πŸ–€ CUSTOM CONCEPT β€” CLAIMED & TATTOOED πŸ–€
I put this concept out a while back, and someone saw it, snagged it, and got the message behind it. 🀘
At first glance, some people are just going to see β€œFK YOU”** and wonder why you'd want that tattooed on your arm.
But that was never really the meaning.
It’s FK YOU to depression.
FK YOU to anxiety.
FK YOU to cancer.
FK YOU to the system.
FK YOU to the people who doubt you, hate on you or tell you that you can't.
F**K YOU to whatever life throws in your way. πŸ–•
It’s about pushing back, getting through s**t and refusing to let the hard parts of life define you.
I spent a lot of time developing this one because I genuinely loved the concept and wanted to make it as strong as I could. Thankfully, the right person saw it and connected with it enough to wear it permanently.
I like it. They like it. Hopefully you guys get it too. πŸ–€
I'm constantly trying to improve β€” tattooing, drawing, painting, studying, designing and using every tool available to me, including AI where it helps the process. Every week the goal is simple: make the next tattoo better than the last.
If this kind of work is your thing, you know where to find me. 🀘

βš”οΈ Six Months in the Making! βš”οΈ
This one has been an ongoing project for around six months, and we're finally just about at the finish line! πŸ–€
There's still one more session to go once everything has settled and healed. That'll mainly be a final touch-up session where I'll go through with some heavy blacks, strengthen the contrast and separate a few areas to really make everything pop. After that I'll get some proper finished photos of the entire leg. πŸ“Έ
Big projects like this definitely take a fair bit of commitment from both the client and the artist, but I reckon when you finally see the whole thing come together, it's worth it. πŸ™Œ
I'd absolutely love to take on more large-scale black & grey work β€” full sleeves, leg sleeves and bigger ongoing projects. If you've been thinking about starting something, flick me a message and we can have a chat about your ideas. 🀘

πŸ”₯ SECOND SESSION β€” SEE NO EVIL β€’ SPEAK NO EVIL β€’ HEAR NO EVIL πŸ”₯

Second session into this See No Evil, Speak No Evil, Hear No Evil half sleeve πŸ‘οΈπŸ’€

The concept is built around Chicano-inspired girls transitioning into half-skull faces, with the client wanting Rasta colours worked into the bandanas β€οΈπŸ’›πŸ’š

Still more to come on this one, but really happy with how it's starting to come together. As always, photos never quite seem to do tattoos justice β€” this one definitely looks so much better in person!

On another note, I've been working bloody hard behind the scenes lately. Winter has traditionally been a quieter time for me, so I'm really grateful to everyone who's been coming through the studio, booking in and keeping me busy. πŸ™

I've also been seriously refining my design process and building up a board of larger-scale original concepts that I genuinely want to tattoo. I've got around five full sleeve concepts, a full back piece and a heap of other larger ideas in the works already, with plenty more coming.

It's something I've wanted to build for a long time, but when you're tattooing and drawing for clients every day, finding the hours to properly develop a whole collection isn't always easy. I'm getting there though, and I'll start putting them out into the world soon. πŸ‘€πŸ”₯

The West Coast studio is coming together nicely, the work is flowing, and I genuinely feel like I'm only just getting warmed up.

I'm always looking for more work, so if you've been thinking about getting tattooed, flick me a message and let's create something cool.

Cheers heaps for all the ongoing support. πŸ–€πŸ™

🐍 Fresh Black & Grey Piece πŸ–€
Just finished this one up! Really happy with how it came together. πŸ™Œ
It’s a hard tattoo to capture properly in a single photo with the way it wraps around the arm, and honestly, I don’t think the photos quite do it justice.
Nice smooth black & grey, plenty of detail, with thin negative skin breaks throughout to give everything room to breathe and help it age nicely. πŸ‘Œ
If you’re keen on something along these lines, or have an idea you’d like to bring to life, flick me a PM! πŸ€™
