Lala Kent’s tattoos are mostly small pieces with personal references. The 801 code points to Salt Lake City, where she grew up. Other designs honor family, while a few changed after Kent reconsidered their lettering or placement.
The 801 tattoo: a hometown number in plain sight
Kent wears the numerals 801 on the front of her left shoulder. Bravo describes it as a nod to her hometown. The dark, compact design is easy to see in sleeveless or open-neck outfits and can disappear under a sleeve.
A second photo from the Vanderpump Rules reunion shows the same shoulder tattoo. It is a straightforward choice: three numbers tied to the place where Kent grew up. At this size, a clear font keeps the digits readable without needing extra decoration.
Small script, family tributes and the choices she revisited
Kent’s smaller designs include white-ink Give Them Lala lettering on her right forearm and Heathen on the back of her left arm. She has said her mother used to call her a little heathen. She has also described a Mom tattoo in her mother’s handwriting, a heart around her nipple and an orca on her rib cage.
In 2025, she added Sosa vertically on her right forearm and interlocking L and A initials above the web of her right thumb. Kent called the second tattoo an impulse decision. The Bravo story used an annotated collage, which doesn’t clearly show either design, so it isn’t treated here as a clean photo of the tattoos.
Other family pieces include Lilly, her dog’s name, on the back of her right ankle and DAD inside a heart on the back of her right arm. Bravo also reports a wave for Ocean and a small O for her daughter, added in 2023.
Some of Kent’s lettering has changed. She first put initials from a former relationship on her inner right arm, then covered them with a lion after she disliked their placement. Later, she changed “Rand” on her upper arm to read bRand New after the relationship ended. She has said she thought the Sosa tattoo might be her last, while joking that people can get hooked on the feeling of being tattooed.
The Bravo years and the person fans see on screen
On Vanderpump Rules, the tattoos show up in passing, as part of ordinary scenes. That steady visibility helps explain why fans recognize them, but it doesn’t say why Kent chose each one. Seen together years later, the designs may look like a planned set; her accounts describe decisions made at different moments, some of them revised.
A glimpse of Brittany Mahomes’s forearm at a Chiefs game drew questions. A close-up she posted in September 2026 clarified what the fine-line tattoo depicts.
The fine-line family tattoo on Brittany’s forearm
In her September 29 Instagram Story, Mahomes said the design shows her children’s side profiles, with Patrick’s initials worked into their names and birthdays. Three small portraits sit beside the script along her forearm. That’s what she has said about the tattoo.
The close-up makes the lettering easier to see than the sideline photos.
How one line keeps the details connected
The profiles give the names and dates a visual counterpart, bringing the family details into one continuous forearm design.
Planning a natural flow
For a similar piece, decide whether the words or portraits should lead, then sketch around that priority. Check the design with the arm relaxed and bent; an artist can adjust spacing so the small details stay clear without crowding one another.
How the idea grew over time
Earlier coverage showed family names and birthdays before the full portrait layout was clear. The September 2026 close-up added that visual context. Public photos don’t establish when each detail was added or whether an earlier version changed.
Brittany’s public life is bigger than football
Mahomes is often photographed on the Chiefs sideline, but her public work also includes fitness entrepreneurship and co-owning the Kansas City Current.
Game-day photos show a different side of the story
The first public glimpse came at a Chiefs game on September 27, 2026. Mahomes posted the close-up two days later. The photo below shows the game-day setting; it isn’t close enough to read the fine script.
Soccer is part of her own story, too
Mahomes played soccer at the University of Texas at Tyler from 2013 to 2016, then spent a year playing professionally in Iceland. That came before her role with the Kansas City Current.
Style and life away from the sideline
The photograph below is from a public appearance away from sports.
How to take inspiration from the look
Take the idea, not the exact picture: decide which people or dates you want to remember, then ask an artist to draw a layout for your chosen spot. Reference photos can help describe a fine-line style, but the finished piece should fit your own body. If you expect to add more later, discuss that before settling the first design.
The meaning is clear without extra explanation
Mahomes has described the family tribute herself. The other photos show her career and public appearances; they don’t add details about what the tattoo means.
The video below is from a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit photo shoot.
Scheana Shay’s right forearm carries the words “It’s All Happening,” a phrase many viewers know from her years on reality TV. In a 2015 interview, she traced the tattoo to Almost Famous and to the period just after her engagement, when, as she put it, everything in her life felt like it was happening at once.
Scheana’s ‘It’s All Happening’ forearm script
Shay said Almost Famous was her favorite film and that she got the tattoo shortly after getting engaged. She called it her favorite among her tattoos at the time.
The close-up shows the script running along her right forearm, where it has room to read as a single line.
A short quote can carry personal meaning when it points to a particular memory. If you’re considering script, bring the exact wording to an artist and look at several lettering options at full size. Fine cursive can look clear in a small photo but crowd together on skin, so check how the line sits on your arm when it’s relaxed and bent.
Placement affects how often a quote is in view. A forearm is easy to see in everyday gestures; a rib or shoulder-blade placement is more private. Ask the artist how the wording and direction will fit the spot rather than tracing a celebrity photo.
Give the words time before making them permanent. If they come from a film or song, check the spelling and punctuation against the source. Then follow the artist’s aftercare instructions and wait until the skin has healed before judging the final look. If something concerns you during healing, contact the artist or a qualified medical professional.
Scheana’s red-carpet style
Her public looks range from casual show-day clothes to fitted gowns for premieres and charity events. Sleek hair and a clean silhouette recur, while the fabric and accessories change with the occasion.
At formal events, the neckline and shape often do most of the work. She has worn both quieter dresses and high-shine looks, so there’s no single red-carpet formula.
Her work on camera has included reality television, music and podcast hosting, and she speaks directly with fans. The photos here come from public settings around that career, including cast events, studio interviews and editorial shoots.
These photos show different event looks, not a complete picture of her style. If you’re dressing for a formal occasion, choose one detail you want to stand out—a neckline, fabric or color—and keep the rest simple.

In this video, Scheana talks about her tattoos and the stories behind them.
Jax Taylor’s arm collection grew through different stages of his life, from relationship names to portraits and family tributes.
The portrait tattoo that became a storyline
The black-and-gray portrait on Taylor’s upper arm has a calavera-like look, with dark shading and decorative details. He revealed it during a Vanderpump Rules reunion and joked that it was a hybrid of Carmen Dickman and Stassi Schroeder.
An arm collection built through changes
Some of Taylor’s early tattoos spelled out names. He got Stassi Schroeder’s name while they were together and said he could cover it if they split; he later did. Carmen Dickman’s name was also covered after that relationship ended. He marked his friendship with Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz with the words “Tom, Tom and I.”
A broader photo shows the layered black-and-gray work on both arms. The studio image gives a closer look at some forearm pieces, though not every detail is clear.
Taylor and Brittany Cartwright got matching arrow tattoos. Bravo reported that he pointed out he hadn’t tattooed her name. He and his sister also chose tribute tattoos from their father’s old letters. Taylor’s reads, “Make good choices love you dad.” The handwriting keeps the message in his father’s own hand.
In January 2025, Taylor added a Detroit Lions logo and “1979,” his birth year, to the inside of his left arm. Behind his right ear, he has his son Cruz’s birth date, April 12, 2021, with an Aries symbol above it. Bravo reported that the sign matches Cruz’s zodiac sign.
Jax in the Bravo spotlight
Vanderpump Rules followed Taylor’s work at SUR and his changing relationships. When tattoos appeared on camera, they became part of those stories too.
These event photos place Taylor in his public Bravo career; they aren’t close views of the tattoos.
Jonathan Van Ness is known for an expressive public style. The tattoo story most often reported about them is personal: a back piece honoring their paternal grandmother, Judy, whom they grew close to while cutting her hair.
Jonathan Van Ness’s back tattoo
In a 2022 interview, Van Ness recalled moving to Phoenix at 19 and growing close to Judy, who had moved there from Illinois. They said they loved cutting her hair and spent quality time together over three years. Judy died when Van Ness was 22, after a long battle with cancer. The same interview describes the back tattoo as a tribute to her and gives its words as “Through kindness comes strength.”
A portrait from a Paper photo session shows script spread across the upper back and shoulder-blade area. It helps establish the placement, but not a letter-by-letter reading of the design.
The reported dedication is specific; the photo adds only a general view of the script. There’s no need to guess at details the image can’t confirm.
Why a family tribute can stay simple
A memorial tattoo doesn’t have to fit a whole relationship into one design. Here, the reported phrase sits alongside a particular memory: Van Ness spending time with Judy while cutting her hair. The inscription is short, but the story around it gives it context.
If you’re planning a tribute of your own, start with the detail you want to keep close. It might be a phrase, a date, or something only your family would recognize. You can let the design hold that memory without making it explain the relationship to everyone who sees it.
A style that stays expressive
Van Ness’s public looks can be bold and change from one appearance to the next. At a South by Southwest event, these photos show pink hair and a vivid blue outfit. They offer a glimpse of their event style, but they aren’t pictures of the tattoo.
Questions worth asking before you book
Begin with the words. Check the exact phrase, spelling, and punctuation, especially if you’re using a line from someone else’s handwriting. Give the artist a clear original rather than a blurry or repeatedly resized screenshot.
Ask to see the lettering at the size it will be tattooed. Fine loops and narrow spaces can close up if they’re crowded, and the artist can adjust spacing or line weight while keeping the style you chose. Try the stencil while standing naturally so you can see how it follows your posture.
Think about visibility and aftercare as well. The upper back can be covered easily, but a spot between the shoulder blades may be harder to see or reach while it heals. Consider clothing and straps that might rub the area, and make a plan for care before the appointment.
Quick answers
What is Jonathan Van Ness’s reported tattoo about? A 2022 profile describes a back tattoo honoring their grandmother Judy and gives the words as “Through kindness comes strength.”
Where is it placed? The tattoo is reported to be on their back. Photos show script across the upper-back and shoulder-blade area.
Can the full design be confirmed from the photos? No. The images show the general placement, but the lettering isn’t clear enough to verify every word from the pictures alone.
What makes the story stand out? The report connects the tattoo to Judy and to the time Van Ness spent with her, including cutting her hair. The inscription is short; the relationship behind it gives it context.
Bunnie XO’s tattoos cover much of her arms, with black-and-gray work alongside smaller pieces tied to faith, music, friends, and family. There isn’t one theme that explains the whole collection. Photos show the placement and style; the stories behind individual tattoos come from what she has chosen to share.
One recent addition is the cursive line “Time cast a spell on you” on her left forearm, from Fleetwood Mac’s “Silver Springs.” It drew attention in 2026 because of its timing, but Bunnie said it wasn’t a breakup message. She and a group of friends chose the same lyric because the song meant something to them together.
A growing sleeve with a mix of styles
Much of Bunnie’s visible ink is on her arms, with work stretching from her shoulders toward her hands. Red-carpet photos show larger shaded pieces beside smaller symbols and linework. The sleeve looks like a collection built up over time, with pieces at different scales and spacing.
Bunnie has talked about long tattoo sessions: one appointment for a leg piece lasted hours, and she jokes that she doesn’t enjoy being tattooed. In a post about a larger session, she described how an artist uses bloodline to map an unfinished design so the placement can be picked up at a later visit. The first sitting may set the outline and flow; later visits add shading.
Personal pieces, shared stories
A few of Bunnie’s best-known tattoos connect to Jelly Roll. A 2018 tattoo-shop vlog showed them getting matching crosses. Bunnie chose her rib cage instead of the face placement Jelly Roll suggested. They also have small matching marks near their ears: “II Die IV” on one side and their initials on the other. Each has a matching rose on the back of a hand.
Jelly Roll’s rose has a small bunny tucked into the petals, a nod to Bunnie’s name. The bunny is part of his tattoo, not hers. He also has “Music Man” across his forehead, while Bunnie has “Married a Music Man” on her leg, a line from Elton John’s “Tiny Dancer.” It’s a shared joke and tribute, but it doesn’t explain the rest of her collection.
Faith, memory, and the way a collection changes
Bunnie has said that many of her crosses reflect her Pentecostal faith. In her memoir, she also described an earlier tattoo session that left her with a serious infection, connecting that period with substance use and risky choices. That’s her account of a difficult time, and it doesn’t need to be turned into a dramatic lesson.
The tattoos she has explained have different stories. The lyric came from a group of friends; the crosses connect to her faith; the matching designs belong to her relationship with Jelly Roll. A photograph can show a tattoo’s size, placement, and style, but not its meaning. Where she hasn’t explained a piece, there’s no need to guess.
If you’re considering similar work, placement and scale affect how it sits on the body. Small lettering can soften over time, so talk through size and spacing with an artist and bring references they can adapt to your proportions.
Amber Luke began getting tattooed at 16. The ink now covers her face, throat, arms and most of her body. She has also had the whites of her eyes tattooed, a procedure she later said left her unable to see for three weeks.
Luke has explained how her collection grew and what the overall change means to her. She hasn’t given a public meaning for every design, so the visible details are easier to describe than to interpret.
Amber Luke’s first tattoos and the start of the timeline
Luke’s first tattoo appointment was when she was 16. In a 2023 interview with 7NEWS, she recalled getting her first three tattoos at that age. An earlier profile said she had three by 18 and chose her first larger piece around then. The accounts differ on the timing, but both place the start in her teens and describe a collection that grew in stages.
In the 2023 interview, she said she hadn’t expected to become so heavily tattooed. She was drawn to the whole studio experience: seeing the stencil, hearing the machines, sitting through the session and feeling proud of the finished piece. She has described the process, as well as the result, as part of what she enjoys.
At 20, she had her throat tattooed and began adding ink to her face. The change made her tattoos much harder to cover in everyday life, and she has described it as part of a personal shift in how she wanted to look.
Mandala, face and throat tattoos
The forehead mandala is one of Luke’s most recognizable designs. She called it a mandala in a 2021 episode of TRANSFORMED. Lettering, small symbols and ornamental shapes sit around it; the throat work continues under her jaw and joins the dense tattoos across her upper chest.
Luke hasn’t publicly explained every mark on her face, so a photograph can show the design but not what each symbol means to her. In her 2023 interview, she said the heavier phase began at 20, when she started on her face and throat. She has also spoken about how the change in her appearance affected how she saw herself. That’s the context she has shared, rather than a separate story for each tattoo.
The blue eye tattoos and the “Blue Eyes White Dragon” name
Luke has described tattooing her eyes blue as a milestone at 22. By 2018, profiles were already noting the vivid result. It also connects with the name she uses publicly, “Blue Eyes White Dragon.”
The procedure had a serious complication. Luke said the artist went too deep and she temporarily lost her sight for three weeks. In a 2019 interview reported by 7NEWS, she described it as feeling like shards of glass rubbing through her eye. She later said she didn’t regret the look, while calling it the most dangerous procedure she’d undergone. Both are part of her account: she likes the result, and the experience was frightening and physically risky. Eye tattooing is different from a skin tattoo, and her experience isn’t a recommendation.
Chest, arms and the move toward near-full coverage
Photos show dense black-and-grey work across Luke’s chest, shoulders, arms and torso. Larger shaded figures sit among geometric and ornamental patterns; smaller motifs and lettering fill spaces across her arms and hands. The collection has come together over many sessions.
Her estimates of the coverage have changed over time. Reports in 2019 put her at more than 200 tattoos. In 2023, she said up to 600 tattoos covered about 99 percent of her body, leaving the soles of her feet and the top of her head untouched for personal reasons. In 2026, she described the coverage as about 98 percent. These are estimates from different years, not a fixed count.
Photos show different sides of her body, and newer work can fill spaces between older pieces. The percentage depends on when it was given and what area a picture shows, so it’s best read as a point-in-time estimate.
What Luke has said her tattoos mean to her
In 7NEWS interviews, Luke has discussed body dysmorphia and wanting to feel happier with what she saw in the mirror. She has described tattooing as part of a wider process of self-discovery and taking ownership of her appearance. That’s her explanation of the overall change; it doesn’t tell us what each separate design means.
In a later interview, she said the look comforts her day to day and that she feels more confident in who she has become. Her official biography also describes the collection as a visual story built piece by piece. Neither statement means every motif marks a particular event.
Luke has also said the look draws criticism and can affect how strangers respond to her. Her tattoos are highly visible, but their personal meaning is hers to explain. It’s more accurate to stick with what she has shared than to guess from the face tattoos or the amount of coverage.
In the 2023 interview, Luke said she planned to fill remaining gaps on her back with black ink. By 2026, she was still discussing further body modifications and described tattooing as a lifelong commitment. The collection is ongoing, so exact counts and coverage estimates belong to the date she gave them.

Tatu Baby’s tattoos cover her neck, chest, hands, arms, stomach and legs. The collection moves between bold outlines, soft shading, script, flowers and colour; there isn’t one motif that ties every piece together.
She is a tattoo artist and has appeared on Ink Master and Cartel Crew. The photographs show the designs from different angles, from a full-body view to details on her hands and neck.
Tatu Baby full-body tattoo layout
The full-body image shows how the work is spread across her upper body and legs. Large pieces share space with smaller lettering and hand designs, and each area has its own subject rather than being forced into a matching sleeve.
The mix of sizes keeps the larger images distinct. If you’re planning several pieces, a full-body reference can help you think about how they sit together from the front and side. You can add work gradually; each new design doesn’t have to fill a gap.
Tatu Baby thigh and lower-body tattoos
The lower-body photos show large designs and lettering across the thighs. That area gives a broad image room to follow the leg instead of being squeezed into a small space.
A design on the thigh changes shape as you sit, stand or walk. Check a stencil with the leg relaxed and bent before settling on its direction. The area is also easier to cover than the neck or hands, so visibility is part of the choice as much as size.
Tatu Baby sugar-skull makeup and stomach tattoos
One photo pairs sugar-skull makeup with the tattoos on Tatu Baby’s stomach. The makeup is temporary; it changes the mood of the image without being part of her permanent ink. Her neck and body tattoos remain visible around it.
The stomach moves with breathing, sitting and changes in weight. Large curved designs can follow the ribs and waist, while small details need enough room to stay clear. The photograph works as a reminder to separate a dramatic styling idea from a tattoo you want to live with every day.
Tatu Baby hand, chest and shoulder tattoos
Close portraits show small details on Tatu Baby’s hands alongside larger work across the chest and shoulders. The hands are always visible in a pose; the broader chest and shoulder pieces give the composition more room.
Hand ink gets more sun, washing and friction than work under clothing, so fine lines can soften sooner. The chest and shoulder allow larger shapes to follow the collarbone or upper arm. Clothing changes what is visible, so consider how a design sits with the shirts you wear most.
Tatu Baby neck lettering and upper-arm tattoos
Lettering on Tatu Baby’s neck sits close to her face and remains noticeable in portraits. The upper-arm tattoos have more room for shading and colour, making a transition from that compact placement to a larger surface.
Neck ink is hard to keep out of close-up photos, even when hair or a collar covers it at other times. On the upper arm, a single flower or portrait can stand on its own or connect to later work. Both placements look different in everyday clothes than they do in a posed image.
How to borrow the look without copying it
The common thread in Tatu Baby’s collection is deliberate placement, not a single symbol. When saving references, note what you like—the colour, outline, shading or way the design follows the body—and bring those details to an artist instead of asking for an exact copy.
Choose someone with experience in the style you want, whether that’s lettering, realism, blackwork or colour. Healed examples can show how their lines and shading settle over time.
The neck and hands stay visible; the thigh and stomach are easier to cover. Pick a placement that suits how much you want the tattoo seen, and leave room for each piece to read clearly.
Hannah Snowdon’s tattoos move between blackwork sleeves, small hand marks, dark chest designs and a larger back piece. The collection uses both dense black areas and open skin, with each design fitted to the part of the body it covers.
Snowdon is a tattoo artist, and she has spoken about her own work, including a cover-up on her back. The photos show different parts of the collection rather than one finished, matching suit.
Hannah Snowdon’s blackwork sleeve shows how her collection starts in the arm
Snowdon’s arm mixes dense blackwork with smaller lines, dots and open spaces. That contrast lets separate tattoos remain visible as the sleeve grows. The pieces are easier to read from a distance; close photos show the changes in texture.
The designs don’t form one continuous picture. They share dark ink and a similar graphic weight, while gaps keep the arm from turning into a single block. The placement matters too: a shape on the outside of the arm reads differently when the arm bends or turns.
The chest and neck tattoos build a dark geometric centre
The neck and chest sit close to the face, so their outlines draw attention. Snowdon’s designs follow the collarbone, sternum and neck instead of sitting apart from the body’s shape. Dark areas are balanced by open skin around the collarbone and shoulder.
Neck tattoos are difficult to hide and show up in most close portraits. The chest allows a broader composition, from the centre of the body toward the shoulders. Taken together, the two placements give the designs a more connected look than either area would have alone.
Hannah Snowdon’s hands and fingers carry tiny high-contrast details
Small marks on Snowdon’s hands and fingers appear as she reaches or gestures. They make a different impression from the larger arm designs because the hand is moving in most photos.
Hand skin is washed, rubbed and flexed often, so fine lines can soften sooner than ink in protected areas. Snowdon’s high-contrast details rely on clear shapes and space around them; they don’t try to reproduce the sleeve at a smaller scale.
Her back piece covers the old horseshoe with a larger design
Snowdon has said she covered an early horseshoe-and-roses tattoo with a larger piece on her back. The new work turns a small older design into part of a broader composition, planned around the ink underneath.
A back piece has room for larger shapes and darker areas than a wrist or forearm. In a cover-up, the artist has to account for the darkest parts of the old tattoo; those areas can become shadow or part of the new subject. The placement also lets the design stay covered by everyday clothes when Snowdon wants it to.
Black ink, dotwork and sacred geometry tie the collection together
Black ink gives much of Snowdon’s work its contrast, while dotwork and finer lines change the texture inside the darker forms. Those shifts let the eye move between a solid patch, a detailed area and bare skin instead of seeing one flat mass.
Geometric and architectural shapes add repetition and balance. They can look sharp or softened with shading, depending on their placement. Across the collection, the line quality and contrast link the pieces without making every tattoo follow the same subject.
Snowdon’s arm, chest, hand and back designs each use the space differently. The collection has a visual thread, but individual pieces keep their own shape and scale. That is what makes the work feel like a group of tattoos rather than one repeated pattern.
Kevin Creekman’s tattoos combine bold blackwork with large shaded images. A seed-of-life pattern sits at his throat, a skull covers his stomach, and a samurai-Oni mask spans his back. Flowers and geometric circles cover his hands; curved black panels run down his legs. Creekman has said that some tattoos carry personal meaning and others are there because he likes the artwork.
Seed of life and blackwork neck tattoo
A pale geometric flower sits at the front of Creekman’s throat, surrounded by thick black shapes and patterned panels that climb the sides of his neck. He told OTSMagazine that tattoo artist Gerhard Wiesbeck began with a seed-of-life pattern at the center and built out the design freehand. Creekman connected the flower and patterns loosely with his spiritual outlook, rather than assigning a separate meaning to every part.
The light center stands out against the dark collar. Smaller repeated shapes fill the panels toward his jaw, so the design changes in scale as it wraps around the neck.
Oversized skull tattoo across the stomach
A shaded skull covers most of Creekman’s abdomen. Pale bone forms stand out against dark eye sockets and nose; curved teeth and mottled textures keep the face from looking flat. Tattoo artist Neon Judas made the piece. In an interview with Tattoo Life, Creekman said the skull’s uneven shapes helped disguise scars from skin-removal surgery.
That practical reason sits alongside the artwork itself: the skull is large enough to read as one image, with changes in texture around the eyes and jaw.
Samurai and Oni mask back tattoo
Creekman has described his back piece as a blend of a samurai mask and an Oni mask, tattooed by Olli Lonien. Narrow eyes, a long nose and a wide grin give the face its expression. Curved shapes above the eyes create an armored feel, while dark shading around the mouth makes the teeth stand out.
The mask spreads across his shoulders and down toward the waist. Lines and cloudlike forms extend into the shoulder areas, linking the back piece to the surrounding ink without covering it in one solid field.
Flower and geometric tattoos on the hands
Flowers with dark outlines sit on the backs of Creekman’s hands, each with a small circle of overlapping lines at its center. The lighter petals contrast with the shaded sleeves behind them. He has singled out Mike Wolf’s hand tattoo as one of his most distinctive pieces.
The circles echo the geometry at his throat, though the hand designs stay contained between wrist and knuckles. Creekman hasn’t given a public meaning for every detail, and the repeated shapes don’t need to be treated as a code.
Bold blackwork leg tattoos and open-skin patterns
Broad black panels sweep down Creekman’s leg, separated by pale curved channels. In the same photo, the other leg shows more illustrative detail. He told OTSMagazine that having his neck and legs tattooed in blackwork helped him fall for the style.
The open lines bend around his knee and continue down the leg, giving the pattern direction while leaving the large black areas distinct. Together with the collar and hand designs, the leg shows how much of Creekman’s collection relies on the contrast between heavy fill and exposed skin.
Creekman discusses his life and work in this conversation with Sippin’ The Tea.
