Just your local watercolor witch nestled in the heart of midcoast Maine! I have been a licensed tattoo artist since 2015 and am constantly striving to improve upon my artistic skills and stylistic direction. I enjoy depicting the natural beauty of the animal kingdom and botanical world in abstracted, illustrative, and colorful ways. I am also a huge nerd! And absolutely love doing silly little fun tattoos and bringing my style to videogame/comic/sci-fi subject matter. I have a particular soft spot for birds of all types and of course this means dinosaurs too! Coming from a painting and illustration background – I specialize predominantly in watercolor and painterly tattoos as well as illustrative and geometric. Over the years I have acquired a deep respect and appreciation for tattooing as an art form, the artists themselves, and those who choose to adorn their bodies with the permanence and sacred nature of ink. @siobhan.gildea https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5963d455893fc02db1b9c1b0/1592943695540-2L8KE6H9X8LXK2R56SEV/Untitled-Artwork.jpg Birds & Bones - A F T E R C A R E Look at you, with that stunning new tattoo! I promise, the hardest part is behind you, but the next step to making sure your new art stays looking fresh is on you (and it’s super easy). o Second Skin bandage: With this bandage, you can leave it on for 3-6 days (but if it’s driving you nuts, you can remove it sooner; just refer to the aftercare section with Aquaphor below). It’s so low-maintenance you won’t even have to think about your tattoo. Keep in mind, your tattoo is gonna be seepy and weepy, so all that shmegy goodness will make a home under your bandage. IT WILL LOOK HONESTLY NASTY, but trust that nothing dreadful is occurring. To remove, we recommend doing so SLOWLY and under running water. Once you get it gone, wash wash wash that baby twice a day with antibacterial soap and moisturize with an all-natural/unscented lotion. Repeat process every day for 10-14 days. See below section for more on that. o Non-adhesive bandage: Leave this bandage on for no more than three hours. First and foremost is making sure your tattoo is clean while healing, and for this we recommend using antibacterial soap and some warm water; give it a good bath once in the morning (or whenever you get up, I’m not a “morning person” either) and once at night. This might sting a little early on in the healing process, but after the first few days should settle right down. After each wash you’re going to want to moisturize - because honey, she thirsty - so grab that Aquaphor and apply a light coating. If your skin is looking super shiny, you’ve probably used too much, but you can just dab off any excess with a paper towel. After about 4 days of Aquaphor you can go ahead and switch to an an all-natural/unscented lotion. An additional part of keeping your new tattoo clean is making sure pets, dirt, public pools, gym equipment, your Aunt Joni or even your own hands don’t get all up in your tattoo’s business. With fur babies at home, I know that pet part is tricky, they always want to rub on you! Just give Mittens and Spot some treats and they’ll forgive you in time. An extra measure of caution: Getting that good vitamin D is healthy, no arguments there, but make sure that you don’t have any sun damaged skin prior to getting a tattoo, and activate vampire-mode for 2 weeks after your tattoo appointment (no sun)! It may seem unbearable, but in the long run it’ll keep your tattoo looking fresh. Below Section – You will start to notice that your tattoo is peeling and flaking, and I regret to inform you that this does not signal your metamorphosis into a human-reptilian hybrid, but is in fact a totally normal part of the healing process. It is imperative to keep the skin moisturized, and by this point you can switch to an unscented or all-natural option; I suggest Lubriderm (not a paid endorsement). The tattoo will most likely get a little itchy at times while healing, and that want to scratch paired with the urge to peel the flakies MUST BE RESISTED. Your artist worked hard stabbing all that gorgeous color into your dermis, so unless you desire a big ol’ touch-up, hands off until that peel is all done (you can luxuriate in touching your tattoo after a couple of weeks). That’s pretty much it, but if you do have any questions regarding your healing, please feel free to email me at birdsandbonesstudio@gmail - because your experience doesn’t have to end when you walk out the door; keep me in the loop! https://www.birdsandbones.com/welcome-pacific daily 0.75 2025-06-10 https://www.birdsandbones.com/gallery-pacific daily 0.75 2025-06-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52e968b5e4b04d2aa2a3bba3/1398452168469-SGMB9D1ZFBMYGBWN3TVS/10748178545_3e1e4056b9_k.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52e968b5e4b04d2aa2a3bba3/1398452168469-SGMB9D1ZFBMYGBWN3TVS/10748178545_3e1e4056b9_k.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52e968b5e4b04d2aa2a3bba3/1398357522221-U2405NMOCB0GZ5UBCXEZ/10748270326_e94eeb2435_k.jpg Gallery https://www.birdsandbones.com/menu-pacific daily 0.75 2025-06-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52e968b5e4b04d2aa2a3bba3/1398459720541-KTCAK36XAM20CZ4DM2GJ/pacific-dark.png Menu https://www.birdsandbones.com/restaurant-pacific daily 0.75 2025-06-10 https://www.birdsandbones.com/drinks-pacific daily 0.75 2025-06-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52e968b5e4b04d2aa2a3bba3/1398439142587-AX2YKYS36MP95WP0SY5W/12324630754_04f0a12dfc_mod.jpg Drinks https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52e968b5e4b04d2aa2a3bba3/1398459783779-20EWJ7OJZABR02PDR6ZT/cascade-logo.png Drinks https://www.birdsandbones.com/readme-pacific daily 0.75 2025-06-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52e968b5e4b04d2aa2a3bba3/1402598338400-QOGDYV5D9CVV4PMKIQ9G/9226176954_72f0596f27_k.jpg Readme https://www.birdsandbones.com/reservations-pacific daily 0.75 2025-06-10 https://www.birdsandbones.com/home-pacific daily 0.75 2025-06-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52e968b5e4b04d2aa2a3bba3/1461090543349-47OGE0IEY8C8J7V6TXO4/10748497143_97fb288b86_k.jpg Home
