It’s been a few years since getting my lashes done, but it’s the best feeling. Our NoDa Crescent @salonlofts community just had a wonderful lash artist @madebyjade.est move into the lofts! She is brand new to the area, so give her some love and book with her. Welcome to NC Maya! These lashes make me feel freaking unstoppable!

Brinner won the rescue puppy lottery, and got to be loved by two of my wonderful long term clients @_spicylady_ and @sunniliz who were roommates when they rescued her. An hour out from being euthanized, the shelter wasn’t going to allow anyone to adopt her, but the front desk lady told them “you have to *wink wink* FIND. HER. OWNER. *wink wink*” and Leah’s boyfriend (now husband,) West, came to save the day and claimed Brinner. She was a certified grade A good girl, the best friend to Cash the boxer, and protector of their human children too. What a lucky girl Brinner was to have been saved and loved so dearly. Thanks so much for your trust, Leah! #wedontdeservedogs #rescuedog #adoptdontshop #petportraittattoo (at Archery Tattoo) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp5HaNLOtYV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A loving ode to the very distinct ‘Why?’ phase of early childhood development, that @_spicylady_ ‘s 3 1/2 year old daughter is going through right now. Never quit learning little one! ALWAYS question the world around you and how it works ❤️ #thewhyphase #thewhyphaseisthebestphase #neverquitlearning #knowledgeispower #benchmarks #childhooddevelopment (at Archery Tattoo) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp3vBbdu6kS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Luna moth and some flowers on @th1rstyk1rst1e ‘s hand yesterday! Such a fun piece to get the privilege to do! (at Archery Tattoo) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp09B70O7tM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Loving Chase @dubdue is as second nature as breathing. I’m grateful everyday for the life we are building. We made tortellini and mussels tonight, opened a bottle of wine, gave each other gifts (he made a photo album of 2022 for us, and I bought him two dress shirts for work) Happy Valentine’s Day, baby!

Kim and I are nearly birthday twins! And we also share a love for puppies, so we did a sweet memorial piece for her pup, Riley, who crossed the rainbow bridge around Christmas 💕 I don’t know what we’ve done to deserve the love of dogs, but I know humans are all the better for it.

I had the honor to tattoo my friend @thegoodbrowcolumbus who was down in Charlotte this past weekend visiting and tattooing her local clients! She has made cosmetic tattooing her full time job this past year, and I was trained in it a few years back, so it felt extra special that she would have me do a tattoo based on our shared love of a bold brow, and cosmetic tattooing equipment. Anyone who wants to have their lips or brows done next time she is in town, should contact her and get on her books! (at Archery Tattoo) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoYIBA0uRWU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

More stained glass buntings, this time with flat backed colored marbles! DM to claim! https://ift.tt/2UoprPr

One of the final ones before all the mandates for social distancing happened. Still took precautions and myself and my client both wore face masks. I’m going to miss tattooing during this time hunkering down, but I’m grateful to have developed another skill set that I can use in the meantime to support myself. I’ll be posting more stained glass projects throughout the day and getting back to people about pricing inquiries! I appreciate everyone’s patience and cooperation. Tattoo shops in NC have to close down at 5pm today due to a state wide mandate while all this COVID-19 blows over. This week is suppposed to be among the worst, but I still feel like we should’ve been doing more, earlier. Please stay home, and please take this seriously. It’s doesn’t only affect the elderly, about 50% of those going into the hospital are between 20-39 years of age (maybe in part because healthcare is so expensive, and so many young people haven’t been to the doctor in years, so they don’t know if they have underlying health conditions.) The longer people ignore the calls to do so, the longer non-essential services are closed and the more likely others are to die because of continued spread. Please think of others, and the small businesses, restaurants, and retail employees that rely upon this being over. #itsnotaboutyou #weallplayapart #covid_19 #shelterinplace #nonessentialbusinessshutdown #covid_19quarantine https://ift.tt/33IBbPJ

Going to run out of new material very soon, but here is a newer one. ***Today, March, 23rd, 2020. North Carolina has ordered businesses like hair salons, nail salons, and tattoo shops to close at 5pm on Wednesday, March 25 until further notice in an attempt to stop the spread of COVID-19.**** If you have an appointment with me and we haven’t rescheduled it yet, I’ll be in contact over the next few days to do so! Your deposits will be honored and your appointment moved to a later date, to when we are allowed to reopen. Thank you for your patience, and for your continued patronage! #stayathome #covid_19 https://ift.tt/2vISXWk

Stained glass window buntings! Suddenly working from home and want something pretty to look at? Want to know how to help small independent contractors keep afloat? Buy some of our creations! I have a ton of these in the works, with all sorts of colors coming. DM me for details and pricing ❤️ https://ift.tt/399jMAL

It’s nice receiving photos from clients of healed tattoos! No matter how simple, I love seeing them all! Feel free to send me over some healed photos while we are all social distancing ❤️ https://ift.tt/2vF3fqt

Preparing for the worst, hoping for the best ✌🏻 and washing my damn hands! https://ift.tt/2IF9P3h

I’ve been asked to be one of the featured artists at @orangeolivenoda in their spring art showing, based on spring and awakening, so I’m pushing myself to make art show worthy stained glass pieces. I’ve been dabbling in stained glass for about a decade now, with some several year long breaks in there, but I really enjoy it, and love how satisfying it is to make something out of glass! I’ve been super productive today, and already knocked out a few flowers and a piece for the show. https://ift.tt/2TYWE2g
