More colour please!!!!! 🎨

Michele first came to me 3 years ago, when I was just starting out, to add two birds to her collection. 🥹
(The first 3 birds at the bottom + hearts were not done by me)

Each little bird represents her kids and grandkids.

Now we got to add another little bird to the family AND this beautiful Phoenix to represent herself, her journey, her strength, and always watching over her babies. 💖

I absolutely love getting to add to meaningful pieces like this over the years. Thank you for trusting me again!

Birthday tattoo for my dad! 🤘🏼

(I warned him that tattoos were addictive)

New spine tattoo for Jess!
When the nerves kicked in, I assured her that I am light-handed, and she sat like a rock. Except those moments that I unexpectedly came at her with a cold wipe 😂🫨

Honoured to create this special memorial piece for Mary in memory of her dad. 🤍

She wanted this phrase written in her dad’s handwriting, but only had two small notes he had written on envelopes. Using those, I was able to deconstruct and recreate most of the letters needed to piece together the phrase in his own handwriting.

A subtle, natural powder brow for Jaya, with a little corrective work to even out the brows and create a gentle lift.

For this permanent makeup procedure, I used an inorganic pigment designed to soften and fade gradually over time.

So if you love the idea of more balanced, defined brows but you're nervous about them looking too bold or too permanent, you have options! ✨

Viktoria braved it out and trusted me with my very first nostril piercing! 🤙🏼🖤

We repierced a previous piercing that had closed over, and she did amazing.

Fun fact: It's completely normal for your eyes to water during a nostril piercing. It's simply a natural nerve reflex and doesn't necessarily mean it hurts more.

Many of you have been asking, and I'm so excited to finally say... piercings are here! 🎉

Before launching this service, I:
• Completed professional piercing training and certification
• Earned my Bloodborne Pathogens certification
• Was approved by Canadian Piercing Supply to purchase professional, pre sterilized jewellery and equipment
• Practiced extensively on latex
• Successfully completed my first volunteer nostril and navel piercings
• Built my jewellery collection using implant grade titanium only

✨ Introductory Pricing ✨

These prices are available for a limited time while I continue gaining experience before moving to my regular rates.

Piercings can be booked on their own or added to your tattoo appointment. A maximum of 3 piercings can be completed per visit.

🖤 Tattoo Availability Update 🖤

I'm almost fully booked for the year! I have one Sunday appointment remaining on November 22 before taking a holiday break through December. I'll be back on January 10.

BUT I've also opened Thursday evenings for shorter appointments like flash tattoos and piercings. My next available Thursday is October 1.

Danielle was my very first lip blush model!
We created a soft, natural enhancement to define her lip border and add healthy looking colour. Once healed, lip blush fades to about 50-60% of the initial intensity, giving a beautiful "your lips, but better" look.

No lipstick. No lip liner.

Just freshly done lip blush tattoo to go with her eyeliner and eyebrow tattoos 💋
