I just found "What's Between Your Legs?" from Patrick Krawczyk (and @moomcomics.bsky.social) and it sounds and looks so good?? Apart from the actual content, obviously, the hand-painted vibe makes it so extra unique (especially in times of AI sloppification)! www.kickstarter.com/projects/moo...

Planted the first bit of greenery for this longterm project. Well, technically it's already the 2nd part, the little flask at the bottom is from last year. Plus a celebratory lily for now officially Lily! Thank you so much! Can't wait to see this grow into a beautifully chaotic jungle over time. 💖🌱

At the bottom there's a healed bottle in a graphic style with the stopper popping out. The fresh tattoo is growing out of the bottle.

(1/2) Thank you so much for adopting this cute and slightly murderous wanna-pigeon, Anna!! We (extremely spontaneously) also added the OptInk to our plans for today. (My very first OptInk! I think I'll only have to do approximately 200 more until I'm as fast at these as our OptInk-OG Pauline. :D)

1/2 More magical Graz encounters! One flash and one custom each for Röha and Mika (plus a healed shot of Röha's water raccoon from two years ago). Röha got my happy spring froggo (with a tiny custom adjustment) and a symbol.

Further up, below the elbow, a symbol of a square with a circle and semicolon.Close-up of the frog.A healed tattoo on the back of the hand. It's a raccoon doing water magic, including some gallifreyan witchery.

It's never too late for your first tattoo! Thank you so much for your trust, Maria. It's not just phrasemongering when I say: you are such a wonderful and truly inspiring human. When I grow up I wanna be like you. May this colorful little friend bring you luck for all your never-ending adventures.💖

Guestspotting in Graz and my 1st appointment here was one I would never have guessed. My sister has always been the type to never get a tattoo. Until she wasn't. We're assuming this will remain her only tattoo, so we made it a sisters thing (she even gathered her courage and did the little 💖).

My sister's and my leg, both featuring fresh tulip tattoos.My sister's tulip. It's watercolor style and has a cute little face and a crayon heart above it. It looks very content.A photo of me tattooing my own leg.

On my way to Austria for guest spot and family reasons! PSA: My custom books will re-open once I'm back in Berlin, beginning of July. :) (Seriously though, I envy b/g artists. 90% of my luggage is tattoo colors.🥲😂)

The little healed twig at the bottom is from a couple of years ago. Now the mission was to let it grow up and do a fun circle at the shoulder, lovingly framing the cute bear (not tattooed by me) in a way that makes it part of the tattoo without covering it too much.

A fresh tattoo in a delicate illustrativ style. A floral design of flowers and vines is growing up from the ribs under the arm, over the shoulder blade, where it frames a pre-existing bear tattoo, and making a circle around the pointy part of the shoulder. Photo taken from the left side with focus on the shoulder. Same tattoo, photo taken from the back with focus on the bear and the flowers and vines surrounding it.Same tattoo, photo taken from the back with focus on the bear and the flowers and vines surrounding it.Same tattoo, bird's eye view with focus on the flowers circling the shoulder.

Future dystopian sci-fi has imagined things like nuclear wastelands, sure. Totalitarian oppression, climate catastrophe, sure. But rarely has it imagined today's real horror of AI making stupid and annoying people 100x worse.

Thanks for trusting me with another one of your fabulous ideas, Mel! And for the brain stimulation in the form of post-tattoo Mastermind (last time I played that was 30yrs ago). It's always a(n introvert's favorite kind of) party with you, can't wait till next time! :D [lines healed, colors fresh]

1/2 I cannot believe how many came to our "Kein Bock auf Nazis" Flash Day yesterday! When we opened our doors, there was a whole Berghain-worthy queue of wonderful people ready to not only get tattoos, but also to show up and support this important cause.

After many years of her (not entirely) secret double life as a wildlife rescue superhero, Anja finally went public and is now extremely officially a total badass and member of The Deer Gang. Thank you so much for trusting me with not only your very first but also such an important tattoo! 🦌🫶

Fresh tattoo on the inside of the lower arm. It's a young deer partly disappearing behind wildflowers and grasses, all in a sketchy illustrative style with watercolor elements, mostly in green and yellow/orange tones.Fresh tattoo on the inside of the lower arm.
