Octavia Vaughan and Jen Kelso
Some of you, already know me for my temporary tattoos over on etsy, I currently have a new shop called "Pretty In Ink Tattoo" along with my other shop "Octavias Tattoo"
My temporary tattoos happened by accident while traveling and selling at craft fairs in New Zealand. I soon realized you guys loved them so much, that they became my main stream of income, while traveling and living in different countries. This has help lead me to tattooing today. So whether you looking for a temporary tattoo or the real thing please take some time to browse through my site and get a feel for my style of art. Everything here is created by myself especially for you. I pride myself on "Great Quality Personal Custom Art and Service" its about experience and knowing you are dealing with a real person.
Early Years Originally from Herefordshire in the UK. My Mum was an artist so as soon as I was old enough to hold a pencil I scribbled, painted, made mud pies, baked and generally got dirty and messy, a lot of fun was had.
My passion is color in my work I use acrylic in layers to build up the intense colors. I create my art with mediums ranging from iPad Pro, to pencil sketching and acrylic paint.
In 2018 my husband and I decided to downsize, and we now live in an RV. Eventually we want to tour and see more of the US. We want to do more of what really matters to us and that is traveling, connecting with people, creative pursuits and simple happiness. We have been traveling the world since October 2006 and now we live in Silicon Valley. So today I work from our land yacht.
Today we can all do anything we wish if we put our minds to it. We have the internet where we meet, make friends and work with each other. Also we have the means to live how we want in order to fulfill our dreams. For me downsizing has allowed me to live simply with less clutter and more clarity to pursue my dreams of travel and creating meaningful art or fun art to fill my soul. There is not a lot in this life that is truly ours except for our experience in life and we have to relish it more.

Motorbike Passion and Custom Painting the Early Years.
