The hardest thing about being a tattoo artist is having to say no to projects that don't align with my style. I desire to focus my time and energy into bright and bold pieces that showcase my work. Burnout is very real - preserving energy for art that inspires me, truly keeps me going!

Frog Cover Up! This was a really fun project, because initially my client was only expecting a touch up of what she had. She didn't expect to see what she 'originally wanted' and asked for, with my mock up design for her frog. 💖 . #tattooprocess #tattoocoverup #frogtattoo #lovemywork #alaskatattoo

“I have been seeing Leslie for years. Whenever I want a tattoo, I sketch (very horribly), and she brings it all to life. Not just on paper, but on the skin. I only trust her for big or small projects. Best artist hands down!” — Laura

Metamorphosis (n.): a change of the form or nature of a thing or person into a completely different one, by natural or supernatural means. Loved doing this piece for you, Holly! What an honor to do your first color piece. 🤩 . #metamorphosis #insecttattoo #anchoragetattoo #anchoragetattooartist

Pretty awesome when I'm given 'free reign' with a tattoo idea. 🤩 This was super fun for me to design and tattoo. If you have an idea of what you want but not exactly, that's okay! Bring it to me and let's chat about it. This is what consultations are for. 😁 #alaskatattoo #femaletattooartist #mulan

🔭 Galaxy rose cover up! . Is there a tattoo you don't like anymore, one you would like to cover up? Scheduling a consult is a great way to start the discussion about potential cover ups or reworking of a tattoo. This one was a pre-design piece of mine. Two of my favorites Space / Roses!
