Scheduling update: I have less than 20 entries to get through! Woohoo! Check your emails because I sent out a lot of proposed appointments yesterday š If you sent in an inquiry after 8/29, I will be getting in touch with you very soon! Thank you all so much for sending in your ideas and for your patience! I'm looking forward to making these happen! šŗšŗšŗ
Books open via Google Form! Link in profile
Hi y'all! A little update on how scheduling is going:
I'm still working through the first day of entries (and I've gotten more and more each day since opening my books back in August). I'm so honored to have received all of these wonderful ideas in such a short period of time! Thank you all so much! I promise I am getting through everything as quickly as possible (which still feels like a snails pace). Keep an eye on your email inboxes.
Final note: I am now completely booked for the rest of the year, so if you haven't heard from me yet, trust the offered appointment dates coming your way will be in 2023 (wow!). Thank you all so much! š„°
We are live, folks! Here is the Google form link for new tattoo inquiries!
https://forms.gle/vQAYMaCPYgjeMeKN7
I'm excited to see what y'all are looking to get!
Check out my Instagram. Follow me there as it's where I post most of my content. Here's a reel explaining a new custom tattoo process I'll have available for new appointments starting tomorrow, August 19th at Noon!

Here's some flash leaves, the only repeatable designs I have right now. Fully customizable to make unique to you, so the odds of having the exact same thing as someone else are slim.
Books open via Google Form starting tomorrow (8/19) at Noon! Stay tuned!
PART TWO:
Guess who never pulled custom flash pieces onto Facebook from Instagram? This person.
Here's some custom flash pieces I'll have available, first come-first serve when my books open up tomorrow, August 19th at Noon! I'll be taking new inquiries via Google Form, which I will provide the link for on here and Instagram starting tomorrow at around Noon (fingers crossed that technology works in our favor). I'll post an overview of what the form will look like later today. Keep your eyes peeled!
In the meantime, here's some flash. If you're not following me on Instagram, you should. I post on there every day (I just don't like Facebook).

TLDR: BOOKS OPENING AUGUST 19TH FOR DATES IN NOVEMBER AND BEYOND. USING GOOGLE FORM FOR INQUIRIES. CUSTOM FLASH WILL BE AVAILABLE.
On Friday, August 19th at Noon, my books will be open! Woohoo!
I will be scheduling folks for a few dates available in November and then solidly through December and beyond.
I will have a link to a Google form for your tattoo inquiries. The Google form will help streamline the whole process so it's easier for me to go through inquiries and (hopefully) eliminate the back and forth of emailing and instead I can reach out with a booking date for each inquiry that much sooner.
Leading up to the 19th, I will be posting a preview of what the new booking process will look like as well as custom flash pieces I've been working on, so keep your eyes peeled for those. It's gonna be a THICC drop!
Custom flash will be a first come/first serve deal, but if you really like a design concept that's already been claimed, I'm happy to make a custom new design based on those elements.
For this booking cycle, I will be prioritizing the following subject matter:
flowers/pollinators/nature
fruits/vegetables/food
witchy/astrology
mandalas
minimalist/linework
black and grey/dot-work shading
color (traditions/neo-traditional)
That being said, don't hesitate to send your ideas even if it doesn't fall into those categories. If I don't think I am the right artist for your project, I will try to refer you elsewhere.
Stay tuned! Iām very excited!
Hello wonderful folks!
This month, I will be opening my books to schedule appointments for the winter time. I'm aiming to accept new inquiries the week of August 15th, but I'm not sure the exact day yet. I plan to do things differently as well and I'll keep you posted on what the new process will be like (ie. Google form). I'm also hoping to have some custom flash designs available when I open books again.
I appreciate your patience as I get these final things in order! Looking forward to more announcements soon!
Books currently closed! Stay tuned for when they open again later this month!
Hello Folks!
Scheduling update.
I have decided to close my books on Wednesday, May 25th, 2022 at 11:59pm.This won't be for forever, don't worry, nor does this effect appointments that have already been scheduled. I will not be taking on inquiries sent AFTER that date for new tattoos.
I want to be able to better focus my energies on designs for appointments I already have. Closing my books at this time will allow me to do that. Every client deserves thoughtful and focused attention and if I spread myself too thin, I cannot provide that. If you have sent me an inquiry prior to the above date, I will respond and get you scheduled. Please continue to be patient as I catch up on emails.
When I decide to open my books again later this summer, I will make the announcement on social media (thank goodness you're following me).
Thanks for reading!
EDIT: To clarify, if you already have an appointment scheduled, you are officially booked and we are still on for the appointment.
The thing is happening! Nervous and excited for this next adventure. Can't wait to see what kind of growth and change I experience with this new opportunity.
Truly, from the bottom of my heart, so thankful to Captive Elements and the people who have mentored and befriended me and started me on this career. I have learned so much about myself and my place in this world. Cheers to challenges, growth, change, art, connections, love, and light! š„°š
Posted this to Instagram and forgot to pull it over here! Oops!
āØ NEWS āØ
