Creature tattoos in Knoxville

Creatures make up a big share of Julie’s work, in fine line, black and grey, and with small red accents.

Butterflies and moths

These are Julie’s most requested creatures, so each has its own page and gallery.

• Butterfly tattoos: ornamental wings, cyber-sigilism butterflies, half-floral designs, Tennessee’s zebra swallowtail and birth month flash.
• Moth tattoos: ornamental moths with jewels, death’s-head moths, luna moths, and moths with moons, flames and daggers.

Snakes and dragons

• Snake tattoos: fine-line, color and heart-pattern snakes, snakes with lilies and daggers, and East Tennessee copperheads and rattlesnakes.
• Dragon tattoos: skeleton and fine-line dragons, and how Western dragons, wyverns and Eastern dragons differ.

Sea life and birds

• Sea life tattoos: jellyfish, sharks, manta rays, sea turtles, seahorses, koi and betta fish, and full leg sleeves.
• Bird tattoos: swallows, hummingbirds, eagles, a phoenix and Tennessee’s mockingbird.

More animal pages

• Pet tattoos: cat and dog portraits, paw prints and memorial pieces.
• Skull tattoos: deer skulls, a two-headed calf, and skulls with roses and swords.

Bugs and wild animals

The rest of the gallery below: dragonflies, bumblebees, beetles, spiders, scorpions, wolves and big cats.

Building a sleeve

Creatures work well as a theme sleeve, like a sea life leg sleeve, with pieces added over several sessions. Julie can plan the layout up front so each new piece fits.
