Photo text: Hard Endings and New beginnings
The past couple of years have been a struggle. An uphill battle on so many fronts.
With the recent loss of my Dad I have come to realise that I need to take a step back and breathe.
I need to take a break.
I am not leaving tattooing. I love my job. Tattooing has been my lifeline in so many moments.
Realising I need to just stop, to just exist with my grief and reset is incredibly hard and scary.
I’ve tried to ignore it, and pretend it’s another tomorrow, another time.
But the reality is it’s now.

My books are closed, and with this the doors to Sirens close too.
I will reopen my books mid September, to book for October.
Things will look a little different then.
Hopefully better.
Thankyou for your support and your understanding.

Psyduck!!!
Psyduck has sat in my flash for a while and I am sooo happy he found a home!! He is sat next to a healed Mimikyu from MTE25, with plans to add more Pokemon to join their gang soon.
Last photo is also healed from last year 🖤

Loved tattooing this little guy for Ebony. He is her childhood bear. She sent me a photo of him asking me to plump him up a little and remove bobbles that he’d gained from all the loving over the years. Even though we made him a little refresh being plumper, we kept his smile and I thought leaving his worn nose was a nice idea (Ebony agreed) as it shows how much he’s been loved and how much he’s loved her too.
I’m a sucker for teddy bears. I still have my teddy, he lives in my bedroom and he gets cuddled by my kids when they’re sick (if I’m sick or sad he helps me too). I’m getting my teddy on my skin soon too. So this was extra sweet to do.
The tattoo is about 3inches high and is a little guy. The only black in this is his smile, eyes, and a tiny bit in shadows. Everything. Else is grey wash and he will lighten up to a lovely grey.

So happy with the print quality for my eyeball flowers print!! The original painting is on the right and the prints on the left! Colour is a slightly darker grey background on the prints as it’s picked up all the brushstrokes, but I’m soo happy with how they look!!
Now to get them onto my website ☺️
A4 and A5 prints will be available. 🖤

It was such a great day yesterday Herne Bay Pride , we had so much fun on the stall in the pride village, and tattooing from 2pm. I got to see so many of you and what a treat to see your healed tattoos in the beautiful sun!

Libby also did absolutely amazing on her first flash day! She tattooed three people and was phenomenal manning the stall when I wandered with the kids and when I had to drive and get our table while still setting up! 🤣🙃

Thankyou to everyone who came along chatted with us, bought a print, got a tattoo and all who made Herne Bay pride the amazing day it was and always is!

Thanks to the Herne Bay Pride team for your amazing work!

Really enjoyed yesterday! Added Tommy, Chuckie and Reptar from Rugrats to this awesome 90s cartoon leg sleeve on my client Sam.
Also got to see so many healed pieces from over the last 5years!?!
Sam's Pikachu was the first tattoo I did in the sketchy style and all the pieces I've done since in this style are down to him!
Such an awesome client and so fun to work on all these pieces. An absolute rabbit hole of my childhood cartoons 🖤
