs, so they always have a hard place to retreat to, to keep their soft places soft. .

Knocked out these outlines on Vera this afternoon and am super looking forward to our next session where I get to flesh out the details. Thanks for the trust! .

This #punkrock #koala is much gentler than she looks. She likes soft, squishy people, taking naps, dying her hair, tattoos, #tankgirl and stickers. She is a conglomeration of what I think @haeli @hunifae and @dominickrobynwolfe would look like if they ate #eucalyptus leaves and lived in #Australia. (See this? It's a warning. You'll get turned into art if you're friends with me.) .
.
Ok, Koala Facts.
1. The name "koala" comes from an Aboriginal term for "no drink" because they get most of their needed moisture from leaves they eat.
2. They are fussy eaters, picking the most nutritious leaves to eat.
3. Koalas measure about 60cm to 85cm long, and weigh about 14kg.
4. When an infant koala – called a joey – is born, it immediately climbs up to its mother’s pouch. Blind and earless, a joey uses its strong sense of touch and smell, as well as natural instinct, to find its way to her pouch where the joey grows and develops in the pouch for about six months. Once strong enough, the youngster rides around on its mother’s back for a further six months, only using the pouch to feed.
5. Momma's pouch faces backwards because Koalas are more closely related to wombats than to kangaroos! .

So, in combo with doing @hunifae's tattoo and watching #kungfupanda with @dominickrobynwolfe this wise old Koala Man came out to play. AVAILABLE in black and grey with way more detailing and brushstrokes. .
.
Old Koala Facts:
1. Koalas are not bears! Marsupials.
2. Their fur feels like the coarse wool of sheep.
3. They are wild and do not make good pets.
4. They basically sleep and eat a ton. That's why their butts are round, to nestle into the crook of an euculyptus tree.
5. They die most commonly from motorists and dogs. Boooo.
6. They have two opposing thumbs! How cool is that? How'd I do @koalasgram?
