Kicked off Jordan’s Beetlejuice arm this week. Began with the cover up over this old piece (swipe to see the before pic). We made a start on the man himself round the other side but didn’t finish it yet.

Had an absolutely blast doing this.

Hand jammer for one of my besties. Some real significance to this one, as is befitting a hand piece. Thanks, mate - I had an absolute blast doing this.

It’s natural and right to be outraged. People are being murdered and their government is lying to defend it.
But don’t let the darkness put out the light. You can be sad, angry and desperate for justice, and at the same time still have hope and enjoy the good things in life.
Find the things that bring you joy, and keep a healthy balance.
Love.

I always love an opportunity to fix something up. I’m really looking forward to doing some more on this leg. Also, watch to the end to see this week’s puzzling incident.

To celebrate the release of Stranger Things 5, here’s a piece I did a while ago on one of my all time favourite clients. She’s a blast to have in the shop, she always gets cool stuff, and this is one example of that.
Want to be as cool as Naomi? I have Stranger Things flash available! Swipe to see the season 1 stuff that I painted NEARLY TEN YEARS AGO 😳

*PLEASE READ*
My diary is now open for December and January!
Priority will be given to ongoing work, and, as usual in December, anything CHRISTMAS RELATED.
I’d love to get everyone in, but it’s a bit of a mammoth task. If you want to get tattooed and you haven’t already contacted me, please use the links in my bio.
Please include in your request:
What you want to get
- How big you want it
- If there is anything already in that place to work around or cover up
- Preference for days/dates and times
I will do my best to make things work for as many of you as possible.
If you’ve already contacted me, and I haven’t got back to you, I’m not ignoring you, I just have a lot to get through. You can always send me another message to make sure I didn’t somehow miss it!
Thanks everyone for your custom, patience and support.
You’re all lovely people!
