Tattoo Inspired Candles at Punk House

by

Pink Bow Skull CandleJessica Briese started My Punk House in 2006 customizing common things such as candles, cutting boards and mirrors. Her unique punk artwork inspired by tattoos combines girly with punk/biker style.

Shown here is the girly skull candle. I think it is great and so does my youngest daughter but my older one says it reminds her of the Adams Family.

To see some more of Jessica’s candle designs such as flaming cherry, lucks ran out, Vegas baby and rose n blade, check out the custom candle section at My Punk House.

She has some serious talent and if you wanted to decorate with more than just candles there are many other unique items that may appeal to you. There are also hand painted tissue box covers, letter holders, barrettes, purses, hangers and hooks.

Jessica also does awesome custom jobs and you can check out some of the previous art done at My Punk House such as a custom Harley-Davidson candle and helmet with skulls and flowers.
