I haven’t had a lot to post because I’ve had a lot of in progress pieces. I’m not 100% sure this is done. Originally it was just the mandala on the shoulder and the dragonfly, but she kept coming back and adding to it. This is what it looked like the last time I saw it.

When @t0mniscient asked me to make his first tattoo for him, I was stoked. I got to make this fun #ourobors #penrosetriangle piece for him. #tattoo #tattoos #foundationtattooworks #ftwtattoo #fortwayne #fortwaynetattoo #fortwayneart #indianatattoo #indiana #midwesttattoo #midwest #downtownfortwayne #dtfw (at Foundation Tattoo Works) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAnoGHcgPkm/?igshid=9jekph743rgh

I drew this up for somebody and they changed their mind, but @xapismarie decided it was too cool to go to waste! It’s about murder stuff. #tattoo #tattoos #foundationtattooworks #ftwtattoo #fortwayne #fortwaynetattoo #fortwayneart #indianatattoo #indiana #midwesttattoo #midwest #downtownfortwayne #dtfw #myfavoritemurder #ssdgm #tattoosnob #eternalink #electrumsupply (at Foundation Tattoo Works) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAksgCFAMqW/?igshid=fkfps98uq8k9

I’m back to work! Here’s a #coveruptattoo I did today. I always love making peonies, but I recently discovered how fun it is to tattoo an iris flower. What’s your favorite flower? #tattoo #tattoos #foundationtattooworks #ftwtattoo #fortwayne #fortwaynetattoo #fortwayneart #indianatattoo #indiana #midwesttattoo #midwest #downtownfortwayne #dtfw #tattoosnob #eternalink #electrumsupply #electrumgoldstandardcartridges #blackwork #blackpeony (at Foundation Tattoo Works) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAJWHwrgwPd/?igshid=1daz97yalpibk

I figured out how to post my prints on the @foundationtattooworks online shop. Available to be shipped or you can schedule an in person pick up. I will not be reprinting these, once they’re gone, they’re gone for good. foundationtattooworks.com (at Foundation Tattoo Works) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_bP3A8AaGe/?igshid=mcpddqvwc9x6

Even though our world is crazy right now, we can see some light at the end of the tunnel. It has been a rough few weeks for our shop, but we aren't ready to give up yet! We want to reward you for helping us, so we are starting a tattoo raffle. Each ticket you purchase will enter you into our raffle for a chance to win a full day tattoo session (a $1,200 value!). Raffle tickets are available through our website only. We have also added the option to purchase gift cards through our website. You can pick an amount to help cover your post-lockdown tattoo dreams. Foundation Tattoo Works values all of their clients, and we can't wait to schedule a tattoo with you so we can see you again. We hope you are staying safe and healthy, and we thank you for your support in these hard times.
