The Luna moth.
As some of you know, I’m moving to Oswego May 1. I’ll still be tattooing at Rainy Valentine Studio, just shifting my home base.

Once I’m settled, I’m hoping to open up more availability and take on more projects!

Made this for a client who recently took first place at The Moth.

Composition was intentionally separated into three fragments. Each element functions independently but remains visually linked through repeated structures. Approach was to translate storytelling into form..nonlinear, but cohesive.
Thanks Alina for your trust ✨

Added edelweiss to this Henry Constantine Richter illustration I did in 2021. Also used new healthy skin tool to adjust the image to a semi true healed appearance. Check the “healed skin” vs original. Thanks Hayley for your trust!
