Got to do this Life is Strange inspired piece recently.

I've always enjoyed tattooing things people genuinely care about, whether it's from a game, film, book or just something that's stuck with them over the years. It usually makes for a better tattoo than just picking something off the wall.

Really pleased with how this one came together and it was great to work on something a bit different.

Thanks for the trust and the good company while we got it done.

If you've got an idea you've been sitting on for a while, drop me a message. Some of my favourite tattoos have started as a rough idea and a conversation.

Denver the Dinosaur rocking out.

This was a fun one to do. I grew up watching Denver, so it was nice bringing a bit of that childhood nostalgia back as a tattoo. Bright colours, an 80s feel, and a dinosaur with a guitar—what's not to like?

I spend a lot of time doing larger black and grey pieces, so it's always good to mix things up with something colourful and a bit different.

Thanks for sitting so well and trusting me with it.

If you've got an old cartoon, film, game, or character you've always thought would make a good tattoo, I'd be happy to have a chat about it.

Not quite finished yet, but I was too excited not to share this one.

Really enjoyed working on this leopard chest piece. keeping the face strong and expressive while using the leaves to frame it naturally. Lots of texture, smooth black and grey shading, and still a bit more to do before it's complete.

Big thanks to my client for the trust and for sitting so well through it so far.

If you've ever thought about getting a tattoo like this but aren't sure where to start, feel free to get in touch and we can chat through some ideas.

Really loved doing this one.
Great idea, I know I've seen it before but it was a fun challenge to line up with all the grid work, definately wasn't gonna do all that without using the first space so Earthworm Jim it was, loved using the colours I picked up from my buddy Joe at

Would happily do more pieces like this.

Done using machines and colours.

Really loved doing this one.
Soft black and grey horse portrait with the florals underneath just worked really nicely together. The softer shading mixed with the colour made this a fun one to build up.
Big thank you for the trust with this piece. I always enjoy doing tattoos that feel a bit more personal and balanced rather than just packing loads in for the sake of it.

Piece I did for Tim a while back, based on the Canary Islands 🖤
Tile/mosaic style gecko and turtle across the back. Bit different to the usual, but that was the point—keeping it bold, clean and readable while still getting that tiled look to sit properly in the skin.
Took a bit of planning to get the shapes and flow right across both sides, but came together nicely.
Cheers for the trust on this one mate.
If you’ve got something a bit different in mind, I’m always up for it.

One I did a couple of years ago but still love this one.
Bit more on the detailed side—scene up top with the skull and flowers underneath to ground it. All about getting the balance right so it flows with the leg and reads as one piece.
Nice to look back on ones like this.
Cheers for the trust on it.
Always up for doing more pieces like this.
