find your wings.
Find Your Wings is a collection of ethically sourced, framed insect specimens you can purchase and have tattooed by Temple Adorned in Austin, Texas.
in collaboration with Bees & Wings, the studio has an ever growing & lovely collection of specimens available to be admired, purchased & tattooed. if you choose to get one tattooed - you also get to keep the framed specimen, too.
purchase of the specimen covers your deposit for the session & the framed specimen, final tattoo price depends on size, placement, and colour detail. these are meant to be realism studies and so, require time.
