🔮Crystal Magick💎

This client came in with the dream ask! I need a coverup, a double coverup, do whatever you want! 😃 Well, I want to add more crystals to my portfolio. Crystals are one of my favorite subjects, and one of the easiest to imbue with intention! 🙌 I add florals (anemone) as an accent to the vibe, but the stone takes center stage as the subject!

I also don't just want to slap what I want on a client. So I chose a crystal that universally helps and protects everyone, but individually empowers this wearer to ascend to their best self! Amethyst 🤗 Making the piece still entirely custom of course! Spiritual healing and warding, transformation, and evolution. 🎨 Thank you so much for the trust in this! -and sitting so strongly through the spicy wrist.
✨✨✨

If you're new to the tattoo process and struggle to give that trust, just remember you get the artist's best work when you do. You literally allow us to do our job to the best of our abilities when we fly with em! 😊 And when you choose this artist 🤗 to create your art, I'm not one that'll just slap a skull and floral on you because it "looks sick" it would, for sure, but it would be empty in meaning aside from the general memento mori correspondence. I want to create art FOR you! By getting to know you, your likes and dislikes, and curating something that only exists in the ether and intention. Something never seen before as it is. You just have to let me. Remember, the Internet isn't a catalog for you to "find your tattoo" your tattoo doesn't exist yet. You find your artist and let them art for you. And that's how you get the best! 🙌

We're booking September - October, Fris-Suns, and would be honored to create for you! We specialize in coverups and crystals too! Thank you for your consideration when reviewing our portfolio.

🤡FEED THE PIJOKO☠️

An originally imagined cryptid, this wandering spirit Colossus is the golemic manifestation of an unsupported clown and their pet pigeon feathers. Both neglected beings, performing for the people to be cast aside when no longer perceived as popular. The clown's artistic essence searches for that fuel to their fire, the appreciation of their expression, the entertainment in their purpose. The forgotten pigeons give flight to the phantom's endless lumbering. Nature remains as the beautifully twisted remnants of an internal muse.
An unfortunate, unwilling patron attempts to outrun the Pijoko, with only the faint glow of the carnival to light the looming trees that seem to carve a path to their finale.

🎨🎨🎨

I think we forget nowadays to really read into the meaning of the art we see. Tattoos and Studio pieces are generally posted without statement or critique, often without even being titled. But we don't create from nothing, there's a story behind even work, be it grand in depth or shallow in surface. I hope you'll take a minute to consider what each artist was trying to say with their expression, whether it's on someone's skin or not. Thank you for looking and seeing! 🤗🎈🎈🎈 ~OSB

🦞A Deep Blue Gratitude🫐

Finally came full circle artistically in this specific subject matter! 😃 Oddly enough, not in the Downeast area ~but on a nomadic client nonetheless! Those that have followed my journey thus far know I started tattooing in Ellsworth, and a large portion of my clientele were Lobster Fishermen and their families. I'm forever grateful for their support, and the stories I got to experience through them! Since that start, I've always wanted to create a blue lobster to honor them! To symbolize staying unique in the dark Maine waters. 💎

I can't thank this client enough for commissioning my first one for his wife and their story! Though not fishermen, they contribute to the lobster population, the adventurous Maine spirit and resilience, and now, Maine's survival through artistry! 🤗 Such an awesome dude to hang with and special creature to craft for him! To round it out, I had to breathe some of that Trad influence of my teachers like Damien into the style; tattoo culture started with the OGs after all.

If you want your own lobster tattoo created, I'd be honored! I've always wanted to do a few other styles with them and this placement is peak 🙌 but I'll make em comfy anywhere! We're booking September - October (mostly Spooky stuff) Fri-Sun, feel free to reach out! Thanks for lookin 😃

🕸️NIGHTMARE SKELEPEDE💀
×insert centipede emoji here×

Thank you so much Lily for grabbing our opening today! And requesting such a fun idea 👻 you've definitely inspired some Spooky Art for this year! Thanks for sitting through the elbow area spice to earn it!

We present you with this centipede inspired, collected skull ~fueled nightmare pet we created today! 🙌😎 I imagine it chitters through life with Lily now to eat up any unserving ghosts that try to cross her path, so they don't negatively affect her. 🤗

If you'd like your own custom nightmare friend, made with better intentions than their horror vibed lil faces would lead you to believe 😈 feel free to DM us and we'll get you booked! Starting to look into October for more of the ✨dark arts✨
