🛠️ Equipment Additions (Because My Setup Was Already Kickass)
I’m already rolling with a solid kit—Bishop Packer, Bishop shader, and my trusty Ghost armrest + trays with disposable inserts. But July felt like a good time to treat myself and add a few things to make my workflow even smoother.
Ozer stencil printer – Super crisp stencils, perfect for fine lines, portraits, and realism
Cobra from Ink Machines – Magnetic drive for less trauma to the skin and better color saturation
Heart-shaped Ghost tray – Swaps easily with my standard Ghost tray depending on how much space I need. Same disposable insert system—just cuter
Everything works together for cleaner setups, smoother tattoos, and better-healed results—aka, good news for your skin.
🌵🍒🍊 New Designs – Email List Exclusive
I’ve been working on some new designs and this sheet is one of my favorites yet—bright-colored foods, fruits, and succulents in bold, juicy color. Weird, fun, and super tattooable.
Here’s the catch: Email subscribers get to see (and book) it first. It won’t hit Instagram for a few days, so if you want first dibs, join the list here.
Coming Up in August

Thanks for reading and for supporting my work—it means everything. Whether you’ve been in my chair before or you’re planning your first tattoo, I’m always down to chat ideas and get something on the calendar.
Stay hydrated,
