Currently working on a black Japanese pin up woman for a client and I al so excited to execute it!! Time for me to start chiming in on this Afro-Americana conversation ✊🏾

That break was much needed and I’m glad I took it!

I had 2 consultations yesterday, an appointment tomorrow, another consultation on Thursday and next week!

I’m doing a piece on my cousins neck tomorrow! I’m actually very excited!

One of my favourite sayings. #BookSky Just in case you need to hear that today ❤️

Me right now ..

I’m having an obsession with glowy dots for eyes. This started as a study but we see what it turned into 😅.

3 of 5 promo spots filled !! Yay! 😎

I’m not a fan of today’s idea of competition. Competition, real competition is based on skill levels only. Once you start feeling like you gotta undermine folks, lying and scheming .. you didn’t really win. A winner gets there off of SKILL. Not being a horrible human.

Posting my promo flier at in 25 minutes on and facebook!! I think I’ll have an okay turn out! I’ve been drawing my ass off!

I wish things were the same.

I meticulously put this schedule together and I am so excited about it! If imma have an iPhonei need to make the most out of its productive pros. Seeing my day like this makes me feel less like I’m drowning and more like I’m flying!! 🙂‍↔️

I wish were still in the early 2000’s. 26 years go by and it’s like we aren’t even on the same planet. Or was I just young to realize exactly where we were? Either way. Take me back to a simpler time.

First thing I do after every move is join the library.

I typed “tattoos” into the search and a bunch of dicks popped up .. … I just wanna look at tattoos on here.

Watching Sucker Punch. Great film in my opinion.

They want us to be stressed out with dysregulated nervous system and sluggish immune system. Your immune system and nervous system are your first line of defense!

My Beloved Rogue 💚 #rogue #fanart

Some of my work that sold this weekend 🥰 Art & Architecture was my fourth show of the year & my last one for the season. Next up: Artists & Afros 2026 (first weekend of October)

I'm not a fan of people saying "people won't know how to treat you unless you tell them" ... What am I telling you?? Not to lie? Cheat? Or waste my time? Not to talk bad about me or spread my business?? Idk, correct me if I'm wrong but that shit is a given... Is it not?? I shouldn't have to tell

Reclaiming my time and energy from folks. Even if I don't have "solid" evidence that you aren't for me. You shouldn't have to communicate your boundaries with people, explaining your boundaries gives people a map on how to manipulate you. Let people be who they are and then move accordingly.

Underrated moment

My apartment search is going well 🥰

I consider myself an artist before I am a tattoo artist .. I don't think that is serving me in my apprenticeship. But with my new plan of attack, I know I'll be fine.

Introducing my kids to anime has been interesting! They started with this Korean anime called " Haunted House " , I've been trying to find it on dvd and I can't 😭😭

This soursop detox is getting me right!!

My Sailor Jerry studies for the day. #tattoos #tattooapprentice

Taking some time from work to get my affairs in order, clear my head and do some drawing has just been amazing. I am about to have sooo much to practice with. I'm thankful for my sensei 😭

Working on some Orisha flash and playing with some Sailor Jerry flash on my new light table 🤤❤️

Nothing will stop me from doing what I need to do 😭🗣️🗣️

The time has finally come. All of May tattoo supplies have arrived, it's been a long weekend y'all. From house maintenance to family drama. But I am looked over by those who have come before me, I am blessed, I am thankful 🙏🏾💕 My journey truly begins now.

Y'all, today is the day!! The day my materials start coming in 😭 I'm so happy and thankful! For the opportunity, for being able to finally get these materials. I'm just filled up right now.

And may I also say, that being hated on for .. not being a hater is unfathomable LMAOO. Like, how you mad at me cuz I'm putting work in to be a kind, genuine and authentic person at all times. Are you okay?? Me cheering you on gets you hot?? Yikes.

Seeing beautiful women mope and whine about shitty men is sooo unattractive. Stand up sis. Pick your crown up expeditiously.

A tattoo I did a little bit ago and forgot to post ✌🏾 #tattoos #tattooapprentice

I am in my Daria Morgendorffer Era ✨

While sifting through a 15th-century alchemical manuscript, art historian Denva Gallant came across an image that stopped her in her tracks: an angel with dark skin. This rare illustration cast Blackness not as a mirror of sin, but the ground from which love itself might take shape.

It's me the queen! 😘 Steppin in my creepers 😝
