I got this at Metamorphosis in Winnipeg, MB from THE most amazing artist I’ve ever met, Ivy Gowen. She adds so much personality and fun to the tattoo and the process, and came up with something even better than I’d imagined. These are quotes about science, love, imagination, writing, strength and education, and I’m THRILLED to have some of the words that mean most to me inked on me forever in such an awesome style.
Stagnant

Time for another hair cut
Or hair color
Or concert
Or tattoo
Something adventurous, spontaneous.

Suggestions?

A back-piece inspired by Mucha and James Jean. Tattoo by Deran Hall at Greensboro, NC. Took about 22 hours :) finally finished!! (for-the-love-of-orange)

Yep. This piece confirmed my yearning for a back piece.

This is my 6th tattoo and my biggest piece so far. I’ve wanted a floral design for awhile now but mainly saw cherry blossoms & trees on the web when looking for inspiration & I didn’t want either of those. Finally I came across a design that I instantly fell in love with.
My tattoo artist, Mav Mess at Deluxe Parlor Tattoo, in Portland Oregon, did an amazing job at taking the design I gave him & making it unique for me. The shading is gorgeous & the detail is absolutely to die for.
This piece was worth every minute of pain & it’s more beautiful than I could have imagined.
