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

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

An abstraction of contrasts, a work in progress. Thanks for the freedom and release @haydenstrongart we’ll be back here again... #nakona #tattoo #21stcenturybodysuits #manusluxtattoo #abstracttattoo

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

Many clients come to me curious if there is some way to unify existing tattoos done in a piecemeal fashion. It’s a challenge, but ultimately worth it. Enjoy your bodysuits, with any number of tattoos . . . #manusluxtattoo #nakona #21stcenturybodysuits #tattoo #topographic

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

Sometimes it’s painfully obvious how things take time and perseverance beyond the now usual instant virtual time frames. Some find this frustrating, while others gain strength through the struggle. Thanks for making the time . . #tattoo #manusluxtattoo #nakona #abstracttattoo #tttism

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
