⚠️NEARLY LOST MY MONEY⚠️

this is the first time ive attacked joey with my own style and he had a foo dog on the inner calf! I stencilled up his inner leg and said we'd be done before 4! he doubted it obviously. we nearly made a bet! I bloody should've 😅

Some portraits are just built different.

Really enjoyed bringing Thor to life on this one. Strong contrast, loads of texture, and a piece that's going to stand out from every angle.

This was a proper fun one to do. ⚡

Not everything I do is black and grey...

Had a lot of fun with this little Skorupi piece. Bright colours, bold lines and a bit of Pokémon nostalgia thrown in for good measure.

I'd happily do more like this. 👊

Some tattoos just hit different.

Really enjoyed putting this hand piece together. A bold rose, Roman numerals across the fingers, and plenty of contrast to make it stand out.

Big thanks for sitting through it and trusting me with another one. 👊

POV: When your plan to adult today just failed...

So you unlock the studio instead. 😂

No complaints here... I'd rather be tattooing anyway.

Covering names isn't always easy... especially on the hand.

The old name is gone, replaced with something that means even more. A custom piece incorporating the year 1998, while completely transforming what was there before.

Massive thank you for trusting me with this one. 👊

Not every tattoo needs to be huge to make an impact.

Loved bringing this little memorial piece to life. Simple, meaningful, and one they'll carry with them forever. 🖤

Thanks for putting your trust in me.

Every sleeve starts with a first session.

The foundations are in, the direction is set, and this one's going to be something special. A mix of Ouija, magic and the occult... and we're only just getting started.

Can't wait to keep building this one over the next few sessions. 🔮
