Roses and Rivets

Jellyfish and poppies right on the ribs (!!!) for the immensely tough Laura, who not only sat for a long time, but waited patiently for a long time for this extremely fun to do tattoo! Thank you so much for the trust and lovely conversation. I'm always so profoundly moved by connecting with my clients and hearing their stories! Information coming SOON on new booking procedures! Stay tuned this week for more - I hate having to close my books, but I have found a solution that will streamline bookings for both y'all and me. Excited to share! #ribtattoo #jellyfishtattoo #dotworktattoo #dotwork #poppytattoo #blackwork #stippledtattoo #lineworktattoo #rosesandrivets805 #santapaula #venturacounty

Matching #fineline tattoos for a pair of amazing besties - wishbone, poppy, rosemary, and sage. And all the fun conversation! A win-win for all. #finelinetattoo #blacktattoo #blackwork #wishbonetattoo #poppytattoo #stippledtattoo #rosesandrivets805 #venturacounty #santapaula

Announcing.... Flash Fridays! Starting in September, once per month I’m blocking out a day for predrawn #tattooflash pieces. This is not a flash event, but a time when you can get on my calendar for a predrawn design without having to wait in the months-long queue for appointments. Most designs are small to palm sized (such as this); designs are as is, and placement is for arms/legs/back only. Deposit will be required to book a time on the given day, billable online and able ...to be paid with a credit card, in order to reserve a time. I’ll open up bookings to the general public two weeks ahead of the scheduled date! Subscribers to my email list will get first dibs, three weeks ahead of the scheduled date. Want to join the email list? DM me your info and I’ll be happy to add you. This design - along with several others - will be available in September! Stay tuned for more! #tattoodesign #tattooart #tattooartist #floraltattoo #poppytattoo #linework #illustration #lineworktattoo #rosesandrivets805 #santapaula #venturacounty

Finding the link between the brain and the heart...always a balance! #blackwork design for one of my first regulars here in #venturacounty. Love this illustrative style! Consultations for new appointments begin today - I have closed my books in the meantime to accommodate this round of potential clients. However, waiting list requests are always open! Due to my availability - balancing running the business at #rosesandrivets805 plus going to flight school - and the overwhelmi...ng demand for appointments, this is the only way I am able to keep my calendar manageable. Thanks to you all for your understanding! I wish I could get you all in for #tattoo appointments within just a few weeks, but right now, it’s a wait of at least a few months. Thanks for looking and for the continued support of my studio! #hearttattoo #anatomicalhearttattoo #geometrictattoo #dotworktattoo #stippledtattoo #santapaula

Wolf and outdoors scene for Xavier - thanks so much for the trust! Lots of little dots and stippled shading throughout. #dotworktattoo #stippledtattoo #wolftattoo #blackwork #rosesandrivets805 #santapaula #venturacounty

Freehand #gapfillertattoo from last week for Synthia - it was so much fun to finish off her half sleeve with a sunflower, more cherry blossoms, and greenery! Thank you for the trust. #freehandtattoo #sleevetattoo #lineworktattoo #botanicaltattoo #sunflowertattoo #cherryblossomtattoo #blackwork #rosesandrivets805 #santapaula #venturacounty
