🎃👻 HALLOWEEN AT MAINLINE 👻🎃

🧙‍♀️ THE WITCHES ARE OUT… AND THEY'RE MAKING TATTOO APPOINTMENTS! 😂

You know Halloween is getting serious when…

🎃 Your pumpkin has more tattoos than you do.

💀 You start calling your next tattoo a “Halloween necessity.”

👻 Your bank account says NO, but your brain says “just one more.”

🕷️ You see a spooky tattoo design and suddenly need it.

🧛‍♂️ And you start planning next Halloween's tattoo before this one has even arrived! 😂

Let's be honest…

THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS TOO MANY TATTOOS… RIGHT? 👀

👇 TAG THE FRIEND WHO ALWAYS SAYS “I'M NOT GETTING ANOTHER TATTOO”… THEN BOOKS ANOTHER ONE TWO WEEKS LATER! 😂🖤

🎃 Happy Halloween from everyone at Mainline Tattoo!

🎃 OCTOBER ARTIST SPOTLIGHT — EMILY HARRISON 🎃

It’s time to shine the spotlight on Emily, our apprentice, and get to know a little more about the artist behind the ink! 🖤

We asked Emily some new questions for October… and her answers definitely didn’t disappoint! 😂👇

🦖 1. IF YOU COULD TATTOO ANY FICTIONAL CHARACTER, WHO WOULD YOU CHOOSE?

Barney the Dinosaur. 😂💜

We honestly weren't expecting that one!

🎨 2. WHAT TATTOO WOULD YOU LOVE THE CHANCE TO CREATE?

Emily would love to create a traditional piece mixed with realism.
A combination of bold traditional elements with the detail and depth of realism? 👀🔥

We'd definitely like to see that!

🖤 3. WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE PART OF DOING A TATTOO?

For Emily, it's all about seeing the final product.
There's something pretty special about watching an idea go from the initial concept to a finished piece of artwork. 🖤

👀 4. WHAT'S ONE TATTOO IDEA YOU'VE NEVER DONE BUT WOULD LOVE SOMEONE TO ASK FOR?

A Furby.

Yep… you read that right. 😂

And now we're wondering what a Mainline-style Furby tattoo would actually look like! 👀

🤓 5. IF YOU HAD TO DESCRIBE YOUR TATTOOING STYLE IN ONE WORD?

NERDY.

And honestly, we think that sums Emily up pretty perfectly! 😂🖤

🎃 BONUS HALLOWEEN QUESTION

If Emily could design one completely crazy Halloween tattoo…

🖤 She'd love to mix CUTE with HORROR! 🩸🎀

And we're very much here for that combination! 👻

🦖 AND FINALLY… THE IMPORTANT QUESTION!

If Emily could steal the opportunity to tattoo something from another Mainline artist, who would it be?

Kurt's traditional dinosaur! 😂🔥

Sorry Kurt… apparently you've got competition! 🦖🤣

Keep an eye on Emily's journey as she continues developing her style, learning new techniques and building her portfolio here at Mainline Tattoo.

👇 What would you choose — cute horror or full-on spooky?

🖤 FRESH vs HEALED 🖤

FRESH INK ➡️ HEALED INK

One tattoo… two very different stages! 👀🖤

Here’s a closer look at this owl and mountain piece by Kurt (Smudge Ink).
The first photo shows the tattoo fresh, with all the detail and contrast straight after the session.

Then look at it healed… 👀🔥

Once the redness and initial irritation have settled, you can really appreciate how all those little details come together.

🦉 The feather detail
🏔️ The mountain landscape
🌲 The tiny trees
👁️ And those eyes!

This is why healed photos matter — a tattoo isn't finished when you leave the studio. Watching it settle into the skin is part of the process.
And we think this one has healed beautifully. 🖤

Would you like to see more healed vs fresh tattoos from the Mainline team?

🖤 3 WORDS FOR JANE (JINKS) 🖤

If Jane had to describe her tattooing in just THREE WORDS…

✨ INTRICATE.
🔍 DETAILED.
🖤 CAPTIVATING.
And honestly… we think she nailed it! 👀🔥
Jane loves getting stuck into the little details that can completely transform a tattoo — whether it's delicate realism, semi-realism or a bigger, bolder piece.
She’s all about creating tattoos that make you stop and look twice. 🖤

So if intricate, detailed and captivating sounds like your kind of tattoo…

👀 Jane might be your artist!
