Stickers & Prints
stickers and prints now available! I make all these stickers by hand, using up-cycled materials salvaged from junk and creative re-use shops. due to the handmade nature, they may vary slightly sticker by sticker. stickers are $5 each or 3 for $12, and i accept tips for anyone who’d like to pay extra for the hand-crafted labor!
for prints, i opted to use the lowest cost for me to print them that’s available. it means the prints aren’t the most fantastic quality, but it’s an easy way to share my artwork! because of that, prints are priced at just $5 each. tips accepted, if you feel moved to support my art practice!
stickers and prints can be mailed for a shipping and handling fee, or can be picked up in person from pretty in ink: alameda. venmo & zelle accepted, or pay in person with cash
to purchase and order shipping or in-person pickup, send me an email hax.shannon@gmail.com. thanks so much!
About Me
i started my tattoo journey with stick 'n pokes in 2014, slowly working my way towards learning how to use a machine from the guidance of dear friends and professional mentors. i'm very happy to have found a welcoming residency at pretty in ink's inclusive space
my own style has been described as magical folk illustrative, and i love to explore a variety of subjects and styles. i find inspiration in nature, weird junk, zines, traditional tattoo imagery, folk art, contemporary tattooing, mason jars, and queer identity. my work tends towards whimsy and playfulness, though i also enjoy working with organic, flowing shapes and darker, more sobering themes. i dabble in many crafts outside of tattooing, including embroidery, paper making, and gardening
about my tattoo ink & supplies
i strive to use as many certified biodegradable single-use items as possible to mitigate plastic waste. i also use vegan, non-acrylic tattoo ink. of the two non-acrylic brands in my collection, one is organic as well. if you have any questions about the inks or supplies i use feel free to reach out!
