Hi 👋 My name is Alyssa (she/her). I'm a knitter, reader, writer, sometimes amateur artist in various mediums, occasional traveler. Lover of animals, science, being outside, my cool husband, and my cool fish.
I accidentally layered two ornamental pieces on top of each other and then it made this cool floral-y deco mandala thing after I erased a few conflicting lines. I thought it turned out fun so I'm posting it. Happy accident. 🫡 #ornamentaltattoo #blackworktattoo #tattooapprentice

Ornamental flash inspired by a mixture of a printer’s sample book from 1907 and some pictures I took of a tapestry motif somewhere in Denmark. Scroll if you want to see the process video building from my physical sketchbook to this digital sheet.

Dear great and powerful algorithm, please let this post find the kind of people who would get a silly lil tattoo of a cartoon hen wearing pleasers. I know it's not for everyone, but I know they're out there. I want to believe.

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL RABBIT DAY 2026!!
Rabbits have always been such a big part of my life. Mine were Harry, Oreo, and Mr. Bunny (pictured in 2+3), and they each were part of my family over many many years. Rabbits are so weird and so cool. 🐇

I wanted to show off how a simple piece like these baseball caps from the last sheet I posted can be customized between the colors you pick vs. black and gray, the initials, let alone the placement. The simple can still be so meaningful! 🧢💕

Everyone has been confused about the theme of this sheet, and no one more than I...I think I finally decided to call it "ten year old boy summer" 🌞 🦎 🧢 😅
