Sometimes the difficult thing is also the right thing. 💌

Galentine’s 2026 💌 I’ve been asked what I’m bringing you on Sunday and here it is! What do you think? Are you getting a tattoo?! Tag your bestie and bring her with you for a fine line tattoo and a day with the girls 🩷✨💐🥂

A love letter to both you and me 💌

Quarter 3 nearly took me out…But we’re here and we’re clinging to joy where we can find it.

It’s in the small morning rituals. It’s in the weekend resets. It’s going to pretty places with someone you love. It’s making a bouquet and giving it to the lady complimenting your arrangement at the next table. It’s watching someone light up when what you taught them finally “clicks.”

It’s in recognizing the overwhelm and taking a step back to protect your peace. It’s gathering around the table for a home cooked meal with your precious grandparents. It’s sitting at that same table playing cards and laughing until you cry. It’s cheering on our friends when they try something new.

It’s in the advice someone has trusted you enough to ask for. It’s in the fresh, oven-baked goods that fill your home with comfort and the smell of warm spices. It’s in the dancing that turns into laughter that turns into twirling around until you’re dizzy.

It’s all over. It’s everywhere. And I’m so lucky that I live in a world where there are Octobers and a chance to start again. 🍂🍁

Zero part of this was comfortable for her, but shoutout to Alyssa for sitting so well for this sternum piece. Proof that we can do hard things.

Peonies in all stages of blooming, just like the rest of us. 🤍

Haven’t posted in forever but look how cute!!! 🐢🌿 thanks for your trust, Brette! 🤗

Suffice it to say I gave up on social media in the second half of 2024. Creating content is a hustle I don’t have the time or energy for. Let’s see if I can do a better job sharing my work this year and inspire you to book that tattoo you’ve been wanting.

If you want an appointment, send me a DM! My schedule is very all over the place for the next few months and I’d love to squeeze you in where I can. ✍🏼
