🌻 BUILDING IT OUT 🌿

A little extension to this floral piece we originally created as a cover-up 🖤

The original section had already done the job of disguising the old tattoo, so this time it was all about adding more around it to make the whole piece feel fuller and more intentional across the forearm. We brought in extra flowers, leaves and finer details so everything flows together as one bigger composition rather than feeling like a standalone section.

I always love revisiting older work and getting the chance to build it into something even more complete ✨

🦉 REWORK IN PROGRESS 🖤

Two sessions down, one more to go on this chest piece transformation and it’s already looking completely different 👏🏼

We’ve been reworking the existing owl and surrounding details, building in more depth, contrast and structure while tying everything together with the geometric background and ornamental elements. There’s still one final session left to refine everything and finish the transformation, but the difference already is huge.

Really excited to see this one fully finished next time 🖤

🖤 SLEEVE COMPLETE 🖤

And that’s a wrap on this one 👏🏼

A proper mixture of themes and imagery brought together into one full black and grey sleeve — from Egyptian elements and mythology, through to the darker skeleton/reaper section, gambling imagery and portrait work. Loads going on, but it’s all been designed to flow into one finished piece rather than feel like separate tattoos stuck together.

These big ongoing projects are always so satisfying to finish, especially when you get to look back at how much the arm has changed from the first session to the last 👌🏼

🦁 WORK IN PROGRESS 🖤

First session down on this gorgeous ornamental lioness piece, with just one more session to go 👌🏼

We got the main lioness and the darker feathered side worked in this time, leaving the finer ornamental and floral details to finish next session. I love the contrast between the realism in her face and the more decorative elements around her — it gives the whole piece such a soft, elegant flow across the thigh.

Already looking beautiful, and I’m excited to see it all come together properly next time 🖤

🦉 BOY LOVES SYLV 🖤

Loved working on this one — such a cool mix of wildlife, texture and really personal little details.

We’ve got this gorgeous owl perched on a broken log, carved with a personal message and finished with the rosary beads and crucifix hanging underneath. Mostly black and grey with just those tiny pops of colour through the owl’s eyes and beads, which I think makes the whole piece stand out even more 👌🏼

Definitely one of those tattoos where the meaning is all in the details 🖤

♍ VIRGO SEASON ♍

Absolutely loved this one 🥰 Four hours across two days adding another chapter to this full astrology sleeve, with each section representing a different family member.

This time it’s all about Virgo, and perfectly timed right in the middle of Virgo season ✨ There are SO many meaningful little details worked into this piece — the Virgo constellation, the Virgo glyph, the house number, Virgo’s ruling planet Mercury, plus its mutable modality and earth element symbols.

I’ve had so much fun working on these astrology pieces and finding ways to pack all of those personal details into one design without losing the overall flow of the sleeve. And that little pop of colour behind the astronaut 😍👌🏼

🐉 COVER-UP IN PROGRESS 🐉

Session two on this full colour dragon cover-up and we’re finally starting to bring him to life 🔥

Our first session was all about getting the full outline in place, and this time we’ve started building the colour, depth and contrast through the dragon’s face. Those deeper blues and blacks are already doing a gorgeous job of pulling focus away from the existing tattoo underneath, with the warmer tones in the eyes and mouth giving it that extra bit of life.

There’s still plenty more to go across the body, scales and surrounding details, but I’m loving watching this one transform session by session 🖤

🪖 PERSONAL HISTORY, IN INK 🪖

Another addition to Jamie’s ongoing RAF / airborne-inspired sleeve — this time recreating his own military ID tags, alongside a second tag featuring Bellerophon and Pegasus.

There’s something especially nice about pieces like this because they’re not just military imagery — they’re completely personal to the person wearing them. Jamie’s name, service number, blood group and religion are all worked into the lower tag, with the Pegasus emblem tying it back into the wider airborne theme running through the sleeve.

Really enjoying seeing all the separate parts of this sleeve start to connect now 🖤

⚔️ BELLEROPHON & PEGASUS ⚔️

Another fun addition to Jamie’s ongoing RAF / airborne-inspired Parachute Regiment sleeve 🖤 This time we added Bellerophon riding Pegasus — one of the most recognisable symbols associated with British Airborne Forces.

Absolutely loving how this sleeve is coming together, although I’m definitely going to be sad when we finally reach the end of this project! 🥲 Thanks as always Jamie for trusting me with another piece of it 🖤

🐾 BYE BYE BAZ 👋🏻

From a little old bit of script to a completely new piece 🖤 Bye bye Baz, hello panther 😂

Absolutely loved transforming this one with a black and grey panther tucked into the florals — such a huge difference from what was there before.
