Trad tattoos for the girls.

pennypokes is my tattoo practice, a space where American traditional tattooing meets a feminine, playful point of view. Based in respect for the classics, my work keeps the bold lines, simple forms, and iconic motifs of traditional tattooing; women, florals, animals; but with a filter of softness, humour, and girlhood. The result is an aesthetic that feels unmistakably traditional, but something for the girls.
Over the years, I’ve developed a growing flash catalogue of 150+ designs, many of which have become recurring favorites—small, expressive pieces designed to be accessible, collectable, and personal.
