I’ve been tattooing for 7 years, and I’d love to share more healed and lifestyle photos of my clients.

 

That’s when I had the idea to celebrate y’all with a photography contest! But this is not just for people who are great at taking photos. It’s for everyone. 

 

WHAT KIND OF PHOTOS AM I LOOKING FOR?

Any kind! My clients are so creative and magical, I don’t want to limit this in any way.

  • Close up of just your tattoo? Yes.
  • Adorable selfie? Yes!
  • Photo of you dancing, petting a dinosaur or your dog, doing a handstand? Yes, yes, yes!

As long as your tattoo is somewhere in the photo, it counts. I don’t just want to see the tattoo, I want to celebrate the person wearing it. That’s YOU.

 

 

Photos submitted by: Amanda Straughan, Kat Appleby, and Maddie Pley.    

 

 

WHO CAN ENTER?

 Anyone I’ve tattooed over the last 7 years.
