Grey Floral Sleeve

Grey Floral Sleeve

This full sleeve extends from the shoulder forward a bit onto the chest and extends down to finish on the hand. The flowers came originally from a colorful vintage textile, but the shapes work so much better in color. Peonies, jasmine, and primrose, maybe? The background can be in a toned grey, or nearly neutral brown or lavender. We can choose the color together to best suit your specific skin tone. If you prefer not to have color, we could fill the background with a dot texture instead. Likely 10-12 sessions $850/session

If interested, please send this info: your availability, if you are located in Chicago, or if 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.

Persimmon Tree

Persimmon Tree

Bright fruit and fierce bird of prey design, falling just shy of a 3/4 sleeve. This tattoo has a black background with dot texture gradients that open up to skin tone in some areas, giving the impression of distant moody skies. Maybe 7 or 8 sessions at $850/session

Rainy Forest Orchids

Rainy Forest Orchids

A backpiece with a wild open edge moving to enclose the shoulder and continuing down into a 1/2 sleeve. We can decide together how far it extends onto the chest; perhaps it only frames the neckline, or maybe it has a strong presence and even more florals? Lots of transparent green greys, and foliage fading into the rainy background highlight brilliant orchids (variety negotiable). Estimated 10 sessions $850/session

Deep Red Clematis Arrangement

Deep Red Clematis Arrangement

Vintage image of pretty maroon clematis flowers, pretty on any largish body surface. A thigh would be ideal, but it could be pretty across an upper back, across mastectomy scars, or on the ribs. 5-7 sessions, depending on size and placement. $850/session

Live Lace Flash Appointment

Live Lace Flash Appointment

I recently bought a large Chantilly lace shawl from the 1800s, it is delicate in design and fragile to handle, but it drapes so so beautifully over open skin… I am offering only 4 private appointments to play with it with me, moving the patterns over your body to find the flow and arrangement that feels like a made-for-you garment. We will spend an hour with a mirror and camera in my private studio (all photos on your camera only, all images are yours to keep), and if we discover a lace placement either large or small, that you would love to wear forever we can make a separate appointment to tattoo that on you.
