Fun times at !
Finished up a really cool bio-mechanical/cyborge sleeve for my man Aaron, who flew all the way up from Timaru! Absolute legend!! Ill wait till its all healed to share it properly.

Gave Molly her first Tattoo... a fluffy little bumblebee to start her bodysuit off 😂

Great seeing everyone, and meeting new faces, I always love the yarns and ofcourse getting super inspired by all the amazing Tattoos that went down!
Also really cool to see and involved with a Tattoo studio we could scribble all over! Finally! 😂

Massive thanks to and for your vision and hard work making this very special event happen, literally years of work! We can't thank you enough! 💚💚💚

Portrait of McClane for Rikki, we photographed him right here in the studio and managed to capture this great reference for the Tattoo! Also added a cosmic Raven to the otherside. (done over 2 days, 1 day each side)
Adding to her leg sleeve we started a few years back.

If anyone's interested in the photography side of things, I've been using a Canon R6 with an 85mm prime lens. Works beautifully for portraits, not just the reference photo but also capturing the final Tattoo.

Portrait of Salsa.

Love building up these fur textures, especially over multiple sessions to really fine tune the lighter tones and highlights!
