Frogtober #27: Literature What's a great book you've recently read which you'd recommend? 📚👀 #ephinktober2026 #frogtober2026

Back in April we started some gardening work from Flora's back all around the shoulder. Now we closed the circle in the front - go try find the change from healed to fresh on Flora's amazing tattoo skin! ;D Thank you so so much, Flora!!💖💐

I also took the chance to take some healed pics of Flora's older tattoos. The thigh and hip are 7 years healed, the turquoise extension on the side/waist is from 2024, and the snake design on the lower leg from last year. I think Flora's secret must be witchcraft. Or sunscreen. Probably both.

Frogtober #26: Tarot Yeah, low hanging fruit, I know I know... 😅💚 #ephinktober2026 #frogtober2026

Frogtober #25: Heart Bless your heart for following along with my little froggos!🥹🫶 #ephinktober2026 #frogtober2026

Unpopular opinion: (daylight saving) summer time is infinitely superior (for me, where I live), so even though I'll get to sleep an extra hour on Sunday, I'm sad that it comes with the cost of losing an hour of daylight in the evening. My only comfort: it's also the start of persimmon season!!🤩

Frogtober #22: Fairy Tale Maybe if you kiss her you'll turn into a cute little frog and live a comfy little life happily ever after, in some cute little pond untouched by late-stage capitalism?? #ephinktober2026 #frogtober2026

Frogtober #21: Tattoos Strictly speaking, there's only one tattoo, I guess? But I'm sure she has more where you can't see them. #ephinktober2026 #frogtober2026

Frogtober #20: Magic I got to use the sparkly holo watercolors of a friend for the magic clouds in this, I wish a photo could do them justice.🤩✨ (Thank you, Röha!!💖) #ephinktober2026 #frogtober2026

Frogtober #19: Art Nouveau I feel like I could have done much more interesting things with this prompt, but Art Nouveau is not really my daily comfort zone business and I didn't feel like spending hours on drawing art-historically accurate swirlies (sorry). 😬 #ephinktober2026 #frogtober2026

Frogtober #18: Punk Here's an early frog for you to start your Sunday sassy. Punk's not dead! #ephinktober2026 #frogtober2026

Frogtober #16: Fruit This one's dedicated to my lovely sister and her friend, who once dressed up as a cute strawberry.🍓✨ (banana for scale) #ephinktober2026 #frogtober2026

Frogtober #15: Cartoon I'm always confused about the definition of "cartoon" (funny thing in a single picture?) so that's why you get this lazy comic instead (because I don't quite have the time to do something with the other definition and make a whole animation).😅 #ephinktober2026 #frogtober2026

Frogtober #14: Drag My apologies to all the fabulous drag artists out there. I know I could have done much better with the makeup, I'm only an amateur.

Frogtober #12: Bloom Hope you're having as chill of a day as this little fellow.💚✨ #ephinktober2026 #frogtober2026

Frogtober #11: Heavy Metal I wonder what a heavy metalling frog would sound like.🤔 #ephinktober2026 #frogtober2026

Frogtober #10: Pin Up Maybe more of a failed burlesque act than a pin up? 😅✨ #ephinktober2026 #frogtober2026

Kila and I are away on family business!🇦🇹 I'll try my best to keep the frogs coming and I got my laptop with me, but please cut me some slack regarding email response times etc. Thankiiies!!!💖

Frogtober #08: Sparkles I don't need a prince. If I kissed a frog I'd want him to turn into a magical girl. #ephinktober2026 #frogtober2026

Frogtober #07: Hell That was another reaaaally (lovely but) long day of tattooing. My brain is a smoothie and my hands... we don't talk about them. But gotta do the daily frog! Hope you enjoy this extra topical one. #ephinktober2026 #frogtober2026

Frogtober #02: Groovy. What... does that even mean?? A quick internet search says it's something about hippies I guess? Anyway, if that frog isn't groovy I (literally) don't know what is. #ephinktober2026 #frogtober2026

Ich frag ja nie.... nach Geld. Zumindest seit dem letzten Crowdfunding vor 12 Jahren nicht. Aber jetzt ist eine "rote Linie" überschritten und die Kredite machen mehr Bauchschmerzen. Ich brauche und bitte um Eure Hilfe! Teilt das auch gern weiter, Ich habe gute Argumente: gofund.me/0ab82765c

Debating if I should do some sort of inktober this year. I was considering doing Peachtober again, but I don't know if I'm really feeling the prompts. Any good lists going around?🥸

Thank you so much for adopting my Agent of Chaos Flash!! We shortened the tail a little bit to make it look more like Danielle's personal Chaos Cat Stubbs.

Also, in an altruistic bout to further Science, Danielle found out it's not a great idea to go near molten glass while wearing second skin, because that fucker will shrivel and shrink off your skin before you know it (see last pic). For the love of Glob, please don't try this at home, kids!! 🥲🙈

1/2 I had a wannado of a dog having a watercolor dream. Jonas asked me if it was possible to swap the dog for his very own grande dame. Well, I'm not one to say no to a bunch of dog reference photos (to ensure anatomical accuracy and realism regarding her trademark sleeping poses, of course).🥹

2/2 While we were at it, we also took a nice healed shot of the robin on Jonas' shoulder (~1.5 yrs healed). Thank you so much, Jonas! Hope Holly got some extra treats for her hard work as a tattoo (design) model.🫶

One of those days where I got home after 1am bc we were on a one-session-only mission, and... we did it!! Thank you for trusting me with this heartfelt project! And for powering through this marathon of madness. Hope you got a good night's sleep and that these two buddies will bring you much joy! 💖

I'm super tired already bc I barely slept last night, but I washed my bedsheets today and still haven't put on new ones and I really don't want to (such a hassle), so I can't go to bed yet, but so tired, oh no, problems, I hate it when that happens (every time).

I think we can agree that Cijara wins the Badass Award for picking this spot for my pyromaniac flash seagull. We made some adaptions/additions to make it a proper fitting gap filler. Also, I learnt the word "popliteal space" which might not be the greatest spot for a tattoo but a pretty great word.

1/2 I think this may be my first compass tattoo? How did I navigate this industry without any compasses for so long? (Sorry if I tattooed a compass on you and forgot about it.) Obviously only half done. Can't wait to add the rainbowy swoosh that will connect it to the tribal on the upper arm!

2/2 Also, Alex got me the greatest gift of hand-knit socks!!! And I think they match the tattoo colors pretty nicely? :D

I just found "What's Between Your Legs?" from Patrick Krawczyk (and @moomcomics.bsky.social) and it sounds and looks so good?? Apart from the actual content, obviously, the hand-painted vibe makes it so extra unique (especially in times of AI sloppification)! www.kickstarter.com/projects/moo...
