hello and happy new year !!! welcome to my first newsletter + thank you so much for being here. I had a scare last month where I thought I lost alllllll the tattoo drawings/creative work on my iPad – I hadn’t backed up my files and my iPad died – so I’m gonna start by reminding y’all to pls back up your work eeee
lately I’ve been inspired by Chinese paper cut art and ornamental work, so that’s what my latest round of tattoo designs are based on! you might also recognize elements of art nouveau, which I think of as western decorative art. I’m open to making these designs in (most) any one color.
and then! here are: two tattoos I made last year, to show you what the top two circular pieces might look like on skin, and a mock up of what some of these tattoos would look like if you got a bunch of them in black ink (and were a cherubic chinese baby.)
I’m also open to custom tattoos this time around — just make sure they’re in line with my style (check out my Instagram page for previous work.) I really do not feel great about working amid COVID, and will resume getting tested weekly once I start working again. here are my additional safety requirements for tattoo appointments:
you must wear a face mask/face covering throughout the session.
come by yourself – no additional guests.
get tested within a 1 week before your appointment, continue to be careful after your test, and reschedule if you test positive or are experiencing any symptoms.
you can book an appointment through this booking form, and I’ll be in touch via email.
last but not least, here is a ~sneak peak~ of my next drop, which is block printed on sports bras/bralettes! I love working with red ink tattoos, so ofc I’ve also loved printing in red :) I can’t decide whether to have red text for all of the bras, or if I want some to have black or white ink… that part is tbd. (drop date also tbd!)
thank y’all for reading this far! again, I really really appreciate the newsletter subscription, so that I can be less dependent upon Instagram, and your general interest in my work :’) take care and stay safe!
with love,
Ocean
