The Bestiary: Mythic Animal & Ornamental Tattoos in Frederick, MD
The Bestiary is my ongoing series of original animal and creature tattoo designs with a mythic, ornamental, dark romantic feel. Think crowned predators, relic-like objects, and symbolic compositions designed to feel both fierce and beautifully chosen.
I’m excited to finally share The Bestiary: an ongoing series of original animal and creature tattoo designs in my signature ornamental, mythic inspired style.
This series isn’t just “animal tattoos.” It leans more into creature emblems with designs that feel a little feral, a little regal, and a little relic-like. You’ll see foxes, wolves, owls, ravens, bears, big cats, and other creatures paired with details like weapons, antler crowns, bells, chains, keys, berries, leaves, and love letter type objects. The overall feel is protective, symbolic, romantic, and a little dangerous in the best way.
Some pieces feel wild, dangerous, and watchful. Some feel softer, moodier, or more mysterious. But they all live in the same world: mythic animals designed with strong shape, elegant detail, and a dark feminine / old world kind of atmosphere.
If you’re looking for an experienced female tattoo artist in Frederick, MD and you’re drawn to animal tattoos, ornamental tattoos, mythic imagery, or custom symbolic work, this series was made for you.
I’ll be adding more designs to The Bestiary over time, with available pieces ready to claim.
One important note: if you see a design that’s already been claimed, that doesn’t mean the idea itself is off limits. A specific design may be taken, but the theme behind it is still open for interpretation. So if you loved a fox and dagger, for example, I can absolutely create your own custom version with a different composition, different details, and a design made just for you.
Same goes if you see something that feels close to what you want, but not quite all the way there. If the vibe is right but you want your own spin on it, that’s exactly what custom requests are for.
So if something in the series catches your eye, even if it’s sold or only almost right, feel free to submit a custom tattoo request. I’d love to draw you your own version.
