Little cardinal from this week. Got greeted by the cardinal in my yard first thing this morning. My grandpa shows up for me as a cardinal, grandma as a bluejay. Do your people show up as birds? Butterflies? Dragonflies? What signs do you get from the universe to reassure you?

I had so much fun getting to see @deanna_art and learn her technique and process from her painting background. What and honor to be with all these talented folks who have a hunger to learn and grow. I found out yesterday there were 150 applicants, which make it that much more special that I was invited to the table. Thanks @deanna_art and @eden.e.d.u @edenbodyartstudios for hosting, it was unforgettable! #learningtotattoobetter #learnart

Summer goal was to add as much whimsy to the garden as possible. This little fairy house is the newest addition. When I built this garden 2 years ago I told my daughter we were building a berry garden; she said “A fairy garden?” Then I told @faetattoos she asked the same. So the berry fairy (hugelmound) garden was born. Raspberry pickin season is here. Very excited to see it producing! Yes this path is as satisfying as it looks. #suburbangarden #gardener #berrieseason #fairygarden #fairyberrygarden

My Story

I Am A Tattoo Artist On A Mission To Make People Feel Loved And Accepted

As a tattoo artist, my mission goes beyond creating beautiful art—it’s about making people feel loved and accepted. I believe every tattoo tells a unique story, and I take pride in helping clients express their individuality and personal journeys through my work.

Each session is an opportunity to connect with clients, understand their stories, and translate their emotions and experiences into meaningful designs. My goal is to ensure that every person who walks into my studio leaves feeling more confident and cherished. Your happiness and satisfaction are at the heart of everything I do. Together, we can create a piece of art that not only looks amazing, but also makes you feel truly special.

i went here recently and its so nice! everyone is so kind and welcoming. it was my first tattoo and she took it nice and slow and helped me decide everything. my artist was amanda and she was nice 🙂 she said she liked the dandilion design i wanted and we chatted throughout the appointment. it took about 2 hours and they had complementary beverages and snacks for people! i didnt end up needing a break so my friend who came with me would grab a soda or fruit snacks for me. at the end i got to roll a dye to win a sticker / somethin small and since it was my first tattoo i got to ring a bell twice and everyone cheered! i do wish they talked the slightest bit more on aftercare but i think its mostly on me for not thinking of the questions at the time / im sure if i reached out they would answer any questions ive had. it healed nicely, they were super clean and very professional 🙂

I am so so sooooo pleased that I happened across Weird Ink Society and Amanda at last year's tattoo convention. I had this weird hip piece that needed so much help. Not only has Amanda brought the piece together but she has made me a follower and customer for as long as she will have me. I feel at home in the shop. Nothing better than quality ink therapy. Be back soon!!

Amanda (LadyPandaInkTatto) absolutely nailed my portrait of my hairless sphynx Winifred Sanderson. I left the details up to her, and she got book behind her and even put Winifred's necklace on her. Couldn't be more perfect. Was waiting to review until I could back to finish our gold frame, but alas the time hasn't come yet. I would 100% recommend Amanda and this shop and will be returning for future work!

Amanda gave me my first tattoo. She nailed it. She listened to what I described, and then created a piece that is streets ahead of what I had in mind. Weird Ink Society’s whole vibe is on point. The camaraderie of the Weird Ink crew is palpable, their attention to infection control is respectable, and the atmosphere, floor to ceiling, made me feel cool by association. Because it was my first tattoo, they offered a bell for me to ring once I’d checked out, and from what I could tell, the whole studio whooped and clapped for me as I exited. Meow’s kiss! Thanks so much!

I had a wonderful experience at this shop! Everyone was very friendly, welcoming, supportive and informative. The shop has an overall positive and chill vibe, and I felt very safe. I worked with Amanda, and she took the time to truly understand exactly what I was looking for. She was flexible, accommodating, and gave me positive and honest feedback about my ideas. I am very grateful to have finally found such an amazing artist, and will definitely be making this my go-to shop from now on! Would highly recommend!
