Redesigned my sketchbooks page(s) on my website, so hopefully it is a little easier to navigate now and everything loads smoother. Also added sketchbook 109! www.tooiebird.com/sketchbooks

I love tattooing this couple. Little robot for the mom representing her son. And Chewbacca for the dad. Done on different days tho

Went Christmas shopping and honestly just bought a bunch of stuff for myself. I am not good at this lol

The last hour or so of work was "put sad songs on spotify and see who cries first" and while I didn't cry (but 2 other coworkers did lol), I did get scolded for putting on a really, really, really sad song. Anyways, everyone at the shop (except for me??) is depressed right now so that's cool

I set up a telegram channel if you want to follow for art, commission, and tattoo updates. Not sure how often I'll post, maybe once or twice a week. t.me/+03cbUuEwvRI...

Thinking about restarting my patreon or sticker store or opening for commissions again in January??

What do you mean I can just print off doodles on sticker paper and color them myself???

Is there anyone who can help me tinker and make something with a moving part? I want to make a display holder for my inks that rotates the bottles to keep the pigment from settling on the bottom. I can trade art or tattoo work

Sketchbook 108 has finally been added to my website!!! www.tooiebird.com/sketchbooks#...

I also hate to say that the absolute decline of me doing digital art since I started tattooing is very noticeable, especially when you look on my website. 2021 was when I probably did the most and it’s been downhill ever since lol. Maybe I’ll work on changing that next year

I love going through my iPad and finding art I don’t remember drawing. Anyways I’m working on the heavy paint gallery page on my website.

Work in progess coverup by @kingyodeler.bsky.social 💜❤️💙

Some recent tattoos. Did the hedgie today and started the large piece last week :3

I made a new friend for my tattoo station the other day.

I still feel like I have no idea what I’m doing when it comes to painting flash but I’m having fun. Having a color reference helps a lot too

Some recent stuff from the tattoo shop. Kevin was denied access to the pumpkin patch (we all made pumpkins)

Placed an order for my hobonichi journals to use for next year. I hope I get them in the mail lol Using the hobonichi weeks is the only thing that I’ve been able to stick with for the past 3 years ;3;

Was fortunate enough to get a tattoo from an original Sailor Jerry acetate stencil by a visiting artist Erik. What a cool experience.

I can’t believe I was part of a group where shit went down at a Waffle House and the cook pulled a gun on one of our guys. lol achievement unlocked I guess

Got a new coil machine from Lee Machines and learned how to put it together yesterday :) I really like learning about coils and their history, this is fun!

Today’s convention tattoos! Just One more day to do some fun tattoos!

Two tattoos I did at the convention yesterday!

Let me permanently draw on you!

Maybe not the most flattering doodle from last year, but sometimes I like looking at old art of characters I still regularly draw. And then crying that my neopet is 19 years old

Got to do this super fun piece for my client that has the same birthday! Also thank you all for the birthday wishes!!! 🧡🩷💙

Got to draw up this cute little cow for a walk-in tattoo today!

Finished this cross stitch after working on it for months. Now it hangs up in my tattoo room!

I wanna tattoo this rooster! Painting old flash is fun

Gir tattoo today!!!

I feel bad asking my coworkers to sign up for telegram because they keep complaining about getting lots of spam texts/bots and I’m like ????? I’ve never gotten spammy messages, but I’ve also been using it for forever lol

This is a reminder to get tattoos for yourself and not for other people/ to make other people happy. I don’t care about their opinion, I care about yours because it’s going on your body!

Working on art fight. Still need to upload my Dino refs but yeah. I’m gonna try again this year!

I really want to try to do artfight again this year. Hopefully I will have the time an energy to do more than I did last year.. which was 3. lol

It’s that time where I get the itch to revamp my website. I think I’m going to sort my art by year and group the sketchbooks differently. And put a warning that I use my website as an archive and not a portfolio site so there like thousands of images lol

I pierced like 17 people and im exhausted and we are very low on some jewelry. But I had a good time and I learned a lot and I got to stab people for fun :3 Will probably be doing appointment only piercings for a while, at least until we order more stuff

If you’re in the northern Cincinnati/ south Dayton area, let me stab you :3

I've been obsessed with these geese so I drew them!

Touched up a Care Bear tattoo and added to a different Care Bear sleeve in progress. Looking at old Care Bear art is good for my soul and makes me so happy :3

My turn to get tattooed today and let me tell you it hurted. But it is so good and so cute

I’m actually kinda jealous that this is on my client and not me. Listened to a lot of the soundtrack while I did it too lol

more LVFC fun!

Had a lot of fun at LVFC! Definitely going to try to come back next year :3

Dinosaur tattoooooooos!!! 🧡🦖🩷🌼

Had a good start to this large cover up today. I can’t wait to add color to it!

A fun walk in today (based on official art) 🩷❤️

Porch goose tattoo! And it got posted to the porch goose fb page (which I am also a part of lol) She’s going to paint outfits on it once it’s healed :v

I complained enough that I finally got my boss to sit down and show me how to use my coil machine (since I did not how learn in my apprenticeship) Did my first official coil tattoo today (and some small lines on two others) :3 so much fun and a little stressful
