- Title: First tattoos I’ve made recently
- Caption: I’m surprised to be making so many first tattoos lately. I feel like my work is pretty loud and my expectation is for most people to play it safe with a first tattoo. Truly a pleasure and grateful to see people taking the plunge into the deep-end. My name is Chris Burton and you can find me at Dog Street Tattoo in New Paltz, NY

- Title: Got my palms done today
- Caption: went to Anna rispoli in claymont de :) my hands hold ink really well so excited to see how these heal
Edit: yall… I didnt want the extra E to make it spell Bee, sorry for the bad news. I hope you all can forgive me😅
also!! they’re two separate tattoos hence the words being on each hand rather than spelled left to right..
I didn’t want the W and N from slow down to be moved up a knuckle and I really love the tattoos overall.
I have a few hand tattoos including one on the side of my palm that have all healed nicely with minimal fading in 10+ years. I hope to have some good news for you all once these are healed lol

Hi guys!
I have like 10 tattoos, and most of them are on my hands, ofc.
Recently, I discovered a new (new to me) tattoo artist in Kraków, and she’s amazing! I don’t know how she does it, but the final result is sick! I wish all my tattoos had been done by her.
If you’re looking for a tattoo artist in Kraków, Katowice, Tarnów, or even Warsaw (yes, she works in all of these cities, which is amazing too!), I can definitely tell you she’s the one.
You can find her on Instagram: @shinu.tattoo
And this is one of her works. Let me know what you think of it!

I love the newest addition to my arm, a sweet mourning dove. I’ve also included a photo showing him next to my existing bunny tattoo.
I’m thinking of adding a squirrel next to complete my nature-themed arm. It’s becoming a meaningful collection, all of these animals I see when walking with my dog, which I love to do!
No negative comments please! 😊

My dragon was done without the thought of irezumi and built a sleeve around it, so it may not be the most traditional. Dragon done by a different artist.
