Below are some of my tattoo adoptables. Unlike my repeatable, pre-made tattoo designs known as "Flash". My adoptables are unique one-time purchase/limited-run tattoo designs. Once they are gone, they are gone! Please be sure to read all of the information on this page, including the info next to each design before applying for the tattoo.

  • All sizes listed are approximate.
  • Each Tattoo is individually priced, + 5% GST.
  • Colours shown on the designs may be swapped out.
  • Large/complex designs will need more sessions to complete.
  • All designs require a down deposit paid upfront at the time of booking.
  • The full price can be broken down per session to work with your budget.
  • The non-refundable down deposit will not come off (utilized) until the last appointment.
  • Those who have applied, discussed the tattoo design with me, and have paid the deposit fee will have first dibs to the tattoo design.
  • Usage Rights - Designs purchased grant the client use of that tattoo on their body. It does not grant the client a commercial/Personal use licence to use the design. As the artist, I retain full rights to the design. This includes, but is not limited to - showing the design to others, posting online, creating content for advertising purposes, creating art prints for sale, and/or making large alterations to the design for future use.  
     

HOW THE PROCESS WORKS
Each tattoo design will vary, with details being discussed via email. The following is simply a guideline of what to expect.

For large/complex designs, a time estimate may not be accurate. I can, however, break the tattoo up into sections, and give rough estimates of how long each section will take to complete. Each session will be a minimum 2.5 - hour booking.
Benefits of breaking a tattoo up into multiple sittings
·       Less trauma to the skin
·       Shorter appointments
·       It helps break the cost of the tattoo up over time. 
·       I can see how you have healed, and touch up any areas that may need darkening    

I am happy to work with you, and your budget per session, and offer extended time for days that you may decide you would like to keep going. 
Most appointments average 3.5 – 4 hours long. (I am happy to work with your pain tolerance, and offer breaks as needed.) 

Each appointment will need 6-8 weeks between sessions to best allow for healing. (Unless we are working on far enough apart areas. We can discuss that during your appointments.)

Thank you for supporting me, and giving my creations a forever home!

Udon Surprise! 

Story Food dragon’s are little spirits that love nothing more than curling up in the warmest of bowls. They take the shape that best lets them blend into the dish. Once in the bowl, their very existence adds extra spice and flavour to any recipe. Before anyone is the wiser, the wily little dragon will teleport away, forever seeking out an even warmer bowl to nap in. If you have a hot meal that tastes better than usual, chances are you were visited by one of these spirits..”

Abundance
Story  This “Abundance” design serves as a powerful reminder of how interconnected and interdependent life truly is, and that we can create the reality we wish. Fungi are remarkable in their resilience and adaptability. They embody the principles of seizing opportunities, networking, and timing, by doing this they constantly create a world for themselves, and others filled with abundance. Like fungi, we can thrive by staying patient, making connections, and being ready to act when the conditions are right.

January's Presence
Story  One of the names for January’s full moon is the “wolf moon.” Astrologically it is a powerful force and urges us to confront our past, embrace change, and make pivotal decisions. Running with the theme of January’s collective energy, I included Carnations as they are one of the birth flowers for this month. This beautiful flower is often called the “flower of the gods.” and symbolizes devotion, loyalty, and love.

Star Walker
Story  Starwalker serves as a reminder that we are all connected to the stars, which symbolize our ancestors, our current generations, and those who have yet to come. There is much wisdom to be gained from walking many paths and seeking counsel and connection from others. Draw strength from the moon and stars, and re-connect with “your pack”. This may take the form of community, blood relations, friends and chosen family.

Starwalker whispers “Instead of trying to survive on your own, share life’s blessings, lessons, and burdens. We are stronger together.”
