KOI AND SAKURA SLEEVE COMPLETED

I'm very happy to share this sleeve I completed for Megan few weeks ago.

I really like how it turned out. The flow, the composition, the color palette, the contrast.
Possibly my favourite sleeve I've done to this date.

Well done , it was a lot of fun doing this for you.

Autumn and winter are the best times to get tattooed, the healing process is easier, as you're not risking sun exposure.
I still have available dates in November and December, so get in touch if you'd like to get tattooed before Christmas.
I always love to start new large projects, but I'm equally happy to do smaller, one shot pieces as well.
Looking forward to your enquiries.

GEISHA NAMAKUBI

I had so much fun doing this design from my flash for Jacob. These days I'm mainly tattooing large work, so it's been really nice to do a one shot piece for a change.

Thanks a lot Jacob for picking this design. Nice one mate.

I have a lot of available designs in my highlights FLASH. Feel free to have a look and message me if anything catches your eye. I'm always happy to do smaller stuff (along with the large stuff of course)

RED DRAGON BACKPIECE COVERUP

Completed Hazal's dragon backpiece after 3 sessions. 2 full days and one short touch-up session to wrap things up. It's covering the older, smaller dragon done on red outline. She wanted to keep the same subject matter, same colour pallette, just bigger, more detailed and more fitting for the shape of her back.
I think it's a success 😁
Thanks a lot Hazal, you sat like a rock, well done.

FUDO MYO-O BACKPIECE PROGRESS

We're chipping away at Adam Hill backpiece. All of the background shading is done and healed, so we started adding colour. This time we did all of the flames.

I love how the large projects slowly reveal themselves as you progress. I'm super excited to start working on the Fudo's clothing next time.
Watch this space.

Thinking of adorning your back like Adam has?
DM me and let's have a chat about it.
I invite you all for a non obligatory, free of charge consultation.

BLACK AND GREY DRAGON SLEEVE PROGRESS

Tom's sleeve is almost finished. We completed all the backgroubd shading and started shading the dragon.
We have one session left to wrap it all up, finish the dragon and shade the sakura.

It's been great fun working on this full monochromatic pallette. I don't often get to do only black and grey.
It's a great look and I'd love to do more of just black amd grey projects.

Hit me up if this is your jam.

DRAGON AND SPLIT HANNYA SLEEVE COMPLETE

We fivally managed to wrap up Ash's sleeve. Took us a while, but we got there in the end.
I loved his idea with the dragon and split Hannya mask intertwined. Ash wanted it super colourful and vibrant and I think we achieved that. Swipe to see the cheeky frog on the inside forearm too.

Thanks a lot Ash for letting me go wild on your first tattoo. Legend. Hope to see you soon for more mate.

I'm currently taking bookings for the rest of the year.
Get in touch if you'd like to start a large project, we could get one finished before Christmas.

It was great to finally add some colour to Luke's backpiece after a few months break. We're chipping away at it. Getting closer each time. Backpieces reveal itself slowly, it's great to observe that process.

If you're a serious amnd committed collector amd would like to adorn your back in such way, I'd love to hear from you.
Get in touch via DM or email and let's get the ball rolling.

HEALED FOODOG AND HANNYA MASKS

I had a pleasure to tattoo Johnroy again recently, so I was able to grab some healed photos of the two masks we did few months ago.
They both healed perfecty and settled really well into the skin. I love the look of the fully healed tattoos, this is what you expect yours to look like, if you look after them well.

Thanks .hunt for taking great care of them.
