ABOUT THE OWNER

’Sup y’all! I’m Emily, the owner and creator of Hot Honey Ink. I started this shop about 2 years after I opened my graphics shop under the name ESM Designs. I never felt like that name truly fit, so in early 2024, I rebranded as Hot Honey Graphics.

I’m a wife and a mother to two spitfire redheads, my daughter being the inspiration behind the Hot Honey moniker. The juxtaposition between her unrelenting fierceness and her sweet need for affection is what brought us to nickname her our “hot honey child” (as opposed to the common nickname “sour patch kid).


This gig is something I decided to do on the side to keep my hands busy and allow me to use my graphic designs for more than just seamless patterns. I hope you all love what I offer and feel the very coolest wearing these tats!
