He’s a rocker and a lover of good iconic music and I was stoked to adorn his hand in something so bold and powerful! Thank you for the trust, Aaron! Rock on! 🤘 🪲🎸 @Colleenajsmith

  • So stoked that Travis came to see me at the Regina tattoo expo to share his story and snag an awesome flash design that he’s stoked to wear forever!

  • Another addition for bethwalterrs Thanks Beth for the trust and letting me do all these cool projects ✨ @kaur_daljeett
  • I absolutely loved creating this piece for Shoshanna who had a vision of a snake and a pomegranate descending a cascade of beautiful, blossoming flowers. It’s always such an honour to bring these aspects of myth to life.❤️✨🙏❤️✨
  • Absolutely adored being the one to bring this beloved Badass Doberman to life for Robyn! Graceful and majestic, almost somewhat equine in their stance and grace, they truly are a noble and commanding breed. ✨ @Colleenajsmith
  • A borage flower for Regan. Thanks so much for the trust! @Thistlekae
  • An absolutely exquisite Celtic inspired fawn for the fairy in the flesh. Her friend sketched a dreamy drawing of this deer and I was able to add a few little flairs to recreate its frolic. I’m in love with the wavering, willowy vines in the boughs of its velvet antler branches. Thank you for the trust Alecia! It’s just as beautiful as you are!❤️🙏✨ #stagtattoo #fabletattoo #gaelic #celtictattoo #tattoosyxe #yxe #tattoosbycolleenajsmith #mamatriedtattoosmith #mamatriedyxe @colleenajsmith

  • I had such a fun time designing and executing the perfect blend of Saskatchewan girl/ Dolly style pinup for Devaney! I especially love how she let me give her an adorable little jackelope that she can prance around in a cascade of daisies and black-eyed Susans. Devaney said that a pinup was twenty years in the making and I was so grateful she trusted me to manifest her in to existence! Enjoy your tattoo, Dev, it was such a pleasure!🌸✨🙏❤️ @colleenajsmith
  • A beautiful balancing of the scales with some subtle geographical and whimsical swallows for Jonathan! I really enjoyed the precision work of making the delicate lines contrast the bolder ones which produced a very clean yet intense finish. ❤️🥰🙏✨ @colleenajsmith
  • Mikhayla sat for two straight sessions this beautiful sacred snake tattoo, it accentuates her spine as a beautiful back piece adornment. Beautiful, bold, powerful and poised, the snake embodied the goddess spirit as some of the earth’s oldest wisdom, and I am always so excited when I get to use this amazing symbology within a piece. It was such a pleasure, Mikhayla! Thank you for choosing to collaborate on such a stunning piece! @colleenajsmith
  • Three little fairies for three special friends. Thanks so much for the trust! I love how sweet and delicate these are. @thistlekae )
