I won't bite. I will stab you with needles, but I do it with some degree of finesse.

Some more bird flash - I have space next Wednesday & the Wednesday after, and in the afternoon on Saturday 3rd January. Or I can put you on a waiting list, should have more dates early in the new year.

I'm actually doing some drawing at the moment - the style is ADHD personified. I'm using pen and ink. Here's some available flash and some available dates! I'm working on more too.

Hi! I couldn't do anything resembling work for 3 months because of shoulder pain. Then a bunch of other things happened. But, I have done a test run at the new location for my old studio (!), and they should have space for me fairly regularly on Wednesdays, and occasionally on Saturdays.

Ok, long hair I can put back in a ponytail with shaved sides is working, because I can sweep it back & be futch, or put it down & pretend to be normal. I want to grow it longer and have queer milf hair ykwim. It also means I can have a really clean feeling haircut but still have long hair as well.

I just logged in after a while, here are a few recent pictures - I'm winding down as the tattoo studio closes next week so I'll be without a base while I figure out where to go next - really happy with some of the work I've been lucky enough to do over the last few months though

Baby beavers are the cutest things to ever exist + I dressed as a human today. Didn't actually mean for my hair to be this pink but here we are.

Someone has asked for a small tattoo of a blackbird in an ink drawing style I used to work in, so i did some brief sketchss - it's been a long time since I've drawn anything, this is the first time I used a pen I bought months ago. I find studies draining but I do like the results looking back.

Finished this portrait tattoo of Elim Garak from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine today. Delighted to get to do this. Utilising graphic elements from Michael Okuda's LCARS / Cardassian computer interface design.

Woooo its starting to look like my design! Client works outdoors so all the colours need another punch up. Most of the greens on the right are fresh.

Lovely shots by Fish Out Of Water Media. My body is extremely averse to being moved around but the crash test brummies are really lovely and I'm enjoying myself.

HP cover up tattoo! Bye JKR! This was really challenging to design & positively panic attack inducing to tattoo, but still an absolute pleasure. We will see how it settles in, I want to balance not making the shading too dark with concealing the old tattoo.

Didn't get a good photo this time, but added the flower on the right and adjusted the daffodil a bit. Slow going as my inks kept getting dry in the heat. My client is a gardener, he's good at taking care of the tattoo but is still out in the sun a lot! I like the idea of him being covered in flowers

We didn't manage to finish Garak yesterday but he's looking good! Needs a little bit of cheekiness with the sinister.

Always exciting getting new bottles of colour. The strawberry looks great, and this is my 2nd bottle of Bombay. It's surprisingly useful, the slight lilac tones can neutralise yellow in the skin a bit and it works well for interesting highlights in various situations
