grommets are rubber circle thingies you use to attach the needle to the machine so the two metal pieces don't try to kill each other (and I got the hybrid ones)

do not tattoo my work

I need to say again, please DO NOT tattoo my work without permission, I have no way to check this obviously but if you have any respect for me as a disabled artist who barely has money to buy food, do not steal my art without my consent.

I know me saying this isn't going to stop 95% of people but if you have the money and privilege to get a tattoo then pay me for using MY design as well so I can continue paying bills and buy basic necessities. Art is not popping up randomly on the internet, artists work hard to make a living and it's shitty that people just take it without asking first.

I'm constantly asked if people can tattoo my art and I have tattoo tickets in my shop that you can purchase and use my art for a tattoo

edit: wanted to add that some artists might be fine with this but many are not, so it's always best to ask first.

Some garden themed flash to get trough the tail end of winter! I never draw vertically so this was a good challenge. Next up is turning this into another hand painted/inked flash sheet
