How long have you been slingin’ ink?

What’s a tattoo that you’re super proud of/a favorite?

I've been working on a back piece for a friend for several years. It’s been such a journey and has taught me so much about trusting the process. Special circumstances have pushed both of us to learn our own limitations and grow together. I'm so thankful for the experience.

Axolotl Facts: Axolotls, a type of salamander, can regrow most any part, and have both lungs and gills. They can convert to land salamanders if their habitat is unsuitable. They have been revered as gods in Mexico, having been named after the Aztec deity Xolotl, the god of fire, lightening, dogs, and death.

You sure axolotl questions!!
