So, @reillymeehan (who is a rising star chef, go check his food skills out if you want to get hungry) asked me to do a proper homage to the glorious Meyer lemon. We aren’t done yet, but we had to take a snack break. . . . . . #meyerlemon #tattoo #botanicaltattoo #manusluxtattoo #nakona

Native/invasive #5, a talisman to glide through the trials and tribulations of treading this earth. Thanks for the complete freedom and trust... . #tribulusterrestris #geraniumrobertianum #36teethtochewthedirt #tattoo #manusluxtattoo #nakona

Eastern hemlock awareness week. . . . . #tattoo #blackandgreybotanical #manusluxtattoo

Another chapter in the native/invasive series, still lots more to do on this section. Always so grateful for those collectors who can synchronize visions, who journey with me In discovery as their bodysuit becomes apparent and grows organically. For us there is resonance in the process, in the environment, in the wind through the trees. in the crow of a bird, in the leap of a coyote. . . #tattoo #manusluxtattoo #nakona #rockrosestudio #nativeinvasive #21stcenturybodysuits

Happy to have gotten some more hours into this math-tech engineered suit. Having the opportunity to both collaborate and have plenty of freedom, as well as being part of upgrading some of humanity into something beyond a simple one word label to describe our surface features. We are far beyond the labels we cling to... . . #21stcenturybodysuits #tattoo #manusluxtattoo #nakona #sftattooartists #wearenotsimplyskin #postpostmodern

Second session on an ongoing exploration into line, shape, shade, and how these can speak of biology, softness, and beauty. Grateful to get to work on other artists with open eyes... @nicole.sweeney_ . . . #tattoo #manusluxtattoo #nakona #21stcenturybodysuits

took a small break from visual making to get busy with @rockrosestudio. Do you know where your food comes from? #gyo

Grateful and pleased to have gotten the opportunity to do the first piece in a series “native/invasive” The trust and willingness of clients to share visions is always humbling, many thank you’s to such open minded and brave clients. As part of these strange, confused times we live in, I find it hard to believe some of us still can find certainty in who or what belongs here and who or what doesn’t. This earth is one home to all of us plants and animals and the boundaries between have never been blurrier.... . . #manusluxtattoo #sftattoo #nakona #allnative #21stcenturybodysuits #tattoo #botanicaltattoo

Something about wild blackberries... . . #rubusursinus #pacificblackberries #tattoo #manusluxtattoo #nakona #botanicaltattoo

some real food for your feed... @rockrosestudio

Added on to an existing piece with some flowers chosen by her for her loved ones. I always appreciate when clients yield over some control and have trust. Many thanks #botanicaltattoo #manusluxtattoo #nakona

Work in progress on a serious maker with open aspirations and few restrictions. @nicole.sweeney_ We headed this direction influenced by her own work, body shapes, the angles which orient our mind’s eye. Much more to come on this, many thanks! #manusluxtattoo #nakona #tattoo #geobotanical #collaborativetattoo #bayareaartists
