I’m Erika Armstrong, A 25-year tattoo veteran, award-winning custom painter, airbrush realist, and creative concept developer with extensive experience as a cosmetic field technician. As an artist and creative businesswoman, I’ve learned every hard lesson the industry has to offer.

 

My world revolves around five core passions:
Tattooing | Custom Paint & Airbrushing | Creative Concept Development | My 1940 Ford Truck | My Chihuahuas, well just Bell, now as Diego passed in May this year... 

 

I live for colour, paint, artwork, my furbabies, and the pure joy of creation. These are my wholesome creative obsessions.

 

Most days you’ll find me deep in a project with my hands covered in ink or candy paint, completely in the zone and far happier there than anywhere else. I’m a doer, not a talker — an all-rounder who can transform a blank canvas, a piece of skin, or a 1940s fender into something that stops people in their tracks.

 

From Realism and Characture to Chicano, Pet portraiture, and Neo-Traditinal, work — if it can take ink or paint, I’ve spent the last 25 years mastering it.

Pet Farewell Tattoo Digital Design Pack + Remembrance Videos

“14 days after losing my beautiful boy Diego, the house felt unbearably empty. There were almost no photos of him on the walls, and the silence was destroying me. So I created a gentle heaven-themed video loop of our happiest moments. I played it on repeat every night — I counted 71 plays in those first tough weeks just to help me fall asleep. That simple loop became my lifeline.”

 

Because I’ve designed so many memorial tattoos for clients over the years, and because I now carry Diego and his name on my own skin forever, I created the Pet Farewell Tattoo Digital Design Pack + Remembrance Videos.This is a complete, heartfelt digital memorial made with the same care, detail, and artistic quality I bring to every custom tattoo and painting.

 

What’s Included (99 AUD)

• Neo-Traditional Tattoo-Style Portrait of your pet – vibrant, bold, and full of life

• Fine Line Tattoo-Style Portrait – delicate, elegant, and highly detailed

• Two YouTube Remembrance Videos – peaceful 5–15 minute loops (one for bedtime comfort, one for happy memories). I upload them to my channel so you can play them ad-free anytime.

100% custom • 48-hour turnaround

I create every pack with the same love I poured into Diego’s — because I know how much these small things can help when the house feels too quiet and sleep is hard.This is one of the most meaningful services I offer.
