When we went to the Athens Tattoo Convention we were… a little unprepared.. we chopped our flights together (over 30 layover hours total) forgot to bring our tattoo bed and were too late to hire one (completely our fault) so last minute we managed to break down one of our arm rests into pieces and shove them in our tiny Ryan air backpacks.. 😭 and yes we got swabbed and searched at every security point for having random metal bars between us 😂 Despite those hiccups, I was able to still complete one of my favourite tattoos/concepts to date and im damn proud I was able to show it off internationally at the Athens Tattoo Convention 👊

Gold chrome dagger torn through a crumpled card, I chose to use skin tones for the shadows as I have previously chopped and changed between flesh tonnes and grey wash in previous sticker projects, honestly it depends on each individual which I choose! I went with flesh tones to try push for a slightly warmer feel rather than a cool grey wash shadow- turned out a bit pinker on the day than I was initially expecting but it’s settled really nicely and still a piece im proud of ❤️

Thank you for looking 🙏 -

Out of my comfort zone making this little video but with a truly beautiful day today, I’m spending my time outside absorbing the rays and making little cat shelters for our local Cats Protection Branch. A little about them in the video and if anyone has any boxes spare to donate that I can make into a shelter I’d absolutely love to do so! Also a little teaser on another Mini Market Event we will be hosting next month ❤️ thank you as always ❤️❤️

Still not quite over getting to work the 18th International Tattoo Convention in Athens 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 X 🇬🇷🖤
Such a surreal experience being surrounded by so much talent, meeting amazing people, seeing unreal work, and getting to tattoo at one of Europe’s biggest conventions. Feeling very grateful, very inspired… and quite proud of how far things are going ✨

Thank you again and for having me, and thank you to my amazing sponsors for the continued support ❤️

We also had the amazing opportunity to thoroughly test our tattoo process and aftercare balm in the Athens heat, and it passed with flying colours- it’s been a couple years in the making, thoroughly testing it to the extremes and we are delighted to bring you something special for your aftercare and tattoo process. Excited to bring it to the market 👊 💥
