a self taught, neuro queer, independent artist, handpoke tattooer, music maker, creative twitch streamer n' lil youtube'r!♡ I've spent lots of my life with a backpack full of art material & guitar by my side, ramble'n round, travelling & making shelter in my art journal, notebook & sketchbooks.

✦ my art, tattoos & wild hearty craftings are centred around m’warm adoration for the natural world, as well as embracing the little tings in life, ethereal realms, creatures & anything fae- like, folky, witchy, story book-esk, back-woods, old-timey!

some tings I love are: camping, swimming, going on walks, collecting cute sh*t, trinkets, oddities, making zines, printmaking, hanging out with loved ones, breakfast!!! the power of friendship, cartoons, playing video games (zelda, my beloved) horror movies, being in the woods / prairies / country, writing poetry, delving into worlds of fantasy, fairy's, storybooks, divination! anything & everything magical! ♡

~drawing, writing & playing music in the mornin with a warm cup o' coffee is one of my fav tings! ♡creativity, art & tattooing are my hero's

⟡ ABOUT FLASH ⟡

➥ I usually originally craft my designs on 11” x 14” watercolour paper with paint and ink (flash sheet)➥ I also really love to illustrate pages in my art journal & use these crafted pages to create designs that I share ever so often.

⟡ ABOUT HAND-POKE ⟡

.
☁️🌷☁️
what is hand poke?➥ hand-poke is a method of tattooing using no machine. lines are created by methodically poking ink into the skin by hand with professional ink and needles ᐧ༚̮ᐧ
☁️do hand-poke tattoos hurt?➥ it depends on the spot and person’s pain tolerance — it’s a tattoo, so it’s a bit of a tender experience, overall. more of a “pinchy” sensation than anything. a lot of folks I’ve tattooed have told me that it hurts a lot less than they thought & majority say the pain is way less compared to a machine tattoo.
☁️do you use colour?➥ my style is mostly black ink with the occasional colour accents. I am open to incorporating more colour into your design by request :o)
