I stopped working on this last night because to me his antlers look like they’re covered in shaving cream, but they’re supposed to be clouds. Do you see it too?

Soft fuzzy guy, giving Ferdinand the Bull vibes. I didn’t tattoo the Baymax friend, but they really do make a good couple 💞 #tattoo #pdxtattoo #finelinetattoo

Opinions please! I’m making this into a sticker, but I can’t decide on a color for the font. Blue or pink? Once printed, a portion of the sales will be donated to UCLA

Please share! I really want this platform to thrive, and be absolutely swamped with art, and creatives. If we want this, we have to work for it! Paint, painters, and more paint!🎨 I’m making several of these type specific lists, and I already have one giant art bomb list. 💣 go.bsky.app/R4wccho

My first bug pinning class at @paxtongatepdx.bsky.social was sooo fun! @ofmothandflame.bsky.social did an amazing job, not only teaching us the ways of bug preservation, but showed us amazing books to check out and shared so many interesting bug conservation facts. 10/10 would recommend signing up 🦋

Seeing healed tattoos is so satisfying! Not only do they help us tattooers understand which techniques work and which ones don’t, but we can also see how lines settle and soften based on our needle size and depth. 😍😍

Hi, I’m Alia and I’m generally not great about updating social medias, but this platform is so cute already, I wanna give it some decent effort. So, and introduction: I mostly tattoo and run around doing errands for my tattoo shop Birdhouse Tattoo in Portland Or. here’s some of my favorite tattoos:

Healed tattoo of a barn owl head with the bones of her victims floating around her like a halo

Tattoo of a stack of 3 very plump rabbits, all with a heart pattern of different kinds in their fur

Tattoo of a cute baby goat with a spiked punk collar.

Tattoo of two fox heads split open, with butterflies flying throughout. Not gory
