✨Hey there! ✨👋

You can call me Cat (they/them). Lemme introduce myself!

I love tattoos, video games, journaling, food, and photography, just to name a few things. Originally born & raised in Hawaii, now living in Seattle, and in my mid 20s. I am always looking for art moots, especially fellow tattoo enthusiasts! I've got a bunch of tattoos myself and always have plans to get more.

Most of my art is inspired by the American Traditional style and I'm slowly teaching myself Neotraditional. Other forms of art I enjoy include junk journaling, origami, photography, and paper crafts.

I am NOT open for commission. However, my inbox is open to questions and fun/chill convos with cool cats 😸

You can also follow me on Instagram and now Bluesky as well!

You can find original pieces under the tag #myart

Thank you for looking and reading! I appreciate you❣️

Papercraft commission of the client's OC Lucien, a cheerful fantasy priest. He may be an upbeat, slightly clumsy sweetheart, but he can also wield fire magic - so, some spice to go with the sweet! 🔥 His character design was super fun to work with; I was especially excited about the hexagonal beads of his necklace, which I realized I could make out of sequins!

Lined with 0.7 micron, colored with Posca markers and colored pencils on mixed media, digitally rendered background.

In the search for more tattoo flash I'm also learning about tattoo history. There's so much to learn and so much flash to look at and draw! I did some Sailor Jerry redraws a while back and I wanted to do something like that again.

I've been feeling that fire to draw again. It's so rewarding to just create. Thank you for looking 🖤

I went home for the New Year and had a much needed week off from work - and in the New Year one of my resolutions is to become more disciplined in my art and really take a chance on it. I drew this rooster for my mom's Chinese zodiac, but a fire horse is on its way.

I hope everyone had a safe and happy holidays and here's to a year that's better than the last.

Neotraditional tiger face, inspired by the colors in some graffiti I saw while while playing Cyberpunk. Followed a tutorial by thebrokenpuppet. Tried some new stuff out on the ipad and learned a few new things doing this! What do we think?

[soracloudart]

not to jump on the bandwagon but I think I do want to pursue an apprenticeship one day, I don't know how to not go all in with my job, so I might as well find something to do where that's the bare minimum. and to work alongside people who are just as passionate and care as much as you do... it's so rare and valuable and I feed off of that kind of passion. It only makes me want to create more, no matter if it's in the kitchen or on paper.

entering my neotraditional era ✨

there's just something about the lines, color, and dynamic nature of this style that's grown on me and I decided to start learning how to draw it. tutorials from Tattoo Space and thebrokenpuppet are what I'm using right now but lmk if you have any suggestions!

i thought i was good at lines, but these are making me think otherwise 🫠

don't worry, trad will be back soon. and sorry for not posting. a lot has happened over the past few months

In Japan, the phoenix 鳳凰 (hou-ou) represents peace and appears during harmonious and prosperous periods.

Lines with 0.7 and 0.5 pens, done with colored pencil.

Wanted to give color a proper shot here and I think I did alright. It was tough and intimidating but I'm glad I stuck to it. I'm slowly making my way through the How to Draw Japanese Tattoos book and I'm having a lot of fun with it!

The kappa 河童 is a type of water monster and one of three major yōkai in Japanese folklore. They are said to inhabit the ponds and rivers of Japan, drowning horses, cattle, and people in the water.

Lined with 0.7mm black posca and shaded with colored pencil

God I love lining and coloring lol I just want to trace and color all of the flash

[soracloudart]

Here are some Sailor Jerry redraws! I wanted to try out some new pens I got. I'll be brave enough to learn how to spit shade eventually, but for now, I love my colored pencils.

Above: background rendered digitally in procreate. Wanted to see what was up if I ever wanted to make prints of physical work. Bottom: the original.

Yatagarasu 八咫烏 ("eight-span crow") is a mythical three-legged crow and divine messenger in Shinto mythology. He is a symbol of guidance and believed to be an incarnation of the sun.

Lined with 0.7 and 0.5 pens, shaded with a brush pen and colored pencil.

Easily my most favorite piece currently. I love how the feathers came out

Lined with 0.7 and 0.5 pens and shaded with a brush pen and colored pencils. I feel like I figured something out with this rooster. Thanks for looking 🫶

Onibaba (1964)

[soracloudart]

A demon, or oni, from the How To Draw Japanese Tattoos book. I've been having SO much fun drawing traditionally recently, especially with black and grey.

I forget what I lined this with, but the shading was done with colored pencil.
