For Jamie - a small mythic fragment suspended on the arm; weathered steel, feathered movement, and that deep crimson crest catching the eye like a distant warning flare. Ancient warrior energy softened into something quieter and more intimate. 🗡🪽

I absolutely adore creating these types of microrealism pieces - would welcome more. Thank you, Jamie! ✨️

For Elizabeth and Amber — matching tiger florals representing quiet feminine strength, resilience, and softness existing together in the same space. Delicate florals woven around an unwavering gaze to create pieces that feel both elegant and powerful. Thank you both so much for your lovely energy at every session. ✨

We have moved the studio, we have been there for 12 and a bit years but have now moved into another part of the business centre on the ground floor that we have waited for.

Everything is in place and all operations are a go go go.

So message us with your ideas for your next tattoo and we shall place you with the artist for the art you want.

Many thanks to you all and see you soon.

For Isaiah — a geometric Cleopatra piece with the ankh and Eye of Horus woven through the lower section. Bold without losing elegance, designed to flow with the arm while keeping each element distinct and readable from a distance.

Thank you, Isaiah, for trusting me with full artistic freedom on this one. 🙏🤲✨

For Hayley — moonlight, framed by gerbera and alstroemeria: her favourite things gathered into one. Soft, personal, and full of quiet feeling, this piece not only signifies new beginnings, but welcomes them.

Thank you, Hayley! 🌙✨🌸

For Alfie - a lush nature-themed piece to honour his children. We designed a custom piece blending a lily flower for Lily, loganberries for Logan, and a delicate purple butterfly symbolising their third born. It’s a gentle, personal story woven into art. Thank you 🌸 ✨️

For Sammy - Freedom is a choice made, a path claimed. This piece moves with you, shaped by your own direction.
Thank you for choosing one of my original flash designs and making it your own. A pleasure, always. ✨️ 🌙 🐦

For Anna - Inspired by Erté and Escher, Anna requested a bespoke designed piece about becoming — about shedding one skin and quietly stepping into another.
Transformation doesn’t always arrive loud or dramatic. Sometimes it happens in layers: ascent and descent, fire and stillness, reflection and release. This one lives in that in-between space — where the past dissolves, yet the future hasn’t fully formed.
We added a bit more cosmic embellishment in a second session to finish the aesthetic flow. ✨️

Thank you for trusting me with something this personal and allowing me to design it for you. A pleasure, always.

For Gemma - An homage to Salvador Dalí’s Woman with Flower Head — interpreted through soft anatomy, collapsing form, and a restrained burst of colour.
The figure elongates and melts downward, surrendering to gravity, while the floral head interrupts the body like a quiet eruption of life.

This piece explores fragility, impermanence, and surreal stillness — a body dissolving, a mind in bloom.

Thank you, Gemma! ✨️ 🙏 🌼 🌸 🌻 🌹 🏵
