Award winning tattoo artist battling a dominant shoulder disability, still kickin' refusing to give up
Tattoos and Illustrations by Emily "Killvers" Chilvers
im a professional tattoo artist from West Michigan--- i can make art out of anything! I just go with the flow and create as my heart desires <3
I am 5'3 and have been tattooing for 10 years now, but i have been drawing and painting everywhere since i can remember - with that comes horrible posture for consecutive hours, pulsating / numbing pain through my arms / hands / neck, and the vibration and weight of a coil tattoo machine wore down my left arm. I recently switched to the Spektra Flux by FK Irons and it has helped me get back to tattooing 3 hours a day but I have a ways to go healing wise. These days its now the entire left side of my body affected by this undiagnosed pain - up into my face and eye as well. Even when I am just drawing and trying to relax. I am honestly terrified, and dont want to have to retire from tattooing at an early age.... because I love what I do and am able to create for you! Unfortunately if this goes on, I will choose being able to still draw and create over my career as a professional tattoo artist. I dont want to have to make that decision.
I’m here now to create for yall and be able to give back in ways that isnt limited to only the tattoo experience. I started livestreaming both Animal Crossing and Art, and exclusively on Patreon ill be posting behind the scenes content of all the art related stuff i do. Time Lapse Creation videos, technique instructional videos, live draw hang out sessions; or whatever else we can think up ????????
A bit more about me:
I am obsesssssed with Pokemon (I collect plushies!), Animal Crossing, video games, DnD and other "nerd" stuff. Im married to the ginger love of my life, Mitchell, and we have a void named Fats McMeow, a feisty old chihuahua named Bella, and two bunnies - Lester and Charles IV.
