Throwback when I got to tattoo my mom a couple years ago! Tattooed both of her dogs, Beef (RIP) and Igloo, on her arms. I’m super happy and proud to get to tattoo her, and they’ve both healed so nicely. It means a lot to be able to give her something so personal. I always love tattooing pets—there’s just something so special about the relationship between pets and their owners.

Have a pet you love and/or want to honor? Let’s make something meaningful together—DM me about it with your pet photo you’d like me to tattoo on you and where you would get it.

I’ve posted a making video of my baby but I never get to post the photos before 👶 I just wanted to say I’m willing to give him up for a price 🙈 he’s from @apoundofflesh , handsome, doesn’t talk back and fully tatted. Serious inquiry only, dm if you’re interested. I was going to keep him myself but I could always make another bb 😉

Ladies and gentleman, you deserve better than living with a tattoo you don’t want. I cover your old tattoo up, you cover the cost 😂 ok but for real, let’s talk!

Memorial photo for my client’s father. Client sent a photo of his father, we worked with AI to get variations of face/expressions since the photo doesn’t have angry/serious expression, we ended up using the top half of the face to merge into the original photo and I did the usual collage for the body and background. 2 days back to back, 7.5hrs.

LAAAABUBUUUU FLASH!! They’re all around *my palm size ✋, I’d love to tattoo them to have fun and practice color, each of them for $650 flat. Most likely done in a day, and you’d be expected to come back for a free touch up, to ensure good heal and so I could check the heal and learn from it 😊 if you’re not in the market for it, please share it to your friends that might be interested.

Bonus point if you can spot the designers jewelries 💅

Wrapping up 2024, not all but most. Kind of wish I get to tattoo more this year but I think a lot of people could understand and are on the same boat. I’m just grateful to my clients that came to get tattooed, new and old. I don’t say it enough but your support means a lot to me and because of that, it helps me become a better artist each year 🙏 I painted and did more flash this year than before so I take that as a win. I’m hoping 2025 will be even better for everyone and I could keep working and help you with your tattoo needs. Let’s create! 😊💉🎨🖌️ #tattooartist #torontotattooartist
