This sleeve is inspired by love and gratitude for women and all we endure. Magnolias for perseverance, roses for love and courage, marigolds for grief, butterflies for femininity and moths for transformation. Thank you @asmg2012 for traveling, for getting tattooed by me since 2009, for your friendship and trust. I am so lucky to know you.

Dreamy half sleeve finished on the wonderful @alexrosequinn - the sunflower, rosemary and scarlet tiger moth are new and the rest is healed. We started this one year ago and it’s so satisfying to see it completed. I hope to get healed photos soon so you can see it all settled in. Thank you, Alex for your trust and connection.

Great Blue Heron on @ryan_lemere with a coverup. The original tattoo was scarred and raised, so you can see where it sits in the coverup. I love how the bird wraps in a cuff around the arm. It’s hard to capture in a photo, but I am thrilled with this piece. Thank you, Ryan! So happy to have been tattooing you and knowing you since 2014! . . . . #heron #greatblueheron #tattoo #coverup #flowerhousetattoo #herontattoo #birdtattoo (at Karen Glass Tattoo) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVSt3DkL63t/?utm_medium=tumblr

This tattoo is 4 days into the healing process. It’s just starting to peel and flake. It was too red right after tattooing for me to get a good pic, but I was able to grab one yesterday after my Pilates class with @bonniecarterpilates - snake & dogwood flowers made w/ 🤎 @flowerhouse.tattoo #snake #dogwood #flowerhousetattoo (at Karen Glass Tattoo) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVNn_QnrcPi/?utm_medium=tumblr
