Haven’t been very active on here recently - here’s what I’ve been up to!
Hand poked tattoo of a bear, facing to your right with one paw raised. Done in a folksy dotwork style. Hand poked tattoo of a magpie holding a heart in it’s beak. Done in a folksy dotwork style. Tattoo of a badger on the wrist, sat down l, facing your right. Fur has a negative space, spot pattern. Done in a dotwork folksy style. A tattoo inspired by illuminated manuscripts. Down the centre is a stack of woodland animals, from bottom to top - fallow deer stag, wild boar, badger and a fox. Surrounding the creatures are various flora - Foxgloves on the inner thigh, sycamore seeds above, horse chestnut leaves and conkers on the top outer thigh and brambles below. This plants form a frame. Tattooed in a dotwork folksy style.

Whenever I get so much as get a cold, it triggers migraines and severe sensory discomfort - I just don’t relate to the concept of being a little bit sick as it always leads to me feeling very ill. Probably one of the most challenging elements of my AuDHD 👎🏼

New designs. Thinking of making most my available flash repeatable going forward. Wanting to go back to more traditional roots and have a big ol’ book of flash for people to thumb through.
Selection of bold dotwork tattoo designs. Top Left : white floral bunch, top right : bear walking to the right, middle left : grey heron on one leg, middle right : a hound running to the left, bottom left : two small fish, bottom right : a sheep head facing left.

Artists have always loved to sketch!

Sketch of a sparrow from Egypt dated c. 1479–1458 BC.

Some 3,500 years ago in Egypt, artists used flakes of limestone rather than paper sketchpads!

Met Museum photo of an Ancient Egyptian artist’s painting of a swallow on a flake of limestone, dated to the New Kingdom, Dynasty 18, joint reign of Hatshepsut and Thutmose III, c. 1479-1458 BC. The sparrow stands in profile with head to the right. It is delicately painted with a pinkish body with the outline and details painted in a reddish/brown. It’s legs, eye, and beak are painted black. H. 6.6 cm (2 5/8 in.) W. 10.6 cm (4 3/16 in.) This may have been a practice drawing of the sparrow hieroglyph which was used for words meaning ‘small’, ‘poor’, or ‘bad’. The Egyptian artisans who decorated tombs and temples made practice sketches on flakes of limestone which are known by egyptologists as ostraca (singular: ostracon). Sometimes the drawings were used as a template when transferring an image to the wall of a tomb or a temple. Limestone flakes were readily available for this purpose as by-products of the construction of temples and rock-cut tombs. A number of ostraca were recovered at Deir el-Bahri during the 1922-23 MMA excavations.

Booking these throughout Feb. Spend a couple of hours getting cosy and hanging out with us whilst we tattoo you. One of us will line the piece, the other will shade. Each design has been created in collaboration so has a nice blend of both of our styles 👌🏼

Every time I do a hand poke piece I am reminded of how enjoyable it is! Whale & shark above are healed from my apprentice days and shell is another hand poked piece from last year ✨

Tattoo artists of the UK - I have the opportunity to do some conventions for the first time this year. What’s everyone’s favourite tattoo convention and do you have any tips and tricks? I’m quite scared, but also excited!

Adding to this thigh piece tomorrow - Loose woodland theme 🍂🦔 I’m so happy that I have a few large scale projects ongoing at moment. I’m only 3 years into my tattoo journey so these pieces are a big deal to me 🙏🏼

Waiting to hear back from my client on this one - Will be excited to tick red deer off the list. I have a stupid life goal of tattooing every living thing in the British Isles. Impossible I know but that won’t stop me trying. Don’t ask me about insects or molluscs it makes my brain hurt!

Working my way through The Artists Way (3rd attempt 🥲). Today is my day to take myself on an artist date - Thrifting. Found this very cute kids book with lots of animal illustrations. Will be borrowing some of these for tattoos for sure!
