Hanan! 🌻

Valentines themed flash drop! I had a lot of fun putting these together. Grab you, your loved one, or a friendling, a fun little tattoo to celebrate love with. Swipe for pricing and skin swatches!

The cuttlefish and nudibranch originally had captions but I like them without :>

A tattoo flash sheet called "Darling Valentines". It includes: a cuttlefish (cuddlefish) with some heart markings and heart bubbles around it. A nudibranch that has a cherry blossom theme. A dagger stabbing a heart. Two pairs of lockets, one with 2 cats, one with 2 worms. A small cherry blossom design. Two worms in a heart shape, with a tiny heart in between them. Two shrimp inside of an outline of a heart.
The same, but with prices!
The same, but with approximations on what they would look like on different skin tones.

@mads The animal that most blew my mind when I found out about it was the sea swallow.

I'm not sure how I'd not heard about these before.

Just look at it!

They float upside-down under the surface of the open ocean, scooting about looking for food. They eat things like Portuguese man o' war and steal the stinging nematocysts to use for their own defense.

And, they're just crazy-levels of elegant.

Dive number: 667
Date / time: Mon Dec 9, 2024 10:15 AM
Dive site: Folly Cove, Massachusetts
Water Temperature: 45F
Bottom Time: 1h4m

Met up with a buddy for a morning dive at Folly. The visibility was great, but we just didn't find a whole heck of a lot. A few rim-backed nudis, some moon snails, some anemones, and not much else.

Subject: Moon Snail. This snail is half buried in sand, but has a pale, colorful, striped shell.
Subject: Northern Lacuna snail. This snail has a dark brown shell with a light bright inner edge giving it a spiral pattern. It is crawling along a piece of kelp, which is coated in white, lacy bryozoans.
Subject: Palio dubia (rim-backed nudibranch). The nudibranch is floating free in the water column and was shot to black out the background.
Subject: Northern Lacuna snails climbing on a piece of kelp. The structure for this image is provided by a dead sugar kelp stalk, which has several snails and some encrusting bryozoans on it and is bright against a black background.

I found this nudibranch (Aeolidia papillosa) on a dive at the UNH Research Pier in New Castle, New Hampshire. They prey on various Cnidaria species like pink hydroids and frilled nudibranches. They are tricky to photograph as they blend into their surroundings, but the snoot really helped to separate this one from its surroundings.

Subject: Shag Rug Nudibranch (Aeolidia Papillosa). A mottled tan and brown nudibranch facing the camera with mouth tendrils out to the side and rhinophores sticking straight up. The numerous protrusions on the back are sticking out in all directions. The nudibranch is moving through some silty seaweed with a darkened background.
