FULL LEG SLEEVE COMPLETED

I realised I never posted the still photos of Adam's leg that we completed end of last year.

One of my favourite projects for sure. It's been great working on it. I love the theme, the ontrast, the flow.

We've started working on Adam's backpiece since, and we're making great progress.

If this looks like something you've been thinking of having, I'd love to hear from you.
We can arrange non obligatory, free of charge consultation to discuss your idea.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

HANNYA AND DRAGON SLEEVE DETAIL

We didn't completely finished Ash's sleeve last time, but I'd like to share the bottom part.
I'm chuffed with how it turned out, we went for really colourful pallette here.
We have one session left to finish the colouring on top of the arm. I can't wait to complete this project and share it with you. Keep your eyes peeled.

Thanks as always Ash, I'm looking forward to see you again mate.

I'd like to do more sleeves, I will never get enough of them. Hit me up if you're up for it. I have loads of great, to suit every arm, colour or black and grey, I do them all.

I'm very happy with how Kyle's other sleeve turned out. We kept the water theme to match his other sleeve. I love the colour pallette here. Really vibrant, bold and will stand the test of time.

FUDO BACKPIECE BACKGROUND SHADING

We've been making great progress with Adam's Fudo Myoo backpiece. It's now been framed all the way down to the hips. Next step would be to add the rock he's sitting on. Once this is done we'll start colouring.

Thanks for always sitting strong

Contact me if you'd like to start your backpiece journey. It's tough, but so worth it in the end.

JACOB'S BODYSUIT

I started working with Jacob over 4 years ago, he first got the snake on the left arm, then we did the dragon on the other side to match. After a while we added a Hannya on his front, and then started talking about wrapping it all with background and making it a one flowing piece. Tiger and a koi followed to extend the sleeves.

I really loved working on this project, thanks so much .02 for trusting me with it and for taking those long, painful sessions like an absolute legend. I'm grateful to everyone who allows me to transform their bodies in such significant way.

If large scale japanese style tattooing is something you're considering adorning your body with, then look no further. I'd love to hear from you.
Send a DM and let's create something for you.
