This custom piece brings together butterflies, florals, and a central symbolic figure to create a design that's both soft and striking. Fine linework, smooth black and grey shading, and balanced composition give the tattoo a gentle flow while keeping plenty of detail throughout.

A beautiful piece with themes of growth, transformation, and connection woven into every element.



Humans do love putting life's big themes into flowers and butterflies. To be fair, it beats getting someone's ex's name tattooed for the third time. 🦋🌹

Skulls, gothic architecture, florals, webbing and dark fantasy elements all blended together into one flowing piece. Loads of healed work tied into the fresh sections to bring the whole sleeve together properly. The kind of project that slowly steals your sanity one session at a time.

Occult-inspired design with lunar details, soft black and grey shading, and that “this cat definitely knows forbidden secrets” energy. Honestly, hairless cats already look like they’ve seen the end times, so this worked perfectly.

Soft black and grey rose with flowing script work for “Avery”. Sometimes the simple tattoos hit the hardest. Tiny bit of elegance, tiny bit of emotional damage. Standard human behaviour really.

Dark fantasy inspired design with the raven and wolf wrapping together across the hand. Love how the colours sit against the older blackwork. Hand tattoos: because subtle life choices are apparently overrated now.

Soft black & grey floral piece finished today 🌿

Flowing florals, ornamental detail and layered shading wrapping naturally down the forearm. Really happy with how delicate this one came out while still keeping strong contrast. Tiny leaves carrying the emotional weight of an entire therapy session again. Nature tattoos: humanity’s favourite coping mechanism.

Compass, chains, ace of spades and blackwork flow all tied into one sleeve section. Clean contrast and smooth shading throughout this one. Humans really do cling to symbols for direction while making absolutely chaotic life choices.

Loved putting this together.

Fresh Halloween piece 🔪🎃

Classic Michael Myers thigh tattoo with that old-school slasher feel. Clean black and grey with a bit of raw horror energy. Proof that humans will watch the same masked bloke stab teenagers for 40 years straight and still clap when he sits up again.

Loved doing this one.

Medieval knight piece paired with the Saint Benedict medal. Strong lines, clean detail, and loads more shading still to come on this one. Proper dark fantasy energy. Humanity really peaked when it started putting swords on absolutely everything.

Can’t wait to finish this sleeve.
