Did you know that Kingfisher chicks have fluorescent beaks so that their parents can find them in the dark? 🥺💙⁣ ⁣ I drew this little Kingfisher years ago and i finally got to give him a home on a sleeve I’m almost done with. Keep an eye out for next session, we’ll be adding a pomegranate tree for him to perch on. 🥰⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #vegantattoos #vegantattooartist #vegantattoo #illustrativetattoo #birdtattoo #birdtattoos #kingfishertattoo #animaltattoo #animaltattoos #dotworktattoo #blackworktattoo #engravingtattoo #lineworktattoo #finelinetattoo #blackwork #phillytattoo #phillytattoos #philadelphiatattoo #phillyink #bestofphilly #fishtown #newjerseytattoo #njtattoo #njtattooartist #delawaretattoo #newyorktattoo #newyorktattoos #baltimoretattoo #marylandtattoo #dctattooartist⁣ (at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cetd06fuLRh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

What else could I say but yes when my true love whisks me away for the weekend and proposes to me with the most perfect @bloodmilk ring in the most gorgeous cemetery ever?!

You found me worn in and broken down. You looked past my thorns and saw the heart that still beat faintly. Selfless, gentle, loving and kind, you’ve guarded my heart every day just as you promised me a year ago. Thank you for loving me until I was me again. Happy anniversary @mandicreally, I love you (more) than any word can express. “In the midst of hate, I found there was, within me, an invincible love. In the midst of tears, I found there was, within me, an invincible smile. In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm. I realized, through it all, that… In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.” - Albert Camus https://www.instagram.com/p/CcNt8LjOdIg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Beneath the pearly lustre of the moon, upon the upturned faces of a thousand roses — is said to be an enchanted amulet, that when worn as heart, in return for the love-light, shall evoke the lonely spirits of the dead…. 🩸🥀 My brand new bleeding heart planchette pins are in just in time for valentine’s!
