Peep these three new onyx piercings added to one of my favorite client’s set up. He got his second lobe piercings done as well as another helix piercing. He talked a bit about what goals he has for future piercings, and I’m looking forward to it!

Hello frens! We are having a tattoo/piercing event on Friday, February 13th from 12-8. The event will take place at Immortal Tattoo Co, in Ballston Spa.

Please reach out to me to book your tattoo or piercing appointment if you cannot make it, or dislike the uncertainty of walk-ins. I’ll honor these prices and deals for anyone who books before the event. Your appointment must take place in February though :)

I’ll have a few other designs cooked up to be announced later for this event as well.

Thanks for reading, thanks for your support, and your love ❤️ looking forward to seeing you guys!

Big changes for 2026:
This year I am going to be prioritizing my health, and my family. I am someone who suffers from several chronic illnesses, such as EDS, POTS, & Fibromyalgia, as well as being neurodivergent. I’ve spent a long time pushing my health to the side and my body is starting to show it.

I WILL BE MOVING TO AN APPOINTMENT ONLY BASIS
FOR SERVICES.

This will allow me to spend the time I need healing, and giving myself grace. Also, giving my children the love & attention they deserve.

TATTOO PRICING & INFO

Custom Work:
These types of tattoos will be charged at $150 an hour, and I will give you an estimate of how long I think it will take. If I quote a set price, it will only be that much and nothing more/less unless the design or size is changed.

Premade Designs & Flash:
I will either give you a set price, or charge $100
an hour for large projects.

I also offer half day (3 hours, $350) rates, and full day (6 hours, $700) rates. These appointments can be one or multiple tattoos.

I also have a pretty sick referral program.
For every 3 people that you refer to me, and I tattoo:
I will give you a free 2-3 inch tattoo.

My clients mean everything to me and I like to take care of my people. Please make sure that when you are referred by someone: that you provide their first and last name, so I can add it to my spreadsheet.

PIERCING APPOINTMENTS

These appointments can be booked via the link in my bio, or by sending me a message. Retainers are not needed for piercing appointments. I ask for 24 notice for these appointments, although I will post when I’m at the shop for same day appointments.

If you bring a friend to be pierced with you, you will both get $10 off your services.

I only pierce with high quality jewelry from companies certified by the Association for Professional Piercers
(APP). Although I am not a member, I do adhere to their standards and practices. Prices start at $60 for basic implant-grade titanium jewelry.

Some jewelry companies that I use are Neometal, Buddha, Junipurr, BodyCircle, Anatometal, People’s, and Khrysos.

Thank you so much for reading this! Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you would like to book. 🖤

Today, we took our kiddos to urban air to celebrate their birthdays! My son’s bday is on Jan 20th and my daughter’s is coming up on the 27th. So they are both 10 this week until Alaska’s birthday.

Usually, we do a cake and a special dinner on the actual day of their birthday, and do something cool the weekend in between!

My children, myself and their dad are all Aquarius suns. What’s your sun sign?

I’m excited to announce that I will be joining @kaycirose_tattoo and @alphie.tats at @immortaltattooco in Ballston Spa, NY.

After meeting Kayci & Alphie at the convention that I attended in October, I was super excited to see they had a spot open.

I’m changing a few things about how I operate, including moving to an appointment only situation for services. There will be a post explaining all of that soon! Please reach out to book an appointment with me for your tattoo, piercing, or pmu needs.

Thank you for all of your love and support, I’m looking forward to the future 🖤😌

Hey frens, so you know: I’ve officially stepped away from Apothecary Ink. I’m truly thankful for the opportunity and the experiences I gained during my time there. It was an important chapter, and I carry the lessons with me.

That said, this transition feels good. I’m excited, energized, and ready for what’s next. I’m looking forward to meeting new people, exploring new spaces, and stepping into opportunities that feel aligned with where I’m headed now.

I’ve got a great situation with grounded, positive people in the works, so keep an eye out for announcements about where I land. I’m genuinely excited for what’s ahead. 🖤

Fresh helix for Alex 💙🤍💗
He was brave and did this one solo; no emotional support human needed. Some people get really anxious about new piercings and I’m always happy to help walk you through the process. It’s okay to be anxious, I know you can do this.

I am grateful for that which I have.

I have more than others, less than some,
but regardless, I am blessed with
what is mine. 🖤

I got to experience giving these cool second lobe piercings to a really rad 10 year old. Lil homie came through with a bucket full of sas and was reading the Percy Jackson Series. She ended up choosing two different color @neometaljewelry ends! She was super brave and felt very Bonita with her new look.
