![🥕 Finished this bold veggie wraparound for Stuart! 🥦
Last week I got to complete this full-color vegetable-themed tattoo for my long-time client Stuart, wrapping around his forearm with layered texture, movement, and personality. From peppers to beets and leafy greens—this piece was such a fun and creative take on botanical body art!
We used references images from his actual garden!
It’s always an honor when returning clients trust me to keep adding to their collection. Wraparound tattoos like this are such a great way to make a bold statement while keeping things playful and personal.
If you’ve been thinking about a colorful, custom forearm tattoo or want to bring a theme like this to life, I’d love to chat with you!

![✨ Sarah’s Full Sleeve is Complete! ✨
After multiple sessions, we finally wrapped up Sarah’s full sleeve tattoo—and I’m so proud of how it all came together! We tied in two existing tattoos with vibrant floral work representing her family, reworked an older stained glass-style design to match the new color palette, and framed the upper arm with soft leafy elements to give it a dreamlike flow.
We started with bold line work at the top to match the original tattoos, and gradually transitioned to thinner, more delicate lines toward the forearm for a softer, more refined finish.
Large-scale tattoos like this are a true journey, and I can’t thank Sarah enough for her trust, patience, and awesome energy throughout the process!

![Earlier this month at Bone & Blossom, I had the pleasure of creating this large-scale floral piece on the lower leg, and I’m obsessed with how it turned out! 🌸Flowing, organic, and packed with detail—this one was all about bringing nature to life on skin.
Big pieces like this take time, but they’re SO worth it. The way florals wrap around the body makes for some of the most stunning, timeless tattoos. Would you ever commit to a large-scale botanical piece? Drop a 🌿 in the comments if you would!
