Tattoo Styles

“Glitter Realness”

My unique “Glitter Realness” tattoos are an exploration and expansion of 3D hyper-realism art. This style is my creative take on realism, infused with an abstract, glittery twist. Each tattoo is a meditative process, built one colorful dot at a time.

From hyper-realistic glass tattoos to chrome designs, the possibilities within this style are endless. Let’s collaborate to bring your vision to life with a touch of sparkle and dimension!

Illustrative

My illustrations are designed to be playful and childlike, capturing the world through the rose-colored lenses of curiosity and wonder.

I love crafting whimsical scenes of nature, wildlife, and animals that reflect the beauty, joy, and magic of our natural world.

Abstract

Abstraction allows us to express feelings and ideas that words or concrete images cannot fully capture. To me, it’s a way to communicate the intangible, infinite, and deeply personal aspects of our inner world.

Through the language of abstract art—shapes, colors, and textures—we can connect with what lies beyond the visible and say what cannot be said otherwise.

We can also mix & match styles to create a truly unique tattoo!

😭 Turning tattoo regret into JOY 🥰✨ This client came to me after a tough tattoo experience that left them with more than just ink—it left a lasting memory they wanted to change. I love helping clients transform tattoos that don’t feel right into something they can truly love and feel joy about every time they see it 🩵 As an artist, my job goes beyond creating a design you love—it’s about making sure you feel heard, comfortable, and confident every step of the way. I take pride in my craft, but I never forget that I’m creating art AND memories you’ll carry for a lifetime. That’s a responsibility I don’t take lightly. I practice ACTIVE CONSENT throughout the entire process. This means I’ll constantly check in with you—how you’re feeling, if you’re happy with the design, if the pain is manageable, or if you need a break. Your body, your choice, period. My goal is to create an experience that leaves you feeling empowered inside & out and excited about the transformation we create together 👯‍♀️🌟 Curious about tattoo renewals? Let’s chat! 💬 I offer free in-person or phone consultations to discuss your ideas. Send me a message or visit my website (link in bio) for more info. We can always create change together. I strive to provide a judgment-free space—after all, we all make decisions we wish we could redo sometimes. Who am I to judge? Let’s work on something you’ll love together 💕✨ Also, I still can’t believe clients sometimes travel just to work with me 🙈🤯 Never thought that would happen, really thank you so much 💕 I’m truly grateful for your trust, for getting to create art for you and with you, and for having time together. While I say “clients”on socials, it feels much more like a little community to me 🥰 Thank you all from the bottom of my heart 💗💗💗💗 #artrestoration #yourbodyyourchoice #consentmatters #tattooregret #tattootransformation #tattootherapy #selfhealingjourney #coveruptattoos #blastover
