Original designs from 2022-2025

This is a curated selection of available tattoo concepts -- visual works designed specifically for the body. Each piece can be placed similarly to the mock-up (with minor adjustments) or used as a reference for a commissioned piece. Concepts ar focused on form, feeling, and flow not gender - THEY ARE GENDER NEUTRAL.

 These are not flash tattoos. Each design is a singular composition, created for a one-time connection and application. 

Once a piece resonates with you, you can either:
 - Take a screenshot and email it with a short note about your thoughts 
 - send it as a direct message on instagram

From there, we will arrange a free consultation -- in person or via video call -- to explore the possibilities and make sure the piece integrates meaningfully with you and your body.

Series shown:
​GRADIENT FIELD/FLOW/CORRELATIVE STRUCTURES/RHYTHM/LINE-SPACING/FIELDS OF GREY/GRID SYSTEMS/SPHERE OF INFLUENCE/PATTERN RECOGNITION

CORRELATIVE STRUCTURES
