WHEW!! A lot has happened in the last month or so, and I'm stoked to announce that I have made my way back home to Southeastern Iowa.. Big news here!!

I am now tattooing at O'Tool Design Custom Tattoo in downtown Davenport, IA. If you'd like to set up an appointment at the shop, give me a call at 563-322-1810. I am REALLY excited to be here, I love the shop and the family. Feel free to stop by just to say hi, I miss my old and new friends!

ATTENTION DES MOINES CLIENTS!! I have been finishing pieces up in Ankeny @ BLVD Ink by appointment as I travel back occasionally. Please message me if you need something finished and I have not contacted you already.

I've finally had a chance to update both my Portfolio and Time Capsule. There are over 60 new photos! Check them out to see what I've been up to and what I've been creating. Love your life!! <3 Rabbit

It's certainly been crazy since I last updated here on my website. My apologies for neglecting RabbitAbby.com during the downtime, but a lot has been happening behind the scenes for me and I've been busy knocking out some sweet work!!

I'm just returning from Kari Barba's Outer Limits Tattoo in Long Beach, California for two weeks. It the opportunity and invite of a lifetime! I remember studying and admiring the work of Kari and the OL crew as I was just falling in love with tattooing at 15. It was definitely an experience!! Thank you so much to everyone there for making me feel like family during my time there. Check out all the pictures from the trip in my Time Capsule as I update it.

I'm currently working on returning all emails, messages from the website, and messages left for me at the shop. I appreciate everyone's patience as I tend to do all of my communicating in the downtime between appointments so that I can get more actual tattooing done during my workday.

As well, I'm working out travel dates again since I know many of you (especially in Wisconsin) are waiting for me to return soon. I have not been able to travel as easily after totaling my car that I usually road-trip in, so bear with me as I work on finding a replacement. I can't wait to get back up there and see everybody and do so more werk!

Check back in the next week or so for more updates to the time capsule and portfolio! Feel free to leave some love or stop down in the shop and see me.. autumn is coming and so is change. <3 Rabbit

Looking forward to an awesome trip this weekend to Cedar Falls, IA to tattoo at Body Ritual from July 8th to July 10th. While I am fully booked for the days that I will be there, I'd love to see anyone that wants to stop in an say hello! That includes you Projekt German kids :3

It's been a little bit since my last updated, and a lot has gotten accomplished, many pieces have been finished, and much has happened. I'm back to Des Moines from a trip to Appleton, WI and visiting the Quad Cities to pay respect and take time to remember Duston Wainwright, a very amazing person who passed away unexpectedly on June 11th.

I had the honor of doing a few memorial tattoos for him on some of his closest friends; a turbocharger much like the one he had tattooed. It's something I think he truly would have appreciated and dug. He always pushed me in my artistic efforts, whether it be wanting to see the end result of a tattoo, or the conceptualization of the beginning sketch, and will continue to inspire me to do my best; He will never be forgotten. My heart is always out to the people that loved him so.

I have a few changes to my travel schedule in July, as well as new dates to announce-- catch me in California for a couple weeks!! Here is the current travel itinerary for July and August:

-July 8th through July 10th @ Body Ritual // Cedar Falls, IA
-July 26th through July 31st @ The Body Shop // Appleton, WI
-Aug 10th through Aug 24th @ Outer Limits // Long Beach, CA

My schedule is finally starting to open up again as I finish a few large pieces in the Des Moines area. If you're wanting to get tattooed or start something gnarly, I have openings as soon as the first week of July. I also have updated my Tattoowerk and Time Capsule sections in the Portfolio. All emails and messages have also been returned. <3 Rabbit

Heyah everybody! It's been a busy last couple weeks. I had an awesome time tattooing in Appleton, WI (even with
the second tornado threat on the last sunday again!), got to work on some super rad pieces, and see old friends!
Worked on a few awesome clients (old and new) while back in Des Moines. Check out pictures of all the work and
adventures I've been up to at my Time Capsule.
