BLOODROOT PLANT

-

“I would say that the majority of my booking inquiries are botanical or plant-inspired. Nature and plants are definitely some of my favorite things to tattoo, and I feel they lend themselves really nicely to the medium. I made this bloodroot plant tattoo in February for my client Bree. She had reached out to me to help her create a piece to be representa­tive of her new graphic novel that was coming out.

“This piece, in particular, felt really special to get to make, because I was able to help Bree celebrate this amazing accomplish­ment of publishing her book by giving her a tattoo. I love being able to make a tattoo for someone that they get to have and enjoy and keep for themselves, because a tattoo can be a really great gift to yourself when you’re proud of an accomplish­ment that you’ve made.

“Being able to make a physical representa­tion of that accomplish­ment, even in a small way, that the client then gets to carry around with them is such an amazing feeling, and I am so thankful that I am entrusted to make these pieces.” — Emma Thompson, Earth Altar Studio
