TRYING OUT PIN PRICKING - What is it? How is it Done?

Some memories never land. They stay suspended— in wind, in laughter, in the quiet moments shared high above the world. This brown-ink paragliding tattoo was created in memory of her father. A tribute to the time they spent together in the sky, where freedom felt endless and life felt light. Though he’s no longer here, those moments still live on— etched gently into skin, carried forward with love. Brown ink felt right for this piece. Warm, grounded, and timeless—like a memory you return to again

There’s something about brown ink that just sits differently on the skin—like it was always meant to be there. This set of moon phases flowing down her spine leans into that softness. It complements her natural tones instead of competing with them, letting the design settle in with a more lived-in, almost timeless feel. It’s still a statement… just a quieter one. If you’ve been drawn to something softer, more natural, or a little different from traditional blackwork, I’d love to explore that wit

A graceful sweep of lily of the valley, growing from the upper arm and arching over the cap of the shoulder. Soft pinks glow quietly against the skin—delicate, intentional, and effortlessly elegant. Fine-line florals like this don’t shout. They linger. 🌸 Every curve was placed to follow the body’s natural movement, creating something light, timeless, and beautifully understated. 📍 Resident Artist | Prick and Poke Tattoo | Southpaw Tattoo Parlor, Grants Pass, OR 📍 Guest Artist | Sorry Mom Ink,
