I had the absolute pleasure of getting to cover-up this tattoo that was outgrown. My client felt it no longer served her or represented her. This will probably need another pass yet, as most cover-ups I do typically do to ensure enough pigment is camouflaging the design underneath. This is half healed and half fresh and was our third session working on these sweet kitties, Kawaii (left) and Bella (right) to immortalize them. Don`t worry, they`re still kicking. 🐱

Thank you so much for the trust to be able to do this for you. It means the world. 💕

I`m booking weekends for June and weekdays for May. Interested in getting a tattoo from me? Fill out the booking form on our website!

Thanks for looking!

Some of what I`ve been up to and working on here at @etherealfawntattoos 💖 I`ve been doing a lot of bigger projects lately and hate posting unfinished tattoos, but someone mentioned to me today that showing realistic progress with larger pieces isn`t a bad idea. Tattoos take time and no one walks out with a massive finished piece in one day.

I`m so grateful to be able to do this on the daily, surrounded by amazing clients and artists. The community around us is amazing, and I am so blessed to have such wonderful humans around me. Thanks for being a part of my journey! I couldn`t do it without all of your support. A lot of artists don`t reach 10 years in the industry and I am so blessed to be coming up on it this summer. Art or d!3 😘

Anyways, thanks for looking! I`m currently booking weekends for June and weekdays for May.

Here`s a dump of some of the smaller tattoos I`ve done recently since I`m not great at consistently posting. 🤣 If you swipe to the end you get a jumpscare from my bald head with Linguine!

In dark days with the world burning, I am so grateful to spend my time working around amazing artists and clients. You truly all mean the world to me. Thank you for always supporting me. 💖 I wouldn`t be here without you.

I`m currently booking my weekends into May and have a few weekdays left for March! I`ll also be tattooing at the @lancaster_tattoo_art_festival 3/13-3/15 and am still scheduling appointments for then. Hit me up!

Thank you for looking!

Just wanted to update that I shaved my head recently and I`m digging it. Come pop by the shop and rub my head for luck. 🤣 …

Submitting your design the First Way means that I will choose which design I want to do quarterly. These will be roughly palm-sized or smaller, and color and/or shading is optional. This is to be able to grow my portfolio with rad projects, grow my reach, and share the love with my local community. 💖

🔥ART HAS ALWAYS BEEN POLITICAL. HUMAN RIGHTS ARE NOT UP FOR DEBATE.🔥 Doing this the Second Way supports our local communities and/or takes funding away from organizations directly supporting 🧊. We all need each other now more than ever. These must be smaller than 3×3, and will only be black linework unless you are willing to pay additional for color or shading. I can only do this at a paid scheduled appointment where another tattoo is being done. Think of it as a buy-one-get-one!
✨️
You are under no obligation to do any of these. Don`t like it? Look away like you do the horrors happening to your neighbors in this country. Empathy costs nothing.
✨️
I have a limited skill set, a limited reach, and limited resources. If this is how I can make a small difference and contribute to my community in this capitalistic hellscape created by a handful of billionares, I`m here for it. Are you?
✨️
Boots on the ground, fam – no one is coming to save us. My love to you – and a reminder that @etherealfawntattoos is always a safe place for everyone and anyone EXCEPT fascists and bigots. 🥰
✨️
Interested in scheduling with me? I have a few days left available in late February, but am otherwise booking March and April! Thanks for looking!

✨️flash drop for Friday the 13th and Valentine`s Day here at @etherealfawntattoos✨️

I may draw up some more for this! Let me know in the comments below if you want to see anything specific.

Linework starts at $80, color and shading will up the price and is optional. Some of these will need to be bigger than others to fit the level of detail. Pricing will depend entirely upon the design, placement of the tattoo, final size, etc.

See something you like but aren`t able to make it on Friday the 13th or Valentine`s Day? Hit me up – I`m happy to set up an appointment for one of these for the same discounted price! (My minimum is usually $150 and these start at $80 🥰)

Thanks for looking! …

I can`t put into words how grateful I am for the community I`ve cultivated around me and around @etherealfawntattoos

This was such a magical experience today. Indie is undergoing chemotherapy and made the hard choice to recently shave her head. She missed getting tattooed, so she asked if I would doodle on her newly shaved head with sharpies.

When I say that I love you guys, I truly mean it. This was such an emotional experience. This community around me is incredible and such a light in such dark times. I would never be able to have met or experienced this amazing community without tattooing. Thank you for being a part of my village.

I`m not crying again typing this, nope.

Anyways, my books are always opened for tattoos. I don`t charge for sharpie things like this, and the studio will always be a safe space. If you`re not in a good headspace, we always have tea and snacks. Come chat. 💖

I love you, Indie!
