Projects – Butterfat

Unless otherwise stated, each project is tattooed only one time. It is considered extremely bad form to copy an existing custom tattoo. Please respect my work, and my client’s dedication and expense.

Occasionally I will offer an alternate project directly to a client who writes in for something that has already been spoken for. This is a great reason to send in a clear photo with your submission, you might just have that scapula I have been waiting for, all these years.

Magenta roses

The palette in this floral is similar to the one I auctioned last year for Let Us Breathe – warm browns/ neutral lavenders in the leaves, hot pinks and magenta roses, with a little cyan. I think these colors look so good together on every skin tone, with very little adjusting.

This design needs plenty of open space. Other possible placements could include a flatter chest, the side of a large thigh, or haunch to lower hip.

Likely 3-4 sessions, $750/ session

If interested, please send this info: your availability, if you are located in Chicago, or would you be traveling to appointments, as well as a photo of the area to be tattooed. These will all help greatly in my decision.

PROJECT TAKEN

Dark Roses

These deep red velvet roses! A big flat space is needed for this vase and flowers: thigh, back, or broad belly up to chest area. Lots of odd colors in this piece, I’m very excited about this one.

Probably 5-7 sessions, $750/session

PROJECT TAKEN

Lace Back

Lace back

Linework drawn from antique lace I found in an old book. This pattern is so easy to grow, and could continue around arms, down hips, wherever feels right. Option to shade it lightly, for more contrast and dimension – but I’d like to stay close to a lace appearance, so no color.

3ish sessions for the amount you see here, $750/session

PROJECT TAKEN

Lavender Floral

This is a result of my color tests for different tones of brown skin- the actual lavender will be mixed to suit and flatter the wearer, but will have a gentle low contrast look when healed. Priority for clients with medium and dark skin.

2 sessions, $600 each

PROJECT TAKEN

Blackheart Rose

Blackheart rose

Found scrap of vintage graphic design inspired this piece- it is dense and intricate, so it needs to be at least 7” tall. Other placements considered, as long as there isn’t any wrapping. Black ink or black with color washes in the flowers, your choice.

Likely 2 sessions, $600 each
