We are born
and raised B.C. girls. Earning our names Mizz. Bitchly and Sweet lil Sinister. Both of us a little rough around the edge. We love to drink, swear, be incredibly inappropriate, get inked and rock the f**k out at concerts. We love spending time together , doesn’t matter what we are doing, from having a cold beer shooting the sh*t together to trying to solve world problems, together we can do anything. Myself (SLS) being the older sister, the “role model” I always wanted the tattooed lifestyle. I started collecting when I was 16. When asked, how many I have”, I always answer “Not a f**king clue”! I never keep count, it’s the memories attached to them I remember!! Everything I love is on my skin, from a portrait of my parents to another portrait of Frankenstein (a “go together” tattoo with my husband) to matching sister skulls on our calves (that we also share with our other sister.) I love them all no favourite. I love sharing my art with anyone who wants to see it enjoy it and appreciate it. Sharing is caring;) As far as myself (Mizz.B) my sister (SLS) has been an inspiration to me and the one who introduced me to the tattooed lifestyle. I remember seeing her first tattoo, a ying yang on her shoulder blade.

I loved it and the idea of tattoos and right there I knew I wanted to be tattooed as well. I was 18 when I got my first one done, a sparrow on my left shoulder blade and as of today I have 13 tattoos and counting. I started a back piece which counts as #14. I have had some negative responses to my tattoos and my choice to be tattooed. But for every tattoo is a little “fuck you” to the people who criticized and put me down for it. I especially love showing my ink off to whoever wants to see it! I’ve never had a problem pulling my pants down or hiking up my dress to show a piece to you! Some of my favourite pieces are the matching skulls on the back of myself and my sister’s calves representing the bond of ink/sisters that can’t be broken. I also have 2 amazing portraits, one of my late mother and the second of my dog Lu (frenchie) but I love them all, always looking forward to my next piece. It’s all about the journey the inks just a souvenir! We wanted to do shoot together, one that captured a love and bond we have. Having a tea party was a great tribute to our childhood. Nothing wrong with a tattooed tea party! Made for a great day another memory and that what life’s about. Make the memories and capture the moment!
